Still Rocking and

Rolling with an occasional whoosh-bang when the bow slams down added into the fun. Otherwise, we have passed into the open Atlantic.  Asking at the front desk – there are 175 passengers. I have a feeling if the ship was full, and the weather was lovely, some of the lounges might feel a bit crowded. But with all the lovely waves and bouncing, nothing seels particular people full. 

Since from there on – for the next week + we are on see days, I was thinking to provide a brief tour around the ship. Since I am one of the few up before anything is really open, it is easy to grab pictures of areas empty of passengers,,,

First – this place seems to be clean lines, and a whole lot of white and beige. Oh, yes – a bit of cream, black or wood are tossed in as accents. First – the reception area located on Deck 4  is normally staffed by one lovely young woman with occasional backup by her boss if more than one passenger happens to approach at the same time. At 0dark in the morning – very unlikely.

then there is the lounge which is at one end of deck 4 with Amphora – the dining room – at the other. Since I am not a particularly tall person, the ceilings don’t feel low at all, but I am not sure how I would view them if I was basketball player high,

again, all neutrals. All of the chairs and couches are quite comfortable, considering their blandness of the decor. 

I spent the day listening to audio books and doing some stitching. I have just about finished the first page of Fisherman’s Friends and will post an update picture tomorrow. 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
