finally, i didn’t feel the need to eat such a huge breakfast on this second-to-last breakfast on board. another ship! closer and closer to southampton… we did go to an interesting lecture, by a journalist who had travelled with the queen in her...

since les has a long history of escaping over the fence (he’s not able to do that anymore, finally), and then being gone for hours if we let him roam free, we’ve been limiting his going-out time. kevin lets him out in the early morning and he comes right...

…as we got closer and closer to southampton! still pretty far out. this was always my favorite channel on the TV, because it listed the temperature outside, the water temperature, all the weather stuff, plus it pinpointed where we were out in the middle of the...

Thursday the 6th and friday the 7th of August, we were pretty busy at sea. looking at my pictures, though, it’s so much all about the food. well, one reason, like i’ve mentioned, is because amy wanted to see photos of food! also, there were many...

our first full day at sea, which was wednesday, august 5th. it wasn’t a day that was all about food, but i realize that most of these photos are, indeed, all about the food…i’m trying to not post so many photos of our crossing because i want to get...

winnie seems to be handling his diabetes diagnosis pretty well. i can give him a shot now without freaking him out, and of course kevin has been an expert at it for a very long time. i took this picture as winnie dozed with his head on kevin’s comfy keyboard,...

i think i name the posts by the day of the week in order to remember what day it is. it’s especially confusing this week because monday was a holiday, and on sunday we went up to northern illinois to visit kevin’s family and got back on monday, which felt...

and i woke up very early for me. sometime around 6:00, winnie started meowing at kevin, crawling around on him, lying on top of his head. how can kevin sleep through all that? winnie would stop and purr for a bit, then commence with the meowing and tromping all...

DANG it got here in a hurry. and here i am sitting on my couch, and it’s not even 50 degrees outside… and once again, i’m trying to remember what, exactly i was so very busy doing all last month. well, first and foremost, i had to take many pictures...
