Friday Faves. Yes, I’m still hearting Carnival Spirit Alaska.

Today’s Topic:

 
I don’t know what was best…

 Having a different menu every night……

 Being able to order one or five appetizers…

  Having attentive, happy servers…..(sorry, no pics of the servers, too busy eating and watching glaciers out the dining room window)

 Leaving the tablesetting and dishwashing to someone else……

 Eating all the dessert I wanted…..

 
 All this was great.
But the best part [...]

Friday Faves – Carnival Cruise Line Spirit North to Alaska

I’ve talked about our Alaska trip here and here.  But, I haven’t discussed life on the ship much.  So thought I would share a few some pictures from the ship.
First, let’s talk about our room.  We had a balcony room, which served us well.  Big J, Little J and I sleep with fans all year [...]

Friday Faves – Picnik.

 
                     
 
 
 
I remember the first time I touched a computer. 1983.
I was working as an engineering tech for an oil company in Midland, TX.  BTA Oil Producers.  An IBM PC was brought in to the office.  One.  For the whole company.  You could only touch it if you had permission and training.  The floppy disks were [...]

Friday Faves – Carnival Cruise Line Spirit Alaskan Cruise. Part 2.

Well, we had a little bit of a rude awakening when we got back and settled in from our cruise.  Going from cold weather to hot weather, and breathing dry airplane air for seven hours put our bodies into shock.  All 3 of us are fighting sinus crude and I’ve been hacking my lungs out.  [...]

Through a series of family events, Lifer got to be a part of a family Alaskan cruise.  To where it is cool, cooler, coolest.  COLD.  In the summer.   There are also [...]

Friday Faves – Dian Malouf, Part 2.

In the Spring of 2006, I found a little box in my mail.  I opened it to find a beautiful silver ring with the Alamo on the square front of the ring.  I didn’t order it.  There was no card inside the box.  I was stumped.  I called my friend Lana to see if she [...]

Friday Faves – dian malouf’s Go Girl Ring

 
I have a long history with one piece of jewlery. A Go Girl ring, designed by Dian Malouf. She originally designed the ring as a tangible sign of support for girlfriends who were going through cancer treatments. I first wore my Go Girl ring in December 1999 for a dear friend, Patricia, who was fighting Inflammatory Breast Cancer. [...]

Pleasing, picture-perfect, plump pecans, folded into fabulous, finger-lickin’, flawless filling. Pour mixture atop celebrated, crazy-good, coveted crust. Add in one small town, funky, family-run establishment and you have Royers Famed Pecan Pie.

Friday Faves – I Heart Royers Round Top Cafe

I’m trying to find my blog rhythm, so I’ve designated Fridays as the day to discuss the things in life that bring me pleasure.  Last week I discussed Cherry Mash and had some nice comments.  Today I will be revealing my next fav to you:
                    Royers Round Top Cafe in Round Top, Texas (pop 87).

Royers is a nice drive [...]
