Bagpipes on the St Andrews (Canada) wharf. Summer is easy!

Some Canadians are making a counter offer to Americans bordering us to join Canada -

However I believe, as true as these stats might be, we are in danger of angering our American neighbours.

It’s not about stats (see below) a- it’s about our Country where we were born and live/love.

BREAKING: Trump is making a last-minute push to block Jack Smith from issuing his final report on his two dismissed criminal cases against the president-elect. Trump’s lawyers wrote to Merrick Garland, urging him not to release Smith’s report, which they reviewed in Smith’s office in recent days.

In the Drake Passage on my way to Antarctica.
12-15 foot waves and foggy.
The rolling of the ship and lack of visibility mirrors my sense of the USAs political situation.

Would it be too much to ask that at least 2 Republicans vote No today?🤔

Happy holidays whatever your cultural/religious beliefs!

Manta Ecuador..basically on the equator. A wonderful area - especially if you like high quality chocolate, Tuna and Shrimp. Also seem to have really nice people who see beauty in their culture and life. Makes me want to stay right here for a few years!

Today on our way to Ecuador we cross the Equator. Sailors who do that are called “shellbacks”. Seems like for the next 4 years we are all going to need a strong “shellback” to put up with the Sh..show we are about to face🤔🫣

In Honduras today but read that Trump once again referred to Canada as a State and Trudeau as governor.
Not funny!
Not even the least bit funny!!

A wonderful warm day in Mexico.
Clear bottom kayak day - then heading off for Belize tomorrow.
Trying not to think of the s Show back home.

Finally at sea off the coast of Cuba - on our way to Mexico.
Nothing like a sea day to brighten your spirits🤗

Antarctica here we come!

Today is our “Mina massage” day! Once a week we get pampered. Massages relaxes our body and
Soothes our soul…and gives us the strength to meet another 7 days of ludicrous choices …. Most of them not made by us🤨😖

Beautiful “high sky” sunny warm day in Casa Grande - but eggs too are still “sky high” - so I’m eating steak instead🤗

I had a poor round of golf today - but I looked at the circumstances and decided to forgive myself 😞🫣 My day just doesn’t compare to more important people does it!

Today I wrote “The last page” in Journal #77 and started “Page one” of Journal #78.
The transition marks a milestone of 25 years writing daily observations - reaching back to November 1999.
Most of it has been mundane - but all of it has been therapeutic and genuine🫣😞

Just checked in on-line for our 38 day cruise to Antartica which begins in Miami a week today.
Then took a long walk to get in shape for the tour excursions.
We feel we are very lucky people.

Weekly in-house massage day! 😊
Cut back on food today - over ate yesterday😞.

Gotta journal early today…busy assisting with prepping for American Thanksgiving. Pecan pie and green bean casserole on the way. May your days be thankful wherever you live🙂🙏

Bit of a special occasion day…
The day before American Thanksgiving (yes other countries have Thanksgiving too!).
Got our RSV shot today in preparation for our cruise around South America/Antartica.
Ordered an Amaryllis for my sister for Christmas.

Pretty quiet day. Golfed with the Moore group and got closest to the pin - 10 inches🤗
November 26, 2024 at 9:04 PM
Todays 2 most important journal entries…talked with my daughter - caught up on her family and golfed with the Keller group- played iffy🤨
November 26, 2024 at 1:45 AM
Another quiet beautiful day in Arizona - planted 7 cactus- hoping they all take before we go on our cruise in 2 weeks🤞

I’m a journaler - not a journalist.
Have recorded my day to day since Nov 1999. On journal #77.
Does anyone else out there journal?
