Thursday
Today was the day…
We went to Claremont to pick up my orthodontic retainer and finally, after 5 visits I don’t need to return!
Life is made up of helpful, happy little moments and today we had one of them. On the way back home, we stopped at the Blue Route to do some shoe shopping. I have found the sandals that will work perfectly for the dinners on the ship. They are comfortable and fit my inserts. Ta-da.
You can hardly notice the inserts because they are also black. They make all the difference to the comfort of the shoe and they don’t need to be fixed to the shoe. I can take them out and put them back in my walking shoes if I need to. We are on the ship for 30 nights, so I imagine they will have a few formal nights. I’ll have to mix and match but I’ve put three outfits in ziplock bags.
It’s getting close.
Of course there is still this hanging over our heads!
We’ll do our best to protect ourselves and hope for the best. The Lord knows! We are planning on a negative test!
At least we also have a week in Italy prior to the cruise commencing. I’m watching the Varenna weather daily. First there were 4 days of rain during the 6 days we are there. Then there were 2. Now, rain is forecast on the day we arrive and there will be two more, but at least Wed 9th, Sat 12th and Sun 13th will be dry. We catch a train to Milan on 14th. The 8th and the 10th look like heavy rain. The 11th we may get out between showers. Of course, this will become more accurate the closer it gets.
We’ll be sure to take umbrellas!
The weekend beckons!
Titus 2:11
The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
