DAY SEVEN of Cruise/Trip: Wednesday September 17th, 2025

 Peggy and I went to the Bible study and then to the buffet for a late breakfast.  We went to a competition between officers and guests (water ping pong). Peggy completed and I took some pictures.   David and Peg went to customer service (I think to ask about possible reimbursement for not going to Juneau).  I went to the theatre for the movie THE PROPOSAL after a while, Peggy joined me there, but she fell asleep and slept through most of it.  She said she had already seen the movie, anuways.  I liked it.  We returned to our cabin for a bit, and then she and I went to AFTERNOON TEA.  This was kind of a weird experience. We were put (along with a few other people) in kind of an alcove. The servers almost routinely ignore this alcove and it was kind of hard to get our small items (small sandwiches, scones, cakes, etc.)  We returned to our room for a bit before it was time for supper at the MICHELANGELO.  I had the chicken parm, which was nothing special.  I wasn't really hungry because of afternoon tea, anyways.  Peggy and David went to the evening show in the theatre but I did not want to go. They said the show was not very good.  Both Peggy and I had some gastrointestinal issues, and we think it was from the last item we had at the tea:  chicken salad sandwiches.  

At 8:40 p.m. we heard and annoncement that one or two very ill patients were being airlifted to Juneau by helicopter.  

Peggy went to EFFY's and got us two free pendants.  I am almost finished with the book ALL BUT MY LIFE, which belongs to Peggy.

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

Image
 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

 I had the oil changed on my car this morning.  I talked with Elaine and Betty on the phone, also.   I decided it would be a good day to stock up on groceries and other items since Thanksgiving is next week and the stores will be full of people.  Also, from watching the news, I think maybe there will be another STAY AT HOME order coming soon due to the rising number of COVID cases in this area.   First I went to Aldi's where I spent close to one hundred dollars on all sorts of items including some frozen vegetables, a piece of salmon, ground beef, canned vegetables, etc.  I took those groceries home so I could get the frozen stuff into the freezer.  I made myself  a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.  I have so much food, paper items and cleaning items that it was hard to find spots to put everything.  I still have two hundred dollars worth of SNAP benefits available.   I rested, read and watched TV the rest ...

 I got a call from Kevin K. at Northwest Bank at nine a.m. asking if I could come in and sign one more paper regarding my new SYMMETRA account.  I agreed to be at the bank at 9:45.   After that, I went to FREEDOM CHURCH for the Ladies Life Group.   Their were nine of us there and it went well.  Then five of us went out to lunch at THE OLIVE LEAF. During lunch I asked Elaine if we might be able to start up some fun things to do together on Tuesdays after Life Group.  We had started doing that a few years ago, but it never really stuck.  Elaine was very enthused about this idea.   When I got home, there was a call from the estate lawyer asking me to come in to the office and sign some forms regarding the Principal account at Key Bank.  I called and agreed to go in tomorrow morning. I tried to reach Christa by phone since I know she took today off as a "mental health day".  She did not answer, so I left a message.  She p...
