We are getting read for our 20th cruise in 18 years. It will be from Ft. Lauderdale to Europe and Africa and back. 42 days. A cruise line is good for wherever it goes when you want it to go. Most of the lines realize that there are folks who want to compare, so they generally don't put out bad food or take you to dangerous ports of call or have dirty cabins. Pick a cruise by where and when, then the price. Another consideration is the demographics of the passengers. I have been on ships from 8 cruise lines and the people who favor one vs. another are different. Jim

I desperately needed new waterproof garden boots and stumbled onto these at a local 'feed store' yesterday! called the Muck 'Scrub Boot', they're mid-height and seem super comfortable. I only wore them briefly to model. :)

I hope they gave everyone samples, Glenda! When we visited a Benedictine monastery in Germany a couple of years ago, they gave us samples of the liqueur they made.

No,I have not. I am not really much of a jam person(too much sugar). This tree grows in our yard and is about 15 years old. This is the first year we actually have enough to pick if I had wanted to.
