Lasagna onboard our ship in Sette Mari restaurant.  

The cuisine served onboard our ship has been excellent with a professional and attentive wait staff.  This lasagna was good but lacked love which made me think about Ruth Ann's sister, Donna Jean.  Donna Jean makes the best lasagna in the world with its tender noodles, thick red sauce and two types of cheese.  Her dish is accompanied by pepperoni rolls and a slice of the best pie, most could only dream about.  Donna Jean's secret ingredient in all her meal preparations is love.  She has nurtured her family most of her life with food that brought loved ones together resulting in good conversation and laughter while making memories in the process.  Her kitchen is warm and inviting and a signature of her soul.  Isn't that what we all want in our family gatherings?

Rob Thomas sang in Little Wonders;

Our lives are madeIn these small hoursThese little wondersThese twists and turns of fateTime falls awayBut these small hoursThese small hoursStill remain

Devil's Island

Image
 This was a French penal colony for 100 years until 1953, where convicts went to die of disease or harsh conditions as 75% died within their first year.  We have each seen prison cells (from the outside of the cell!) so we will not tender to this 35 acre island. My most recent post worried our family that we are not enjoying our journey.  Quite the contrary, we are walking an hour every morning and working out at the fitness center 3 times per week.  We have danced, played scrabble, dined with other couples and we have each finished a book.  Our travel consultant gave us good suggestions for future excursions.  I believe it is important to not only record the positive experiences but to also write about the unfavorable accounts, as well.  I tried to add a bit of humor to make them more pleasant to read and recollect.   “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The...

Food and Wine

Image
 One more day before we reach our first port in Roseau, Dominica.  These days at sea have allowed us to organize our stateroom, read and relax.  The meal offerings are rated the best in the sea cruise industry.  After gorging the first day, we have settled into our usual routine of light breakfast and lunch followed by a moderate dinner with the weekends allowing more caloric intake.  The food is a culinary delight and good wine flows freely on our all inclusive cruise along with good beverages for those who choose to remain sober.  This reminds me of our granddaughter, Caroline.  Shortly before our departure, we were viewing photographs on my phone when she looked at a photo of me and said, "No offense Grandpa, but you look plump".  I replied, "I exercise regularly and try my best not to get fat but there is so much good food and wine".  Old Soul Caroline ended the exchange with "A Life Well Lived".  I write this story with the utmost r...
