Sydney, Nova Scotia and Yet More Eating on the Norwegian Jewel
OK. I’m just a teeny bit embarrassed to tell you that I had mashed potatoes again last night. On a dinner plate. In my defense, I ordered the gratin potatoes, thinking I would try something different and yum gratin potatoes all cheesy and but no.

Eating and Relaxing on the Norwegian Jewel
I have now found my favorite place on the Jewel. This, of course, is completely aside from the restaurants onboard, which are all my favorite places because I am seriously having some of the best food on planet Earth. Possibly the universe.
At Sea on the Norwegian Jewel

What goes around…
My dad passed away a few years ago. He had suffered for a while with lung cancer but the end was very peaceful. In a morphine-induced twilight world, he took one last breath and slipped away. I wasn’t in the hospital room. I was in the parking lot lugging a basket full of food up … Continue reading
Leaf Peeping on the Norwegian Jewel
For the last couple of years, ever since I have been addicted to occasionally checking Facebook, my sweet cousin Pam in Rhode Island has talked about leaf peeping in the fall. When I would read this, I would smile gently at how clever she was to make up a cute little name for looking at … Continue reading

If you have read this post and this one, you know that I am truly a WordPress Dummy and I often find myself stepping back in astonishment at the things I have been doing wrong because I didn’t know any better and hadn’t taken the time … Continue reading
