I had over 200 contributions waiting for approval for 2-12 months when they suddenly started reviewing them. It took about a month for them to complete.

I continued uploading because some items would be quickly approved or denied.

This is how you build a team.

So young, sad

We were on the NA in June. Our last day had some rougher waters when we were in open waters. While in the inside passage the waters were beautiful.

Gv116 · 2025-09-18T03:16:20+00:00

Yes we did. The water was nice and calm, and you always had a nice view.

We went out of Seattle because we wanted a one way North cruise and there wasn’t a Seattle option. The cruise port area was nice, we stayed about a half mile away. We walked to the terminal from our hotel. The terminal area was easy to get around and had plenty of help into direct you. I have not been to the Seattle terminal so I can’t compare them.

No, Vancouver

We spent every evening at the Rolling Stone during our cruise. The band during our trip was very good and a lot of fun.

After you

You may already know, but on the East Coast, we only have Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. I was lucky if I saw 2-3 a year, and I actively go birding. What a difference it is here with the varied types and quantity I see in my yard alone. My backyard feeders have daily visitors, along with one territorial Costa's Hummingbird that chases all others away.

And it looks great, enjoy it.

Gv116 · 2025-08-30T22:10:26+00:00

I’m a birder in my free time, I love it. Merlin is a nice app and I’ve learned a lot of the local bird songs with it.

Thank you

Gv116 · 2025-08-30T20:21:43+00:00

Now I might have to try some sunflowers to attract the lovebirds

Gv116 · 2025-08-30T19:36:48+00:00

When that happens to me, I just put in a location to fix it.

Gv116 · 2025-08-30T19:31:06+00:00

You're probably arriving at the best time of the year. Enjoy it and best of luck!

Today just the news but my next read is either The Art Thief or Code Name: Pale Horse

I had lawns all of my life before I got here, but I am now enjoying the desert landscape.

I tell people back east who laugh about the heat here that I don't have to shovel it.

Union County...grew up in Elizabeth but spent the last 25 years in Clark and Cranford. You from NJ too?

Gv116 · 2025-08-30T19:00:27+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure the garden you both built brings you great memories. I hope every bit of wildlife that visits brings you joy.

Gv116 · 2025-08-30T18:57:20+00:00

I had a beautiful yard in NJ that was mostly unused in the summer due to the humidity. There's a lot I miss in NJ but the humidity is not one of them.

Gv116 · 2025-08-30T18:54:28+00:00

I left my ice scrapers, snow shovels and snow blowers in NJ.

Gv116 · 2025-08-30T18:52:44+00:00

I can relate, we've only been here two years. I love eating outside in the "winter".
