I just had to share this photo of a big cruise ship in port and a very cute little boat sailing around the harbour.
Wouldn't you like to go on a cruise around the Islands? I know I would.
Jodie, ( a blog friend ) is on a cruise at the moment and I bet she will be having a marvelous time.
I was sorry to hear from a friend, who also makes Teddy bears, that her husband passed away.
Sending much love and hugs to Christine and her dear daughter and may the memories they hold in their heart bring healing, peace and comfort.
The past week has been a busy one and I have not had much time to sit and visit my blog friends.
Many thanks for visiting me and I look forward to coming over to say hello.
Today we had friends over for lunch, so I look forward to sharing some photos with you as we had some delicious food, to eat.
Wishing you all a very happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
Love and hugs to you

Oh, I would so LOVE to go on a cruise. That's how I met my hubby!
ReplyDeleteWe used to go on one every year and/or go to Hawaii for vacation but with our doggies we can't go anywhere, no one to doggie sit.
I am so sorry to hear of your friend's husband's passing.
I've missed you this week and was wondering if all is okay. Ah, yes, I know how life can get really busy at times!
Have a wonderful weekend!
((Hugs))

Dear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteWeek-end Blessings to you!
Have a good one.
When I look outside and see our wintry weather, I think hummmmm you are having milder weather than Kansas! Hope you'll smile at the sun and take a deep breath. Lucky you!
God bless,

Thats's a great picture, Carolyn! I'm not sure I would feel too good sitting in that smal boat ...

Hi Susan,
Always great to have a visit from you, dear friend.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hi Marsha,
How wonderful that you met your husband on a cruise ~ very special.
That is one thing about owning pets, going on a holiday can be a problem.
I have missed getting around to visit you and look forward to doing it soon ~ things have been busy here.
Thank you Deanna. I am grateful for the beautiful sunny weather and got some sunburn on my arm yesterday, ouch! ... even though we were sitting under the sun umbrella.
Hi Julia,
It looks so teeny next to the huge boat, but I have seen it out sailing around on the harbour and it looks fun. Happy weekend
Thank you CC, that is very kind of you.
Hi Maryanne,
Thank you for your visit and glad that you had a trip to Fiji.
It is lovely and warm at the tropical Island.
Hugs
Carolyn
I Love the photo - I am a little unsure about the cruise idea. I love it in thought but am not that good on the sea so wonder how I would be!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you for the new year, it's going to be a busy one.

That photo is fantastic! You tend to forget how huge cruise ships are until you see a little boat next to it!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your friend's husband. I hope she and her family are doing ok.
You sound so sweet in your post, Carolyn, and, I am touched by your feeling the pain of your friends. I am sure that we all wish for them comfort. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! That little boat is cute....
ReplyDeleteI am probably the only person who has no desire to go on a cruise. Well... at least not out in the oceans. hahaha
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Mary
I love cruise trips...I was on one a couple of years ago and it was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMany blessing to your friends...
Have a great Sunday dear Carolyn, cheers: Evi
Just stopping by to say hello. Looks like we have all been busy with life. I do love you new header and background. ~jermaine~
ReplyDeleteThank you Haute-Shopper, for your visit and kind words.
ReplyDeleteHi Charity,
Always great to have you call by, thank you for your kindness.
Thanks Mary, yes there are some people who do not like going out in boats. Even traveling on the Waiheke ferries, there are commuters, that every time it is rough go a pale greenish shade.
Thank you Miss Eve, for your visit. Glad that you could go on a cruise.
Seems to be a nice and relaxing way to take a holiday.
Many thanks Jermaine, seems to be a busy time of the year with family and one thing and another.
I look forward to coming over to visit you.
Hugs
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn, that sure is a large ship! How nice that you had a lunch with friends. Looking forward to your photos. One of my new year's resolutions is to have friends over more often. Be sure to stop by when you make it to California!!
ReplyDeleteSharon :-)
What a beautiful photo Carolyn. That ship is HUGE!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words on my new heathy life. I do feel great these days and I am grateful.
Blessings, ~Melissa :)
Oh this is the most delightful photograph. I hope your friend is covered by God's grace to get through such a difficult time. Two of my close friends lost their mothers this week.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Thank you Sharon, and the same if you ever make it to NZ would like it if you came to visit us.
ReplyDeleteI was in the USA about 25 years ago.
Hi Melissa,
Glad to hear that you are feeling great and much luck with the new healthy life.
Hi Karen,
So very sorry to hear about your two friends that lost their loved ones. It is so very hard, I know.
Thank you for your visit.

Carolyn
Funny photo of big and little!
ReplyDeleteThink a cruise would be a nice thing to be on right now, Carolyn. OR..an invitation to your lunch with friends.
If not, at least tell us all about it!
What a great photo! And haven't you had days when you feel like that little boat next to that giant cruise ships? I think my mountain of to do's since returning home to Europe after a month in America has me feeling that way today! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Toma
Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteLove the boat photo!
I haven't had much time for blogging either.

Oh my! That tiny little boat looks like a toy compared to the big one. So sorry to hear of your friend's loss. So many seem to be losing their battle these days or losing loved ones. Very sad times for some. Glad to hear that all is well with you. Wishing you a most wonderful week. Blessings, Tammy
