Random Weekend Snaps

We've lost an hour over each of the past 2 nights as we've headed for Funchal, Portugal. This is what we call clock management. Between our laptops, watches, phones and ship time, it's easy to get mixed up about what time it is! Anyway, we've had a very nice and peaceful weekend.

One of the guys in our Bible study group invited us to a 90th birthday celebration in the owner's suite on Friday night. I didn't want to go empty handed, but what do you give a 90 year old woman who has everything? Chocolate, of course. 

I'm posting a few photos I took (with permission) of the central area of the suite (dining/bar/butler's pantry) but I also took photos in the bath, master, living room and deck. Every room has its own ocean view.

I won't post the "birthday girl's" photo here without permission - but I'm still having a hard time believing she is 90. One would NEVER guess! She's a former model and still a beauty. Most impressive of all, she still wears high heels at age 90! 

This morning we had our "church" service - a group of us who gather to watch a week-delay sermon from Eagle Brook Church in Minneapolis. Afterwards, we enjoyed visiting with some from the group at a Super Brunch in the Grand Dining Hall. I snapped a few quick photos.

I am spoiled rotten on this ship! If I don't get off soon, I won't remember how to cook, clean or do laundry! Anyway, here are some random photos from the weekend.
