Hope you all remembered to change your clocks. I did like Maryq and took a nap to make up for the lost hour. I missed you all!! Thought I would cut and paste what I wrote late yesterday for you all to see. WE ARE BACK!!!! but the ground was still moving all day yesterday so it was a quiet day. The cruise was very nice. A bit cold at times but still had fun getting together with Rob's classmates from different years. Lots of stories told with giggles here and there. There were 12 of us and the only bummer was that we never had dinner at the same table and no one was willing to mix it up. We did all agree that the Melting Chocolate Cake for dessert and the Lobster was a hit. I could only eat 3 tails though - LOL!!!! We did get together with others in our group here and there which was always a nice surprise. Great to see many had lots of common interests and a few actually live close by. One on Tehachapi and one in Boron so we will see if we get together again.
The Stage Shows were terrific but the Comedy shows started way late for us. We did get a taste of one of the comics who was very good but the entire show started at 11:45PM.
We also enjoyed eating breakfast and lunches with many not in our group and was amazed how much we had in common with them as well. Never a lack of something to talk about and was always sad that we had to leave for excursions we had already set up. There was a couple we met on our first breakfast and we always met them to watch the shows together.
The day at sea was a Rock and Roll day and I am not talking about Music or Drinking. I forgot to bring the Rummikub game but we did figure out that we could play the game with 2 decks of cards and Rob actually beat me twice which brought a smile to his face!!
I think this will be the last cruise going to Ensenada. We have exhausted seeing all we want to. Would like to see some other places ... like Alaska!!! Couldn't find any Fabric stores that were close enough for us to visit in Mexico and the craft store in Catalina only had a tiny, tiny, tiny collection

On the way home we stopped at a Sew Vac Ltd store in Longbeach on Clark Ave (in the pouring rain!!!!) that had many sewing tables set up for you to try. We had talked to them many times over the phone as we did a lot of research on many different tables. They gave us a HUGE, HUGE great deal on the floor sample of a Horn Super Quilter's Dream 5280 table with the electric lift!! https://www.hornofamerica.com/products. ... ductID=134[/url] So now we wait for the Machine Insert to arrive and then we will figure out how to get it. Rob will either take the truck down or they will meet us or they will deliver it to the house if they are coming this way. WooHoo!!!
So now back to some cotton therapy as I make my March Lucky Lotto blocks, wait for the chocolate fabric to finish the February Lotto Block Quilt and figure out how to quilt the one on the frame and and play catchup
