Tuesday

Tuesday Sleep long. . . Up twice to pee. We got to turn our clocks back and gained an hour.  As much as I coughed in the night, and had a bloody nose at 5 am, i dressed quickly and felt rested and fit as a fiddle! Our bath has a tub! Breakfast in the dining room. Garden frittata, grapefruit juice and turkey bacon. Dan says 'He loves my spirit!' In cubbie 3424 we plan our day: 10:15 Kitchen tour Then Dan needs a nap. . .  I am reading Mrs Peregrine Home for Peculiar Children. Se try the lap thing but it 36mph windy. So we settle off our 3rd floor room onto the aft 'lanai'. Relaxing on bleached teak lawn recliners reading and dozing, sheltered but getting sun fortified. Laps: exercise is overrated". Todays slogan At 12:36 Dan nods to me. . . Salad bar? Yes please we each eat a bowl and share a delicious ziti.  Ambling to the pool to continue our sleepy bear impersonation. Happy hour The Bombay Sapphire martinis Early Dinner- pineapple Arugula salad T...

Sunday

We slept deeply, only a minor wakeful period at three, coughing hoarsely. I awake at 8, shower and rouse Dan. All shades of grey envelop us: sea, waves, sky, fog, awareness of our last 24 hours. We eat the Full English breakfast, sharing banger, and egg. I love the beans and broiled tomato with rasher and egg, a bowl of berries. We walk our mile with the Walk for the Cure participants. We expressed interest but never signed up. The walk was pleasant with nifty fifty tunes.. Dan feels tired enough he wants to nap. In the explorers lounge i read Doig and he slumbers. It is Sunday and the text is John 4:5-42 about the woman at the well. Aside from meditation the narrative by Jan Richardson is rich in water imagery. Blessing of the Well If you stand at the edge of this blessing and call down into it, you will hear your words return to you. (Help!) If you lean in and listen close, you will hear this blessing give the story of your life back to you. ( I will car...

Wednesday

Wednesday Awake to plugged nostrils at four. Blow and read while Dan dozes. "Stir up in--------, the gift of------." A Strange phrase from the past permeates the space.(me.  Compassion.) Dan wakes me at 8:30,after  a quick shower and we arrive at breakfast. I'm having caffeine;) half grapefruit, forest mushroom eggs benedict and a chocolate croissant. Dan doesnt order as well so he gets half the egg dish in exchange for a slice of turket bacon which I glaze with apricot jam. Yumm We hang out on deck watching the shores as we pull into Juneau. At 11 we attend the culinary arts cooking salmon show. It's back outdoors to read and off to lunch at 12:30. We ate by the pool from the salad bar. Mine is a chicken Caesar with artichoke hearts, kidney beans and mac nuts, a bit eclectic:)then Dan and I share a serving of ricotta spinach lasagna. Its so so. Juneau is beautiful; sunny and sixty five. We have a walking tour scheduled at 2:30, just enough time to scour '...
