Daylilies

I have grown daylilies for a long time.  It's been a while but I'm happy to have these pretty little guys in the front now.  I almost gave up on them since they didn't do so well in the pots they came in and almost died.  Fortunately though, I wet them, put them in new pots, and new they live in this nice large pot. We got back from our cruise and these new flowers welcomed us back.

The cruise was awesome!  I always wanted to go across an ocean on a cruise and finally got the chance. We had a whole 12 days on the open ocean although my wife was able to stay busy giving presentations about every other day.  She also participated in the passenger play on the last day of the cruise.

Crossing the date line was different though.  We got the same day to redo.  I know it wasn't actually the same day but it was still neat.  Not a lot of sun on the cruise but that wasn't too bad really.  There was plenty do do on board.  The crew did their best to make the trip enjoyable and memorable.  The guy on the piano particularly was awesome.  He had a huge range of songs he knew.  Probably our favorite place to go in the evening to wind down.

After it all though I still wanted to sleep in my own bed.  Nothing quite like being home.  Next time I really want to have some friends with us though.  6 cruises so far and so far it's just been us two.
