Last night we had a wonderful dinner in Prime 7 for Peggy’s birthday. It started with Ken spilling his water and it was like the Okavango Delta flooding in Botswana. It slowly advanced all around the table and by the time the dinner finished it has managed to get the entire table wet. One thing for sure we knew our glasses and plates would not move as in rough seas the ship wets down the tables as it helps the china and glassware to stay put. It became quite a joke really we would not have traded our advancing water for anything.

We saw the cutting up a porterhouse steak on the prime rib station. I have not noticed this order before but they cook the entire porterhouse on the bone that is 32 ounces and then take the meat off the bone and slice it for two people. So we ordered one for the center of the table to share and it was super. Something I have never noticed before.

We finished this meal up with Jerry and Jim using shipboard credit to have a Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac at $125 per glass. Ken was going to take some pictures but his flash would not work so he used Pat’s camera to take a group shot. Pat took some pictures also and Ken will post these later today. Marc you were discussed and we wished you were with us on this special occasion.

Years ago I bought a silver pendant that is a special process done with silver thread in Trabzon. It is in the shape of a pyramid many of you may have seen it. Well one of my favorite people wanted one just like it. So we took the shuttle bus into town and we were on a mission. I was afraid that they price would have gone up considerably. At first we could not find this shape and then we went into another store and he had these pendants. What was remarkable is the price was EXACTLY the same as it had been years before.
So I bought the one for my friend and then one for my daughter and daughter in law. Plus a new shape for me and got my old one cleaned. Felt very pleased that this all turned out so well.

Okay that is it for now it is lunchtime and that is VERY important.
