My friend e-mailed me some pics from our cruise - thought I would share them while I wait for some blogging inspiration to strike.
I knew someone had to have one of these - Chef’s Night.
My cousin R - King of the Sarcastic Pose
Everyone’s favourite place to be.
Knitting in a lounge - the pathetic look on [...]

After losing Trivia again.
Yep - I was knitting in the bar.
So cozy.
The big Chef’s night - which included singing, dancing and juggling waiters as well.
Not all of us could wear our hats so well.
Our last port of call: Ketchikan. The salmon were running.
Dolly’s House.
Here’s an interior shot of my favourite bookstore. This chair is conveniently [...]

The famed Whitepass Railway.
The Volendam.
Can you even believe there is finally a picture of Passin’ the Dress Code?
The pesky hem kept rolling above the elbows! Something to be said for blocking I suppose.
Here are some of the towel ‘pets’ that would greet us after dinner.
I loved the little paper eyes they used. So cute. There [...]

I am going to post about my holiday in segments…or it just might be too picture heavy to digest!
We had a fantastic time. It was the most relaxing holiday to date. I swear, nothing beats napping in your Inside Cabin - it is virtually lightless and sooo quiet.
Look who I had to sail away from [...]

Hello everyone!
I am having such a fabulous time aboard the Volendam. It is lvoely to be so spolied and relax and relax.
I finally finished Nagini yesterday - can you believe it? Neither can I. I cast on for Bellatrix last night and I am loving this pattern. The yarn is so lush too. Mmmmm. I [...]

and I will be on my ship. Ahhhhh.
In the meanwhile I am working for the 4th time on Nagini - the b*stard sock from h*ll. It finally fits properly and now I have to stop myself from changing it into an ankle sock to just be finished with the blasted thing already.
I have packed Bellatrix, [...]

ALASKA!
We will be setting sail for Alaska in few weeks - aboard Holland America!
This is a trip we have made before, and No: It does not get boring. Cruising to Alaska is ideal because some of our group don’t enjoy hot weather, we have the bonus of leaving from, and returning to, the port of Vancouver. [...]

(This is a picture heavy post — mostly for the 5 family members who didn’t make it to the party this year)
Growing up our parents threw an annual event we dubbed the “Kid’s Party”. It was an all day event of hedonistic proportions that we loved. Our Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and parents bought each of us a [...]

Last Friday we took our kids to PlayLand. Whoo, way less crowds than when the PNE is on. Way less rides, booths and food too — but not to worry, there was still overindulgence in Fair staples, such as Elephant Ears, mini-doughnuts and fudge. The kind that seriously endangers next week’s WLC Weigh In.
My group [...]

Where to begin? Perhaps the beginning.
We had a beautiful crossing to the Island - with lots of time to knit. Ever leaving things to the last minute, here I am beginning the sleeves for my Pullover en route. Knitting in the car led to meeting a fellow knitter on her way from Kelowna to see [...]
