Alaska Bound...again

It won't be long until Veronica and I are on our way to Alaska again.
We will be flying into Seattle and then taking a bus to Vancouver, BC.
We will be spending the night in Vancouver and then going to the pier the following morning to board the NCL Pearl.
This is the same ship that we were on last year, when we went on our very 1st cruise.
We are both looking forward to this trip. This year we will be spending less time taking excursions and more time in each port town/city.
I am sure that I will find tons to take photographs of.

What A Nice Day

Today is a nice day. A lot nicer than it was a couple of days ago when it did nothing but rain and get windy.
From what I have read, for the next week or two, there is no rain forecasted and the temps will be in the mid to high 60s, with the possibilities of getting to 70 degrees.
Took advantage of the nice weather and went for a couple of nice long walks.
Veronica and I had seen several deer run across the grass, about 10 feet away from our back townhouse window.
The last time we had gone to Walmart, we purchased a big bag of dried corn...the type you feed to livestock.
I threw a bunch of corn out back a couple of days ago but had not seen anything to indicate that the deer had come by to visit and eat.
Well today I looked out and all of the corn was gone and you could see the hoof prints of the deer everywhere.
Unfortunately the deer came either late at night or after we had gone to bed because we did not get the chance to see them.
So this morning I put more corn out in hopes that the deer would return and I would have a chance to photograph them from our computer room window.
Let the cat and mouse games begin.

A Lazy Rainy Day

Woke up this morning to some heavy rain coming down outside.
It's going to be one of those lazy rainy days.
I think that I will catch up on some programs that I missed over the last couple of days.
With our cable package, we went ahead and got a DVR. We end up missing so many of our shows during any given time and we thought it would be great to be able to tape them and watch them when we had a better opportunity. This DVR has 2 tuners built into it so that we can tape 2 shows at one time but if both shows are being taped at the exact same time, we can't watch tv on the set in our bedroom...where the DVR is set up. At least we can still watch tv on our other sets.
I like the DVR system much better than the old VCR setup that we used to deal with when trying to record shows. Modern technology is a good thing. Too bad it took us so long to catch up to what a lot of people have already been enjoying for quite some time.
