Back again!  Avery and I are back from our second cruise on Symphony out of Bayonne.  Same itinerary as June, but this time we traveled with my sister, her guy, and my long time bestie, her hubs, and their son.  This trip we were assigned a Central Park balcony as I only had a neighborhood guarantee.  We had great placement close to the forward elevators on deck 11.

We stayed onboard in Port Canaveral (again), walked around doing a bit of shopping in Nassau, and took to our typical slides and pool in Cococay.  We had a bit of rain in Cococay, but got lucky as the seas were calm and travel to and from was clear.  It was a nice trip.

This marks the last hurrah before school starts back up.  Just a week and a half of sleeping in and chilling at home before we get back to it.  While we were gone I got the bus schedule.  We're excited to have the same bus number, I'm hoping it comes with the same driver.

Now that we're home and settled back in - I thought for sure the dog had caught the chipmunk, but it turned out that babies rabbits were instead left in our yard.  He got two of them.  When I heard the squeal of the third I managed to move him, but no clue if his Mom will find him.  The foster kittens all grew like crazy in my week away - especially Mercury!

The garden looks pretty sad.  Not much to be had to date, the chipmunk destroyed the rest of my beets, the cukes are wilting.  I pulled the carrots before the chipmunk went for them.  I have some potatoes still to harvest and finally a few pepper plants (from seed) are starting to bloom and grow fruit.  At least my basil is finally going crazy.
