Year 3 Day 169 – “Living the Dream”. Wednesday, 10/18/2023. Lovely sunny day. The rafters are moving along. Yikes this house looks so big. I think it is because of the garage. This will be the largest two car garage we have ever had. I think the views from the kitchen/dining area are going to be even more awesome than the Williamsburg.
The empty cardboard boxes we collect are incredible. They just keep piling up and it is a constant task of cutting them up and taking them to recycling. This is part of the new stay at home and shop. Saving the energy by not driving so much but gathering so much packing materials to recycle. It is amazing the size of some of the boxes and the size of the merchandise that was shipped in them. Seems very wasteful.
Pondering thought of the day!
Today’s product recommendations are cruising essentials (paid links): 1) It is so nice not to have to worry about stapling your luggage tags to your luggage handles and to have them rip off. We have these plastic holders on our luggage and love them. We use them for Royal Caribbean cruises and also fold the MSC tags to fit in them when we travel with MSC cruise lines.

Here’s a link to it: https://amzn.to/3EO2Y4F 4) Packing cubes – I can’t say enough about them. I would never go on vacation without them again. Here’s a link: https://amzn.to/3Rxx8AA 5) You have to have a small purse for getting off at ports or for carrying a few things with you around the ship. Great for when you have no pockets to carry the cell phone. This one is beautiful. Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/3ETJNpS 6) Room Thermometer- I leave one of these packed in my bag. The temperature fluctuates so much, and I like to try and keep my room at a stable temperature. This keeps me honest with myself. Here’s a link: https://amzn.to/46tNoXH
