At Sea

A quiet day on board.  We only had about five people in Knitters and Stitchers.  Unfortunately, we lost one of our members yesterday because her husband was having problems and they had to leave.

Lunch in the Lido and then afternoon trivia in which we did horribly with only 8 out of 19.  The winners had 13.

1) What does a pedologist study?

2) What was the first theme part in Florida, opening in 1936?

3) Which country’s flag has a red background with one five-pointed yellow star?

4) What was the first Japanese automaker to mass market a hybrid car?

5) Who was the first athlete on a Wheaties box?

Arts and Crafts was just for completing unfinished projects and having a group picture taken.

I then changed and went to the deck 9 pool.  I swam half my normal laps and sat in the sun for about an hour.

We did a little better in evening trivia with 13 out of 19 but the winners had 16.

1) What four-legged friend debuted on Roy Rogers movie “Spoilers on the Plain”?

2) Who shoved a grapefruit in May Clark’s face in a classic movie?

3) In what year did the maple leaf flag become the official one for Canada?

4) In 1963 James W. Whittaker became the first American to do what?

5) What was the one word nickname for entertainer Bill Robinson?

Six of us present for dinner.  I had a fruit salad, Caesar salad, Beef Bourguignon, and a cherry Pavlova.  I ran off a couple of knitting patterns for Pat after dinner and skipped the show.

The melon carvers have been busy again in the Lido
