Here's a little something my friend, Margie, taught me to make last year. In case you didn't bookmark it, here you go...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPB8TqO7tia4yaHxjIidsFLZewBtTxwBuu-NOcmbveTl_omvGJKCM4tztm_eBfHBZXJGcbvIycKFqJO1_hAXJoYnMq6N0Xw-nTwmBPnfYDOyvVIIqLrAAU2uAoljPBrmueg9FLmQdnyzM/s400/IMG_3199.jpg)
We used her steamer to flatten the cones.
Once inside, put the lid on, and wait for a minute and a half.

Next, fill with fun Fall-colored candy.
Last... wrap in plastic wrap, add ribbon and card. ENJOY!!
The big day is almost here. Is everyone at your house getting excited? We altered a little "Goddess" costume over here last night. : )
Happy Fall,
Mary Lou

Below, the big screen on the main deck. A couple of nights we watched movies out there. It was just like going to a drive-in. They were great comedies...so fun!!
First Port-Stop...Boston.

This photograph (below) is from the last time we were in Boston, visiting my brother and his family. We came a little too early in the season to see leaves like this, this time.
Goodbye Boston!
Next Port...Maine.

Third Port...St. John, N.B., Canada
Our Tour Guide, all decked out. : )
Charming Canadian Market.
I got a kick out of this T-shirt, below.
I bought "Sebastian" at this stop.

Each night when you come back to your room, while on a Cruise, you will find a different "towel animal" there. This was my favorite.
