one: Y'all know by now if you read my blog much, that both Bud and I really like NCIS [and NCIS New Orleans]. Well, we've collected, over the years, the DVDs for both; having ALL seasons for them in sets. We watch them off and on, and a few weeks ago, we watched a couple of programs from the 11th season of NCIS. It's been a while and I had completely forgotten one episode entitled "Homesick". The short synopsis: several children are sick and hospitalized throughout the Navy and NCIS is there with their forensic scientist, Abby, to find a cure for those youngsters. And in the hospital lies a very sick, young, little girl*. She is the main child in question of the mysterious illness...anyway, long ago, when we first watched it, I told Bud "That looks just like me!" "When I was her age." The past week or so, I've been sorting through old photographs; some of which I shared here recently. I came upon my photo to show Bud how closely the two of us [the girl in the hospital on NCIS and me] resemble each other. You take a gander and see if you don't agree with me, Bud, and now that I sent it off to my sister, she too was flabbergasted at the closeness in looks and some features!
two: Do We Look Alike?

four: Once again, Colorado [my 'home' state] got bomb-blasted with a Spring Snow and Ice storm this week!! Power outages and other weather related traumas like broken trees and downed power lines. Here's a texted image of my sister's yard on May 18th...
...I am thankful Bud and I don't have to contend with this. I'll take the humidity and gripe all I want...I know it was our choice to get away from stuff like the above.

five: I am definitely NOT naval jargon savvy! So, there is a supertanker supposedly coming into the Corpus Christi Ship Channel [at Port Aransas] to dock for the first time in its history at Ingleside, Texas. I wanna be there at the channel to watch it come in. Now, thing is, it's supposed to be here for a test run along the channel to see how everything goes on the 22nd of May....Monday. I was informed by the chamber of commerce in Ingleside that there is NO specific time frame ... it depends on tide and weather! Good grief. They're telling this novice in a round-about way that I need to read charts? Out to google I go! LOL What a riot...
Bud, being a Navy seaman long ago, told me that the ship will use 'high tide' to be able to make the run along the channel...the chart depicts high tide around NOON...that means I should be there anywhere from 7 am to infinity in my estimation! It's gonna be a long day. Just hope the weather is good on Monday
If this is successful testing, and all works well, Ingleside Texas will be the FIRST IN USA to have a supertanker dock area. Exciting.
Wish me luck...and hopefully if all goes according to plan, I just may get pictures.

Love Five Guys....burgers are never frozen, and those Idaho fries... Good luck with the super tanker!
ReplyDeleteOh yes....those fries! Yum.
DeleteThanks for the 'good luck' on the ship.
I think you two look identical! How spooky!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in with Five on Friday, have a fantastic weekend
Thanks for hosting.
DeleteYes, you are definitely twins with that young girl. And I saw that the season finale of NCIS was last night be I didn't watch it. I've kind of stopped watching much TV lately and have been much more involved with Netflix and books. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe haven't watched it yet...it has to be online.
DeleteI do not like the soggy rolls that Five Guys serves with their very good burger. Always soggy - I gave them several chances. Friends in CO love the recent snow! They didn't loose power, though. NCIS is a favorite show and you sure do resemble the little girl in that episode. The supertanker dock area IS an exciting possibility.
ReplyDeleteNo soggy buns at our 5 guys! Thank goodness!!
Deletesince my glass is always half empty, I see a supertanker as potential oil spills in our gulf.. that said I can't wait to see your photos of it and wear lots of sunscreen... we love five guys but eat Culvers more than the guys, we think they are about equal but guys is LOUD, really loud, music and it echos with voices of people eating and the guys screaming out orders. on pretty outside days we eat out on the side walk.. have never had smashburger, but I love almost all burgers except McDonalds which I just can't eat.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness our 5 Guys isn't loud. The music is soft, the patrons talk quietly...but they do call the order number...it doesn't bother me tho.
DeleteHi! You sure do look like the little girl in that picture.
ReplyDeleteWe'll enjoy seeing pictures of that super tanker. :) We're not missing the job at sea, but we did leave some great friends there. Fortunately, we stay in touch via my blog and Facebook.
Hi Lois...it's good to keep in touch.
DeleteAmazing resemblance! Summer started here in Finland -today- but before we got hails & snow on many occasions in May. Let's hope the summer artives to your 'home' Colorado as well!
ReplyDeleteIt will eventually, but summers are short in that state.
DeleteLeroy Jethro Gibbs! Excuse me while I go and swoon somewhere. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteAn interesting post! We used to watch NCIS religiously, but somewhere along the way, dropped off. We are avid Blacklist watchers. Yes, you looked exactly like that little girl (and were adorable!) So interesting about the Navy ship! Our friends in Colorado had insurance repaint their house due to hail damage! We had some damage while we were gone from home, just a little to two cars...and apparently now our deck will need to be restained! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not NAVY per sé, it's a petroleum tanker.
DeleteThanks Marie.
Maybe you are that actress and it's just slipped your memory!
ReplyDeleteLOL...my memory surely isn't what it used to be, that's for sure.
DeleteWow Anni, you look so much like the little girl. I don't know the different types of burgers you talk of! I'll look out for the tanker photos on Monday. Have a great weekend. Jo
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I will get ANY photos, but I hope I will. Keep your fingers crossed.
DeleteGood luck with the photo taking! My family loves Five Guys too. We don't tend to eat out a lot but that is one of their favourites. I think the peanuts help lol. I'm glad it's someone else having the snow and not us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Five on Friday
Bud likes gnawing on the peanuts too.
DeleteHello Anni, you do look like the little girl from NCIS. We like Five Guys too, but we try not to go there too often! It would be cool to see the ship arrive! Have a happy day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteYa, eating burgers there can be lethal! LOL...thanks, and have a great weekend yourself.
DeleteThat's pretty amazing how much you look alike. Ive had a five guys burger, they are really good.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, so good I kinda crave 'em every once in a while. But most times I stick to the 'healthier' turkey burger...grilled at home. lol
DeleteYou look sooo much alike - it's crazy!
ReplyDeleteI need to go to Five Guys again!
I heard about your weather. That's crazy too. :)
It's nearing 90 here, but very chilly where my sister is.
DeleteYa, let's BOTH go to five guys...I'll meet you there.
We had plenty of snow last winter and I still can see it in the MT and it fine there for now.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
I don't mind snow.....in pictures!!! lol
DeleteQuite the resemblance. You could be sisters or at least from the same country. (That's a dumb statement and supposed to be) I surmise you are
ReplyDeletealso having a heck of a lot of fun with with tanker landing. Hope you don't have to fight the crowds. The 5 guys with burgers never made it out our way.
I'm sure there are 'burger joints' that are just as good somewhere close by you.
DeleteI wish you luck on those pictures Anni. You are a doppelgänger of that young girl in the NCIS episode. 5-Guys is our favorite cheeseburger by far. And the fries are the best too but try to limit our visits. I guess the skiers in Colorado love that snow. Thanks for visiting me. You asked a question about Today's Flowers. I closed it after I got sick a few month's back. I had asked if anyone would like to replace me as host but there were no takers, and as I was finding it a bit overwhelming I decided to quietly close the meme.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, okay Denise, thanks for updating me on the meme. I was wondering about it for some time.
DeleteHope you're doing well by now.
Hope they keep that white stuff over in Colorado. Yikes! Hope you don't have to wait too long on Monday to see the super tanker.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, I can't agree more...keep that white stuff where I'm not! lol
DeleteCan't believe there's still snow about. Your pictures are lovely and you look so like that girl - uncanny.
ReplyDeleteThat tide chart looks really complicated - a big ship like that will need a lot of water.
Well, there is lots of water to be sure....just reading the tide chart had me scratching my head!! lol
DeleteGreat post Annie! Yes, that little girl favors the little girl in you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam
DeleteYes there's definitely a strong likeness. I can't say I watch it but my parents seem to. Happy site seeing with the ships. Have a good week, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteThanks...& have a great week ahead yourself, Cathy.
DeleteOh, I do hope you have good look and don't have to stay there till doomsday.
ReplyDeleteAs for the pics, I would have sworn they were one and the same girl if you had not told otherwise.
Thanks I hope I don't miss it coming in.
