Something About Nothing..........#11

[macraven]

I want to go back and give the Universal parks another go. I feel like we didn't do them justice in March

Sadly we'll have no time in November. Oh well. Hopefully May 2017!

i know sometimes when a person first visits the darkside, they don't feel the love for it right away.
i think that it is wonderful sparkly that you would like to try them again and not just write them off as a never go back to place.

March is a tough time to go to the darkside as a first time visitor.
you have crowds and iffy weather some years in that time period.

i hope you have a fun, entertaining and a delightful time the next time you can go back.

if you go in May 2017, the earlier in the month, the better.
less crowds.
or it has been lighter this year than last for early to mid May.

wish i had a crystal ball to tell others what the best time of the year to go.

So sorry to hear the news Mac. Group hug for your family.

Hi everyone! Happy Summer!! Kiddies are finally out of school and my endless sea of volunteering has ended! I missed birthdays, cute kiddies and lots of things to congratulate!!

Hey Cielei.........nice to see ya back.........hope you have a great summer in front of you...........power washing and staining fences sounds like not much fun.......I'll take a pass unless I can supervise of course...........

if you feed me i will come.

i prefer my hot dogs chicago style, that means no ketchup.....

I saw what you did there..........
Not a hot dog fan at all........but I do love ribs.............



Can't have us falling down the page again...........

Monday morning again. Sun is shining but it's cool........supposed to be doing my Monday morning housework jobs just now.......nothing that can't be put off till tomorrow. Going to do some baking. Much nicer.

It wasn't our first jaunt to the Darkside- we've been several times before! (I remember very clearly the Jimmy Neutron ride where Despicable Me is now!!)

Mac, - prayers for your family.

Sunny start to what is to be a rainy day.

Great week-end, and last full week of school. Summer soccer starts today, so summer is coming soon. Ah, nicer weather I hope. We tend to be hot and humid in summer.

We started the grill last night. Steak was good. Time for burgers and hot dogs.

Hope all have a good Monday.

 

[macraven]

we finally are going to have warm days this week.
i cook on the grill outside in all temps.
i think that is a fierce kitty in lynne post.
oh, yes it is and that is monday's poster child.......lol

now i remember you
you live in the UK and go with your parents to the states.
i think you posted before that you were born in the mid 1990's so that would make you 20 or 21.

hope you and the family get to return to the darkside sometime in the future.

DE was a great replacement for that ride!

Yeah, Despicable Me is way better then it's predecessor. They've made it a lot smoother too so it's more enjoyable then when it was new and kept throwing me back against the seat!

 

[macraven]

i can always tell when it is monday.

our regular homies here are back to work.

Ok all this grilling talk is making me want to grill..........well.....DH does the grilling.........I just do the prep, setting out dishes, making marinades, chopping salad and sides........but DH still prides himself on being the cook for the night.........I don't burst his bubble........he is very good actually.........

Supposed to be warmer Wednesday so maybe plan a BBQ then......or wait till weekend.......

Yes Mac.......Monday......but as you reminded us last week.........being a housewife every day is like Saturday........so today I had a lovely baking day........pound cake or Madeira cake as we call it........flourless choc cake for DS and cherry scones.........lush!!!

Off for a walk on the beach soon with DH as it is a nice night.........will try not to stop off at village pub for cheeky glass of red.........

Remember the fantastic world of Hanna Barbera?

Remember the fantastic world of Hanna Barbera?

yes i do and i loved it.

i have enjoyed all the rides that have been in that building.
when my boys were littles, they would get tossed around a bit when those rides would move.
they were short and loved being moved around going towards that drop down bar on the lap and then back to the padded back seat.

probably what still happens to sparkly as she has posted before she isn't even 5 feet tall.
short peeps get more movement in some of the rides.

[macraven]

[Sparkly]

Remember the fantastic world of Hanna Barbera?

That one was before we even started going to Florida! I believe Jimmy Neutron was fairly new on our first visit!

Lol.........ok it's a date..........hope meat is ok for everyone......and lots of it.....to steal Gina's word........meatatarians only..........

 

[schumigirl]

Ok.......off out now for a healthy walk on the beach or I'll sit here all night...........

 

[Lynne G]

Lucky you Schumi - I would like to stroll the beach now.

And yes, we are meat lovers too. Even picky DD will eat steak. Filet is her choice.

Getting excited about October. Mac, are we going to start a who's going in October list? Maybe it will be the blondes meet up at some point.

It's been that kinda day.

Did someone say bbq?...I'm on my way

I received an e-mail from SW this morning it said they had changed my return flight from 6:35 pm to 7:45 am and from a nonstop to connecting flight. I promptly got on the phone and after being on hold for 20 minutes changed it to an 8:45 pm which arrives at 10:20 ...later than I wanted but at least we have more time in Orlando instead of less. Good news is I got a $36 flight credit...now to plan another trip so I can use it

Hot, hot and did I say hot here in GA...temp reached 91 yesterday...a walk on Carole's beach sounds lovely.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week
