And he will look lovely in it.
You would think the wife of a communications professor would learn to proofread before hitting post.

View attachment 366983 haha, but yeah, View attachment 366984, again,- that goes for all the homies, holiday week-end for ya or not.![]()
Well, a very dark, and moist feeling start. But yay, seems like many are having an XL week-end, or at least having a later start. Not me, but hey, much appreciate the low traffic. And, since it's Monday, more rain to come. It's been a very rainy month. Seems to be a trend for the fall, I am hoping that does not mean routine snow. Stay away, stay away. I am liking this 40 degree start.
And a haha, after feeling the quite brisk well below freezing Thursday, Friday, and into Saturday, the lovely low, pushed the temps in Sunday to 58, and all were in shorts, and most lost their jackets. Glorious most of yesterday, as sun was seen for most of the day. Then by dinner time, the clouds have come. No beautiful black, star and moon lighted sky. Just a gray and more gray sky to greet the sunrise, still almost 1/2 hour away.
And this new start of the week means Schumi will be enjoying the warm and sun shortly. Safe travels and so enjoy reading your trip reports. Your trip reports have fabulous pictures and commentary.
With that, sweater on, as you never know if the heat pump is working after a week-end. No matter though, usually by lunch time, the heat pump is working overload. Good thing we have ice. Once in awhile, the tea becomes iced tea. Not sure today, but tea will be drank all day, Yep, one of those days.
Cute cats Robo, hope you had a good night sleep, and will be enjoying some hot coffee in that great HHN mug.
Marvelously fine Monday to all the homies!
Good morning Sans familyl...Happy Monday I hope
...It was nice having a long weekend and Brian had it too. Liv survived her Black Friday weekend. However, by last night she was done
. It was nice though Target provided meals for them Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There was some really good restaurant take out food. I thought that was great. When I worked in retail years ago we didn't have that.
It was funny I was taking Liv and Guin to school this morning and an 80's song came on. Of course the teens know it is my favorite. We got on the subject of boom boxes and I told them I use to walk the streets with my boom box on my shoulder, I thought they were going to pee their pants they were laughing so hard. It appears the thought of me doing that was too much for them.
Anyway the weather warmed up nicely yesterday and will be like that today also. Brian put up our out door lights and it does look pretty. We will try and get a tree in a couple of weeks. I am not sure if it will survive thebut will try it.
Schumi We enjoy Indian food here too. We have found a nice reasonably priced buffet about 15 minutes from my house. Sounds like you enjoyed your decorations and they sound lovely. Coming up to the final countdown to warmth and sunshine. I hope your weather improves before you leave.
Charade We haven't been back to Bush Gardens in about 5 years. We really enjoyed it though and thought it was one of the prettiest theme parks we have been too. I enjoyed your pics. It looks nice decorated for the holidays. Sorry about the cold weather for the rides. I hear you on riding in the cold. We rode Nitro at SF Great Adventure a couple of years ago. It was about 32 degreesand we had icicles on our face. It was horrible for me and Brian but the teens didn't mind it. I am done with that cold and rides
. I am glad that you had a nice trip without the rides. The wolf encounter sounds awesome!
PrincessWithABlaster I am glad that you had a nice trip I saw your thread and will take a look after. We still haven't eaten at Mythos yet, one of these days! Hope the snow stays away
Robo I only wish my cats looked like that... Thanks for the nice pic. I hope you are staying warm and feeling good.
Lynne your homemade Chicken Parm sounds good. Nothing like a house smelling of great foodI hope for all of us who don't like the snow and cold we can drink those cold beverages over hot ones.
LOl! I enjoy your meme I just bought my dining passes today! That dang Cyber Moneday
Well I hope all the rest of the family is happy and healthy and enjoying good weather. I hope everyone has a great Monday!
Good morning everyone. It's a gray, rainy day here today. I wish I could just stay home with a book or classic movie. I'm going into work late today. One therapist is taking the day off and the other doesn't have a client until 11:00.
Thanks. I didn't mind not riding the rides. I don't ride coasters anyway. We were going to do an indoor ride, but the wait time was an hour.
I'm impressed that you know the Packers. I couldn't name a single UK team in any sport. My husband has football on all the time. There was a game the other night that went into 7 overtime periods. I fell asleep before it was over.
I completely agree with you here. I dreamed last night that was had an unexpected snow storm. No, no, no!
Congrats to Liv on surviving her first Black Friday weekend. I hated working Black Friday when I was in retail. Nice that Target fed their employees. I didn't get that when I worked for JC Penney.
I have time to kill before going to work. I should go do some more shopping, but really don't want to go back outside. I bought dh a French press for his birthday, but realized that I should also get him a coffee grinder too. I'm also trying to come up with an idea for one of my friends. I tried to get her husband to give me some gift ideas, but he wasn't any help.
Happy Monday all!! Back to the real world for me- rain, cold, dreary!! But, we had a wonderful time in Ft. Lauderdale! My mom so enjoyed the weather and especially visiting with the kids!!
We visited Flamingo Gardens Saturday! It's a botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary! It was a stunning day and we loved taking in all the foliage and meeting all the animals!!
This guy- and many other peacocks- were walking around freely!

We're going at the same time patty. . .. hope to see you there.We all do it! Some of the texts I send Joe are hilarious!!
Can't wait to hear about the holiday events. We'll be there 12/13-12/17! We've never seen Universal at Christmas time before!! I'll look forward to all of your tips!!
So jealous of the December trips. We enjoyed the Dark Side all made up for the holidays.
Safe travels Schumi, the 3 of you. Great time to visit before the crowds.
We're going at the same time patty. . .. hope to see you there.
Had a busy weekend at work and yes, they fed us Chic-fil-A for lunch on Black Friday as they do every year. We even got a cookie for dessert
I spent today doing laundryand cleaning off the latest mess puppy Jack made
the good news is there's nothing left for him to tear up. He's a good dog but he wasn't trained correctly...he's learning now.
Carole...only a few days to go...hope you have a wonderful trip.
I ordered Danielle's ticket from Undercover Tourist today so she's all set to upgrade to an AP later if she wants.
Guess I'll go check out the other Cyber Monday sales before they expire.
Have a great night everyone![]()
We'll be there Dec. 11-19, staying at RPR.

Dropping by to wish all the homies a fabulous thanksgiving with family and friends today!
Enjoy this time with your loved ones.
We are taking a pass on it as I have not been moving around much
My bp now is improving and now up to 99/59
I’m all caught up on all law and order reruns which is was a fun thing for me
I’m very lucky weatherwise as it should be 60 today
For those with snow and cold I know how awful that weather can be at this time if the year with snow and low temps
When you “pull” the wishbone today, hope you win!

Chilly day today. Will be cold tonight when the sun goes down.
lol......I couldn't name a cricket team either!!! Never watch it, actually not interested in football either in this house.....although DS quite like football. But most sports bore us to tears.....except motor racing in most forms...…..
Yes, Capt Jack is irreplaceable...….hope they don't even try!!! He is so funny!!
About to watch the F1 Grand Prix from Abu Dhabi...……
It is cold, grey and rainy outside, so having a day at home today......catching up with laundry and some little bits and bobs to the trees and decorations...….
Have a great Sunday...….…………..

That is some ugly animals you found there Lynne!!! lol...….although the top right one is cute!!! Hairless cats...….rats!!!!
I`ve actually had a Bavarian Cream Pie in Bavaria...….many years ago now......delicious, and it was served with a homemade and very potent Kirsch...….we had two!!!!That was back in the day when I could actually eat something so sweet and not regret it!!!
Hope you feel better soon Lynne and it doesn't develop into something worse......colds are dreadful......still you have sunshine.....glad for that!!
So, strange start to the day.....some of our electrics downstairs were out today when we got up....and worse.....no internet!!!!! Mainly lamps in sitting room and lamps in the hallway......
Called the guy who does all our building and joinery work to see who he uses and he managed to get his local sparky to come out and sort the issue......he did thankfully...….always something just before the trip it seems......lol...…
Thank goodness we still had heating as it is freezing outside today again...….3.5C. Which is 36F. Ruddy cold.....also grey dark and miserable...….I hate the cold!!!!
Wanted to thank everyone for the safe travel messages...…..we are so looking forward to spending some proper family time, just the three of us with no distractions of day to day things like DS going to work ......lol.....bless him...….
We leave tomorrow morning for the drive up to our airport hotel and hope the weather front coming in isn't too bad......looks nasty!!! And of course fly Thursday...…...
Will no doubt pop in, but won`t be posting pictures in the trip report till I get home.....far too busy having fun for that......that`ll keep me busy in the dark nights to follow...….
Hope you`re all ok......see you soon...….![]()
Thanks. This friend is one of those people who usually gets what she wants when she wants it, so it’s hard to come up with something she doesn’t already have. She is a graduate of Virginia Tech and loves getting stuff with her school on it. I found a Virginia Tech coloring book that I think will be funny. I just need to find something a little more practical to go along with it.Good luck with the gift search......it can be difficult........most of my friends are so easy to buy for......but we have two that I never know what to get them.......but I do love shopping for them as it’s all nice and cutsie things like Yankee Candle accessories, Bath and Body products and other niceties........just bag up a mixture of everything and they’re happy........others have to have more thought.
I’m just glad I didn’t accidentally post profanity. I did that once on my Facebook page. I meant to type that I needed to SHUT my computer down, but.....I would worry about spelling mistakes........I have an English Literature degree as well as an Engineering degree and I make spelling mistakes.........it’s a message board......nothing worse than when folks especially those on the CB point out errors in posts.......who cares.........
My worst are when I try to do talk to text.We all do it! Some of the texts I send Joe are hilarious!!![]()
Me too. I want to go back again, but will just have to be patient.So jealous of the December trips. We enjoyed the Dark Side all made up for the holidays
Hope you feel better soon.and phew phew, go away sore throat. Nothing like sharing sickness with the family. DH, then little one, then older one, and now me. Today, lots of drugs. Trying to stop it before it becomes a cold. That, and lots of tea. Was a very damp and cool feeling 40 to start the day. Rivers of water were the ride home. Lots of clogged drains from all the leaves in the street. But hey, sun glasses will be needed today, winner, winner, chicken dinner.
When I first moved to Florida I had people try to convince me that houses in FL didn’t have heat.They were surprised when I later told them that yes, we actually had to turn on our heat a few times during the year. Even in Miami.Schumi! We are having a cold snap right now & will actually have to turn the heat on tonight.
He’s adorable.My baby is two today![]()
I’m pretty sure Colonial WIlliamsburg still decorates for Christmas. We’ve only gone to Busch Gardens for Christmas. Never into the historic parts of town. I try to avoid BG in the summertime. I don’t do well with the heat and humidity. The last time we went was at the end of May and it wasn’t too bad.Does williamsburg still decorate for Xmas holidays? Never made it down there that season. VA’s BG not my favorite just too many hills and the summertime humidity there is brutal, worse than MCO at times.
I tend to disappear when my plate is full. Don’t seem to be able to just spend 15 minutes poking about, look at the clock and an hour has disappeared!
My baby is two todayView attachment 367231 yes, he did get goodies
Driving by to say hey yinz guys before getting ready to depart (OMG i’m Going to see & feel the warm sun on my face again! End of november and it already feels like a long enough winter)
Get up and move round every hour for few minutes, will get the blood circulating and the BP out of resting mode, it will increase/regulate. Hope you get everything sorted out sooner vs later!
Lynne: congrats to your DD, nice to have an early fall-back in your pocket. Taco Tuesday pics are always funny as heck. I am absolutely not a taco or Mexican food gal. New Taco Bell opened nearby, was out with DS on Sunday picking up some online orders & the Target next door, just had to check it out. I ate half a dorito taco and handed it over to him. I still say there is no way that is ‘real’ meat. Yuck

Ah, Captain Jackhe never gets old
Hahahaha you know you were a big dog if you had a rockin’ boom box. Even cooler if you could afford to replace those D batteries when they ran out
Great picture of the family!
I swear apple has upped their game or just messing with us. All of a sudden autocorrect is on steriods.
Safe travels!
Good evening. I started to write a post a couple of hours ago and fell asleep.
My Christmas shopping online orders are starting to arrive. Dh’s French “dress” arrived today. I just need to find a place to put it where he won’t find it. I’ll probably buy the coffee grinder sometime this weekend.

I thought of you the other day when I was in the Yankee Candle outlet store. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay too long because it was too crowded.

Tonight B got a voicemail message from the admissions department at Florida State University. This shows why it is so important to speak clearly when leaving a message. I couldn’t stop laughing when I read it.

Going to try to get back to sleep now.
Safe travels Schumi and Keisha. Wishing you both lots of sun and heat. Charade, glad you got DH's present already, and getting the rest this weekend. Yeah, we have some funny phone messages too. Very cute pup, Keisha. I bet he gets treats on a daily basis. Love his face, and beautiful white coat.
With that, you know a. it's dark and cool start, and b. when I opened the door, all I could hear was the wind. Yep, a 36 degree start, with 40 to 50 mph winds. When I parked, the flag was almost straight out. It's that windy, with wind chills feel like temp in the low 20's. Bundle up, and hold on to that hat. Bad hair day alert.
But woot! woot Even with some flying out today, it's Wednesday. Hump Day is here. Well, hello camel. View attachment 367271 and wave, Keisha and Schumi, if you see these camels: View attachment 367272 or this one: View attachment 367273 aw heck, how about a whole zoo? View attachment 367274. Hehe.
With that, more drugs and tea. Thank you for the well wishes. Sore throats and colds are making their rounds. When the weather gets cold, all are inside.
Wonderful Wednesday to you all.
Hope Robo, Mac, and Wendy are all doing well. Hope you homies get the mummy dust send with well wishes.
Later homies. Be good.
Happy Wednesday!
Lynne- hope the meds kick in soon!!
Safe travels Schumi & Keisha!!
Snow storm here today!! South of Buffalo got hit with a foot! I woke up to about 3 inches and it's still falling! Slow go this morning- but the snow plows are out in full force removing snow and salting so the roads are in good condition. Seems like a lifetime ago since we were in Ft. Lauderdale with the sun!15 more days until Orlando though!
