Something About Nothing ... #12

[Sue M]

Safe travels tomorrow Monykalyn Family!

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels MonyK. See the Blues needed that overtime to tie the series. Older one had game on. We are still hockey fans, even though no black and orange seen in post season lately.

Storm last night, created flooding of some streets and down trees blocking roads this morning. As with Keisha, another line of severe thunderstorms will arrive around dinner time. May all cross toes and fingers that prom pictures happen and kids gets off before the rain.

And Thirsty Thursday is here. And oh so muggy at 6 am, car said 68. Ick. Then off at lunchtime no walk for me, Flower pick up, then pick up little one, face and hair appointments, then back home to get ready. Busy day for me. Will stop on my way to get little one for iced coffee. I will certainly need that caffeine.

So,

Yep, to all:

And remember:




Ah yes, so looking forward to the weekend.

With that. A bit of tea. Have a totally great Thursday, have fun MonyK, Patty, next weekend’s quick trip sounds lovely, Schumi’s driveway should be getting done, quite awesome, and Sue, you sound busy too, hope your daughter’s court goes well for her, Pumpkin, hope all is well, and that goes for Mac, Charade, Robo,Tink, Keisha, Buckeev, and every other homie I have not listed.

[PoohIsHome]

Is there really any point to Thursday other than it's one day closer to Friday?

Morning, homies! Graduation last night in our little small town....a class of 40 kids. Yes, you read that right....4-0. Our last day of school here is on the 4th. With graduation having been last night for the Class of '19, Corey says he's now a Senior but I'm going into it kicking and screaming. His last day of school is the 4th and I say he's still a Junior! LOL!

Another day of record heat here. It's too early for this mess! Hopefully the Midwest will see some relief and calm from the storms today...they sure need it!

Have a great day, everyone....it's almost Friday!

 

[pattyw]

[keishashadow]

It’s raining, it’s pouring, wish I were snoring. Stayed up to watch dem blues edge one out, yea!

On 2nd cuppa, need another. Didn’t take my normal am nappie after driving son to work. Southwest release day tends to be between 6 & 7 Crickets. Website message as to release date is still the same, today. They are on 2nd strike for me in less than a month. Can’t blame everything on Boeing.

Stir fry chicken here today, easy peasy

Monyk - sounds like a great trip, enjoy

Keishashadow what do you mean I’m excluded! Ha. Everyone knows Canada summer sport is BBQ & drinking beer on the patio

Lol is that before or after you wrestle a moose?

Good camel day to all
Closer to the weekend!!

Well, you’re half right.

Another doc appt Friday
Hope I win the lottery on it

Hedge your bets.
Was behind someone in lottery line recently, they were taking forever on the various options. Lastly, she decided to play the daily lottery, triple 7’s, and wanted to box it.

 

[Sue M]

Mac hope your doc appt goes well tomorrow.

It’s only 6am, ugh. Dogs woke me up at 5:00 and couldn’t get back to sleep.

It’s a bit overcast this morning. Watching early news, some may be due to the forest fire from Alberta. Nothing much on the agenda today except dinner out with girlfriends. They’re taking me out for my birthday to my fav Italian place.

Lynne good luck today!

Keishashadow after moose wrestling of course!

 

[schumigirl]

Safe travels Monyk…...have a wonderful trip.....look forward to hearing all about it...….one of my friends goes to Cuba every summer and loves it.....have fun!!!!


What a day!!!!!

Drive is moving along, but such a mess today......most of it down the far end of the drive, but tomorrow will be nearer the house.....but to be fair they are clearing up as they go along and doing a fabulous job......will be finished while I`m away I think.

They are enjoying many, many mugs of tea and biscuits and bottles of water as it`s been hot this morning...….keeps them happy......nice guys actually and hard workers, so I don't mind keeping them supplied with drinks and such.

But.....why does everyone want you at the one time???? Just been one of those days......had to upset one friend and postpone another.....but they`ll survive.....

So, my plans of doing another two posts on trip report are out of the window today.......but, have put some chicken thighs in the slow cooker with a mix of stuff for dinner.....quick and easy......

Hope your Thursday is a good one...….

 

[Monykalyn]

We made it! Early call to airport as Flight was at 7:30. And we too had to stay up to see Blues win- DH wailed (when ended in a tie in regulation) “we are supposed to be sleeping now”!

We're only a short distance a way!! Need a ride to the airport??? Would love to see you guys!!!

we will have a rental but if you have time and a suggestion we do have time to kill..appreciate the sweet offer!

Worn out, debating on goin down to pool for a while, or even just get energy to get some ice for a drink- of course we stopped at ABC Liquors...lady asked if we have a loyalty card- no but I really should! Even dd asked if we are still “tourists” as it’s literally “coming home”.

Went to Peach Valley cafe for lunch. Delicious and the apple fritters-omg. Hot fresh and yummy. Then Publix for some water and snacks.

Pooh I’m still trying to wrap my head around my middle dd is a senior now!

May take nap first...parks later

 

[Robo56]

Good afternoon Sans family

And prom alert: Little one's prom is now two days away.

Lynne congratulations to your daughter....hope she has a great time at her prom.

And yes, most of what I post I take directly from my phone, I don't load it to a host site first. Been doing that even with the old DIS.

I do that too. I always post from my phone. Pictures are great with the iPhone 10x max.

The teens were playing on the wii and Brian and I started looking at areas to look at in Florida. It is a lot of work trying to narrow down some places. There is so much to look at. I am at 10 to look at

Good luck to you bobbie68 on the home search in Florida.

Just got off phone with Alysa- she just found out hat the seismology research she is doing in New Mexico and Alaska this summer will be presented at a conference in San Francisco in December- so she’s excited about going to Cali and stressed that it’s the week before finals lol.

Congratulations to your daughter monyk...what a honor to be asked to present her paper at the conference in San Francisco.

Eek, such an early flight, Robo. Safe travels, and so happy you and grandson had a great time.

Thanks Lynne, we had a uneventful flight.

Callie Grace busted out of ICU yesterday!

Great news on Callie Grace.

hope the flight is smooth and uneventful. May end up on an early am flight home after HHN-haven't quite decided on return flights yet...hoping later ones come down a bit.

Flight was very smooth...we had a female pilot this time and she did a fabulous job.

Have safe flight and a wonderful trip with the family....you deserve it.

Today I am going to meet one of my younger cousin's for lunch. We haven't spoken in many years, not sure why. Her mother and my mother were sisters. Both died of cancer so we have that in common plus a few other things. I hope it goes well. Lunch over Panera should be good.

Hope your lunch goes well bobbie68.

Robo I am so glad you had a great trip with your grandson. Yuk early flights. I use to them but now I have trouble. I like a little more time in the morning. I hope you have a safe flight home!!

Yep, I like a bit more time too, but we didn’t have much options to choose from.

Worst part of vacation - having to go home.

I’am looking forward to HHN. It made it easier knowing I will be back in September.

Robo thanks for the birthday cake! Safe travels home, my that’s an early flight! I always look for the early evening flight home so I still have some park time or pool time our last day.

Your welcome, hope you had a great day on your birthday.

Grandson went up to guest bedroom after we got home yesterday and a nice long nap. I took a short nap too.

Received a phone call when I woke from my nap yesterday that my older sisters grandson died tragically. He was only 19. She and her family, my nephew (his dad) are traveling from Florida up here to a Southern Indiana. Please remember them in your prayers. So devastating.

 

[macraven]

Woot!
Monyk and family have arrived and are ready for a nap

At least you are settled into your room and now you can relax and catch some zzzzz’s now

 

[pattyw]

Please remember them in your prayers. So devastating.

So very sorry to hear this. Prayers are on the way to your family!

 

[macraven]

Just read your post Robo
Sending hugs for the family and prayers for all of you

News like what you received is very hard to take in at first
Very difficult for the parents and you/family at this time

 

[pattyw]

Lynne- prom this weekend?? Yay!! Send some pics!!

 

[schumigirl]

Enjoy yourself Monyk…….love Peach Valley Café...amazing little place.....and yes, we too have a loyalty card for ABC......lol.....the guy we kind of know suggested it a few visits back when we had been in a few times...….yes, more local than tourists!!!!

Robo…..how truly awful! And only 19....absolutely heartbreaking news. It`s going to be such a dreadful time....how do you even come to terms with that.....many hugs sent to you and your family......

poohishome…...I missed the little girl had been sent home......fabulous news, must be such a relief for everyone.....what a lovely outcome.


Watching an episode of Poirot tonight......not much on the tv....but may head through to the huge screen and watch a movie.....for some reason they do look better on that one......although I can watch movies on any size tv to be honest......

Mild night and pollen must be high as my eyes are scratchy......

Friday tomorrow...….another day of tea making and not much else apart from some housework......it`s not been as dusty as I might have thought, but I guess that will come..….

Think it`ll be an early night tonight......and realised we`ve been home a week already...……

But......96 days till we do it all over again...…...

Oh my goodness, that is so sad to read, can’t imagine how the family will manage to bounce back from such a tragedy.

 

[Charade67]

Good afternoon everyone. Slow day at work today until it was almost time to go home. I wanted to leave a little early because I needed to fix B’s hair before taking her to dress rehearsal. Thirty minutes before I needed to leave I had a new client wanting to schedule an appointment, a returning client who had new insurance (and wasn’t given all the information she needed), and a call from an insurance company needing more information on one of our new therapists. On the way home I realized I was almost out of gas, so another delay. I managed to get everything done, got B to rehearsal, and made it home in time to meet with pet sitter who will be looking after Caspian while we are gone.

Charade I expect a full report on Tropicana! I decided to stay put. I know the place and like it. Our place is across the street from The Legacy, which is a few hotels down from you. My youngest says there’s a really good icecream place on your block. It’s almost directly across from main gate entrance. I didn’t go but she did. I was with friends and one was treating her daughter and asked mine along.

I’ll try to do some posting while we are there. I will only have my phone with me though, so posts will probably be short.

Orlando/Universal then cruise. Can’t wait to hear about your trip!

Hope you have a great trip.

Flower pick up, then pick up little one, face and hair appointments, then back home to get ready.

Prom tonight? Hope she has a great time.

Pictures are great with the iPhone 10x max.

I’ve been playing with the settings on mine. I should do a search and find out what all it is capable of.

Received a phone call when I woke from my nap yesterday that my older sisters grandson died tragically. He was only 19.

I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers for the family.


Well, I should get up and do something productive, but there is a Thor movie coming on in a few minutes. I think I will just sit and watch.

 

[Lynne G]

Aww, my DH came to watch her go off with her 16 other friends in a huge white limo. He said, our little one is grown up. Yeah, and we are so proud of her.

All 17 kids:



Little one and her friend:



Need a ride? Get in....

Senior prom is a go.

Could not do outside nice pictures as was raining most of the time. Good thing was, as got to where limo was, rain held off.

Now I may be asleep before she comes home, though I will wake when I hear rthe door open. Then I usually go back to sleep if I get a reply.

And a final hehe, DH asked why little one had socks in her pocketbook. Do you think those girls dance around in those high heels? Yep, shoes and purses go in a big pile, as the girls all dance in socks. Don’t blame them.

 

[Sue M]

Schumi glad to hear driveway is coming along and dust isn’t too bad.

Monykalyn where is this Peach Valley? Sounds yummy. I get my alcohol from Walgreens Liquor store. There’s one in Deerfield so I buy before leaving for Orlando. Yes, I have loyalty cards for both Walgreens and CVS!

Robo I’m so sorry to hear that. How tragic. You and your family are in my prayers.
I agree, photos are great on my IPhone 10x Max. I never bother taking my camera along anymore. Just use my phone.

Charade busy day, glad everything worked out! Looking forward to updates when you can! I agree with Robo, about iPhone camera! Works quite well. My hotel just dropped $50. So I asked for adjustment. Now that you mentioned price drops I’m going to keep watching my rates!

Off to get ready for dinner! Change clothes, makeup....

 

[Lynne G]

And Robo, such very sad news. 19 way too young to pass away. Sending prayers and many hugs to your whole family. I hope some peace and comfort to your sister’s family.

Hoping for a quiet night.
