i was looking at the pear shape bowls on my iphone.
now i am using the iMac, one of the products in the bowl looks like walnuts.

Awww man, the weather looks beautiful at Islands. Have fun indeed PC and the Bluers.

We have absolutely blue skies and almost at freezing. Stiff wind is not helping the sunshine warm ya. I will take it. Rain on tap for Monday. How many times did I say rainy Monday? Probably too many. At least that means we will be in the 40s.

Pizza for lunch. Kids were happy. I made ice tea, hoping to feel like it is warmer than it is.

Ugh, weather guy is saying we have a polar vortex pouring cold air on us. Where is that 70 Keisha? No us any day this coming week. We are to be 40s and 50s with rain and more rain.

Good job keeping that sugar low Robbie.

KY, counting down is such a fun way to get ready to travel. My count is still in months.

Orange, walnuts and figs. Yep, that is what I see on my iPad. Haha Bluer.

Off to get more medicine for the kid. He woke up yesterday with a nasty asthma attack, then when that got under control later in the day, he got a nasty head ache, enough to make him feel very sick. Early bedtime helped, and the Doc ordered stronger pills he can take if he feels that bad again. I am glad he is feeling better.

Hope all those with allergies are doing well. It has been a rough spring so far, for my DS.

Got my one day of sleeping in this week and the business even cooperated! No one called me until after 1. It was lovely! Though I do have a headache from being lazy for so long.... Funny how that works.

Getting ready to head back to the coast tomorrow. Need to go get packing supplies for mommy dearest... Though she hates me calling her that so I do call her mother Teresa in most cases. Have I stated this week that I'm ready for the new house?

 

[macraven]

you are moving to another city in a new house?

or is this for the business?

Lovely pic PC.......always been one of my favourites...........

Lynne hope the kiddo feels even better today.........sucks to see your children suffer in any way.......

Definitely figs..........



Finally all my guests have made their way home..........most arrived 11.30ish this morning where I had made a couple of pitchers of mimosas.......nice!! 8 of us altogether.

Lunch at 1.30. Beef was gorgeous and there is not a bit of moo left! The vegetarian loved her meal too which I was happy about.........such a nice girl.........she takes jokes well about her non meat eating.........she gives as good as she gets.......

Desserts later for those that wanted them, then just sat around talking with wine and made some more cocktails..........it was such a beautiful day.........cold if you went out of the sun, but a lovely day. Nice to just catch up with friends now and again.......and the men all cleared up while we sipped and chatted.........not a bad deal!

So full up.

Definitely feet up tonight...........

huh, that's one of the few things i was happy about. so many beads my neck hurt, GD was thrilled to get them when we got home

i've still got a mad on over mardi gras after our 1st go-around, but it is it too much to expect to actually be able see a concert they advertise without jumping thru hoops? realize the stadiums they have don't hold as many vs. stuffing people in like sardines but don't see why two shows a night on Friday & Saturday wouldn't work to accomodate majority of guests.

now that i got that out of my system lol have a great time, see u in October (how far away does that sound eek). In May our flight doesn't land until the evening, park time on Sunday & Monday before moving over to WDW.

trying to switch things around to extend trip & to save $ on airfare in Oct. tell me again how long it would take us to drive down to Port Everglades (FLL) on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Would want to be there by 2 pm at latest. I'm seeing estimates of 6 hours, but that seems long for some reason to me.



nope, pizza free sadly will be griling a few thick steaks today...it's 20 degrees right now btw.



ding, ding, ding we have a weiner! don't worry about the cheat day, get back in the saddle today.

You are about 3 1/2 to 4 hours from there even with a 15-20 minute rest stop.

 

[Bluer101]

It's been perfect weather. Almost a shame we have to work in the AM.

Just left pcstang quick bathroom at PBH and jump on the road. Had a total blast and looking forward to the next meet.

 

[keishashadow]

Yes she is Mac and keeps asking every day can we go now LOL

are we there yet? lol

 

[tinydancer09]

tell me if have this wrong.
you are moving to another city in a new house?

or is this for the business?

Okay.... so I live in GA full time with my sister because I teach dance here and have all my doctors here.
My business is vacation rentals at Cape San Blas and that's where my parents live. I go there every other weekend just about.
Technically I'm actually a Florida resident because it was better for the business so the government thinks I live with my parents.

My parents are living in a house called Avalon right now- it was a renal a longggg time ago but when I graduated college they moved in full time.... and then hated it! It's a very good rental not a very good a live in home. Not enough storage... so then they bought a lot and decided to build this OMG home and put Avalon back as a rental. I joked that they needed to build an apartment on to the back of it so that when I came down to the beach to work I would have my own place and office so that they could kick their feet up and I could come into the business more since that would allow me to spend more time at the beach since we wouldn't be living under each others noses... Well, then they did it- not a joke. Dad wanted a garage for his corvette so they added an apartment above it. So, while it is not mine, I will be getting the majority of the use out of that apartment that's across the way. We call it the carriage house.

Mom is custom building EVERYTHING though so shes very involved in the building process and is nearly always at the house or working on the house in some way (picking flooring, paint, decor, etc.) Her and I run the business together and dad heads up maintenance.. so when they got to doing all the stuff mom is responsible for (paint, appliances, flooring, design, etc.) I had to pretty much take the business and all of the reservations so she could focus on that. It's really not that bad, but it's rough not having your second when you're so used to splitting the office work. Plus, I've upped my traveling this year so that I'm on the ground at the beach more. Last year I only went down about once a month, now it's every other weekend and for 3-5 days instead of just 3.

So... long explanation to your question. TL;DR version is I live in Ga, Travel to my parents in fl, Parents building house in FL to live in with apartment "For" me, and it's taking up a lot of business resources (my mom) to build this house therefore I'm ready for it to be FINISHED.

i blame the mouse, he took it....

avalon park.
i wish my mom were here so i could ask her about that.
they would go stay with a friend in avalon park before they went to hobb sound for the winter each year.
i had no idea where it was located, now i know

they wanted to buy there but for some reason didn't and just did a rental from after christmas to the spring each year, for many years..

 

[pcstang]

I could be way off Mac...I have never heard of Avalon sound. People name their houses at the beach which is what I think TD is talking about. I know where she is talking about and it's not Avalon sound.

Meaning orlando?
Owning is a lot more headache than rental. You don't have to worry about any maintenance as a rental. Many of our winter guest come year after year and that's the very reason they won't buy.

Correcto. All of our houses have names:
Cottage by the Sea, Blue Pearl, Bella Vista, Emerald Isle, Sandy Feet, etc. I have one called Rehab That owner has a sense of humor. She wants to name her next one Recovery.

It's so that people know the homes and we can communicate better than memorizing addresses. Avalon (my parents house) is located at Cape San Blas, FL which is an hour east of PCB

You're jumping all over the place today! I never knew a store like that existed! I lived in Tuscaloosa for a bit and used to travel from there to ATL, but never been that far north inside of AL.
