Picked up DS car this morning.........it is stunning!!! He was so chuffed driving it out of the showroom......not his first brand new car from there, but the best one he`s had so far........so him and Tom are going out a drive this afternoon......no surprise there........so bottle of champagne tonight.....always celebrate our new cars that way......and DS doesn't even drink.......so it`s just for us....... And Chinese takeout I think........

Our clocks go back in the UK this weekend.......it`s nice gaining an hour in bed tonight........but much darker nights follow of course........

A wahoo to Kyle and his new car. Nice to celebrate his new ride Schumi.

We too will top off at 72 today too Mac. A beautiful and sunny last Saturday of October.

Watching a rainy English football game. Half time means more tea.

Ha, DH asked if we have enough candy....uh hun, who has been snacking on my bags that mysteriously were opened the other day? Yeah, I may pick up another bag and hide it. Er, and he did not even remember the right day. Will be a dry, but windy and brisk Halloween.

Lucky Schumi and our other over the pond homies. A hour of extra sleep, and a falling back into time. We get to do that next weekend. Sigh, the time of year I come and go in the dark.

Have a joyously good Saturday all.

Time to drink the tea and wake some teens. Later.

Yesterday was in the 70's for us, today cooler and raining since morning


Hope rain stops as tv will be on as all day football games for us

Bought 4 bags of candy last night so well prepared for the 31st

Carole have a great day as it is officially Kyle kar day!

Happy Saturday morning everyone . Hope the sun comes out for awhile today.

Have to vent about something this morning. Has my sensitivity hackles up a bit. I read some of the trip reports at times and always read yours Carole . Your trip reports are always well written and full of wonderful trip ideas for those traveling to Orlando and the surrounding area. Did not want to post this on your trip report as I did not want to change the climate there. Did not want to start lengthy commentary on people’s rudeness vs what country their from.

I read of your incident with the young lady at HHN. So sad that some people behave so deplorable. One person on your trip report commented “Rude Americans” and said she was an American. I found this offensive. I would never blame everyone in any country for one persons bad behavior. I have had many encounters during my travels here and in other Countries where folks have been rude. That is the individuals responsibility for their behavior not the whole Countries. Had to get that off my shoulders.

Carole it would be hard not to be celebrating after picking up a new sporty car like that. Bet your fellas will have a ball on their drive this afternoon. Champagne is always good to celebrate. Nothing like the looks of new car and the smell of the new car.

Going to look through some recipes for Halloween Party. Will try to come up with something new.

Grandson is coming over for a visit today. He has gotten so tall he towers over me now. His Cub football team shared the City Championship with another team who ended the season with the same score as them 12 wins and 2 loses. He plays center. He will be playing freshman football next fall.....one of our older neighbors in Florida met him for the first time in May.......he told me if he saw our grandson on the line coming at him he would run.....told grandson about that and he laughed. Always so nice to have visits as everyone is always so busy.

Had lunch Thursday with sister and we talked about our trip to Universal and what a good time we had. We were able to have some pool time, shopping time, some good meals, met some nice folks and had fun at HHN. Great time.



Have a great Saturday everyone

I hear you Robo

When posters change the theme of someone's thread, many will post and ask all stay on topic and please use the pm system for thei opinions

Trip reports are for sharing one person's experiences
It is not a place to have someone inject and take other their axe to grind

Good morning. I’m going to have a somewhat productive day today. I already have dinner in the crockpot - white bean chicken chili. It’s supposed to be in the 50’s tomorrow, so I think it’s time to get the fall/winter clothes out of storage. Later today I’m making a chocolate peanut butter cake for a lunch at church tomorrow.

Robo - I hate it when generalizations are made about certain groups of people. I grew up in the south, and was taught that all New Yorkers are rude. (Kinda funny since my dad is from NY.) Life has taught me that there are rude people and nice people wherever you go.

Guess I should go and start laundry. Such and exciting day.

It's football all day on tv

Betting wagman will be watching

Mr Mac has the day planned around football

 

[Squirlz]

Our clocks turn back next Sunday, bringing an end to driveway grilling season. This is what we do every evening, weather permitting. When it gets dark at 6pm it's no fun.

 

[macraven]

Add some flood lights and cook
year round outside

 

[Charade67]

I’m switching out my seasonal clothes. Is it weird that I am also planning vacation outfits?

 

[Squirlz]

Add some flood lights and cook
year round outside

...and a patio heater! We have it covered, but you can't beat daylight.

Saturday afternoon Friday Night Football Update.

Wasn't in a hurry to post...last night's game really could not change any playoff seeding. After all scores were tallied, last week...we not only won the Region Championship, we locked in home field throughout the playoffs...as long as we win, we stay at home.

Last night, we won pretty easy 34-7, but it was some of the worst weather they ever played in...it was raining sideways and temperature dropped close to 20 degrees during the game.

Have a good weekend, all.

 

[macraven]

Yay!!!!

They are the champs

 

[tinydancer09]

GO DAWGS!!!
Went to the grocery store and made it home just in time for the game. About to put together a breakfast casserole and clean the house. I accidentally took a 2 hour nap after the game was over. no sleeping for a while fo rme! I'm already a night owl... that didn't help.

Was a great time at the zoo. This Tucan was swinging back and forth on that vine. Weather really brought the crowds, that and free treats. Then, a quick, but not crowded visit to the outlets. While little one got 2 more pairs of sneakers, stopped her from getting yet another pair of shades.

Eek, Schumi, did you see Tchop Chop is closing at the end of the year? Interesting, wonder what RPR will put in its place.

Quiet night. Kids are staring at a screen, and guess I am too.

When we wake up tomorrow, rain and more rain on the agenda. Hello Nor’easter, brief visit, please.

Have a good night all.

Woohoo to the car pickup @schumigirl! So just how many miles did the new car get today LOL?? Always so fun to drive a brand new vehicle and bet that car is an absolute dream!

Son and I lazed around this am-started binge watching Stranger things season 1 as son wanted to watch...He's assured me he's seen scarier things (not sure where?) but he wasn't hooked until 3rd episode. At end of last ep of season 1 now and he's totally into it.

COLD soccer game today-wind chill 36 degree. But they won and they played some of the best they've done all season-it's like all the drills and parents yelling to about talking to each other and passing clicked. Lunch out with grandma and grandpa passing through then home to chill. Closed up chicken coop and put a curtain over small opening into the coop area to retain the heat but the chickens are pretty hardy and all that down and feathers is quite warm. They have a couple nice roosting bars that they can cover their toes while they sleep.

House cleaned yesterday, sheets changed, laundry done-nice to just chill.

And apparently my son and his group of friends pick music tracks to listen too and discuss as a group each quarter (not school related-on their own). This quarter is Hamilton. He hummed and sang his favorite songs for me last night. Unfortunately it looks like a lottery system to get tickets (opening day in st louis is his birthday). He does love live theater (have been taking him since he was 5 to various high school and our town theater productions).

Anther chill day tomorrow -just a baby shower for good friend...

Hi Homies I don't post often but read all the time. My life is boring. But...today I learned the Emeril's Tchoup Chop is closing forever on December 31 and I am a bit miffed. No replacement announced. I'm kind of mad since this was in my plan for October 2018. Anyone else sad to hear it go?

 

[macraven]

I'm looking forward to a better restaurant to replace it

Always felt the one in city walk was way better

There were rumors flying this month when I stayed at rpr of tchop chop closing but not this soon

NYE not the best time to close the place
