Dark aged Rum, freshly squeezed limes, simple syrup, angostura bitters, Demerara sugar and champagne or proseccco........give a good chase with ice........

And enjoy.........hope that hasn’t put you off work........

Can’t imagine flying there using sw unless they change their seats to comfort ones

We've done nonstop from Buffalo to Phoenix- so about 5 hours and it was ok. I think I'd have to make a pit stop in LA first (Disneyland and Universal Hollywood?!)

Now chilling after some very good pizza, then will drive around to see what else interests us.

Enjoy! Hope DD finds her home for the next four years!

I'm in! I have a new found love for rum!!

I think we're going to our local liquor store later. Not sure if we'll be able to find the ones we tasted at Strong Water though.

Agavegirl1 I’am so sorry to hear you are in pain and the back injection did not help.

Sounds like you will be in very good hands with a top notch neurosurgeon and a loving husband to care for you.

I know it has been hard to cancel all your plans .

l will be praying for you.

 

[keishashadow]

agavegirl...sorry your trip was canceled but you can plan a new one when you're ready and pain free.

Hawaii sounds nice...when are they starting the flights? I might have to plan a trip for the kids birthdays next year

The plan for today is to give Sasha a much needed bath and do the laundry.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday

Well, originally word was late fall/early 2019 with an announcement this go-round. Maybe in June something will hit. Will let you know

I used United twice for trips to Hawaii

Upgraded the seats and extremely comfortable flights

I enjoyed the time there and saw it all

Can’t imagine flying there using sw unless they change their seats to comfort ones

Comfy seats sure sound nice! Always would snag upgrades when AirTran was still flying, miss them.

No direct flights from PIT to Hawaii on any carrier. A connection would make the trip easily take 16 hours+ best i have rustled up - no freakin way. Will split it into 2 days of travel. Five or six hours I can suck it up in coach since I’m a travel ‘hoand run on stretching that budget till it screams.

Seriously, i do appreciate that you cancel the trips and keep the credits, JIK something rears its head, no need to buy TI on it.

Patty - We were planning on doing DL for 2 days on the way out & Vegas on the way back. Unfortunately, the initial 4 cities that SWA will embark from are Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego & San Jose.

I'm ok with whatever it takes to get a vacation to happen!!

Yep- too far from Anaheim!

Went to the liquor store to check out the rums. Couldn't find the exact ones we liked from Strong Water, but I did find a spiced rum- having it in my Hard Rock glass so it's almost like I'm in Orlando! (not really, but...)

I ordered a jack with coke in the parks last year and they brought me that same spiced rum

They remade my drink
And that is my one and only experience with the captain

 

[Squirlz]

We're in Detroit for the Belle Isle Grand Prix. Got to visit with some of our favorite drivers today. The hotel we always stay in upgraded us to a jacuzzi suite but darn it I forgot my swimsuit!

Go butt naked

 

[Charade67]

Rehearsal ran an hour long tonight. Tomorrow is day one of recital. She has a show at 1:00 and 7:00. We also have somone coming by tomorrow morning to give us an estimate on repairing our deck. I need sleep.
Goodnight everyone!

Got the pup bathed and the laundry done just in time ...we had thunderstorms again just as I brought in the last load.

The Braves beat the Nats again tonight

Time for me to drink my bedtime tea and get some sleep as I have to get up at 6.

Good night Charade, mac and anyone else still up tonight

 

[macraven]

I just missed you Tink

I saw the game for most of it

The win was great!

Morning!

Coffee on patio watching the hens fight over the meal worms. Couldn't sleep so I got up. Got most stuff packed last night after banquet -where my dear husband won the "King of Paper plate" awards - awards given in jest for silly or boneheaded or funny things that members did throughout year. He got 3 this year, second year he's been king. He did win Sertoman of the year for his club (for outstanding service) as well. The guys who give out the awards are so funny when they do it- takes a fine line to have fun but not be actually mean. Called paper plate because one year for an event someone thought they ran out of paper plates and ran to Sams club to get more- turns out the guy who was in charge of buying that products had enough- he just didn't bring them all from his supply he had stored- thus the "paper plate" award was born.

Need to sneak phone out of bedroom- just realized I need to call today to pay off room if I want to use the gift card I've been patiently shoring up lol! I know the front desk could reverse charges but just easier to avoid that hassle.

Cuddle chicken Aurora says hi. Should attach audio as the ladies are all talking along with the Cardinals and robins (and I hear a wood pecker somewhere).

Already been out weeding the garden. Radishes popping out and will likely have tomatoes and maybe zucchini and green beans when we get back.

Charade hope the recital goes smoothly!
Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

 

[macraven]

Good Saturday to all the homies

Aurora! You're a beauty!

Wow! I felt successful because I fed the cats and got a cup of coffee!!

Good Saturday to all the homies

Morning, Mac!

Hi to everyone else just getting started the Saturday morning!

 

[schumigirl]

Patty you make me quite embarrassed you had to go buy rum...….

We have a huge liquor cabinet that is full of booze!!!!

This is a small selection of Rum`s we have right now.....we did have another Pilar one, but it was finished recently...….. And a weird one I can`t remember what it was called, but all bought from Total Wine or Duty Free at the airport.

Did enjoy a couple of cocktails last night with the Pilar and then the Spiced......nice!!!


Saturday again folks...……





Having an extra lazy day...….weather is dull and grey, so not going anywhere today or tonight...…..DH is watching a Robin Williams movie through in the family room...…..I don't like him very or didn't like him very much in a movie, so I`ll pass...….

Quite like the look of the new movie Book Club with Candy Bergen......looks fun.

Shrimp and parma ham with olives and some other little snack type food for dinner tonight......may add in a little salad and rosemary bread...….DS will be out for pizza...…

Love a lazy Saturday...……..

 

[pattyw]

Patty you make me quite embarrassed you had to go buy rum...….

LOL! We're hooked! But we thank you for leading us to Strong Water and Maggie & Brittany for our new rum appreciation! We went to our local small liquor store where the selection wasn't great. We're going to hit up our specialty liquor store to look for others!

We're wine drinkers mostly, Joe some bourbon. So, it's nice to try something new. Next, we'll try mixing cocktails! I'm learning...

 

[schumigirl]

Yes we are mainly wine drinkers and still prefer a good bottle of wine over most drinks, but cocktails are fun.....

We have just about every conceivable liquor or sprits as we call them over here in our cabinets in abundance......folks love coming to our home for some reason ......we always have a good wine stock too, so no one goes home sober usually unless they`re driving of course. I do however have some wines I keep just for us......not everyone appreciates a good wine...….

We are also not alcoholics I have to say...……

Time for mug of tea...…..

 

[pattyw]

Schumi- I like to say we're alcohol connoisseurs!!

On my way to my salon appointment. I'm having a keratin treatment done- try to relax some of my naturally curly hair- that gets frizzy in humidity!! Have to have it sit for 2 hours! So, I'll be here on the boards on my phone to pass the time!!

 

[Monykalyn]

Speaking of alcohol-forgot to mention DH won the raffle last night too- fire ring full of booze- vodka, rums and several whiskeys- including a really good one. Second time he's won this raffle- I still have booze leftover from the one he won 4 years ago! I grabbed the good whiskey and vodka on my way out last night (I left earlier than DH) so it wouldn't "disappear". I'm keeping the good stuff for us this time!
Paid room this am, paid rest of beach rental (it's been a busy week- I forgot), and rented a golf cart for the fort.

@pattyw - I was out in garden because I was restless- meant to just go see what's blooming but I can never resist pulling the weeds-not good for manicures but I didn't do any damage this time (just had to get the dirt from under nails out lol).
