in the 50's here, yesterday wasn't any better.

good bye to our brief one week of summer.........sob...

 

[Monykalyn]

Hey if anyone wants to get a last glimpse of summer - here in SW Missouri we will be back in 90's with humidity in next few days, sunny...after a couple weeks of gorgeous 80's sunny and low humidity (and low's in the 50's). Kids have to ask daily if we are "fall" clothes today with summer afternoons or "mid summer hot" days to decide what to wear!

 

[macraven]

i grew up in the st louis area.
loved the weather no matter how much everyone else complained.

i've been searching which hotel to book for a short trip and stay down there for later in october.

@tink1957 is that your husky in your avatar?? If so, he/she is gorgeous

Thanks Bonny, yes that's my blue eyed demon Sasha...she's usually a sweetie but has her moments...I'm wearing a nasty scratch on my leg now due to the fact that she doesn't understand that my legs are not to be jumped on.

Don't know what mac was talking about others having my avatar...they must like my doggie.

It's a beautiful day here...60s this morning with a nice breeze...80s this afternoon, a great break from the usual 90s ...I'm gonna enjoy it while I can and do a little weeding in the garden.

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

i didn't know that tink!
i have seen the pic from a couple of other posters this past year.
it is a beautiful doggy so i guess you aren't the only one with a sweet blue eyed demon....

yea, we finally hit 59 degrees.
when the winds pick up, it will drop again.

wish i had your weather tink....

are you in the atlanta area ?

 

[tink1957]

Yes mac, we're 60 miles south of Atlanta in west central ga on the AL/GA line.

It's my dream to retire in the Clearwater area...close to the beach and parks...maybe when I win the lottery

Well, I've had a couple of busy days this week so I'm behind a bit on all the chatter. Sometimes, I actually have to work at work. Sheesh .

Robo....hope you have recovered from the colonoscopy. What a crappy test (pardon the pun ). I dread the point where they start becoming necessary tests due to my (ahem!) advancing age.

Maria....thanks for the kind compliment on my trip reports . Glad you enjoy reading them, 'cause I get a lot of joy from writing them. If I am following along correctly, I think you are leaving on your trip today then?

MonyK.... to the chicken deworming (that had to be a less-than-enjoyable task). Hope your fowl are all better soon. Your menu sounded delish, but makes me feel very lazy. I am always thrilled when Steve gets home from work before I do, because then he makes dinner (and I don't have to use valuable brain cells to come up with something creative and yummy).

keisha.....I won't tell you its a buyers market then, for fear I might be on your hit list . I work in the industry and hate that saying too!! (I mean, I 'get' it, but yet....its so hard to actually DO when the markets are in a free fall). I hear things are better today but I'm afraid to look .

RAPstar.....so sorry about your contract. Here's to something awesome for you ahead! Try to enjoy your little getaway in the interim.

Cdn Friends.....very cool about your DH! We usually stay in Markham whenever we go to Canada's Wonderland. Its just over two hours from home.

mac....you dislike both chicken and Christmas!?!?!? You're killing me here .

Schumi....enjoy your lunch with your friend . I love lunch dates with the ladies! They are good for the soul.

Lynne....we've noticed that influx of winter attire in the stores too. Kind of depressing to know the flowers in my garden will be dead from frost within the next 6 weeks, and the leaves will be falling. I am not ready for autumn and winter!! (but then again, I never am)

I am off to the salon to get rid of all my greys this aft. One of my favourite days of the month. A couple of hours there is more helpful than a session with a therapist!!!

 

[schumigirl]

Lol Janet......I Saw what you did there........

Vicki........enjoy your gardening......it can be pleasant if it's not too heavy.........we looked at buying a house in a place called Dunedin near Clearwater few years back.......it's so beautiful there........don't regret changing our mind now.....but I sometimes look at that area and think........we could have a vacation home there.......


Had a lovely day today.......nice lunch and a good catch up.....time just runs away sometimes.....beautiful day and lovely and warm.....

It's Wednesday.........

 

[macraven]

mac....you dislike both chicken and Christmas!?!?!? You're killing me here .

i never said i don't like christmas.
just referred that i'm not thinking of christmas this far out.
it's summer still......that is if you can call weather in the high 50's summer

but chicken is on the list of not favorite foods unless it is made a few ways i do eat it.
childhood trauma....


34 days before i hit orlando

i check the market daily.
Mr Mac looks at it more than once a day.
old habits die hard.
but, he is very glad to be out of that type of work.
i think he still dreams in numbers.......lol

 

[schumigirl]

3 weeks today and we'll be in the airport Radisson night before we fly..........


Yep.......far too early for Christmas talk........maybe November for me.......Christmas Eve for mac.......

I like chicken. Most ways.




Taking the boy out shopping tomorrow for new shoes and trainers.........may look for something for me while I'm there........

Slow night tonight, not doing much at all........think it's an early night for us.........watch some TV in bed I think..............

We call ours the "hooligans" ... our oldest (Tanner) is 4 and he still gets the puppy zoomies LOL

 

[keishashadow]

i find myself a real red-head today long story but let's just say i'm headed to a new salon tomorrow for remedial color services. trying to find the humor in this that has family but not feeling it.

shoe shopping (for others) is fun. I started Xmas shopping months ago, like to spread it out for less of a hit on the pocketbook.

cold here too, supposed to bounce back to mid 80's this weekend. Looks like florida's going to get hit with lots of rain from the storm.

 

[Lynne G]

Pictures Keisha? At least your not sporting pink or several colors hair.

Hot night, still almost 80, but by morning, 60. News just said to get ready for another heat wave. Oh yeah, I am not ready for the fall yet. I will have to start following the temps expected when I visit Orlando. And, I am counting down , 45 days and I will be enjoying the Florida sunshine.

Good night all, let the bugs keep their humming going. Mac needs to keep the light on and then all need a night light or flashlight.

 

[Monykalyn]

Great minds?-made an appointment with my stylist today to get this dang "pixie dust" out of my hair-no matter what you call it it is still grey LOL! Just one more week...

What is this "Christmas shopping" that is being talked about? It's still (technically) summer! Got play off baseball (go Cardinals!), marching band season, 2 kids birthdays (my oldest will be 18!) Halloween and the oldest chicken-wing-cooking-competition-in-the-states-for-charity(Sertoma Wingapalooza) to get through before I can think about Christmas...Probably why there is never any winter gear left when I actually need it (and not when some store decides to stock it).

 

[macraven]

hey....
the reveal for hhn 25 has been announced.....
for those that are going this year, what do you think?

i'm glad to get more info on some of it that was rumored about prior.

AWIL will be back.
i loved it last time hhn had that house.
that is where my avator comes from...
david in the hospital bed behind us.
was able to get the pic during the unmasking the horror tour that year.

ok keisha, did you go red this time or golden blonde?
spill it..

mony k, are you serious, you a cardinal fan???

when busch stadium was changed, i went and got a piece of one of the old seats there.....
i love my red birds!!
used to skip school when in high school for the day games in st louis.....
well worth the consequences.

Oh hope you can get it sorted Janet!!! I had a similar incident about 20 years ago........everyone tried to tell me I wasn't a redhead it was strawberry blonde......it wasn't I had gone from dark with a kinda plum coloured rinse to blonde........it went red!! And horrible.......I wouldn't leave the salon till they sorted it.......they did sort it though, but I feel your pain......you're definitely a blonde gal.........

I hate shoe shopping.......but I need my trainers for walking round the parks......usually get them before now as I like to kinda walk them in.....but I have 3 weeks, it'll be fine. The boy is easy for shoes thank goodness......he just looks at first pair and says they'll do......if they fit he takes them, same with trainers.

First time I heard the expression Pocketbook was last year when I lost what I call my purse in NYC........the guy who found it called it my wallet, my aunts friend back on LI said she was so happy I got my pocketbook back??? Never had heard that one before......we would say I have my purse in my handbag........I love the differences in our languages..........

Very happy with HHN mac............missing Mr Myers of course......lol.......


Looks another beautiful day today.....getting use out of the summer wardrobe this year again, but there is starting to be an autumnal feeling in temps very early morning and early evenings now........

heading to shops early as our schools go back in next couple of weeks.......shoes are heaving with parents getting back to school uniforms and shoes........not fun!!

 

[macraven]

hey schumi !

i haven't heard pocketbook used in some time.
you mentioned that and i smiled.
makes me think of words that aren't used as often anymore.
my gma would say pocketbook so i knew what that was.

i remember when you had that problem in NYC with having your wallet returned.
when you go back the next time to NY, stick your wallet in your pocket.......

i'm sure Mr Myers will return in another year.
so many repeats again and again with hhn....
but, i'm sure they will do them all up fine.

for peeps that don't go to hhn regularly, they are thrilled with the house and zone line up.
i'm looking forward to some of the houses and think they will be changed around some from what they were like in past years.

have fun shopping !!

i'm glad you mentioned shoe shopping.
writing myself a mental note i need to do that too very soon.

 

[schumigirl]

Yes.......it seems to be a normal term in the States for purse........I still thank my lucky stars every day for that honest guy in the City..............I could live without the money......it was just such a surprise that someone took such an effort to find me and make sure it was returned directly to me. What a guy.

I`m sure Halloween will return........

 

[schumigirl]

Posted before I meant to..........

Shopping was simple this morning.......both got trainers, Kyle got shoes and I picked up another top for holidays........it winked at me will do for the parks..........

Laundry out on line.......will iron this afternoon......nice day, bit breezy but warm
