Tail end of Storm Ewan apparently............again.

I love lamb! Roast chicken for us tonight for dinner...........

Just heard on the news Bill Paxton died. Only 61.

 

[pcstang]

Wow! I was not a fan of his work but that is sad.

Just heard on the news Bill Paxton died. Only 61.

Very sad at such a "young" age - he was in a lot of disaster movies which my DD and I like.

 

[schumigirl]

No I wasn't much of a fan either, always mixed him up with Bill Pullman when I heard his name........absolutely hated Twister!

No age at all though.

Mac...Did you spell check me?

Kohlby...Well...Much safer without a doubt. And the technology available now blows my mind...(and hopefully prevents others from actually BLOWING their mind from the bends). My mother became a Divemaster at the age of 50-something. She Cray.
I grew up idolizing Jacques Yves Cousteau. Wanted to BE JYC. (Until I found out most Divers, Marine Biologists, etc. actually don't make very much.) Jacques' grandson Phillipe, continues to be an incredible advocate for the oceans
So I majored in Ping Pong, Billiards, and Softball....Oh...and finding the perfect wife.

That makes me feel better. My eldest's scout troop is going to take a SCUBA course. I'm not doing it with them, as it's pricey and the logistics would be too hard for me, but my husband will be doing it as well.

Pizza, wings and a movie for us. Every Sunday just about is pizza night. We have an amazing place near here. When I went on weight watchers a few years ago to lose the baby weight it was the one thing I couldn't compromise on. Had to have it once a week.

Shocking to hear about Bill Paxton.

Survived Saturday! Think I'm lounging today, comfy couch.
Didn't get the memo we'd be waking up to this though!

Afternoon everyone .

Sitting with feet propped up enjoying a quiet Sunday. Thankful the Lord has decided to bless this old girl with another year. Have received some lovely birthday calls today. Lovely neighbors are having us for dinner this evening. Look forward to the visit.

Was going to take a walk on the beach today, but the wind is pretty strong about 17 miles out of the north. Would be a loofah walk for sure. So will wait and see what the wind does tomorrow.

Sun is shinning. Supposed to be 76 today. The Palm tree leaves are swaying in the breeze.

Wow buckeev what a dive adventure. You are a lucky dude to have been with a group of dive professionals that knew how to bring you back to the surface. So glad you survived the ordeal. God was not done with you yet. Thank goodness. So glad to hear you found the perfect wife. You are blessed for sure.

Very fortunate to live near the Harbor Branch Oceanograghic Institute. Have attended some really nice lectures there. So nice to learn from passionate professionals who like to share their love of the ocean. A few pics from last visit last year.




Schumi good luck on the furniture hunt.

Kohlby we bought a number of rooms of furniture from "Rooms to Go" also a few years ago. They always seem to have a nice selection to choose from to satisfy every taste. We also bought some pieces from " Haverty's" and "Ashley's" . Florida has some very nice furniture stores to choose from.

Mac had my fill of coffee this am also. Hope you didn't fall asleep in church .

Wow! Realfoodfans sounds like your the lunch you made yesterday was lush as Schumi would say

Feeling some better today. Still have a cough, but ears, sinuses and eyes some better. Now hubby has it. I feel bad that I shared it.

Monykalyn glad to hear you had a success with your event. Now time to rest today.

Afternoon Lynne.

Hope Tink and Keisha are well.

Quandrea and Kohlby. So nice that you home school your littles. We have a granddaughter that teaches third grade and she loves it.

Was sorry to hear about Bill Paxton. Was a good actor. "Twister", "Big Love", "Aliens" had to give him some kudos for sure after all Twister was at Universal. Never really enjoyed that walk through, but glad I did it while it was there.

I hated Twister - long time ago DD and I went to the cinema to watch it - we left half way through there was a terrific thunderstorm and we were glad to go home!

 

[Realfoodfans]

Happy birthday Robo! Sounds like a good day planned.

My pen pal (since we were 9 and our fathers had same role mine in Cheshire, UK and hers in Rochester, NY and dad would visit them for dinner when he was in the US - impressive back in the 60's) has one of her daughter's who is a PhD student in Boston researching into conservation of fish and we really were impressed to see her on Shark Week programmes! She is really brave but totally loves her work. Not for me I don't like deep water - when we visited Australia we went out to the Barrier Reef and I was really fearful in the water - never again!

 

[Robo56]

Didn't see Twister in the cinema. Glad I didn't pay to see it. Caught it a number of times years later on TV. Having lived through a number of tornado's was interested to see how they would depict it in the movie.

Robo.........

Hope you have a lovely day!

Thank you for the happy birthday.

We have had a a uptick over the last few years of more shark bites in our area. I don't swim in the Ocean here anymore and I'am very cautious with the grandchildren when they visit and our Ocean time. I would be mortified if I took someone to the beach and they were injured.

I remember a beach helicopter pilot telling me once that if people could only see what is near them in the water they would never go in the Ocean again.

Some visitors do not heed the warnings here on the beaches and end up with dislocated shoulders and broken limbs do to rough surf. The Ocean is a powerful and beautiful force to appreciate for sure.

Happy birthday Robo!

Yep, I grew up surfing at Daytona, cocoa beach and New Smyrna. Years ago I worked for a condo management company in Panama City. Amazing what you would see next to people in the water from the high floors of the condos. I'll stick to the pool, thank you very much.

Thanks pcstang and Schumi. Really enjoying the lazy day.

Yep. Pool is a good option for enjoying the water. Especially at one of the resorts at Universal

Just got off the phone with daughter in Kentucky. They have been enjoying those 70 degree days. She just told me it's colder for the next few days. They live near Kentucky Lake.

Hope you all have sorted your plans for your upcoming trip to Universal. Something to look froward to for sure.

We are now under 200 days! 199 days till we leave for our overnight at airport..........not that I'm counting or anything.......... although that means 199 days till I'm 50!

Yeah! The count down begins. Always nice to be looking forward to your great time in Florida and of course another of your fabulous trip reports. My younger sister is going to be 50 in September too. Remember age is just a number.

35 is nicer than 50 though..........

No, genuinely doesn't bother me.......I used to think it did, but not any more. It really is just a number.......


Getting a bit colder tonight, although we are watching an Icelandic murder show on tv that is just snow, ice and more snow and ice.........said to DH, I swear I'm getting cold just watching this. Subtitles too, so have to keep watching. It's very good though. Love those Nordic type dramas.
