Something About Nothing ... #12

Schumi, I would say flowers or is there something you bake or make that she really likes? I like the idea of a newspaper from when she was born. Memory book of your times with her or of just her?

What a wonderful woman and what an amazing life to still be alive at 100.

She really has had an amazing life. One of these ladies that did everything from sports to flying planes even before it was acceptable for women to do things like that.

She'll love the newspaper, but I don't have an awful lot of pictures of her or I would do something with them. Flowers will definitely be a feature.

@schumigirl difficult sometimes meeting friends of friends - my best friend moved up to Yorkshire some years ago and we spend a lot of happy time visiting them or them to us - last New Year we were up for a few days and she informed us we would be spending New Year's Day at the home of the ex husband of one of her friends who was having a gathering on his smallholding "you'll love it" we were informed "he built it all himself'. It was truly awful - we couldn't even understand how she might have thought we'd like it. The people were totally on another planet to us - I won't go into details but we are dreading how to avoid ever going again!

Oh goodness......sounds awful! I'm quite blunt now........if I'm uncomfortable anywhere, I leave and make it plain I won't be back............but I know it's not always that easy.......definitely just say no if the possibility opens up for such a visit comes up again. I feel your pain though.........

Oh my gosh how cool!!
LOVE the idea of newspaper from day she was born! I think that stuff is very neat. All my kids have a "memory keeper" sheet of all the significant things that happened on their birthday (the day, not necessarily the year) and it has the "average cost" of some things the year they were born (gas, gallon milk, house, 4 years at college)

Thanks for the nice things said about my daughter. All my kids are so dang smart in science-I don't consider myself dumb (and I am in a medical related field) but sheesh-these kids are gonna blow me away. The oldest already did with her NASA research:rotfl:.

So-pool boy stripper by RPR pool in September for @schumigirl birthday? hmmm-that be a fun trip!!!

Oh the card from the Queen is the thing we're all excited about! I like that memory keeper sheet idea......we did it for our son, but never thought about doing it for anyone else..........

You definitely have kids to be proud of..........:thumbsup2



Not sure about the pool boy......can I stick to the hunky fireman...........::yes:: or a guy in a navy uniform.........:blush:


It is chucking it down tonight.........glad to be in and cosy........just had some pizza which was lush!

Lazy night with the mister tonight..........:hug:

I still have CRT types stored in basement than I care to admit, just waiting for a free recycle day...not holding my breath. Even goodwill won't take them anymore.

Yay.......congrats on the bigger cabin!!! Fabulous...........and didn't know there was a new potc movie coming out????? I've still only seen the first one...........

Oh there was one hot SA guy from HHN last year........I will be seeking him out again...........jk :D

Lol.........old tv's are hilarious now! So huge at the back!
 
Ladies, I have an aunt who is going to be 100 this month. She's really my mums cousin, but grew up calling her aunt. So, I have no idea what to get her as a gift. It's hard enough to buy for my mother as she really does have everything and always says she doesn the want anything.........but, with my aunt, I have no clue.

Just flowers?? She still lives in her own home and has everything she's needs too..........we are all so looking forward to her getting her telegram from The Queen.

Off out grocery shopping soon........the Joy of Friday........

Wow 100 years is a big celebration for sure. I was watching this cooking show the other day (Pioneer Woman) and she has a aunt that did not really want any gifts, but she cooked her aunts favorite soup and a baked lemon and Rosemary chicken and a beautiful cake. She put the cake in a beautiful cake carrier and that was part of the gift as well as the pot the soup was in. Her aunt was very happy with her prepared meals and soup bowl container and cake carrier.
Your Aunt would be overjoyed with one of your yummy meals I bet ::yes::

Ahh, it snowed and snowed some more, then the sun came out, and no more snow, just below freezing now.

Kids want to watch Logan tomorrow. Funny, little one remarked that she could not believe adults would take young kids to the movie. It is rated R. I am not worried about her. She has watched older ones FPS video games and I took her to Deadpool, and she was good with that movie too. Now that older one is 19, no need for mom to chaperone. I may go though, sounds like a good movie. And it is at our local theater that has lounge chairs. Love relaxing while watching a movie. Since Dr. Strange came out today on DVD, we are watching it at home soon. Not much good free TV on a Friday night.

We will see how late my night owls stay up, they want to watch the Manu soccer game, which is 7:30am our time.

And I am still wrapping my head around that we will be on EDT next Sunday. And of course, little one pulled a soccer game at 9:30, that is good hour away. Ah, I am sure the salty language will be heard that morning. Well, I generally hear those words almost every day, usually in response to the mom alarm repeating get up.
 
I have completely forgotten what snow is

But still have pictures of it to refresh my memory when I think of visiting up North

With all the snow you are having, your water table will be in good shape

On tonight's news this evening, my area is still in extreme drought

With all the rain we have had, we now have less water since after our storms and rain this week

I think every family needs a daughter with salty language.....

all my sons could beat anyone's kid with the language that came out of their mouths

Salty and foul

But they kept it clean when at school

So thankful they did as I was a teacher at the schools they attended....

Oh I love those theaters! We have one ~15 min away and another one ~20 min away that has "adult" only as they will serve you food and alcohol in the theater! Friend of ours for past couple years has rented out one of these so we can all watch Christmas Vacation together (we pay for own food/drinks). We kinds have to do this as we have group of >30 people now (and we might, might have been asked to NOT come back to small local theater that plays that movie friday after thanksgiving-not saying this did happen but...maybe. :)) And Alamo is building one just a couple minutes away!

UGH to snow! 2nd cousin in town tomorrow with college baseball team (she's in training for athletic trainor) and playing my alma mater so the boy and I are gonna go see the game. DH is up at his dad's hunting farm 5 hours away doing a controlled burn.

Catching up on DVR'd shows. Anyone else watch the Colony?
 
Not our MonyK......never!

She is miss perfect and would never act up in the theater


Besides, it was probably one of the other family members that created the havoc

:rolleyes1 nope not me, movie wasn't sponsored by local beer company, nor do we ALL quote parts of the movie then yell at each other to be quiet.
Seriously-we did have 75% of the theater that night (it really isn't big at all). But after that we decided we'd rather do our own thing, including costume contest before movie starts. The people in bar/restaurant next door to the theater we moved to were HIGHLY amused by us last December when about 20 of us came fully decked out in our finest Christmas Vacation attire:rotfl2:
 
Why am I thinking it was the Rocky Horror Picture Show you were watching ...........


Audience participation type of movie
