Something About Nothing ... #12

To all the homies tonight

 

[Monykalyn]

Chicken was yummy. Cream puffs for desert-her cream puffs were better than some bakeries I've had. This was the experimental batch. Her project partner is going to make another batch of puffs, and middle will make more filling later this week when they have to bring in the food.
Soccer game was...not good. DS team for some reason were pretty lackluster today. Definitely not the best they've played. DS had a good defensive play and his first header. Wish I had got a picture.

And good news for vacay budget-riding lawnmower was able to be fixed!

Mountains are pretty no matter where they are.
hey Tink, robo, and mac and everyone else
Watching Fear too. Then new Westworld. Then bed.
Some sprinkles this afternoon-then clear blue sunny skies at dinner. If it doesn't rain gonna have to drag sprinklers out to garden tomorrow. My sprinkler system in garden is apparently temporarily out of order.

 

[macraven]

Monyk hope it rains for you

Hope it does not rain here for me

Since beginning of February, I’ve been paying to have the yard mowed about weekly
If we get rain, my grass will grow faster and probably be having the lawn moved every 5-6 days then

Really great your daughter is a baker
She will wow everyone with her fabulous cream puffs

Everyone will love her and partners food they bring in!

This time next week we’ll be in Ocean Prime having my favourite cocktail in there......Berries and Bubbles.........

Putting that on my list!

Just booked a week in August in Orlando

Yay!!

Hello Homies! After some serious consideration, consternation and contemplation that I am announcing my abdication from US/IOA for October 2018.

So sad to have to postpone a trip but you'll reschedule soon!!

To all the homies tonight

And good news for vacay budget-riding lawnmower was able to be fixed!

Always good when the vacation budget stays intact!

Cloudy and a few sprinkles on Sunday in Orlando. Went to Maggiano's Little Italy for dinner. Here are our desserts:

[macraven]

Were all 4 desserts for you or did you have to share

Jk

I’m sure you got a sample of each one

They all look scrumptious!

 

[pattyw]

Also had a DISmeet with @Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina this evening!! So enjoyed meeting her and Steve!! Time just flew! You'd think we were old friends instead of our first time meeting! People on the DIS are special, indeed!!

My mom and Troy got their own pieces of the HUMONGOUS chocolate cake. Joe and I shared the small versions of apple crostada, tiramisu, and chocolate cake bites. Had leftovers- guess what's for breakfast?? Have to finish up Voodoo donuts, Krispy Kreme donuts, and those desserts! We fly out Monday night!

Diet begins Tuesday morning! Schumi- you're up next to indulge on your vacation!! I'll be eating yogurt while reading your TR!

Totally agree!
A lot of fun putting a face with a name on those we talk to inside this box

Sounds like you had a most wonderful time in the meet up with Gina

Add me to your list as we connect in October for hhn
Bonus for you is you also will meet up with Janet and Robbie plus me

Mr Mac used to tease me about my imaginary friends in the box

Dis homies that is

Enjoy the rest of your trip and have fun in the sunshine

 

[macraven]

I will start my yearly diet some months before I see all you homieo
Including you too pattyw

And I will gain all the weight back since I will be eating the food at Disney and the darkside for 17 days

Squirlz.........glad you had such a lovely break with your lady and friends........always nice to have a break like that........and always nice to be back with Internet........our family has a holiday place up in the back of nowhere in the wilds of Scotland........lovely, but no internet or phone signal........I usually last 4 days max!!!

Robo, not long till you go either.........I’m sure you’ll love Ocean Prime.........same standard as The Palm........and the Berries and Bubbles cocktail is beautiful!!!

MonyK........sounds like your DS played better than his team........yes, a picture of that would have been good!! Love the sound of cream puffs!!!

Patty......Kyle would enjoy that chocolate cake!!!! I know what you mean about meets........the people I’ve met off of here all became instant friends, macraven, Keisha, Vicki and metro west to name just a few, and we have been friends for many years now........we finally met Keisha and her lovely husband in 2016........instant connection!!!! We are so sad we miss them by a day once this year and last year too.........we’ll meet up again though.......chatting between meets though with everyone is nice though!! Only ever met a couple who were a bit odd and one who the fakest person ever.......there’s always one though, can spot them a mile away.......but, none of them post anymore though...........You’ll love Ocean Prime.......food, drinks, service and ambience are top notch!!!!

Mac......Kyle used to say that when we first met folks from here........are they from the boxes online.......lol.......oh don’t mention diet..........blew ours badly over the weekend.........oops!!! Best laid plans..........



So we have another glorious Bank Holiday Monday.........apparently it’s the warmest early Bank Holiday we’ve had in the U.K......ever!!! That’ll do nicely...........sitting out in garden already with breakfast tea........under a big shady garden umbrella though.......sun is up.......

No plans to do anything today as roads are always packed, and all the quaint little places are packed out with day trippers and that’s never fun. So, it’ll be a day in the garden, grilling food, reading, relaxing and covered in suncream........and folks wonder why we come back from Florida with no tan!!!! West of Scotland skin burns so easily.......

Anyway, hope your Monday is a good one.........

Yep, all you late TV watching homies. It's Monday morning. Good Morning.

Yay, MonyK has a baking kid. I like most sweets.

Which means, yum pictures Patty. Sounds like you are having a lush eating time.

Hey Mac, we didn't get much rain yesterday, but enough overnight Saturday, lots of mowing yesterday. And, went past the golf course, I think every golf cart was out yesterday afternoon. The temps are starting to say, hey, summer is coming. I"m ready for some heat. Today will see 70 by the afternoon. Was 55 out this morning.

Lots of car power Squirlz. Glad to hear you had a nice time in the Smokies. I too enjoy mountain scenery.

Well, I went shopping for shoes, finally found the sandals I wanted, and yes, that's right, little one got these really neat looking sneakers too. If you are counting, little one got 3 pairs of shoes, me, one. Um, yep, when I go to buy shoes.

YaY for nicer weather for Schumi. A holiday day is meant for relaxing. I'm sure there's lots of sales today. Every time we have a holiday where the banks here are closed, lots of sales promos and stores are all mostly open.

Ah, racing towards the summer solstice, sky is cloudy, but bright in the early morning hours. Clouds are not thick, as the ball of sun looks like a blurry, white glowing ball. That low that brought a 60 degree day yesterday, is moving out, and hello afternoon sun. I'll be wearing sunglasses. Yay!

So, with that, make this Monday a good one.

Sending lots of mummy dust and hugs to those homies that need it.

Time for tea, you know me, with ice today.

 

[Monykalyn]

Oh yummy tiramisu! I'm very picky about his - my favorite dessert- and will totally judge a place on this dessert alone.

Also had a DISmeet with @Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina this evening!! So enjoyed meeting her and Steve!! Time just flew! You'd think we were old friends instead of our first time meeting! People on the DIS are special, indeed!!

Been following Ginas TR for a couple years- we always have trips scheduled at opposite times lol!

Yeah sounds about right.
Another nice day bright sunny and warm. Thouht I had work today then looked at my calendar and remembered I had to reschedule a visit to after memeorial day. So day off to get some stuff together for meetings tonight. And oldest is leaving to go back for finals sometimetime today- but she thinks she will be back home by Friday. She's already got some of her "Florida" stuff packed up- guess those boxes will just hang with us in living room til next week (OMG am I really losing her for the summer NEXT WEEK?)

Visitors this am. (Cushions are put away for deck furniture last night optimistically hoping for rain)

 

[Monykalyn]

And they got kicked off as monsters started eating my plants. Cuddle chicken is not happy

 

[Lynne G]

HaHa for the chickens MonyK. I think my neighbor was up early, as heard our neighbor chickens clucking. They don't come out of their pen, but they are spoiled.

More tea needed. And the glorious sun is out, but cool now inside.

I'm so looking forward to this!!

Sounds about right- kids always get more than us on shopping trips!!

Yes- it was so nice that we finally were able to meet up!

Beautiful sunshine this morning! Breakfast at Boma, a little shopping and then packing up for home!!
