Have a great night all!! Good night!

I used to work in Delray Beach.Took the scenic route home...(DelRay Beach
You bettcha! RPH. First stay here. We’ve stayed at PBH & HRH, so this is the last of the 3 to try. Looking forward to it. 41 days, but who’s counting!Are you staying onsite at Universal after your stay at Deerfield beach?
We were only there for a very brief time, but it looks beautiful. I did notice quite a few buildings with what appeared to be hurricane damage though, but lots of construction/repairs taking place. I was hoping to take in a spring training game or two, but my ‘Stros were off that day, (plus, I had a date with a certain steak at Epcot!)I used to work in Delray Beach.

May do Mardi Gras again tonight.......we bought the tasting lanyard and 15 items for $50 or so.......it doesn’t include the twisted tator thing........the poor TM kept having to tell everyone it wasn’t included as it doesn’t say it’s not when you purchase......no big deal to us, but it might bother some folks.
Then Mall at Millenia where I did get a new bag..........love it!! And Longhorn Steakhouse then StrongWater Bar......it was a lovely day..........
Happy Pi Day! Those cats just do what they want don’t they!I’ll be making apple pi later today.
Cat woke me up at 3:30 and now has disappeared. I’m going to try to go back to sleep.
Yay weather is warming up for you! I love it when I get a good T-Storm when I’m on the east coast. We just don’t get many on west coast, and they aren’t as grand either!Oh Charade, if it's not kids, it's pets. Hope you got right back to sleep, deep sleep.
Well, it's a Thursday, and guess many are teleworking or other, so commute was one of the fastest I have had that is not a Friday. And speaking of Friday, worked enough hours, three day week-end for me. Yay!
So, what a 10 degree difference makes. 40 degrees said the car. And, it feels so much nicer than yesterday's start. Very dark out, with a not as vivid, thin reddish horizon. Sun and clouds today, with chances of rain. Thankful that large weather system coming from the West, will only bring us rain. At least, so far, the daylight times today and tomorrow, it's the roulette who gets a rain shower. Then, Friday night, the large amount of rain, with some thunderstorms in there, will mean we'll be rocking and rolling. That's fine. No need to be out Friday night. But, as any weather system on the move, By Saturday, will be in the more seasonable 50's, as highs, and at least a 3 day period of quiet. Ah, a week-end without rain, thankfully not the norm.
View attachment 388063 With that, tea is still needed, and ooh, Little Bites chocolate brownies. Yep, goes good with tea. I did bring a bag of instant oatmeal, but eh, maybe later.
View attachment 388064 - yep, have a terrific day.
And wahoo for Buckeev, car for kid, and off to Vegas.
Yay for new bag! Last time I was in Disneyland, California Adventure had a food thing gong on and my friend and I got the tasting lanyard thing, it was fun. I’ve never tried King Cake. Going to have to look up what it is!Good morningAnother quick drive by........
Looks to be a hot one today.......we haven’t decided yet whether to go do the parks or head off somewhere.......will decide after breakfast.......

We did try a few things and all were nice.......haven’t tried King Cake yet.......not sure it appeals very much!
Went to IOA yesterday and saw the construction for the new coaster and how much they have rippped up out front as you look over the lagoon!!
Then Mall at Millenia where I did get a new bag..........love it!! And Longhorn Steakhouse then StrongWater Bar......it was a lovely day..........
Heading over to RP for breakfast in lounge soon........getting peckish........
Have a great Thursday..........
I love drives along A1A! In Deerfield there’s a restaurant we love to go to n US1 on intercostal and sitting outside on the dock watching the boats cruise by. It’s also near the drawbridge. Two George’s. In the summer they run a $16 Lobster dinner! Whole lobster.Morning Sans family
Had a nice day yesterday. Hubby and I drove North along A1A for a spell then went across the causeway to US 1 and had lunch on the intercostal waterway at Squid lips in Sebastian. It’s a restaurant and bar that is on a pier. They have the best burgers and fried clams.
I’am finishing up some plans for a trip with my granddaughter and we will be there for a few days during that time. Would be nice to say howdy to one another if time permits.
Hi everybody
I had to call out from work today due to a bad starter in my car ....almost didn't make it home yesterday when I tried to crank it after work. Luckily, I was helped by a coworker who is a mechanic and a good samaritan who got it cranked so I could get home.
My ex is now putting on the new one no thanks to FedEx who delivered it to the next door neighborI saw the truck go down the road and then checked the delivery status which said it had been delivered to the garage....I do not have a garage so I went to one neighbors house where I saw the truck..not there...luckily it was at the house across the street sitting on the ground at the garage door...FedEx is awful in my area. I called autozone and let them know my displeasure.
Charade...I feel your pain on the sleepless night...I had a hard time sleeping last night due to the car stress.
Glad to see Carole is still enjoying her trip.
Sue...I think we will be there at the same time in September...the 10th thru the 17th at the darkside and 17th - 19th at WDW. Hope we can meet up. I have met some wonderful friends over the years.
Hope everyone has a fantastic day![]()
Hey, Keisha has popped up. LOL No, no registrations here, though the girls via media keep track of who has what. What she bought I don't think would be formal wear. And eeww, if that's what the girls do. As I think I said, mine wants nothing to do with a ball gown. So, if anything, both are nice, and what I would say, more like dressy cocktail. I thought she'd be more "prom" looking, but she's not one to be showy, well, except for wearing my jewelry.
Sunny, most of the day, but the clouds have started to appear.
Yay! Patty will be airborne again, soon. And so will Charade. Wow, that's a quick trip, and bits of park time. Oh well, road trip. Where I live, it's about an 18 hour ride, with rest stops and gas. I swore, unless I can't afford, always going to fly since the one time, DH and I went, and left 6am in the morning, both ways, driving straight through each way, as well. Never my idea of fun. LOL
![]()
We are going by bus. Doesn’t that sound like fun? 12 hours on a bus full of high school students? I’m probably insane.
I usually don’t mind driving as long as it’s just the family.
I called today and B’s prom dress should be here early next week. She will be relieved to hear that.
I confess- I am one of those Clorox/Wet Ones carrying people who wipe down airplane tray tables, etc. and I use them all the time at work!
No gator for me! Kyle tried gator bites in Florida- he liked them. Maybe they're good but just the thought makes me gag!
Good idea! I'm sure it will be crazy!! We stayed away from Universal for a few years when Harry Potter first opened!
Same here!! We did the drive a few times last year with the kids moving- exhausting!! Couldn't do it for a vacation. For us it is 24 DRIVING hours!! Eek!!
Will do!!
Sounds heavenly! I'm vacuuming so my little darlings are hidden away- they come out when I turn the vacuum off and glare at me! I'm interrupting nap time!
Ok- back to the vacuum!!
Lynne 20’s ugh. There’d be more than a brrr coming out of my mouth! Lol. Do you have a holiday making it a long weekend?
Bobbie sorry you weren’t feeling well. How sweet Charlie wants to go prom shopping! I love the cran-raisins in oatmeal cookies. I have to say they came out well. I used the recipe from Joy of Cooking. Husband asked why I didn’t make a double batchI tend to make large cookies so they’re aren’t as many.
Robo lol. Eggs are sides for bacon! Love it. But no bacon for me this morning. Just English muffins toasted and marmalade. Coffee goes without saying.
Wish I was on Deerfield Beach now having a nice walk along the ocean. Soon! Already have a Cracker Barrel date with my cousin while I’m down! And looking forward to some Indian River O.J!
I had a knee replacement on one knee. So glad my other one is good! Brutal surgery.
Lynne they were waiting for you to come home to cook them dinnerLol! Good thing mine can all cook!
Patty yay! Won’t be long! I wish I was close enough to drop in for a short trip! I could use a short blast right about now
Charade sounds like a busy but fun trip! Hope you have help driving! Eek, April 6 is really early for prom! Hope dress arrives soon!
Keishashadow Bloody Mary Breakfast sounds good too! Lol! We have Caesar’s here. It’s a Bloody Mary made with Clamato and same seasonings. But when in the US Bloody Mary will do! I haven’t had a problem with my roller carry on with Alaska.
Haha, I’m that person who carries wipes! Yup. I wipe down everything cause the probability of airline cleaning crew doing it before you board is zero!
TWD, yup, saw it coming. I record it then watch so I can FF thru commercials.
Charade I’d call guest services or ticket phone line for SW reservation. It sounds like maybe a good thing? At least have a chance of getting in. Our dates are past reservation thing so guess it’s going to be a free for all at rope dropShould be interesting.
Schumi is having a great day I’m sure!
This morning was bread day at church, bagging for food bank. In an hour have doc appt to get X-ray results for hip. Arthritis. Ugh. Going to make a quick bite for lunch then take off for appt.
happy hump day Sans!
My birthday! May 25
We’re back!
Took the scenic route home...(DelRay Beach, West Palm Beach, YeeHaw Junction, China, Canada, Japan, Great Britain...Minionville, San Francisco, Toothsome Town.....)...dragging here today!
Caught the “Journey” concert one night...pretty darn good actually!
Got to Fort Lauderdale, signed the papers for the New VW for our “Baby”, and were on our way within a couple of hours! The car is absolutely beautiful...and she LOVES IT! (What program is the one we use here to reduce pics?)
Not much time to get caught up...11 days ‘till Vegas!

Will be nice to hear your opinion on the food options. My sister bought that lanyard for her and the family and they were very pleased with what they got.
You can never go wrong with a shopping trip to Mall at Millenia.....a new bag is always a treat.....I think you are responsible for turning many folks (including myself) onto the Mall at Millenia from your trip reports.
So nice to hear you are having a great time.
Morning Lynne. Hopefully it will warm up soon in your neck of the woods soon.
MorningCharade.....Happy PI Day to you too.
Have a great day everyone.

Oooh...that sounds interesting.we bought the tasting lanyard and 15 items for $50 or so....
I have never tried King cake either. There is a local bakery here that will make then, but they sell out really fast.We did try a few things and all were nice.......haven’t tried King Cake yet.......not sure it appeals very much!
I used to try to avoid those roads when Ali lived in the area. A1A was often crowded. I remember a stretch of US 1 that had some rather interesting motels.Had a nice day yesterday. Hubby and I drove North along A1A for a spell then went across the causeway to US 1 and had lunch on the intercostal waterway at Squid lips in Sebastian. It’s a restaurant and bar that is on a pier. They have the best burgers and fried clams.
Car problems, yuck. Thank goodness for kind coworkers.I had to call out from work today due to a bad starter in my car ....almost didn't make it home yesterday when I tried to crank it after work.

We don’t let Caspian in the bedroom at night, but he will scratch on the door and meow. I wish we had a way to close off the hallway.Charade- Happy Pi Day!! Sorry kitty woke you up! We don't let ours in the bedrooms and close off the hallway at night so they can't wake us! We do still hear them if they knock something over or fight with each other- yes always about 3am!!![]()
I hope your flight isn’t cancelled. I’m surprised I haven’t heard about this. One of my high school classmates is a flight attendant for Southwest and she is always posting about work.Hoping our flights to Orlando don't get canceled Saturday!We fly Southwest and they are affected by the planes grounded.
Apple pi in the oven right now.Pi, did i hear Pi?
The optimist in me hopes that the kids will sleep since they have to perform when they get to Orlando. The realist in me is prepared for that not to happen.You might want to look into noise cancelling headphones
