Dolewhip is basically soft serve pineapple ice cream-delicious. But our Pineapple whip is gluten/dairy free and basically frozen whipped pineapple-sooo good and refreshing - our family prefers our pineapple whip. He does other flavors too: stby kiwi, mango, grape. It is smooth and creamy like ice cream though
Yep- saw Poseidon Adventure! I have many fears about this cruise! and I'm not a good swimmer like Shelly Winters! Does Amazon sell personal life rafts??
Robo- hope you're enjoying sun and warmth today!
Snow is still gently falling! I'm ready to get out the Christmas decor and sing carols!On the bright side, I've done a lot of online shopping today!
Amazon, Keurig.... and more to go!
Afternoon all!
Lazy day after busy day yesterday and friday-ran all day friday on getting stuff set up for event on Saturday, then from 9-~7:30 Saturday with rest of set up, event and tear down, clean up and returning stuff to various storage units. Another Cajun Cookoff in the books. Preliminary numbers ~$15K in profit. Was cold and wet start to yesterday (swear I saw snow flurries when I peeked outside mid morning). Was in the 70's Friday with temps falling. Back to sunny and warmer days this week.
Baby chicks getting big and sassy. One jumped out of brooder this am when cover not put back in place properly-sitting drinking my coffee in recliner right in front of the tub and suddenly see feathery fuzzy little head bob on by! She's a devil to catch too! So put the sheet down so they could run around a bit-and they promptly jump up on DH and settle down for naps-they always go to person who wants them the least (like cats lol).
Happy Mother's Day to Schumi!! And another short countdown for you until you return to Orlando?
Welcome! We have a pineapple whip truck that opens for a "whipsolstice" in middle of winter (he's seasonal for the summer). First year he did it was only open for a day and long lines all day, now he opens for several days-and still long lines every day lol!
OOH have fun!! The Allure looks like a good ship. I'd like to try a mega ship someday. Our past cruise and upcoming one are on smaller ships. Watch the bar bill-adds up fast. I get the Cheers package on Carnival-saves us money as I do drink the specialty coffees as well. And this way as I am relaxing in adults only area I don't have to worry about what drink I want as I doze listening to the ocean...Are you stopping in Cozumel? What kind of cabin? Our first cruise was in a balcony room, and of course can't do anything else nowWe had a premium internet package last fall, but upcoming I am doing the minimum that will allow social media (and let family contact us that way if needed) and to check in for our flight home.
Our cruise isn't til June. Will be doing a quick stop at Universal for a couple days prior. cruising out of Miami though.
Have booked DH and middle kid a 2 tank dive when we are in Grand Cayman-now they just need (re)certification (re for DH and open water cert for middle kid). Already have our tour in a classic car booked for Havana.
And if RCL allows carry on wine do it!
Hi to all the other peeps!! Hope spring stays around for all of us soon!!
Happy Sunday and I am back in less time than normal... It is rainy here too today. I will take the rain over snow. It was a busy day yesterday out all day running errands and having some fun. We went shoe shopping and found Liv shoes and a purse for her prom dress.
. Now all we have to do is have alterations and cleaning it.
Did some housework have to head off in a bit to bring Liv some food. I told her to grab something for work and she said "no I will be fine". I knew she wouldn't. I am going to do a Taco Bell run for her. I have chili in the crock pot for later tonight.
Finally caught up on the walking dead so ready for tonight's episode, hopefully no more surprises.
I will have Liv this week take a pic with the dress on and show it to you guys. Thanks for all the compliments on it. I told her I posted it here and told her everyone thought it was pretty. She said a lot of the girls at her school are buying more sexy types. Liv is a natural, conservative dresser. I am glad for that. Her dress is perfect for her.
Schumi Happy Mother's Day...I didn't realize that the day was different. It sounds like you had a wonderful day and great gifts. Charlie would like that haunted hotel excursion, he loves that stuff. It sounds like a nice little get away. I am sure your seasonal fish places are amazing
.
Patty. I think cruises are great and one day we will go when it is just the two of us. I don't think Liv would enjoy it. My biggest thing is to have some type of sea sick medicine just in case. If you have an opportunity for a window for fresh air that is great. Believe it or not if you get sea sick drink warm flat coke. It really helps. Your stops sound great. Look forward to a live report. Hope your snow goes away quick
Sue getting the patio furniture ready when it was getting warm was always a good feeling. These days we don't put furniture out in back. I don't like my new neighbors so don't sit out there. We moved it to the front we have a big porch. We will clean it up in a week or two.a count down for your trip too. It sounds like it will be fun and it is a nice time to go. I am with you though I can only swim in the warm weather. Hope your mani and dinner were great last night
Ensusieasm I am in central CT so we kind of get a weird weather pattern here. I have been here my whole life but next year is hopefully the one we move down south to Florida. We have been to Maine several times for vacation, beautiful place but the winter is too long for me. I am a long summer girl. Our seasonal ice cream place just open and that is always a sure sign spring has sprung. Glad you joined us.
Charade LOL we have some that like the vacuum and some that don't. The trip is coming up
Robo
Mac I hope the kitties let you sleep more
Keishadow I love when I find a treasure like that in the freezer. It is one of my favorites. You got more than me done spring cleaning. I had such motivation this morning then fizzled out. I miss hanging my laundry no luck to put a line here plus neighbors like to build smelly fires. I hope your turkey dinner came out good.
Lynne I love the pic of your daffodil. We have a park down the street that has a daffodil festival and plants hundreds of them in the park. It is so pretty. We use to go to the festival and march when Liv was in middle school. Now it is too expensive to spend a day there. Oh I love a cup of tea in the morning. I hope you got some things done before the mom alarm
Monykalyn Congrats on the fundraiser. It sounds like a delicious one. Oh I love hearing the chick antics, they sound so cute. I am glad they are bringing happiness into your home. Your Universal and cruise trip sounds awesome!
.....lol.....well, he`s having steak, I`m making spicy lemon and ginger chicken stir fry for me......no one else likes it and I love it, so Tom can cook his steak and I`ll do mine...…
... It is a cold start to here to today but at least no frost on the windshield. I had my first April Fool's joke go off. I told Charlie he had rips in the seat of his pants. He was frantic looking for them then I told him. He was a little salty with me. I still have to get Liv today, not sure how though.
.
I hope you come back and chat again sometime!! . I take out recipes to try look at the ingredients and the prep time and say "nah another day". I really need to start making some different things getting bored of the same thing.
After watching the movie that used to be in the Norway pavilion at EPCOT, I've wanted to visit Norway someday!
The sun is shining and everything will melt by tomorrow though!
Robo- hope you're enjoying sun and warmth today!

snow....glad you have a cruise to look forward to soon. It was in the 30s here this week after highs in the 70s.
to Tink's DS. Sounds like a nice dinner and to celebrate with a friend.
Nothing is better than a home-cooked meal!! Yum on lasagna! Quick dinner later and then off to check on my sister's cats. She returns Wednesday. They're in St. Lucia! So lovely! I sent her pictures of her house with snow! At least it'll be gone when she gets home!
Very cool!!
I browse hello fresh or one of those sights for ideas
You wanted chick pics - prepare yourself. Now have Charlie (cuddles) asleep on me and other too dozing on leg. Typing one thumbed on phone as can’t disturb sleeping babies
Countdown 3 weeks
We're looking for any tips from cruise veterans!
And I purchased the internet package- hoping to do a live report on the Royal Caribbean board!
Yes- we'll be flying home from Ft. Lauderdale 4/21. So sad we'll miss you! We'll meet up soon though!
7 night Western Caribbean
Love it!
Happy Mother's Day, Schumi!!
Busy Sunday- lots of tasks and errands! Hmm.. maybe we'll do some outside spring cleanup on the yard-
Wait. where's the yard!Somewhere beneath the SNOW that fell overnight!

Sadly, this is no April Fool's trick- it's real!!
when doused in pineapple juice. I prefer to go rogue and do the vanilla, it’s a bit of overkill when mixed with the juice. All of their products are dairy free and described as dessert vs ice cream. I don’t care what they call it, just happy I can eat it without tummy trouble
Happy Monday Morning
I have chiropractor again today. I tried to skip a week but not feeling to good. I am hoping it gets better, he is not covered with my insurance.
I enjoyed taking care of my friend's cats even if it is a little time consuming. I went to visit her this weekend and she was happy with my care. She paid me and brought back some souvenirs from Norway. She did a northern lights cruise.
Chili came out good and everyone was happy. I watched the walking dead and thought it was a good way to end the season. I don't like big cliff hangers to wait for.
I talked with the adviser on the trip this weekend. She is going to go Friday night then leave. She went over with me what we have to do, it is a little less then I thought but still have to be there and be responsible. She said Brian and the teens can take an Uber from the train station to the hotel. I will have the luggage with me and Charlie. There is a new MGM casino that opened up down the street from the hotel. I am hoping to try to get over there Saturday night to see it. This was the original plan before we got stuck with everything. Of course it is appreciated so I do it for the teens. Thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes on this one.
Lynne great pic of her in the dress. I love the color and style. It looks great on her. When I start seeing these teens in dresses talking about senior prom and graduation I am starting to have a panic attack. It is getting real very fast.
Monykalyn I can't wait for the chick pics
crostorfor
Schumigirl Glad Kyle is enjoying his time in Scotland. Your dinner menu always sounds so good
Mac I hoped you liked the walking dead
I am off to get ready have a great day everyone
Good morning
Enjoying a few days off after a busy week and playing catchup here...
Belated Happy Mother's Day to Carole.
Love the little ones dress Lynne, she looks beautiful.
Bobbie...hope you're feeling better and can enjoy some casino time between your chaperone duties next week.
Patty...
Monyk...looking forward to more chicken pics. I never know they had such personalities until your posts.
Robo...thanks for the sunshine...we should have temps in the 70s by the end of the week but the heat is on today.
Mac, I fell asleep briefly during TWD and again when talking dead was on...woke up at 3:30 and watched again to see what I missed. One of these days I'll stay awake for a whole episode. Loved the icicle scene.
Hi to Sue, Janet, agavegirl, squirlz, buck, charade, ckmiles and all our homies.
Time to get going with the housework since Trey and his friend Austin are coming for his birthday dinner tonight. He has requested lasagna....I offered to take him out to eat or the home cooked meal of his choice.
Have a great day everyone
So, how close are those two birthdays?
So cute! They’re pets! Getting big fast.Very cool!!
