Something About Nothing ... #12

Little one having fun at the zoo’s new climbing and gliding set. Yep, second picture is little one gliding. What form? LOL.

Have to see if little one has any pictures to share.

From little one.

Cute birds


Pedal that swan around the lake


Love this guy, first time we have seen him on ground. After picture, promptly flew away, up very high.

TGIF! Ugh glad today is over. Ran out of color ink on my portable printer-boss usually supplies-but I kinda ignored the "low ink" warning for too long. In Branson, so thought it would be a simple lunchtime errand-nope-not a single store nearby carries that particular cartridge! And it won't print without the color ink (or so I thought) even though printing reports in black and white. After all that running around and getting desperate get back to desk and actually READ the warning. There is an override button on the printer to just print B&W

We had Liv's senior awards night last night and it was good.

YAY Liv!! I am afraid to check the Boy's grades...

I lost a friend from Passporter board in that Joplin T5. Awful

OH how awful! Yes that was a devastating tornado. So many things failed and so many sad stories. Our hospital was, of course, on the ground with trauma and rescue teams immediately (only an hour away), so heard lots of sad and horror stories. Round the clock counselors available to anyone who needed them. Graduation was going on when the tornado hit, and lets just say, I still hug my kids extra tight...

Y’all aren’t going to believe this. Dh has been called for jury duty. Guess when.

um NO-but seriously any news? surely there is an exception for planned and paid for vacations!

I better get an A+ on today’s test

Hope you aced the test!

Here's our view this morning:

Very nice!!

Pick up the car tomorrow

OOOOH finally here!!!

Some time to kill before B goes to her very last dance class. Next weekend is recital.

We all went out to lunch today. B had been out of school for maybe 30 minutes and we ran into her English teacher at the restaurant.

Sounds like our town lol!

Little one having fun at the zoo’s new climbing and gliding set.

That looks really fun!!

Oldest DD currently with her chicken on her. She leaves Sunday so getting in all the chicken cuddles she can.
DH just asked if he should cash out points for a disney gift card...umm you do know we aren't going to Disney right? No problem will just save them up he said...wonder what he is plotting...

Kids did some shopping today, swim suits and some shorts. Oldest DD is user on my CC, they did really well actually. Still need some shoes, may do that Sunday afternoon.

Thought I had a brisket in freezer- turns out I have piles and piles of ribs-the ribs have been a special add on with the meat packages from the farmer market place I go to. So they are thawed and awaiting the rub before low and slow cooking tomorrow. Doing the BBQ feast saturday, so DD can have it, and I work Monday anyway-and only 2 days of work left woohoo!

Kesha, and tink and Robo and everyone else I've missed!

 

[Charade67]

um NO-but seriously any news? surely there is an exception for planned and paid for vacations!

Oops, thought I had posted this already. Dh went to the courthouse today and, yes, there is an exception for a planned vacation. He may hear from them again in July though.

Lynne - The glider is freaking me out. B would love it though.

 

[tink1957]

Hot night here in GA...92 when I was coming home from work at 7...sitting on the couch watching the Braves game and doing as little as possible.

Love the pic of B leaving Charade...I have a similar one of Trey on graduation day that I treasure.

Carole..glad you made it home with no jet lag and yay for the new car.

Patty...awesome view...hope you all have a great graduation celebration.

Mac...hoping everything went well with your tests today.

Nice pics Lynne...haven't been in a paddle boat for ages...probably couldn't get out of one now

Your bbq sounds great monyk...have fun.

Janet, hope your birthday celebration goes well and you all have a wonderful weekend.

Hi to Robo, Sue, Pooh, Bobbie and anyone else who is reading along...have a great night

 

[macraven]

Vicki
And it will be stinking hot for weeks

Do you have ac?

 

[tink1957]

Vicki
And it will be stinking hot for weeks

Do you have ac?

I couldn't live here without it after being in the heat all day at work I have to cool off somehow.

How hot will it be in July and August if it's this hot now? I shudder to think

 

[macraven]

Remember 2016?

Hot from spring to autumn

 

[schumigirl]

MonyK......printers are just a nightmare at times!! Glad it’s not just us! We’ve gone through 4 in around 2 years.....yay for the trip around the corner........sounds like a lovely trip........and enjoy those ribs........love ribs!!!

Charade, glad the jury duty worked out for you......always at the wrong time!!!

Thanks Vicki......this is the best we’ve ever been coming home from a trip.......and yes, excited for the car today! Although rain forecast next couple of days......typical! Glad you had a quiet evening........that is hot!!!

mac.......sounds like you are hot hot hot there too......one of my friends sons is going to Atlanta for his best friends wedding in a week or so......he’s never been to that part of America and loves cold hobbies like skiing and snow boarding......think he’s going to hate the weather!!!



Slept fabulous again last night........except for a tight neck and shoulder where I must have just laid on one side and not moved for hours!

Just waiting on car picking us up and then drive to the dealership......should be here soon.....early breakfast this morning!

Hope everyone has a great Saturday.........

 

[Sue M]

Lynne great pics!

Charade yay he is getting out of jury duty for vacay!

Monykalyn we have a freezer full of back ribs too. And that’s my fav way of having them, with a dry rub. The Mr has perfected the slow cooking on the bbq. We’re having a bbq tomorrow as well, for my birthday! But doing burgers.
I bet you are glad Friday is done, sounds like a stressful work day.

Tink stay cool! Seems to get hotter every year around here. Forest fires already starting. And it’s not even a June yet. Today and tomorrow are cooler and rainy so guess that will help slow down fires. But Sunday the sun returns.

Schumi by now you probably got home with the new vehicle! Congrats.

Mac, I hope your test results were good.

I didn’t get any housecleaning done today Daughter wanted to go for a coffee at Starbucks. Then I wanted to go to LensCrafters at the mall. I no longer need distance correction, only reading so I wanted them to take out the rx lenses of my sunglasses and but back in the non Rx tinted lenses. I may have gone into Sephora too. One of the Tarte mascaras was 50% off. And while there also picked up some brow stuff. I’m trying the Anastasia brand brow stuff. I like the ones that have a tiny mascara like brush. I used to like Benefit but they changed the formula.

Tomorrow morning I’ll have to get it done. Then daughters are taking me to see Aladdin matinee, and then bbq.

We’re having a bbq tomorrow as well, for my birthday! But doing burgers..

I find it tedious to quote people when using the iPhone

But it can be done if need be

Wanted to zero in that it is Sue birthday tomorrow

In case there’s a oops when the Disboards go back up and it’s delayed, wanted to say in advance

Don’t want to be late for your special day

early to youse !


Is for you..

 

[macraven]

I woke up early this morning at 5:55
Cats were hungry

I played possum so Mr Mac got up to feed them

He thinks I’m still sleeping as he went to lay down on the living room couch so I could sleep

He is a keeper

Have a great weekend homies!
And have a fun 3 day weekend
Majority of people off work Monday

 

[Lynne G]

Saturday it is, and the sun has been streaming in the windows since dawn.

Lazy day for us. Little one went to a bonfire last night. Did not hear her come home. As usual, the only ones up are me and DH. Kids are good sleepers.

A big Happy Birthday to Sue. Sounds like a fun day, to see the movie.

Just got tickets to see The Lion King on broadway. Happy they arrived on plenty of time.

MonyK, yum, ribs. Our holiday meal is hotdogs, burgers and bbq chicken. I like it when the men tend the grill.

Tink, we don’t get the 3 words: hazy, hot, and humid, until later in the summer, or tomorrow for example. But we are very much enjoying the 80’s right now for these 2 days. And hehe, DH asked, was that the air on last night. Why ya it was,
I don’t want to sweat overnight.

With that, Schumi hopefully is smiling in her new car, Mac gets a quiet morning, and Monyk is slow cooking those ribs.

Awesome Saturday to you all. Robo, hope this finds you well, and Keisha, gets to make some more tickers. Busy homies.

Oh yes time for tea. Quite lovely, I’d say.

 

[Monykalyn]

Out on deck lovely morning (except for neighbor that’s getting a new roof since 7 am!). And yes Ellie (aka Monster or Diva) decided to come up for a nap. Looks like there was a pecking war last night- she’s got a fresh scab on the comb.

Happy birthday to Sue! House cleaning will be there whenever. Sounds like more fun day shopping anyway

Lion King was phenomenal Lynne! Hope you enjoy! We’ve also had the AC on even though nights are cooler, allergies easier to manage.


And it’s car pick up day for Carole!

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all, woke up few hours ago and it was 70+ degrees & dewpoint in mid 60’s. Supposed to wind up in upper 80’s whee...ceiling fans don’t fail me now!

Need to pick up a gas grill & Some patio chairs @ Loews, first being a BD present for jr...the 2nd he asked we grab for him as his car’s trunk is so small. Every now & then the mr’s truck comes in handy.

Plan on playing hippo in my pool this afternoon if showers hold off, then BBQ the mr’s 2 # lobster tail on grill. Bit nervous, never cooked one quite that large. I wrap in foil and do a butter/seasoning coating method. Will be watching it closely lol

Sue

Sue, was said average to slightly above average, whatever that means. The only 2 times I was in FLA during a hurricane was beginning of October and third week in December, never when we went end of August. Go figure.

That is one cool looking zoo! Weathered what they called a miss in the RPH few years back. The swaying palm tree outside our window was enough to convince me I didn’t want to go thru a real hit.

OH how awful! Yes that was a devastating tornado. So many things failed and so many sad stories. Our hospital was, of course, on the ground with trauma and rescue teams immediately (only an hour away), so heard lots of sad and horror stories. Round the clock counselors available to anyone who needed them. Graduation was going on when the tornado hit, and lets just say, I still hug my kids extra tight..

Oh my, that is scary indeed

I woke up early this morning at 5:55

my guy doing a tap dance on my chest a bit later, groan. Triple 5’s eh? I’d be running to play that number

 

[macraven]

Wanted to zero in that it is Sue’s birthday tomorrow

In case there’s a oops when the Disboards go back up and it’s delayed, wanted to get Sue’s bd wishes in for Sunday

early to youse !


Is for you..

Hope no delays in the boards coming back up later tonight

Still have 3 hours before they go down today

 

[pattyw]

B leaving her high school for the last time.

Nie picture!

Ooooh, need a mini review on both the meal experience & the Swan. Have only done the Dolphin when we can’t get into BWV. Think it’s great despite the fees, but do like how non valet parking is closer to the Swan which seems to offer a less frentic lobby too...enjoy!

Will do! I'm thinking of doing a TR! The Imagineer lunch was fabulous!! We were in the Bamboo room at the Brown Derby. It was 10 people total so a nice intimate group!! We had interesting discussions during lunch! The lunch was delicious. I'll post some food porn pics!!

The Swan is amazing!! We haven't stayed here in years. We were Disney resort people. But recently, we've been staying at the Hard Rock and coming to Disney for day trips. We decided to try the Swan! Marriott points now so a bonus!! The hotel is lovely, staff has been impeccable!! Got spoiled by the HRH staff- they truly impressed us here. Everyone is nice, efficient, and always stop to talk and help!! We will definitely stay here again! And the rates are a fraction of the deluxe around us- Yacht, Beach, Boardwalk.

Little one having fun at the zoo’s new climbing and gliding set. Yep, second picture is little one gliding. What form? LOL.

Love it!! Go DD!!

Pedal that swan around the lake

Nice pic of mom and daughter!

wonder what he is plotting...

DH is definitely planning something-a Disney trip??!!!

yes, there is an exception for a planned vacation. He may hear from them again in July though.

Great news!

.hope you all have a great graduation celebration.

Thank you!

Hot from spring to autumn

Sounds heavenly!

Just waiting on car picking us up and then drive to the dealership......should be here soon.....early breakfast this morning!

Enjoy!

Then daughters are taking me to see Aladdin matinee, and then bbq.

Enjoy Sue!!

Plan on playing hippo in my pool this afternoon if showers hold off, then BBQ the mr’s 2 # lobster tail on grill

Sounds great!!

Hi all!! Checking in from the sun!! HOT, HOT, HOT!! No rain in sight! So happy to be here! It's 60 and raining at home today!!

 

[pattyw]

Here's a pic of the Swan:

So lovely here!






Kyle is on his way up for the next two days!!! Erin has to work. It will be a treat to have the four of us together for a bit!!

Have a great day all!!

 

[Sue M]

Thanks to everyone for the Birthday Wishes!

Mac that’s hilarious, playing possum. I may have played that card too, lol! When dogs woke up early wanting to go out

Lynne we saw Lion King when it came here. Great show!

Keishashadow hippo in pool Enjoy the lobster yum! Love the GIF!

Pattyw nice pics! When I plan next WDW trip will have to look at rates. Even with the $30 resort fee you figured you saved over cost of YC/BC? Do you get special rates? I used to be eligible for their educator rate, but have retired.
Glad you enjoyed the imagineer lunch.
I read an article on Swolfin. Said they put Swan and Dolphin on wrong buildings. Which makes sense when you look at the buildings. Swan is on the one with waves on building and shell! It should be a dolphin!

Monykalyn your chickens are so entertaining! Do they all have deck access to visit when they want?

 

[Lynne G]

Well, just hoping the boards come back quick. Without issue.

Nice day, grocery shopping and bought new hot water heater and new sink for one of our bathrooms. Never a dull day, when putting money into the house.

It is Chinese for dinner or not question. Most of the time, it is our Saturday night meal. Have to ask the kids.
