Thanks Mac....I’am enjoying it.




You have beautiful thick hair.




I have found a place locally here that carries a nice elastic that comes from France. It is more comfortable to the ear. It is sold by the yard and is very reasonable. I ordered some Hedwig material for masks.




Good to see you post Disxumi





Looks good.




Great to hear your hubby is negative.





I had my first beignet in New Orleans at Cafe Monde in the late 80’s. They are served warm and they were delicious. They melted in your mouth.

Hubby and I were sitting there having our coffee and beignets and Paul Prudhomme (he was a chef who was on TV years ago. He was from Louisiana and was known for his Cajun creole cuisine) came riding by on his motor scooter and he was so big you could only see a portion of the wheels as he drove by. A guy walked by and said “Paul got that big eating to many beignets”....we looked at each other and put our beignets down for a minute....LOL.

I bought some of the mix and tried it at home and it didn’t taste the same.




Wow....looks great.




Yep...just when the meat at the stores here locally were being stocked nicely people started panic buying again too.




There is a great pizza place around here that has a pizza called the “The Cryin Hawaiian” it has ham, pineapple. Jalapeños and a spicy sauce. It is delicious.




Good to see you post Monykalyn . Cute new baby chicks.




Prayers for your family Schumi that they get well soon.




What a lovely gift. It was so nice that your friend in Orlando wanted to make sure you were able to enjoy some nice rums to mix your cocktails with.




Congratulations to your son.

Sorry to hear your brother will not be able to celebrate his reception.




Wow....that shortbread looks delicious.




Glad to hear your recovering well.




Weather here has been warm and sunny, but after today we are going back into the low 60’s.







Shout out to Tink, Pattyw, Squirlz, and all the Sans family


Weather has been so nice here the last couple of days. Hubby and I went for a ride in his convertible on Saturday. Enjoyed the sun and the cruise.

Weather is going to start getting cooler tomorrow.

Have been doing a little work in the sunken garden, making masks and doing some much needed housework. Finally went up to my office to do some much needed filing of paperwork that’s piled on my desk.

My project today is to clean guest rooms upstairs.

It was in the newspaper here Friday that the Governor is going to start opening things in stages. We will see how things works out.

My prayer for you all is that you and your family are healthy and you have all you need to stay comfy at home.

Have a great Monday Sans family.

That pizza sounds really good!!!

Hi everyone!

It is amazing how many pages add up here when I don't check daily!

Well our Gov. finally called it on Friday....no school for the remainder of the academic year. No clue what summer will bring.

Anyone seen the HBO movie "Bad Education" starring Hugh Jackman? I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but I want to see it. Roslyn Schools are the neighboring district of where I currently work now so it hit really close to home.

Hi Mac!!!

 

[agavegirl1]

Hi Mac. I am doing my usual harvesting cartoons from every site I'm on....mind if I share some?

 

[macraven]

Share them

no nudes in them I hope....

Ah yes, a Tuesday is here! Taco Tuesday,



Yay, see today is the day Mac does her Taco Bell run. So all, get a taco today, maybe even two. Not sure we will. Little one, yesterday, made chicken tacos for us. They were perfect and so tasty. I assume though, today lunch may be Taco Bell or that chicken place. Got a coupon for free fries from that chicken place , so extra fries are always happily enjoyed by the men in our home.

With that, maybe some Harvest Moon from Agavegirl, I would enjoy seeing some of your pix.

And yeah, Kfish, our state said no school the remainder of this school year weeks ago. And our kids go until the third week in June. My kids work at a summer camp. While the did get their contracts, it will be interesting to see if it does go the 8 weeks over the summer, with usually a waiting list. Little one wanted to do a quick trip before going back to college, but I may cancel our Portofino reservation and maybe just do a more local quicker trip. Will have to see how much is open, where, and how much we feel comfortable about traveling.

Time for tea, oh yeah oh yeah. Light enough out and all I heard from the weather lady was unseasonably cold and cold rainy day. Did not catch which day that is, but ugh, I am tired of hearing unseasonably colder temps that has been the forecast for months now. Oddly though, cold rain and very little snow was our winter. No bone chilling single digit temps that we had last year, in that end of winter. Here is hoping our end of May is like the year we needed the AC on.

Happy Taco Tuesday homies. Have a terrific day.

The one I ordered is a Kitchen Aid. I'm getting a blue one - my favorite color.

Mine is contour silver, my KA things are either black or silver, but they don't sit on the worktops so it doesn`t matter, they get put in cabinets when I`m not using them. Although I do have a gorgeous purply coloured can opener and bottle opener.




Gorgeous day here....sun is shining and it`s quite mild with a little breeze so lots of laundry out and drying outside.

Just back in a walk, all three of us went today as Kyle is off work on vacation this week. Kyle hasn't been for a walk with us (excluding Orlando) for a long time......so it was just lovely having him with us today. Although they do like to make fun of me when something rustles in the bushes and I get alarmed....well, they think it`s funny

No deer sightings today but we did see a family of foxes ramble by us.....they didn't see to mind us being there and contrary to opinion, they weren't vicious or alarming.

Shrimp salad sandwiches today for lunch (ham for Kyle) and peppered chicken for dinner tonight.....maybe mini roasted potatoes to go with it, they prefer that with this dish with some veg of some kind.

Kyle is asking for flourless chocolate cake this week, so will maybe make that tomorrow.....

Happy Tuesday....it may be another National Day, but it is National Astronaut Day........

All I know if that if it's true if CW is partially open I'm still staying far away. I'll let everyone else test the waters first.

My dad found out Aunt Catfish's was going to be open this Sunday for brunch, I was like, "Heck no." We just barely opened, everything isn't 100%, and you wanna go to a buffet? No, thanks.

Hope all the homies stay safe and have an amazing Taco Tuesday! Oh yeah, and it's Cinco De Mayo, I forgot!

 

[schumigirl]

Just spoke very briefly to another human being......albeit about 100 feet away.....well, waved really!

Our gardener turned up as he works on his own and had checked if he could work legally and was told yes, he can. We were still paying him anyway, but it was nice to wave to him as he began pootling around....but, I’m glad he’s able to carry on working. I don’t have a clue......I wish I was good at gardening but neither of us are.

Think he’s also going to redo the gazebo with wood preserve at some point, the stuff is all in Tom’s man cave down there.....he’s a gem.

Most of my washing is all dry and now ready to be ironed. Just waiting for the whites to dry.......

Time for a mug of tea........

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, it is hence bonus Taco Tuesday, Dix. I hear ya, no buffets for me, and most I don’t go to, even when not because of this virus. Hope wherever you go out to eat will be safe and tasty.

Nice to say hello, even from afar, Schumi. I like to garden, but easy plants are my favorite. Lots of bulbs I don’t have to tend to much. My neighbors will wave when all are at their yards or walking by on the sidewalks. Feels a bit more normal.

Ooh sun is shining. Hope that means that cool rainy day is not today.

 

[mckennarose]

Morning homies,
Hope everyone had a great weekend! We enjoyed the warmer weather, made beautiful ribeyes we got at the butcher shop, did some garden work and then celebrated May the Fourth yesterday. I finally got to wear my new Star Wars tshirt that I was supposed to be wearing on our trip this month. We would've been leaving in 10 days.

The weather is much colder today, only 39 right now. Brrr....

Thanks for the well wishes for my youngest dd and the people at her job with the virus. They have another case, but we don't know who it is yet.

My eldest was working from home, got called into the office yesterday and they later found out one of the other employees was out with a fever of 101. She got sent for testing and they're waiting for the results. In the meantime, everyone who was around that girl is understandably nervous. My dd was not around her and they cleaned the office so fingers crossed! Part of the issue is that they are trying to open too quickly and bring most staff back when we still have rising cases here. Things are getting better, but we're still a hotspot.

This is so weird... a friend's employer's son has the virus and the first symptoms he got were an earache and a rash on his toes. I swear this virus is so strange and getting stranger. This is the first real-life person I've heard of who has "covid toe" other than what we've seen on the news.

My youngest finished her last exam, so officially done. It's very anticlimactic. We're trying to figure out something special to mark her college graduation since they are not having any commencement. Our FL trip was supposed to be her celebration and we were bringing her boyfriend who is also graduating. She loves Ohana and we had reservations for one night but I'm going to try to recreate some of their recipes here to surprise her. I ordered balloons for a giant balloon column/arch, a bunch of palm leaves and hibiscus flowers to jazz it up.

We found out our doctor is going to be starting antibody testing so hubby and I are going next week.

Congratulations to the high school graduates, the college kids finishing up, and everything else I've missed the past few days! Oh, and Schumi you can send me some of those shortbreads!

Hi Mac. I am doing my usual harvesting cartoons from every site I'm on....mind if I share some?

Please do !

Bring it on....

[mckennarose]

So today is Taco Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, AND Revenge of the Fifth....
I'm thinking the tequila is calling me, (actually it may be the worm in there!) but we have a very complicated, love/hate relationship. It could end badly.

Although I did just witness my neighbor go after her son with la chancla... so that could be a sign.....

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne, I wouldn‘t know a plant from a bush from a weed......I can recognise our apple, pear and plum trees......that’s about it!! But the guy who looks after it all for us is brilliant.....I tell him what flowers I like and he adds them. We have a lot of trees around us and some lovely shrubs, but don‘t ask me what they are!!!



mrose......made a big pile of shortbread again tonight, will send you some over.......it’s very low calorie....... You sound quite busy and steaks are always good!!! And hope you come up with something nice for your daughter to celebrate......it’s a shame kids are missing out on so much right now.......




After a lovely day, it’s been a lovely evening. Bit cool though.

Spent an hour or so on Zoom tonight, so much fun and a good old giggle......making plans for when we can all see each other again and not through a screen.....

Tomorrow is Wednesday, although doesn’t really matter does it what day it is.......

Plan for tomorrow is to make Kyle and Tom their flourless chocolate cake and maybe some cherry coconut scones again. Grocery shop that has been ordered for Thursday has flour in it, so I’ll be back to a decent amount.

May have a late night tonight, and sleep a little later in the morning, although I always plan to do that, but always end up getting up early as usual......I’ve never been one to sleep late and miss half the day....

Hope your Tuesday has been a good one.....

 

[schumigirl]

Wow....quiet on here last night......guess folks are busy!

I`m not.....just amended my grocery order for tomorrow again and added a few more things I forget I needed, or wanted apparently.......going to do store pick up tomorrow as again, no delivery slots. It`s so easy, just click the button and they bring it out to you.

Today, gorgeous day again, so, a quick walk coming up and then make the flourless choc cake and as it`s so nice we`ll cook outside tonight...…bbq flavour chicken breasts, few sausages, and some steak on skewers....most of it spicy of course. Kyle`s chicken won`t be spicy. And will add some potato parcels.....sliced potatoes in butter and saffron. Nice.

Happy Wednesday​

 

[macraven]

Hope you remembered my chocolate bar when you made the food order..
Lol

 

[Disxuni]

We didn't have tacos, or anything yesterday, which is surprising since my mom's favorite food is Mexican. However, she made bbq pork. I ended up making a quesadilla in honor of Cinco De Mayo... Not tacos, but it did the job. While it wasn't traditional Mexican it tasted good. As for Tequila it is not my friend.

Good luck on the antibody testing, @mckennarose.

That chocolate cake sounds good...

Happy Hump Day, homies!

 

[keishashadow]

Rough weekend here, middle DS/major health issues reared up in scary fashion. Things seem to be stable now. At least he is vertical & has scheduled appts with his various doctors.

Well our 17 year old received his High School Diploma today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I typically would not post here about it but I’m like a bubble the size of Jupiter right now I’m so proud of him!!!!!

As you should be, congrats!!! There is always a light on here

Saw on the news around Keisha’s area is going to be less stay at home. And thankfully, road repair is now allowed. While we are not driving as much, so much road work around us, with two detours of popular roads. Will be glad when all level, smooth streets.

Nope, that’s Northwest PA. My are (southwest PA) is still status quo.

Or a Lego.

Yep every now & then when vacuuming i’ll ‘Find’ an errant one. Can’t mistake that noise

Closing blinds tonight and step on a paint pack.......

That sounds messy

I am not picky when it comes to a Boston cream. It's also my favoritr donut.

Me too, even better when shaped like an eclair. It’s always disappointing to get home and realize they put that white yucky stuff inside by mistake, or worse maple ugh

Worked in my mom's yard yesterday. First cut for her backyard so it was rough. Ended up throwing a belt on the lawn tractor. I think one of the thousands of little sticks I ran over must of knocked it off.

Had to order a fuel line for garden tiller, came in yesterday. Supposedly will fit, couldn’t find craftsman parts anywhere online. Was far too cold to trudge out to mess with it, today not much better. Come on warm weather!

Did anyone read today’s Attraction Magazine Newsletter?

Article that UO City Walk will partially open May 11.

Nope, define partially. Saw this am that since things opened more on (monday?), there are 70 something new cases. Need to watch that carefully, slow & steady wins the game.
