Something About Nothing............ #14

[Charade67]

It's move in day. I guess I should go wake B up. She's not scheduled to move in until 2:00, but I promised her lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant since she probably won't be going there again for a few months.

We are at the top of Mississippi but work in TN. I bet Gatlinburg is just gorgeous that time of year.

I have never been there that time of year, so I am really looking forward to it.

Kyle has now said even if we can fly he won`t be coming...... he had been putting off telling me as he knew how upset I`d be......but I can understand his reasons, and in no way does it have to do with the fact his new car should have arrived in the country by then......lol......

Sorry to hear that. I know you are a bit disappointed. I am kind of looking forward to the days when B doesn't want to travel with us, but then again, I'm not. Does that make sense?

Bright but breezy here today but the brightness in the family room with roof lanterns is too much for me today as still taking migraine meds so quiet house, radio on quietly - and as I have a pattern of upset stomach after migraine I’ve just put rice pudding ingredients in the slow cooker as likely toast and rice pudding will be what I can eat later.

Hope you feel better soon.

Time to get up and get moving. I didn't sleep well last night, so I am sluggish today. I have decided that I really need to make more of an effort to establish better sleep habits. This starts with me using my CPAP again. I just ordered a new mask for it. Hopedully I will like it better than the previous one.

Good luck with B this term. Hope she has fun, and is safe. See our state school terminated a few frat houses, for having large parties. Yeah, kids back the week before school starts, party indeed. I guess in 2 weeks, we will see how many are sick, or hope none.

Neither kid is up, so will make some waffles, as I am hungry. Had to come in from outside as all were mowing or otherwise noisy. So nice out.

Julie hope your migraine eases up
They are mjserable

 

[Charade67]

So far fairly quiet at B's school. Students are still moving in though. Some students have already been reprimanded, but nothing too serious yet.

Dh has been issued a face shield. He says he is required to wear it, a mask, or both.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne, yes, completely his decision, and of course I understand and respect his decision. we`ll see what happens as it gets closer with travel restrictions and so on.....

Sounds a lovely day ahead of you......time by the pool is always good, and returns to store are so easy, won`t take you long......you`ll be in the pool before you know it.....



Charade, it`s a mixed deal. We are such a tight family and spend a lot of time together, even today, so our vacations are sacrosanct, that time together is priceless and we love every second. The first time Kyle didn`t come to America I thought I was going to hyperventilate when we were leaving him...adult or not.....it got easier but we still miss him dreadfully.

However, the other side is you get to be a couple again....and that is wonderful. It`s as it should be. Kids are supposed to grow up. In the UK the only place that is "acceptable" to visit with you parents as an adult is Florida......lol.....some of his friends are always asking to come with us. And vacationing again as a couple is fabulous and we really enjoy our time with just the two of us.......

We`re happy with either situation. So, I completely understand your mixed thoughts.....




Popped over to see the new build house my friends daughter has bought. About 20 miles away, It`s very nice, but my goodness......they are so close to each other. It`s detached, but her kitchen windows look directly into the neighbours kitchen! There`s no privacy.....

But lovely brand new home, she asked what I thought of her kitchen, kept my silence as I hate that very dark wood in a kitchen....told her it was lovely......she laughed and said she`s known me long enough......yes, she does!

Back home and having a pot of tea......few hours yet before we eat........

Sun is out, but breezy......

@Charade67 good luck for B in school and I hope you sleep better tonight. I seem to cope with lack of it but every so often it just wears me down.

Thanks @macraven I know I’m not alone with migraine - have had them for many years - I’m going to carry on with 4 hourly treatment and hope it doesn’t develop further and having a very quiet day.

@Lynne G do you make your own waffles? A favourite here but I buy the ready made ones. Kev wanted a Mickey waffle maker to do our own but no luck yet!

@schumigirl my son and DIL bought a new build this time - after renovating two they had looked and looked for their next move - have to say they were very lucky as so many are squashed in - it is a beautiful house and it backs on to the canal with a golf course on the other side. They are both ultra house proud and they are turning it into a beautiful home. Too tidy for me as I like to have my books and sewing etc around.

Kev has been to the shop for me and is going to watch a John Travolta movie - think it will be an action film so I’m going to lie on the bed and carry on listening to “Rebecca” Daphne Du Maurier.

​

Yep........quiet Saturday`s are sometimes the best Saturday night`s.

Curries were good.....mine was a little too hot tonight, think the heavy handed spice chef was cooking tonight.....still delicious, but took me a while to eat it. Tom`s curry and the other two`s pizza`s were beautiful....

Now sitting on sofa watching some tv. There`s a movie on later with Timothy Spall and Imelda Staunton, both actors in the Potter movies.....it looks a gentle movie but gets good reviews.

Rain is bouncing down tonight, but windows all open as it is quite warm....

Time for a glass of wine........

So been quite busy yesterday and today we had a wonderful day with youngest yesterday and all you that sent birthday wishes, Thank you!

He decided he wanted Olive Garden for dinner, I’ve never really been a huge fan of that restaurant but last night they did an excellent job all around, so that was surely a nice treat to have everything go well and tasty!

Started the day bright and early with youngest baseball game, it is so fun to coach a team and participate with my son! We did have a good game 12-4 win and next game Monday night, he came home and said Cake time as we we’re out and about til later in the evening he decided to save it for today.


So we got ribeyes for the grill tonight and I’m sure I’ll rustle up something to have a drink or 4!!!

Oh, I missed this! Happy Birthday to DLPN Jr!
What a great picture, love the baby yoda! He looks very happy.
Um... I like my ribeye medium... just sayin in case you have an extra.....

I agree. We love when our adult children and spouses/significant others can come with us on vacation, but we also enjoy our time traveling with just each other. It's strange when your kids are all grown up and have their own lives, but it's also adding a new dynamic to the relationship with your spouse that's fun when it's just the two of you. I will say we're A LOT slower paced when it's just the two of us on vacation! And a lot more "go with the flow".

Charade, hope move in day went well!

It's currently 88 degrees and beautifully sunny out. Very hot though! We're doing more home projects, this time the garage.

Hope everyone is well!

That is a fantastic cake for the birthday boy.
He looks very happy.

Yes, we have a much slower pace when it`s just us two......our last two December trips are very much park based and lots of rides.....when it`s just the two of us......well......it`s much more varied and slower........but still cherished times whether it`s just the two of us or all three.......

Nice weather mrose.....enjoy it.......and don`t work too hard on the garage......

I hope you had a glass of wine for me!

Oh always..... we just poured our second large glass..........Tom just mentioned you about 20 minutes ago.....he had to replace the battery in the "gadget" and as always mentioned how gutted he`d be if it broke.......

Definitely his favourite gadget ever.......

@DisneyLifePapioNe sorry I missed that birthday - the cake looks amazing and sounds like a good day!

We enjoy trips on our own and with family too. We like some city breaks - especially Rome is our return to favourite - and sometimes a coastal break with Louie for walking and exploring. Love breaks with Em and the grandchildren - a chance to make memories with them (particularly Disney) - and have an absolute ball with my son and DIL who make us young again getting us to stop up for the dancing and visit places we may not have done otherwise. Aren’t we all lucky to have those opportunities.

Dark very early here tonight - managed to eat the rice pudding - definitely comfort food - and feeling much improved - hoping we can do everything tomorrow I planned on doing today!

I think it’s cool, I won’t forget @Lynne G birthday because they share the same day!!!!!

I think she may have an ongoing party or something going on this weekend FYI....

Love Rebecca! A true classic.

That sounds beautiful with the golf course....least no one can build behind them.

That`s the one saving grace with this house, although the neighbours to one side can look directly in to their kitchen (who thought that was a good idea) they have a lavendar farm right behind them that is a wonderful little business, so won`t be going anywhere anytime soon. That was what she really wanted, was not to be overlooked from the back of her garden......it is beautiful, just so close together......but she`s only going to be there a few years.....

Glad you`re feeling better tonight.

Schumi I was glancing thru the threads here and not paying attention to who said what.

when I read the post of
“Ok, we always have plenty got you a spot saved at the table!!!”

I thought it was you as that’s what you usually say when we like your menu.

Lol

I get my kids all mixed up here.
(It would have been so embarrassing to call one of my kids here by the wrong name.)

btw, will there need bacon in the morning??

If not Mac, we got you covered, plenty of bacon also!!!

Shamefully perhaps even more......

More than likely....
