If you have a glass of wine with it you can't make a wrong decision.

No wrong decisions there........cheers!!!

Talk of Halloween - our favourite time at Disney (though have never seen Christmas). Sad the calendar means littles will not be with Em for Halloween this year. We always like to dress the house and dress up with the children for local Trick or Treating - not going to happen. I will dress her porch and the lounge but she may want to remove them when the children go as likely she will make herself busy and go to a friend.

As they will not be here Kev has booked us a holiday over Halloween down to Sidmouth in Devon where we had hoped to retire. We had a home there for quite some years. It is a hotel right on the sea - very Miss Marple (in fact was used in one programme as the entrance to a theatre as it has an old fashioned revolving door.). Just 5 days but will be lovely.

J has had to prepare some notes about himself for first day at High School. Was sent a list of prompts. One of which - where would you like to travel? Answer - I love WDW but when I’m older I want to go and stay at Universal!

Time for a cup of tea I think.

[Charade67]

Cold, gray, gloomy, and rainy here today. Perfect day to stay inside and read a book or watch a movie. I am going to try to get through a post. I am so sleepy right now. I barely slept last night, and when I did finally doze off, I had a disturbing dream that kept me awake for most of the rest of the night.

Last piece to put in, oh what a hard puzzle it was.

Cool puzzle.

We said goodbye to our beloved dog earlier in the week,

I am so sorry. I know thatmust have been extremely difficult.

I stubbed my toe getting here.
The porch light wasn’t on ......

Sorry! Dh and I were working on palns for our Atlanta and Gatlinburg trip. I completely forgot,

Yes our weather is definitely turning to Autumn and not long before the colours will change.

My favorite sesson. I can't wait for lower humidity.

Anybody have any good ideas for dinner tonight? Might just do some garlic sesame noodles and salmon if I can't think of anything else.

That sounds good to me. What timne should I come over?

I’ve whipped a chocolate cake into and out the oven - chilling it in the fridge as suddenly everyone is now ready for dessert. Thankfully some ready made chocolate fudge icing so it will be easy to finish off.

Yum! Now I want chocolate.

Ugh! I'm glad she's home. My dd's university updated their numbers on Friday and the count was up 29 students since Wednesday for a total of 119 in the past two weeks since they opened. They haven't updated the numbers today yet, but today is the first day of all online classes for everyone.

I just read that there are 178 cases at Virginia Tech. No more updates from B's school.

Talk of Halloween - our favourite time at Disney (though have never seen Christmas).

Disney is beautiful at Christmas.

I can barely keep my eyes open. I shouldn't take a nap, but I don't think I have much choice. Hello to everyone I missed.

 

[Realfoodfans]

@Charade67 I dare not nap - have tried every which way! I actually find if I go early I can drop off to sleep - but then awake from the early hours. Last time I had a solid nights sleep was after surgery! Wouldn’t wish that on anyone obviously. Hope you have a restful sleep tonight.

 

[bobbie68]

thanks for the warm welcome back, it was nice. The weather has cooled down here too. We were in the 60's in the morning. I am still using the AC all the time this post menopause stuff stinks!!! I am really looking forward to central air conditioning to have an even temp around the house. Brian has his final interview with Holiday Inn Vacation Destinations tomorrow. He feels pretty good that they will offer him the job. It is a little less money than we were hoping for but we will make it work. There isn't a lot of choices out there with all the unemployment. I may start house hutning on Wedenesday!

We were busy this weekend organizing the house in case we have to show it this weekned. We cooked all weekend, I made fish and fried rice on Friday night, Pepperoni sauce on Saturday night and Charlie cooked a stir fry last night. I am thinking take out tonight, not sure what!

We finally got new phone upgrades. It was a hard choice to stay with a samsung or go back to iphone. We decided on the Iphone SE 2020. It is a little cheaper than the 11 or 11 pro. I wanted the iphone because most of our family and friends have iphones and it will be easier to face time with when we are in Florida. I hope we end up liking it.

Another one in the not so good sleep club! I am sorry for all the SANS who have this.

Mac I bet it was a great dance!!! I am in awe of anyone who can play an instrument. My 3 are in a band and I don't have a stitch of musical ability. The family keeps saying they are going to teach me, they would have better luck wit the cat!!!! Whistle is a great thing to bring to the party. Woot countdown for your trip to Mac!!

Lynne Happy belated to your DD I hope it was a nice day! Glad that the chocolate chip muffin would be good for a candle. Most of the time we do cake around here but once in awhile we change it up. Your steak dinner on the grill sounded good, glad it was. Liv told me she wants bubble tea on her birthday, lucky there is a place not to far. We will get dinner from Panera as that is her choice. Woot, countdown to you trip, always something good to look forwrad too.

Pumpkin I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved fur baby! It is never easy to say goodbye, you are in my thoughts! I like your philosophy of changes with which covid has brought to us. I lalways have believed we can learn something and try to take something positive away! I hope your DS has a good senior year in these new times.

DLPN Happy belated to your DS. Woot to your countdown to Orlando!! It is always fun to plan another trip, Disney sounds good I have not stayed at any of the places you are thinking of, except I stayed at Port Orleans Riverside,FQ looked nice. Pics of the resort are aleays a nice sight!

Real Your trip sounds really nice anything by the sea is lovely! I likeJ's prompt answer, I feel the same way! I loved Disney when I was younger but enjoy Universal now! Liv has been working on some introduction stuff with her classes, but then got right into work! Glad you enjoyed your meal out!

Elsaspiritanimal your pic of the sunset is pretty, it sounds like you had a nice weekend. I am with you I don't like warm weather to end, hence why we picked Florida to move. Woot for your trip to WDW, we have been there once at Halloween and it was really cool. Your sesame noodles and salmon sounded good! Your mom's decoration idea for halloween sounds cool!

Schumi Glad that you had a great trip! Glad Tom enjoyed his gifts, Indian food sounds good we don't usually do take out we use to go to buffets! Beach sunset is beautiful! Sounds like a nice visit and food with your friends, always nice to sit and chat! I hope you continue to get nice weather it's nice when it comes in slower and gives time to adjust!

Keisha I hope the pool party went well. I would be in the corner too if there were no masks! Poor Liv wouldn't even go!! I hope you enjoy your trip! Sorry your DS couldn't get the time off! Brian and I won't know what to do when the teens don't accompany us, I am not sure if that will be soon or not!

Charade like the puzzle pic, black cats are awesome! Sorry about you not sleeping well, it stinks!I hope B's numbers at her school stay low!! The days of square dancing I remember it in elementary school! The best part about it was getting the boy you like as your partner!!! I would defitnely refer to myself as "musically illiterate" Thanks for leaving some cool lights on!

Mrose I am sorry about your trip too,I know how you feel, I was just talking to Brian about our cancelling very sad. I hope she decides on her classes Liv really enjoys doing them online. Liv is really disciplined unlike me, I would not dedicate time to school on vacation. She did it once and was so good about it. I hope your blood work comes out good!!

I want to say to all the SANS family who hasn't been able to post, I hope all is well!!

 

[Elsaspiritanimal]

That sounds good to me. What timne should I come over?

6:30 and if you stop by Real's for the chocolate fudge frosting on your way over that would be idea. You can share all of the planning for your fun trips to Atlanta/Gatlinburg!

No wrong decisions there........cheers!!!

Nicely done I knew you would make the right choice!

Elsaspiritanimal your pic of the sunset is pretty, it sounds like you had a nice weekend. I am with you I don't like warm weather to end, hence why we picked Florida to move. Woot for your trip to WDW, we have been there once at Halloween and it was really cool. Your sesame noodles and salmon sounded good! Your mom's decoration idea for halloween sounds cool!

Oh I'm jealous of your move to Florida! I'm hoping some day we can make that happen, even if it is for part of the year! Good luck to Brian on the interview tomorrow and hope you get to start the house hunting soon! All of your food sounded good from this weekend too! If I might ask though what is pepperoni sauce? I love me some pepperoni so it might be something I need to try here!

 

[Lynne G]

Bobbie, glad all is trying to fall into place. Good luck to Brian on getting the job.

I saw Loews let go and some terminated between Hard Rock and Portofino, 800 workers total. Sad times, for sure.

Yep, countdown is still ticking, just behind Elsa and same day as DisneyLife. Woot!

Although I love heat and summer, I love Autumn too.

Good luck for your husband with the job and you can get your move sorted as quick as you’d like......

We have cooler weather too, it’s actually alright when you get used to it again.




Another almost bedtime post.........we’re both yawning our heads off tonight, think it was the fresh air today and walk by the beach. I think we’re planning on doing the same tomorrow morning.....

Made muffins tonight for breakfast......will see what we’ll have with them tomorrow........I did sneak a taste......we shared a blueberry and a cranberry one......yep, they’ll do........

Have a good Monday evening.........

 

[Realfoodfans]

@bobbie68 really hope the job works out! Make sure you have room for guests when you start house hunting - you know all the SANS family will drop by!

Em returns to work tomorrow as an inset day before term starts. So full on children day - we have it planned by L but the boys may sneak off for some Xbox time when she’s not looking!

Had a request for pancakes so that might be breakfast sorted.

Goodnight all - I’ll flick on a light later if the place is in darkness.

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all! Busy days here

I`m sure Keisha`s party is in full swing right now....she really knows how to throw a good one......

oh, I was a guest at the kids club. DiL kept stuffing me with boozie slushees...how dare she

Last piece to put in, oh what a hard puzzle it was.

Really striking

is that a 3 or 4D one? Bought one of Vegas strip a few xmases ago that’s still sitting in the box. We’ve dubbed it a retirement to do lol

still kicking myself for not buying the haunted mansion puzzle. Saw it on eBay ouch

But if anything comes out of all of this, it will teach us to be patient, learn to adapt to fluid situations, and how to move forward, even though we are unsure of what is the right next move - if that makes sense.

IDK...sounds like work to me

JK very nice sentiment

It will be an adjustment without him around.

Hugs

I stubbed my toe getting here.
The porch light wasn’t on ......

And I just missed pumpkin

double phooey!

Curses, foiled again

Don’t think my family has any British in us, but both my mom and I enjoyed a good cup of tea. And so, while coffee I will drink, most of the time, you will see me with a cup of tea. Including this morning.

You should do an ancestry kit ala 23&me. My teeth almost fell out of my mouth at the results! So much fun to browse thru it

I didn’t sign in for the surprise relatives to pop out of woodwork tho lol

We'll miss it this Fall so I'll have to live vicariously through all of you going.

Aw, sorry. Is DH work still being strict?

And this year, our Labor Day is late.

Cant remember last time so

Sunset from this weekend:

Wow

Oh well like Lynne said just means it is almost Halloween! Will have to start thinking about decorating the house for fall soon but I will probably wait until after Labor Day

Starting 4th of July a very nice house that I pass when dropping off kiddo started to put up halloween decorations. Yesterday, had to be 10 half and full torso creepy things on big wrap around porch lol

We've watched Sleepy Hollow

With mr depp? I love the Disney cartoon Dvd version that’s pared with mr toads wild ride

How fun what have you been making? My mom cut up a log into slices so I think we are going to paint them like pumpkins with various colors and designs to put out this year. But I'd love to see what you are doing to get some fresh ideas for this year too!

That sounds like fun. Do you have to sand & seal them first?

One of which - where would you like to travel? Answer - I love WDW but when I’m older I want to go and stay at Universal!

Your work here is done Lol

just read that there are 178 cases at Virginia Tech. No more updates from B's school.

Uhoh

Sorry your DS couldn't get the time off! Brian and I won't know what to do when the teens don't accompany us, I am not sure if that will be soon or not!

well the first trip passed for a long delayed honeymoon Lol. We enjoy traveling solo but find ourselves at least once an hour reminiscing when something jogs our memory. Nice but a bit bittersweet

saw Loews let go and some terminated between Hard Rock and Portofino, 800 workers total. Sad times, for sure.

A shame. Portofino really took a hit. Hoping we don’t notice any lapse in service at HRH when there upcoming trip tho

 

[Lynne G]

Double rainbow, as little one needed her Starbucks.

 

[mckennarose]

Leftovers tonight. I made corned beef, mashed potatoes, scotch eggs and sticky toffee pudding yesterday. It was the first time my youngest dd's boyfriend had scotch eggs and he ate 4 and a half! LOL! I made a mustard sauce to go with them and the corned beef. He was helping DH put up some drywall in the garage so I made them a filling meal.

How fun what have you been making?

I tried three times to get the picture straight! Ugh!!
I'm still working on my version of a dementor. He started as a skull and hands from the dollar general, I sculpted a mouth and chin so he can have his soul-sucking mouth open, lol! I have to finish his coloring and touch up some. Right now he's on a dowel rod, but I have fishing wire on his head if I want to hang him.
I also made the skulls in jars behind him (not the red potion bottle, that was from Michaels a few years ago). I used candlesticks and the skulls from the dollar store (I'm thrifty) and the glass are vases I had here. I added the tops and glued a knob on.


I brought out my two throw-pillow cases I made last year. I change up my throw pillow covers on the sofa in the small tv room for the seasons. I'm working on a Madame Leota and Constance from Haunted Mansion to add this year. I had made the designs last year and the year before for the MNSSHP and put them on t shirts.


These are the designs on tshirts that I did last year. They glow in the dark. I really love the Constance one! We got stopped by at least 10 CM's at MNSSHP last year when we wore them.

They were for our second party; we did two parties last year.
The first party last year we wore these:
I did not make the designs on these. I bought the images on Etsy and then modified them to what I wanted. The Coco ears were bought the year before at Disney.

I almost forgot, I made these light up wire ears to go with Constance.


I don't keep personal-ish pics up long, so I will be removing them after a few days. I just love Halloween and wanted to share!

I just read that there are 178 cases at Virginia Tech. No more updates from B's school.

We got the update tonight; 49 students since Friday. That brings the total to 168. They made the right call by going all online. Most of the students are in off-campus housing.

Mrose I am sorry about your trip too,I know how you feel, I was just talking to Brian about our cancelling very sad. I hope she decides on her classes Liv really enjoys doing them online. Liv is really disciplined unlike me, I would not dedicate time to school on vacation. She did it once and was so good about it. I hope your blood work comes out good!!

Thanks Bobbie! We're still sad but hopeful.

Aw, sorry. Is DH work still being strict?

Yep. He's going to ask again, now that we have a testing site that is opening near us for people who need tests for work or school. They announced they will not take people who are symptomatic, this place is purely for people who are not sick, but need the negative test.

With mr depp? I love the Disney cartoon Dvd version that’s pared with mr toads wild ride

Oh yes! Love me some Johnny Depp! That's one of my favorite Halloween movies.

 

[Lynne G]

Great Halloween items, McK! You are talented, that’s so evident.

Burgers with corn and pasta salad. Yep, week day easy meals for me.


Light to tonight, sorry Charade. Raining on and off since later in the afternoon. Was raining pretty good, even with that rainbow, as windshield wipers needed, but thankfully, quick dash out, as pre-ordered.

Chilling this Monday night, but was surprised at how many cars we saw out. I was like, on a Monday night?

Tacos tomorrow. Get those shoes ready, as Taco Bell run will be tomorrow’s lunch or dinner.

[Charade67]

@Charade67 I dare not nap - have tried every which way! I actually find if I go early I can drop off to sleep - but then awake from the early hours. Last time I had a solid nights sleep was after surgery! Wouldn’t wish that on anyone obviously. Hope you have a restful sleep tonight.

I couldn't fight sleep any longer. I napped less than an hour, so I hope that doesn't mess up tonight's sleep.

Brian has his final interview with Holiday Inn Vacation Destinations tomorrow. He feels pretty good that they will offer him the job.

Best of luck to him.

The days of square dancing I remember it in elementary school! The best part about it was getting the boy you like as your partner!!!

Picking partners was the worst part for me. We were first allowed to pick our partners, so the popular kids paired off first. Those of us who didn't voluntarily pair up Were assigned partners. I always seems to have one of the gross kids as my partner.

6:30 and if you stop by Real's for the chocolate fudge frosting on your way over that would be idea. You can share all of the planning for your fun trips to Atlanta/Gatlinburg!

Sounds like a plan.

Hope you get a good sleep tonight, and no nasty dreams.......I envy people who don’t dream.....I think that’s why I wake up tired, my brain is active all night......

I have heard that everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams. My husband rarely remembers his. Maybe that's why he sleeps so well.

You should do an ancestry kit ala 23&me. My teeth almost fell out of my mouth at the results! So much fun to browse thru it

I didn’t sign in for the surprise relatives to pop out of woodwork tho lol

I've done the Ancestry one, and would like to do the 23 & Me just to see how they compare. No surprise relatives for me yet, but dh got some when he did the test.

Double rainbow, as little one needed her Starbucks.

Very nice.

Light to tonight, sorry Charade.

No need to apologize. I will save my light for another night.

Tomorrow I need to find a notary. My brother has asked me to accept secondary power of attorney for him. Today I received the documents to sign. I decided to wait until I was less sleepy to read them.

 

[Charade67]

Oops, lost my quote for MRose. I am impressed with your decorating skills.

I guess I am the odd one out here. I don't care that much for Halloween. I could go crazy with Christmas decorations if I had more room.
