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

Carole not sad at all about the laundry - I totally love it - have done just that with our bedding today and ironed it and straight back on the bed! More drying now though sun has gone in for us at the moment.
 
Happy Anniversary to Carole and Tom. How nice to enjoy some flowers today, and takeout too. Here’s to your 28 wonderful years.

Yes, we go out to dinner on our anniversary, no gifts usually too. Depending on what next year looks like, we may be doing takeout this coming February. Flowers were in my home until older one was around 3. It was then we realized his trouble breathing most of the year, was due to allergies. We still have no live plants in our home. But that’s okay, I can have them outside, and to this day, he is medicated from Spring to the first frost, then sometimes around the winter holidays.

Ah ooh, how fitting bacon day. Yum. Pancakes were the breakfast this morning, all ate them, including picky eater. Then she had soup. Rest of us had eggs. Full now, and sun has been shining brightly since sunrise. How nice is that for a Saturday.

Yep, Saturday usually means wash for me too, and almost done, and did hang out some. With no rain predicted for today, and the next couple of days, most should dry quick. Then I think little one wants to go shopping and I have to return shoes I ordered. So liked the look of them, but sadly, not fitting right. And so, they get returned. Not sure what the kids want for dinner to night. With this so nice weather, thinking grilling will be done. Saw corn very cheap at this one grocery store, so will try to get there today, as fresh corn cobs on grill is delicious.

Have a super great Saturday, homies.
 

Looks like you have two days of summer for you.
Yay

Your temps coming later up means coat weather. for two days
Boo
 
When I lived in Chicagoland, hot summers were rare
But could always count on winters being cold and snow

I lived 2.5 miles from Lake Michigan and had more cold than hot days.

Now living in GA, just the opposite weather.
No complaints about that...
 
Happy Anniversary!! Hope you and Tom have a wonderful day and many more years of happiness together. Enjoy that champagne all day. 😉

Thanks Elsa.......yep.....champagne all the way today......it`s just that kinda day......

Hope you`re having a lovely weekend too.......:wave2:

Yep, I almost expected it to blow out to sea today, it was incredibly breezy, but clamed down and the sun stayed out all day.....except for a weird downpour aroud 4pm......but by that time laundry was well done and I was sipping fizz with Tom and 4 friends.......hope the sun stayed around for you today.....



Happy Anniversary!!! Have a wonderful day!


Thanks mrose......it`s been lovely.....even with the laundry.......lol........

Thanks Lynne.....yes, flowers were beautiful and saw some friends, so it`s just been lovely.....



HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CAROLE AND TOM!View attachment 524004


Awwww....thanks Lori.......and an appropriate image for us today........lol.....yes, we`ve been naughty!!! But it`s so nice........:hug:




Now living in GA, just the opposite weather.
No complaints about that...

You have the best weather of us all mac!! I love hearing how nice you have it there, yes, I do remember all your winters in Chicago......I`d last exactly one minute in that cold!




After the laundry had all been done, we sat down to watch our wedding DVD....yes, I persuaded my somewhat bemused husband who said it`s only been three years since we last watched it...lol...and your point :laughing:......but he was saved a 3 to 4 hour wedding and reception DVD as two friends turned up with a card and a lovely bottle, then another couple arrived too......so we had a lovely afternoon mostly exchanging wedding talk......while sipping fizz.....it was really nice.

They tried to talk us into going out for dinner somewhere, but we just feel like staying in. We`ve had our Indian food and all of it was lovely....Kyle stuck with pizza.....not a curry fan. We`re going out next Saturday night though.

I have candles burning all over now as I do hate the lingering odour.....doesn`t last long with them burning.

Now plan to watch some kind of movie.....no idea what yet......:happytv:
 
:wave: it has been a busy week but it has gone by fast. Our weather has been up and down with temps and we had a couple of days of rain, we escaped any bad storms. I hear it is going to be warm and sunny this weekend, we don't have plans just going to chill out at home and trying to purge more.

Brian had his interview on Tuedsay and now we just wait for their decision. He does had an interview yesterday and has one on Tuesday. I did my every couple of days job search for him. Thanks for all the good luck wishes and I do agree it will happen when it is meant too. We will be ready any way.

It is weird not having to worry about school this year with everything going on. Charlie is working a lot and Liv is on line. I am keeping everyone with children in school in my thoughts it all works out. I would not want that worry right now.

I was bad this week and did take out 2 nights one pizza and one chinese, just didn't want to cook. I did return to it last night and made broccoli pasta, tonight will be veggie burgers and fries.

Elsaspiritanimal Thanks for the good luck wishes. Our move to Florida has been planned for years just waited to the teens were older, it is less complicated with the K-12 schools down there. My pepperoni sauce is very easy. I just sautee garlic, oil and the pepperoni (we use turkey, we don't eat pork and it is less greasy.) Once it is browned up and some of the oil from the peopperoni is in the pan I add 2 cans of tomato sauce, season it up and cook it for about 45 minutes on low. The longer you cook it the more flavor it will have. I just put onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and Italian herb seasoning. It is a nice quick flavorful sauce.

Lynne Thanks for the good luck wishes. It is good when you can space out home improvements. That stinks about the shoes, hope something that fits better is found. Pancakes for breakfast is a hit around here. The teens like some kind of chocolate in theirs I am plain old girl.

Schumi Happy Anniversary to you and Tom:rose:. It sounds like a nice night with Kyle and good food. Glad that you are going to start your book club up again, it sounds nice. Charlie brought me a few books the past couple of holidays but every time I try to read them I get tired and close my eyes. Trying to pin the teens down for a movie night I hope you enjoy yours!!

Real I hope everything works out for your DIL will keep her in my thoughts. The Christmas lantern walks sounds very pretty. I love Christmas time with any lights. I hope you enjoy your quiche , my grandmother always made a good one. Have a good day out tomorrow.

Charade I hope your trip to the zoo today is a nice one. The teens did a marauders map puzzle last year and I put the clear protector over it. I think when we get our new house they are donating it to our HP collection that we want to put up. Enjoy your two new puzzles.

DLPN LOL! I hear you on the Seefood! The problem is that now at my age I just can't burn it like I use too. I enjoy the hot weather too, looking forward to it more year round in Florida. I love the E.T. light!!

Keisha love the pics, it looks beautiful! Glad you are enjoying yourself, I wouldn't want to go home either.

Mrose I am sorry to hear your blood work wasn't what you wanted. I understand the frustration with that I hope everything you are working on turns out :thumbsup2. Your Christmas Eve sounds like mine. I do about 4 to 5 fish dishes then 1 or 2 others for my non-fish eating friends. We usually have about 10 people and it is my favorite time to entertain. I will miss it if we are in Florida this year. I do have an Aunt that I grew up with about 3 hours from where we will be so may go to her house. It is such a tough decision with the colleges and schools. It is kind of almost a no win situation for both sides. Christmas is the only time I decorate it is my favorite holiday! I hope you found all your kids!!

Mac I hope you are having a nice relaxing weekend. I think weather can have a strong effect on how people feel, it sounds like GA was a great choice for you. I hope the kitties are doing good.

I want to send a special :wave: to Tink, Monyklayn, Robo, Dix, Kstar, Pumpkin and the rest of the SANS family! I hope everyone has a great and safe Labor Day Weekend!
 
Nice to see @bobbie68 catch up. GC returned to school this week and all went well - can only hope numbers stay low so they can continue.

Glad everyone has had a good day. Lots of nice food around too.

No tv tonight - set up Dad’s slide projector and went through all the slides I’ve found. Lovely to see old pictures of holidays from the 60’s/70’s. Just a few into the 80 ‘s. Kev found a couple of carousel slide holders on eBay like one in the box so when they arrive we will go through them again and get them neat and tidy to share with the family another night.

Cup of tea time.
 
Tea? Yep, will have some later tonight too, Julie.

Yay, a Bobbie post. Continuing sending good luck to DH in job hunt. Glad to hear kids having a work and online school routine.

Ack, DisneyLife, what a weather temp swing. Ours are in the 80’s this 7 day forecast. With sunny next two days, some rain to start the shorter work week, and then more sun and clouds to round next week. Saw Orlando’s, 90’s and chance of rain every day. Yep, sounds right. Packing mostly shorts and tee shirts. A lightweight jacket and most likely will be in pants coming and changing in airport to pants to return. Most likely will get cooler at home by the time I come back.

Cheesesteaks for dinner. Yum, no wiz for me. Regular square cheese. Full, and relaxing.

Glad Schumi has a nice meal, some alcohol, and visits from friends. I have no desire to look back at wedding pictures. I do keep one in a drawer in my office. The rest are in a cabinet at home.

Sky this afternoon was such a beautiful blue. Very little clouds around. Such a peaceful night in store. Yay!
 
Quick drop in to say good morning.

Worrying to see the California fires on our news again today. Hope everyone there stays safe.

We are meeting up with friends for a dog walk this morning then Sunday dinner. Kev had a walk with them last week but I haven’t seen them since March! How can 6 months have gone by.

Hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday x

Continued good wishes for good news on your husband`s hopefully new job!

We love entertaining too, and Boxing Day is our big Christmas get together with friends. No family unfortunately, but we have anywhere from 20-40 folks most years. Unless we go up to Scotland....then my friends sulk.....lol....they`re already asking if we`re doing it this year, but until we know what Kyle is doing we won`t make a decision till later. It would be a shame if you missed your get together, but being in Florida would be a good alternative.

Thank you for the anniversary wishes.....and yes, I`m looking forward to starting up the Book Group again....I`m not sure how many we will be allowed and some aren`t comfortable yet being in one place, but we`ll manage it somehow. We could have done it through Zoom, but none of us wanted to do it that way. We are a social bunch!

Have a great holiday weekend.......


Glad Schumi has a nice meal, some alcohol, and visits from friends. I have no desire to look back at wedding pictures. I do keep one in a drawer in my office. The rest are in a cabinet at home.

Really??? I love looking at our wedding pictures...not every day granted, but such lovely memories. We have several wedding pictures around, one large one of just the two of us on the sitting room wall.....and many little collages around too.

I was thinking of you last night as I ordered some tea from an oline company....bought some tea from them before and it is nice. I always like to keep a nice variety in the house.

Hope you have a lovely weekend too Lynne......




Grey and slightly cool Sunday morning. Sun is trying to peep out from behind those darn clouds.....have no idea what the rest of the day is going to be like, haven`t checked. But, apart from a quick beach walk as it`s so still out there and a bit of shopping this morning, it`ll be a quiet day.......

Doing lamb for dinner tonight.......we like it a lot. Red wine sauce to go with it.......and bacon for lunch.....mac just in time for your breakfast.........::yes::

Got a few phone calls to make today, one to my aunt in LI, haven`t spoken to her for a few weeks now, always like to catch up with her.

Have a wonderful Sunday..........:wave:











 
Good morning everyone. We had a fun day yesterday, The weather was absolutely perfect. The zoo was fun, but a lot of the animals were sleeping. I think I managed to get a few good pictures. I need to upload them from my camera. I still take a regular camera with me. The iPhone just doesn't have the zoom capability that my camera has.

I had a very interesting dream Friday night. I dreamed about a high school classmate who I have not seen since we graduated in 1985. We had one class together. I think it was personal finance. We sat at a table with my best friend and some unfortunate boy who was a grade behind us. The three of us girls used to goof off and act silly (but never disrespectful) when the teacher was out of earshot. When I woke up I did an internet search (Thankfully she has an uncommon name) and found her working as a librarian at a university in Massachusetts. I sent her an email and she wrote back.

it was National Fish and Chip (fries) day here yesterday but we didn’t have that as I’d already organised our meal when I read that!
I wouldn't mind celebrating that day.

Yep, Saturday it is and our 28 year Anniversary....
Happy belated anniversary!

Yes, we go out to dinner on our anniversary, no gifts usually too.
Same here. We were actually talking about this yesterday and dh was surprised that I didn't want to go to a particular restaurant. It's a very expensive steakhouse that used to be really good. It's the place that I mentioned where I got a well done steak that you could have cut with a plastic knife. Unfortunately the last couple of times we went there it has not lived up to expectations.

After the laundry had all been done, we sat down to watch our wedding DVD..
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that our wedding video is on VHS and we have not had it converted to DVD.

Brian had his interview on Tuedsay and now we just wait for their decision.
Hope he gets the decision soon and you will be on your way to Florida.

No tripping tonight. Clear sky, dark night. May all have a good sleep, alright.
Cool light.

DLPN - I love those temps, well, except maybe the low 50's.

Schumi - Love the Friends meme.

Almost time to leave for church. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday,
