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

Merry Christmas everyone. Been a rough December here. On our girls trip to Universal after Thanksgiving my Uncle passed It was unexpected as my aunt was on the trip. Hug your loved ones this year. 2020 can just go away.

Wishing all of my SANS friends a peaceful and healthy Christmas. I’m still as weak as a kitten but we got to the children’s crib service this afternoon, then had a “party” tea and just had Christmas Eve boxes. I managed to cook my honey glazed gammon but sent Em for ice cream as could not bake my planned Bundt. No one complains of course all happy.
So feet up and drinking pints of water - I’ve just given Kev his first gift of his favourite Courvoisier Brandy.
Don’t think we will be late to bed but expect to be up early tomorrow!

Many hugs!
I’m sorry for your loss !
That had to be so traumatic for your aunt and you while you were aware from home.
Sending you love and hugs.

Lets hope 2021 is better.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone. Lazy day today. It has been raining all day long. I did manage to get a dessert made though.

Almost made a Christmas goof. I opened a drawer and found the custom Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier magic band that I got for B? So what did I gift wrap for her? Yep, I managed to wrap my Thor magic band instead. I made the swap and all is well.

Hugs and prayers for those who have lost loved ones this year. Prayers and well wishes for those who are sick. Hopefully 2021 will bring some better times.

We are getting ready to go to an early Christmas eve service at church and then to dinner for dh's birthday.

While all the homies are busy with Christmas Eve and making final plans for Christmas Day, I’ve been on the phone changing a flight for next month

My day so far has been working on it
Still waiting on a call back with the airline

It was not going thru online for some reason.

So dinner tonight is chicken salad sandwich and beverage
for Mr Mac

came back to edit that no pizza places opened in our town or nearby towns

but found a carry out Chinese restaurant that is opened Christmas day
Woot!
( no pbj for us Saturday!)

 

[macraven]

Hope your husband has a wonderful birthday today!

Lynne I grew up eating trout caught from the stream. especially when he was laid off work during recession. Got to point I dreaded trout season. Parents insisted we eat the bones for calcium ugh. Still can’t bear to eat fish with head or skin upon it


It was fresh there & Alaska when we cruised! In one form or the other breakfast, lunch & dinner. Never got tired of it lol. Often saw a dip, not quite a pate Usually hate smoked dips but it was amazing.
Sent the mr to McDonald’s for brunch He said the drive thru line was around the block

I love trout, but bones......no......when we buy salmon we always order it with the head and tails gone, gutted, pinboned and side filleted.....then I cut it into portions....trout is always gutted with head and tails removed too. If I get a bone.....no more eating.

Love smoked salmon! Quite possibly one of my favourite food items.

And thank you again.......

Vicki, I`m so sorry to hear of your uncle passing. What a shock for your aunt to get that news........yes, this year can`t quite disappear fast enough. I`m definitley hugging mine a lot more than normal.

Tomorrow pizza carry out

Well, I need to call and see which domino’s is open tomorrow, some are closed in my area usually

Glad you got it sorted out.......well, almost.....and pizza is always good! Like I said to you, I wish Domino`s were decent in this country....but they`re not........our local pizza place is so much better........yours is head and shoulders above.








To Mr Charade.......hope he has a lovely day and evening........





Buffet dinner has been enjoyed. We are all stuffed. What`s left will be put in the bin later, tomorrow`s food is all sorted.

Enjoyed watching White Christmas and Alasdair Sim Scrooge this afternoon, tonight is Christmas Vacation. And caught up on my yearly read of A Christmas Carol.....love that book.

Weather is dreadful and cold, been sleety rain all day, I`ve so enjoyed being in with nowhere to go. Rain is now bouncing down again.....more like hailstones.

Getting the dining room table set up for tomorrow later too. Silver and purple setting for us this year. Not much else to do except some chats and calls then maybe an early night hopefully. Love Christmas Eve........

 

[Lynne G]

Snow, so sorry to hear of losses. I hope next year is so much better for you. Happy Holidays to you and family.

Charade, yeah not a nice day here and flood warnings until tomorrow morning. Happy Birthday to your DH. And many more.

At the mall, as had to pick up some ordered stuff, other two were drive ups. Quick drive ups too. Not too bad a line to pick up inside, and now waiting for little one’s coffee.

 

[Lynne G]

Chinese food dinner, yum. Some chocolate for snacking. Oh yes I am, with tea, of course.




Ha ha. Really. May all have those dreams of sugarplums dancing in your head.

In one more hour, it will be Christmas for our homies across the pond.

I’m sure none of them got coal in their stockings but nice treats.

This year has moved quickly for me
Blink and the new year is almost here.

I’m going to sit up tonight so I can see Santa!
Well that and watch tv.

 

[Charade67]

Dh says thank you for the birthday wishes.
I think I have just had the best steak ever. This restaurant is going to the top of our special occasion list. B and I split a dessert called Coconut Cow. I think we needed a third person to share it with. (Dh had creme brûlée.)



I think it will be a while before I can go to sleep. In the meantime, I will leave a Christmas candle burning.

 

[Lynne G]

Yum, and a very Merry Christmas to you and family, Charade.

Ack, some loud rain and now just little loud rain. Seems like this evening is crawling. And my phone keeps buzzing with flood warnings.

All quiet, as kids are screen watching. Cute my nephew’s family posted their excited looking kids. Youngest is 2, and oldest 6, so all three kids had smiles, putting cookies out for Santa. I’m sure those kids will be up hours before mine will be.

Little one was a grinch, not liking my holiday music. Eh, I did not play it that long.

All has been wrapped, and just relaxing with my tea. A perfect way to spend this evening.

And will be up early, I am sure.

Hope all are having that wonderfully relaxing evening.

Charade - sounds like a lovely celebration. Happy happy to your DH

snowpack I’ve never heard anything quite like that, unthinkable

[Lynne G]

Wow! What a spread Keisha.

Not sure I will make it until the clock first says good morning.

 

[macraven]

Lynne you need to sit up until Santa arrives.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh fading fast Mac. Maybe. Kids certainly will say hi to Santa.

 

[Lynne G]

 

[macraven]

Well our Lynne did make it past midnight!
