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

[Robo56]

Good Thursday evening. Sans family



Hope everyone had a lovely Easter. I glanced back a few pages and it looks like everyone had yummy food.

Schumi so very sorry to hear of your Uncles illness......Hospice Nurses are truly Angels. It is I’am sure comforting to your Uncle to be able to stay home surrounded by his family. I know it has to be hard on your Mum and you not being able to travel to Scotland. Sending lots of prayers for everyone.

Charade glad to hear your mom is progressing.

We traveled back to Indiana on Easter Sunday. Thought perhaps the traffic would be better while everyone was home celebrating. The traffic was good until just past Downtown Atlanta. Then it bogged down for awhile.

We needed to get home as I’am giving granddaughters Bridal Shower in May. I mentioned this before I think. So I need to get going on things. The bakery I had spoken to at end of December to do the bake goods for the shower has gone out of business. So sad another Covid business casualty.

I also wanted to be here to help take some of the stress off of her pulling everything together for her wedding. She has been very busy with work.

I scrambled a bit yesterday and found another bakery to do the bake goods. We have Walmart, Sam’s and Costco bakeries, but very few specialty bakeries. I had a meeting with another specialty bakery yesterday. I showed them what I wanted. They are very nice and my sister said their bake goods are delicious. So one thing down.

Granddaughter M told me she would love a Tiffany themed Bridal Shower. She is the sweetest granddaughter. She is our last granddaughter to be getting married. I also did our oldest granddaughters Bridal Shower a number of years ago. So have a fair idea what goes into the planning process.

I had been invited to go along on her Bridal dress hunt with M a few months ago and I did not hear the bridesmaids discussing the shower yet so I jumped in and and asked granddaughter what she wanted. I contacted the Country Club where she is having her Wedding and Reception and they had a space available so that was done before we left for Florida.

I contacted a local lady here that does beautiful invitations and showed her some ideas and she did 4 mock-up invitations and M picked the one she wanted. They have been mailed out already.

Had a look at Pinterest and Etsy for Tiffany Themed Shower ideas. It has been helpful. It’s nice to see examples of someone’s else’s ideas them take the color scheme and and add your own style to it.

I now know that what the Tiffany color is called “Light Medium Robin Egg Blue”........LOL.

The contractor has cleared the farmland behind us already. It is shocking. The lady that owned the land son’s put her in Nursing Home and sold the farm to a contractor.......I would like to kick the son’s were the sun don’t shine. I know life goes on just sad.

Happy belated Birthday to any I have missed.

Hope all who are ill get better soon. Mummy dust being sent your way.

Have a good rest of the evening Sans family.

How exciting for handling a lot for your granddaughter’s wedding
She will be awed by how you make it magical and a dream come true!

That is a long drive you had.
Bet you slept well the first night you arrived up north.

 

[keishashadow]

Robbie - i just love how you make things happen! Off to a great start there

So many empty storefronts here, many of the smaller, specialty shops have fallen on such bleak times.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh a Buckeev post. Sending good thoughts your way, all will be awesome when you do get away with your bride.

Robo, nice you are hosting. Joyful occasion, and neat theme. Sounds like all is falling in place. Hope you are doing well.

Pumpkin, hope you relax some. Good to hear all happening with you.

Evening tea, and now just chilling with crap on what to watch selection.

Was a 45 minute break for little one’s evening class, so stir fry noodles with vegetables was the quick dinner. Good thing I had cooked pasta left over.

A most peaceful and pleasant evening, with that soundest of restful sleep. Need that good night’s sleep, as that Friday feeling will be energizing your wake up tomorrow.

 

[Charade67]

The eye doc visit went well today. I had been having difficulty ever since I went to progressive lenses. When I complained to my previous doctor he just checked my glasses and told me I had the correct prescription. I decided to try a new Dr. and am still having difficulty seeing clearly. Today the new doc checked my eyes and told me the prescription was correct. Then he talked to the optician and suggested I try a different type of lens. The optician then called the lab and discussed my situation with someone there. The lab is going to send a different type of lens for me to try. Hopefully these will work better.

And you say that like it’s a bad thing

That said, not my favorite, they introduced Godzilla too early in the movie. Less drama, more action, bit of an overload IM

I was just really amused. The more dh tried to explain, the more ridiculous it sounded.

My boys & GD went to see it early afternoon on Easter. Here you can still rent out one of the entire smaller theaters for a very reasonable rate, up to a Maximum of 20

I wish we could do that here. We only have one first run theater here (Regal) and it has not opened yet.

Hooray my hairdresser just called to say I am back in every Friday for my blow dry from next week.

Yay! I know you are happy.

Had a phone call this morning from another of my close friends. Her husband had a stroke three years ago and although he did well sadly lockdown has affected his well being drastically. She is now going through power of attorney for him and said she really doesn’t want to go into town on her own to the three necessary banks (she is 10 years older than me). She sadly lost her sister last year who she used to go with. So I have offered to go with her next week.

You are a good friend.

I did make my first vaccination appointment for the 19th. I believe it is the Pfizer one.

Dh has his second shot that day. I had Pfizer and then only sode effect i had was a really sore arm. Hope they are mild for you.

I'm thinking of picking up food for supper tonight. Just need to decide what I'm in the mood for...
It's just me until Sunday, and I don't feel like cooking. Taking a day or two off!

I rarely cook when I am by myself. I like getting takeout and having the TV all to myself.

DH is pretty into watching sports. I don't mind when he watches something live or recently played.
It's when he re-watches games/matches time and time again! ....I don't really get that??

Mine is the same way. He loves college football and will watch games that have already been played. I like to call it used football.

Just a quick "Buzzin' of the tower" to say howdy y'all!

Hello. Nice to see you.

We needed to get home as I’am giving granddaughters Bridal Shower in May

You sound like you are going to be very busy, but enjoy it. A Tiffany theme sounds nice.

My phone just buzzed with the announcement that we are under a severe thunderstorm warning. Looks like we will be getting rain for the next few days.

 

[Charade67]

Forgot the meme I was going to post.

 

[schumigirl]

Yea!

Young & old, sadly enough

Well, as long as they signed off on it...

Nom, nom, nom

Indeed!

One of my DS mentioned the local top golf is a mile or two away from the cemetery tomorrow. Believe he is still feeling the burn from that one lol

& another one gets the fluff

Such a great service, too bad it’s difficult to obtain here.

Hope all goes well today Janet.....

Just a quick "Buzzin' of the tower" to say howdy y'all!

Trying to finish buttoning up these plumbing issues. 5 different houses and?or buildings with busted stuff, getting close...
Orlando trip pushed. Again. Mid May...but we'll see. 7 cancellations/reschedules.

Prayers and Pixie Dust for those hurting; physically and emotionally. Good Lord, this has been a draining 14 months.
Hugs Carole.

Robert

Thank you Robert......yes, it`s been a horrible time for many people, hoping it`s light at the end of the tunnel time for so many.

I so hope you get your trip in May, you deserve it so much. Will keep all things crossed for you! It`s not fun rescheduling trips.

Good to see you though......hope all is well with you and your family.......

Just wanting to do a quick fly by this afternoon. I finally have all the papers shuffled, collected and filed away again I keep crossing my fingers that one day I will have the magic ticket to win a lotto so I can just lollygag around and not have to worry about putting in time for and 8-5 everyday lol


I wanted to know how your mom was doing. I had to read back. I kept thinking of you and your mom while I was visiting the gd and kids. I'm so glad she is recovering. I hope that her recovery keeps getting better and better


I hope that the GP is able to find a treatment that provides some relief for you.

I hear you on that!!!!!!!!!! We are eagerly waiting for restrictions to lift here. They have just stepped up the restrictions again One of the variants is spiking numbers again. We have put both ds's on lock down again. I'm trying to keep my chin up...but it's been a long 14 months here.

I'm soooooooooo glad you were able to do that!!!!!!! It helps with our mental health to be with others. We are social beings and need socialization.

I'm glad that he is comfortable. Nurses are the unsung heroes in so many stories.

Enjoy that break!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would deliver a meal to you if I lived closer, just so you could enjoy the down time!!!!!


Buckeev

Well, I should head home. Not sure what I'm cooking tonight, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. Hopefully stop in a little later tonight.

Oh not good news on restrictions being upped again!! It`s hard on everyone but for our kids it is being felt more for them. Hopefully it`s a glitch and won`t be too long till the tide turns again.

Yes, nurses are angels for sure.

Good to see you though and hope you enjoyed something nice for dinner....

Good Thursday evening. Sans family

Thank you Robo....and yes, truly thankful for those nurses and nurses everywhere. They deserve so much more praise than they get at times. Yes, it`s tough not being able to go up, but hopefully soon.

I`m sorry the farmland is being developed. It`s always amazing here how many new homes they developers can fit into any space. Here they are all crammed in together with very little space for each family. People need space.

Glad you made it home safely and can get the details sorted out for the shower. It sounds wonderful and glad you have some other options for bakery items. So many places aren`t surviving this sad time.

Good to see you and glad things are going well......




I can`t believe it`s Friday already.....trying to keep track of days is normally not easy, but this week with Monday being a bank holiday, it`s worse....woke up without a clue what day it is........

Looks a nicer day than forecast, sun is shining and wind has gone, so although it`s only to be around 44F, it won`t feel too bad.

Walk is on the cards this morning again, have to leave some wine outside that`s being collected form one of our wine clubs.....the guy suggested we try some of this stuff, so we ordered four bottles, tried one, didn`t like it. They refund you if you drink a bottle and don`t like it, but when there`s four, they said they`ll pick up the other 3. Fine by us.......the advisor was surprised we didn`t like it, but, hey ho. Plenty more to enjoy.

No idea what to do for dinner tonight yet, will come up with something and bacon for breakfast this morning.

Have a wonderful Friday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Friday, so much for a late start, noisy DH at just when the alarm would have gone off. Guess we are both early risers. At least wash can get done before the sunrise, then a cup of my routine tea still enjoyed in those almost wee hours.

Ack, Charade. Hope the rain was not too bad today. We are having chances of rain today, and the next two days too. Other than damage from flooding, lightning strikes, and power out, I love a good thunderstorm, particularly a Summer one. As the beautiful sunny day usually comes after a good storm.

Been an overcast start, with no rain chance as much today, as weather guy said if any rain to fall today, will be in the late evening hours. Cloudy 62 the high. Will have to see when I peek out, maybe still shorts, though maybe lightweight capris.

Eh, either way, enjoy that Friday feeling!

 

[schumigirl]

Sad to see our lovely Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh has passed away.

99 years old and served our country so well.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Yes agreed Schumi he’s served our country well. Privilege to meet him way way back in 1981 on an ICI Animal Health show stand at the huge agricultural Royal Show in Warwickshire. I have a photograph somewhere in storage!

Had a huge anxiety attack this morning. Out of the blue had a Facebook messenger message from a person I don’t know saying they have information on my ex son in law that would have helped Emma but I have refused to contact them. It is the first such message I’ve received and I think it may be a false account - I know how to check and name given is different to the registered name. Wouldn’t put it past him for it to be ex SIL himself but it has upset me.

Charade hope your new lenses are better suited to you.
Hope your day goes well Keisha.
Robo sounds as organised as usual I’m so impressed. Still hoping for a small baby shower for DIL. Have bought some things in readiness but need to co-ordinate with her Mum.
Morning Lynne a shame you didn’t get a late start.

A tribute programme to Prince Philip already on tv.

 

[Charade67]

Woke up way too early and with a headache. Ugh. I did not sleep well last night because of the cat. He just would not settle down last night and was determined to keep us awake with him. Of course now he is sound asleep on the back of the sofa.

Yesterday in my city there was a wreck involving 2 police cars. No one was injured, thank goodness, but the amusing thing is one of the cars hit a donut shop. What are the odds?

It had actually been very mild where I live. I saw on the news this morning that there was hail in the neighboring city.

That was the first piece of news I saw when I opened Facebook today. So sorry to hear this.

I think you did the right thing by ignoring him. Never feed a troll. It’s a shame that some people have to be so horrible.

I’m debating about trying to get more sleep or just getting up and starting my day. B has been really stressing over several assignments that are due this month. I’m going to put together a stress relief care package for her. I’m thinking something chocolate, a Starbucks gift card (there are 2 locations on campus), some kind of silly stress toy....I’m not sure what else.
My headache is almost gone.

 

[Robo56]

Good Friday morning Sans family



I’am in one of those get up and dance even though you don’t feel like it moods.

Charade I am with you this morning. I woke up with a barn number of a headache too. I attribute it to the weather changing on and off.

How exciting for handling a lot for your granddaughter’s wedding
She will be awed by how you make it magical and a dream come true!

Mac thank you for your confidence in me. I hope she does like it. I hope you are doing well and plotting your next trip to Universal.

That is a long drive you had.
Bet you slept well the first night you arrived up north.

Yes, it’s a long drive. We are always glad to make it home safely. Slept pretty soundly that night for sure.

Robbie - i just love how you make things happen! Off to a great start there

Thank you Keisha. Will share some pictures of the things I’am making for the shower it you all are interested. I like making things. Everyone here on the Sans are creative folks. Always enjoy seeing everyone’s food and creative ideas.

So many empty storefronts here, many of the smaller, specialty shops have fallen on such bleak times.

It’s so sad. I received a call back from the previous bake shop that closed. She apologized about. I wished her well. She said they are going to try and open again sometime in the future if all goes well.

Robo, nice you are hosting. Joyful occasion, and neat theme. Sounds like all is falling in place. Hope you are doing well.

Thank you Lynne. It is a very joyful occasion. We need something to celebrate after such a longtime of uncertainty. Hope you and your family ares doing well?

The eye doc visit went well today. I had been having difficulty ever since I went to progressive lenses. When I complained to my previous doctor he just checked my glasses and told me I had the correct prescription. I decided to try a new Dr. and am still having difficulty seeing clearly.

The optician then called the lab and discussed my situation with someone there. The lab is going to send a different type of lens for me to try. Hopefully these will work bette

Hope they are able to get your glasses straighten out.

You sound like you are going to be very busy, but enjoy it. A Tiffany theme sounds nice.

I really like staying busy and look forward to seeing granddaughter enjoy her shower and wedding.

My phone just buzzed with the announcement that we are under a severe thunderstorm warning. Looks like we will be getting rain for the next few days.

It seems the weather has been all over the place in a lot of areas of the US.

Glad you made it home safely and can get the details sorted out for the shower. It sounds wonderful and glad you have some other options for bakery items. So many places aren`t surviving this sad time.

Good to see you and glad things are going well......

Thank you Schumi......I hope your Uncle is resting comfortably. Morphine drip does wonders to help. Continued prayers for you all.

I read that you are still doing your phone calls. I’am sure all those that hear from you are appreciative of your calls. It is so nice of you to take time to call them. This pandemic has been so hard on everyone, but especially the elderly and the young ones.

Things are falling into place slowly for the Bridal Shower. Lots to do, but it will all come together.

Hope you and your family are doing well. I know they are eating extremely well as you post the delicious food you are preparing.

Sad to see our lovely Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh has passed away.

99 years old and served our country so w

So very sad. I saw Prince Phillip had died this morning when I turned on my laptop. What a devoted husband he was to his wife the Queen. He loved his Queen his Country and his family. May he Rest In Peace.

Had a huge anxiety attack this morning. Out of the blue had a Facebook messenger message from a person I don’t know saying they have information on my ex son in law that would have helped Emma but I have refused to contact them. It is the first such message I’ve received and I think it may be a false account - I know how to check and name given is different to the registered name. Wouldn’t put it past him for it to be ex SIL himself but it has upset me.

Good for you that you did not take the bait on that Facebook message. I’am not involved with Facebook, but I have family that do look at it and it is at times filled with lots of drama. It’s so sad that some of the people that post on there want to be surrounded by drama and conflict all the time. Life is to short to live that way.

I hope your anxiety gets better today.

Robo sounds as organised as usual I’m so impressed. Still hoping for a small baby shower for DIL. Have bought some things in readiness but need to co-ordinate with her Mum.

I hope you are able to have the Baby Shower or help in some way.

Yesterday in my city there was a wreck involving 2 police cars. No one was injured, thank goodness, but the amusing thing is one of the cars hit a donut shop. What are the odds?

Glad to hear no injuries, but Donut Shop. To funny.

Well, I have a hair appointment today.....LOL....I think when she sees my hair she will want to run for the hills......it’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaad. I colored it a couple times while in Florida, but I don’t see all that well to do the roots all over my head and let’s just say it’s not good. Oh and eyebrows need fixing to. She told me in December I needed to color my eyebrows. I agreed as long as I didn’t end up looking like Groucho Marx. It was ok......LOL.....you know your getting old when your eyebrows start turning gray.

Need to get going this morning. Have a wonderful Friday everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Sad, yep news of Prince Philip’s death flashing on my phone.

Oh no Charade, hope you get a nap in today, and headache gone.

Yeah, I ignore trolls too. Deleted as soon as I start to read. I’m sorry an unsolicited Facebook message upset you, Julie. Yeah, I think the amount of online spam stuff has increased lately. Aww, even some of you getting ltogether to celebrate the coming birth would be nice for the mom to be.

Oh no, Robo with a headache too. I hope you are feeling better, and resting with some coffee in your HHN mug. Would enjoy seeing what is crafted for the party. You are very crafty.

Ah, finally quiet enough in the house. Older one has one morning class, and little one has none. Lucky girl. I don’t expect to see her until around noon. Three weeks, and her semester is done.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Yea!

Young & old, sadly enough

Well, as long as they signed off on it...

One of my DS mentioned the local top golf is a mile or two away from the cemetery tomorrow. Believe he is still feeling the burn from that one lol

& another one gets the fluff

Schumi so very sorry to hear of your Uncles illness......Hospice Nurses are truly Angels. It is I’am sure comforting to your Uncle to be able to stay home surrounded by his family. I know it has to be hard on your Mum and you not being able to travel to Scotland. Sending lots of prayers for everyone.

Charade glad to hear your mom is progressing.

We traveled back to Indiana on Easter Sunday. Thought perhaps the traffic would be better while everyone was home celebrating. The traffic was good until just past Downtown Atlanta. Then it bogged down for awhile.

We needed to get home as I’am giving granddaughters Bridal Shower in May. I mentioned this before I think. So I need to get going on things. The bakery I had spoken to at end of December to do the bake goods for the shower has gone out of business. So sad another Covid business casualty.

Walk is on the cards this morning again, have to leave some wine outside that`s being collected form one of our wine clubs.....the guy suggested we try some of this stuff, so we ordered four bottles, tried one, didn`t like it. They refund you if you drink a bottle and don`t like it, but when there`s four, they said they`ll pick up the other 3. Fine by us.......the advisor was surprised we didn`t like it, but, hey ho. Plenty more to enjoy.

No idea what to do for dinner tonight yet, will come up with something and bacon for breakfast this morning.

Have a wonderful Friday ​

May grab another bottle or two of wine today. DD and I are meeting at Cooper's Hawk Restaurant for lunch, and they sell wine in their little store. Have you ever been to a Cooper's Hawk?

Friday, so much for a late start, noisy DH at just when the alarm would have gone off. Guess we are both early risers. At least wash can get done before the sunrise, then a cup of my routine tea still enjoyed in those almost wee hours.

Ack, Charade. Hope the rain was not too bad today. We are having chances of rain today, and the next two days too. Other than damage from flooding, lightning strikes, and power out, I love a good thunderstorm, particularly a Summer one. As the beautiful sunny day usually comes after a good storm.

Been an overcast start, with no rain chance as much today, as weather guy said if any rain to fall today, will be in the late evening hours. Cloudy 62 the high. Will have to see when I peek out, maybe still shorts, though maybe lightweight capris.

Eh, either way, enjoy that Friday feeling!

I'm envious that you can get chores done before sunrise. I'd never have that kind of energy even if I rose early. Bravo!

Sad to see our lovely Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh has passed away.

99 years old and served our country so well.

I was so sad to read this when I woke this morning. Really the beginning of the end of a very historical era.

Yes agreed Schumi he’s served our country well. Privilege to meet him way way back in 1981 on an ICI Animal Health show stand at the huge agricultural Royal Show in Warwickshire. I have a photograph somewhere in storage!

Had a huge anxiety attack this morning. Out of the blue had a Facebook messenger message from a person I don’t know saying they have information on my ex son in law that would have helped Emma but I have refused to contact them. It is the first such message I’ve received and I think it may be a false account - I know how to check and name given is different to the registered name. Wouldn’t put it past him for it to be ex SIL himself but it has upset me.

Charade hope your new lenses are better suited to you.
Hope your day goes well Keisha.
Robo sounds as organised as usual I’m so impressed. Still hoping for a small baby shower for DIL. Have bought some things in readiness but need to co-ordinate with her Mum.
Morning Lynne a shame you didn’t get a late start.

A tribute programme to Prince Philip already on tv.

Neat that you met Prince Phillip! Cooler than a celebrity encounter!

Woke up way too early and with a headache. Ugh. I did not sleep well last night because of the cat. He just would not settle down last night and was determined to keep us awake with him. Of course now he is sound asleep on the back of the sofa.

Yesterday in my city there was a wreck involving 2 police cars. No one was injured, thank goodness, but the amusing thing is one of the cars hit a donut shop. What are the odds?


It had actually been very mild where I live. I saw on the news this morning that there was hail in the neighboring city.

That was the first piece of news I saw when I opened Facebook today. So sorry to hear this.


I think you did the right thing by ignoring him. Never feed a troll. It’s a shame that some people have to be so horrible.

I’m debating about trying to get more sleep or just getting up and starting my day. B has been really stressing over several assignments that are due this month. I’m going to put together a stress relief care package for her. I’m thinking something chocolate, a Starbucks gift card (there are 2 locations on campus), some kind of silly stress toy....I’m not sure what else.
My headache is almost gone.

A+ mom award!! Still gotta look out for our adult kiddos! College can certainly be stressful at times!






I ended up with sushi take out for dinner last night. Raw tuna and salmon rolls, and a cooked shrimp roll. They had avocado, sesame seeds, tobiko, cream cheese, a wee bit of spicy sauce and eel sauce.
Sooooo good!!!

I need to call the vet and get meds for the dogs. Barney takes an allergy pill. The poor guy used to lick himself incessantly, until we gave him those pills. And Hatley has a really bad thyroid. She started losing all of her fur at the age of 4. It took a lot of expensive lab tests to figure out her thyroid basically stopped working. Since being on the medication, her coat grew back fully and all is ok. She takes levothyroxine, which is the same as what humans can take....kinda interesting.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, dogs get same issues we get, Paris. My female lab had grass allergies. Pushed allergy pills into her throat. 2 man job, as she hated taking those pills, and we found them in the carpet sometimes. The male lab, whenever needed pills, pill in a hot dog slice or in peanut butter, gulped that down. He didn’t care pills were in the food. Glad to hear you can treat both of your dogs’s issues.

And so, I can hear older one’s class. Sigh. I need more tea, and a snack. Off to enjoy a long hot shower though. Freshly washed towels are always why I like to do wash on my lazy Friday.

Good Friday morning Sans family

I’am in one of those get up and dance even though you don’t feel like it moods.

Charade I am with you this morning. I woke up with a barn number of a headache too. I attribute it to the weather changing on and off.





Mac thank you for your confidence in me. I hope she does like it. I hope you are doing well and plotting your next trip to Universal.




Yes, it’s a long drive. We are always glad to make it home safely. Slept pretty soundly that night for sure.




Thank you Keisha. Will share some pictures of the things I’am making for the shower it you all are interested. I like making things. Everyone here on the Sans are creative folks. Always enjoy seeing everyone’s food and creative ideas.




It’s so sad. I received a call back from the previous bake shop that closed. She apologized about. I wished her well. She said they are going to try and open again sometime in the future if all goes well.




Thank you Lynne. It is a very joyful occasion. We need something to celebrate after such a longtime of uncertainty. Hope you and your family ares doing well?




Hope they are able to get your glasses straighten out.




I really like staying busy and look forward to seeing granddaughter enjoy her shower and wedding.




It seems the weather has been all over the place in a lot of areas of the US.




Thank you Schumi......I hope your Uncle is resting comfortably. Morphine drip does wonders to help. Continued prayers for you all.

I read that you are still doing your phone calls. I’am sure all those that hear from you are appreciative of your calls. It is so nice of you to take time to call them. This pandemic has been so hard on everyone, but especially the elderly and the young ones.

Things are falling into place slowly for the Bridal Shower. Lots to do, but it will all come together.

Hope you and your family are doing well. I know they are eating extremely well as you post the delicious food you are preparing.




So very sad. I saw Prince Phillip had died this morning when I turned on my laptop. What a devoted husband he was to his wife the Queen. He loved his Queen his Country and his family. May he Rest In Peace.




Good for you that you did not take the bait on that Facebook message. I’am not involved with Facebook, but I have family that do look at it and it is at times filled with lots of drama. It’s so sad that some of the people that post on there want to be surrounded by drama and conflict all the time. Life is to short to live that way.

I hope your anxiety gets better today.




I hope you are able to have the Baby Shower or help in some way.




Glad to hear no injuries, but Donut Shop. To funny.

Well, I have a hair appointment today.....LOL....I think when she sees my hair she will want to run for the hills......it’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaad. I colored it a couple times while in Florida, but I don’t see all that well to do the roots all over my head and let’s just say it’s not good. Oh and eyebrows need fixing to. She told me in December I needed to color my eyebrows. I agreed as long as I didn’t end up looking like Groucho Marx. It was ok......LOL.....you know your getting old when your eyebrows start turning gray.

Need to get going this morning. Have a wonderful Friday everyone.

Robbie, we would love to see whatever creations you would like to share.....I`m sure everything will be lovely.

Good luck with the hairdresser...it`s always lovely to get it done and so many of us, really need it doing.....

Yes, the phone calls have been completely delightful to do. I`m very lucky to be able to chat to some very lovely people a few times a week. And we`re all doing good thank you....

And thank you for the good wishes for my lovely uncle. I believe his granddaughters will be able to be with him in hospital despite Covid restrictions as he is so close to the end. That`s a comfort to know.

Thinking of your family today...


Thank you Pumpkin! You really made my day with your sweet offer!!


You said my favorite word..."Tiffany"!!
What a lovely theme....hope you can share some photos when the day comes!


Used football! I like that....I may borrow it!


May grab another bottle or two of wine today. DD and I are meeting at Cooper's Hawk Restaurant for lunch, and they sell wine in their little store. Have you ever been to a Cooper's Hawk?

It`s funny you mention Coopers Hawk. We have booked to go twice and never made it. First time someone who we adore asked us to meet them for a drink somewhere else, so we cancelled and then we planned to go last May with the lady who used to be the Manager in the Club Lounge as it`s her favourite restaurant, but of course that never happened.....we will make it some time.......

Yes, sad news for the Queen and the whole family. He was quite a character and those of us that ever met any of them certainly prefer that to most celebrities. Seen many comment over the last year or so the Royal Family is outdated, but to many of us, it certainly isn`t. I know we admire "most" of them.....obvious exclusions of course.......

You had me at sushi ....we have to enjoy some sushi together at RP next time we`re there at the same time.....whenever that may be!!





Beautiful but quite cool day today. Sun has shone all day and we enjoyed a long walk on the beach this morning....managed our 10,000 steps easy today......feet are a testament to that tonight!

Made some phone calls this afternoon, Tom left to do some deliveries so I got some more reading done on the Book Thief (getting through it Lori) I really need peace and quiet to take this one in. It`s not my most favourite book I`ve ever read, took a while to care about the characters.

Tom got the barbecue out tonight and we had grilled maple bbq pork steaks, some locally produced sausages and a few side dishes. All very nice and tasty.

Quiet night tonight......some tv might be in our plans I think and the odd email or two......

making a quick stop in!!!

Granddaughter M told me she would love a Tiffany themed Bridal Shower. She is the sweetest granddaughter. She is our last granddaughter to be getting married. I also did our oldest granddaughters Bridal Shower a number of years ago. So have a fair idea what goes into the planning process.

That sounds like a lovely party!!! I love that " Tiffany " blue color. Your gd is lucky to have such an amazing Grandmother who would pitch in to help out like that. I helped ( did most of the $$$ & planning) for our dd's bridal shower. It was fun. I loved it. Her bridesmaids were not able to help out much and I wanted dd to have a wonderful bridal shower. It was a lovely day. We had fun during the day, and maybe a little more fun at the stagette that night Her crazy Aunts provided lots of entertainment and stayed up partying with all the young ones until the end!!!! We had a blast!

The eye doc visit went well today. I had been having difficulty ever since I went to progressive lenses. When I complained to my previous doctor he just checked my glasses and told me I had the correct prescription. I decided to try a new Dr. and am still having difficulty seeing clearly. Today the new doc checked my eyes and told me the prescription was correct. Then he talked to the optician and suggested I try a different type of lens. The optician then called the lab and discussed my situation with someone there. The lab is going to send a different type of lens for me to try. Hopefully these will work better.

I hear you. I now have progrssives as well now, I am still having some trouble with mine. I have been wearing glasses since I have been 13...so it's not because I'm not used to wearing glasses. I'm going to get my eyes retested here once restrictions lift again. The ones I have are just not quite right.

Sad to see our lovely Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh has passed away.

99 years old and served our country so well.

I was very saddened to hear this when I opened my phone this morning. He seen a lifetime huge changes, and had a lifetime filled with so many royal duties, it makes me tired just thinking of all he did in the name of " service". As part of the Commonwealth, (and probably an age that came from watching and following the Royals) , we don't think they are outdated. They are slowly changing with the times.

Had a huge anxiety attack this morning. Out of the blue had a Facebook messenger message from a person I don’t know saying they have information on my ex son in law that would have helped Emma but I have refused to contact them. It is the first such message I’ve received and I think it may be a false account - I know how to check and name given is different to the registered name. Wouldn’t put it past him for it to be ex SIL himself but it has upset me.

Trolls....I HATE them. You have more strength than me.

She told me in December I needed to color my eyebrows. I agreed as long as I didn’t end up looking like Groucho Marx. It was ok......LOL.....you know your getting old when your eyebrows start turning gray.

I color my brows. Not because of greys (yet) but because mine are sparse and in the summer they tend to get lighter with all the sunlight. Looking like Groucho Marx was a fear of mine too. My brow girl does a fabulous job on mine. When I have them done, I am not needing to try to fill them in to make then look normal. My girl times the amount of time that she leaves the color on. We also do the ends 2x because they are more resistant to the color...but soooooooooooooo worth the money to get them done.

I ended up with sushi take out for dinner last night. Raw tuna and salmon rolls, and a cooked shrimp roll. They had avocado, sesame seeds, tobiko, cream cheese, a wee bit of spicy sauce and eel sauce.
Sooooo good!!!

YUM!!!!!!!!!! I love a good sushi meal! I'm glad you had a great evening!!!

Well, I see it's lunch time, so I'm going to run and get my lunch!!!

Have a great day hommies!!!!!!!!

Had a quiet afternoon but my DS called by and also had a flower delivery as it is my birthday today and also our anniversary. Had more calls and messages than ever before as so many friends are at home at the moment. One in particular from my nephew in London was a lovely catch up as their first baby is due in 4 weeks.
Emma brought our meal from M&S so a no cooking day for me.

All our major channels are doing continuous coverage of Prince Philip so we will be picking a movie to watch soon as it’s repeating what we’ve seen now.

 

[macraven]

Happy birthday and anniversary!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Thought I would pop in. I'm finally all caught up from our trip to see the GD and kiddos. It was a fun little trip. GD and I had a blast playing together. Grammie brought some interesting new toys for her to play with. I had been researching activities for us to do together. I found two that were great for her motor skills that she LOVED!!!!

Grammie cooked Easter dinner, we got to color eggs, and we got to see her do her easter egg hunt. We didn't want to miss out on anything this year. It was perfect!!!

We brought their 2 dogs home with us. With DD working at her new job, and sil working, and the dogs having anxiety about all the packing boxes around, they have NOT been good boys...so they are staying with us for the next three weeks. They are super sweet, and we are enjoying having them around us again. I took one of the for a walk last night. Let me just say is is NOT a great walker on a leash He cracks me up. He definitely doesn't have the brightest bulb in his head, but we love him for that. He is going to get lots of walking practice in with Grammie for the next couple of weeks lol.

Well...I should get packed up for the day!!!! Thank god this day is done. It's been what feels like a 48 hr work day today lol.
Have a great evening everyone!!!!!!
