What a pretty place for a walk. It looks so peaceful.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne.....nice pic, looks nice for a walk.



Chatty night tonight after all.....had a few zoom chats to cousins over the other side of the country, always interesting. One works for the police, she’s with CID and is always so busy, so it’s nice to sit for an hour and chat about things. Chatted to my mum too and she’s doing great which is good to hear.

Still cold here tonight and read that the UK is to be as cold as Russia on Monday. Not looking forward to that......

Almost time for bed here.......

 

[macraven]

Spent the day doing a lot of cleaning a couple of upstairs rooms

Lost track of the time.

long story short.... just now doing kitchen clean up.

Hope all the homies are doing fine!

 

[Lynne G]

Ack, late night dinner for Mac. Kitchen clean up no fun, no matter the hour.

And so, kids very chatty and I’m tired.

Good night homies. Yay, the weekend is here!

 

[macraven]

Lynne yea it was a late dinner for us tonight !
.... but I made him a couple of drinks and don’t think he could tell what time it was when we finally did eat.

No leftovers tonight so will be cooking again on Saturday

Good Friday night Sans family

You must be the fun Auntie!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to be that Auntie!!!!!!!!!!! Your wonderful to be that person for them. Every family need " one " of those people.

I hope I’m the fun Auntie......LOL......Sounds like you will be one of those Aunties too. I sure do Enjoy spending time with my little buddy.

Other than that...pretty uneventful night. Older DS wrote his last exam and is now a second year electrician. So he gets a raise when he goes back to work on Monday. He was the top of his class. Pretty proud of that kid. Trades people in the coming years will be in VERY high demand. Hopefully he keeps on his game plan.

Congratulations to your son.

Sounds like a joy spending time with the great nephew.....he sounds adorable.

He is so fun. It’s is so wonderful to see him exploring everything around him. He is a very smart little fella.

And sister bought these neat plants when we went to the plant store:

What kind of flower plant is that?

When I lived in Miami we would see the tiny lizards all the time. They would get in the house a lot. Annoying, but harmless.

Yes, they do find their way in the house sometimes.

I also decided to buy a couple of shirts to wear to Disney. I found one that I really like, but not sure if I am brave enough to wear. It's a little snarky.

Be fearless and buy it.

Thank you all for good wishes for nephew’s new baby. Yes Mac always precious and just sorry he moved away as not easy to visit now.

Congratulations on the new baby in the family.

I was very excited this week, I was able to score tickets to the Velocicoaster annual passholder preview 2nd to the 5th. I am not sure if Liv is going, she has exams starting. Charlie might go but Brian and I are defitnely going. I hope they have it organized good. I will let everyone know how it is. We go on the 2nd I hope the first day isn't the crazy one.

Nice score on the AP preview tickets. Please do come back and share your views on the new coaster.

Robbie Nice that you had time with your great nephew, enjoy as much as you can. Sorry about your flowers, I hope your cold weather goes away. We have a community pool in ours but it is rather small for the amount of homes. I am glad that we have our own, Brian has a harder time with them. I am more adaptable to ones. Lazy days are always needed. Have a great evening.

Are weather has Improved nicely. It has warmed up.

The pool in the community we live in has a very large pool that has swim lanes. It is never busy and I’am thankful for that. I enjoy swimming so it has been very nice to have so close.

It's been busier than I could have imagined! We made a huge decision to sell both of our condos......
We've been swamped for days to get them in pristine shape and ready to sell. The listings are active and showings will begin Wednesday morning.

The market is so incredibly hot down here right now. We went round and round with the pros and cons, but decided we will take the earnings from the condos and reinvest.
It's bittersweet for me....I love this place! And I'm getting teary eyed thinking about it...

I know it has to be hard letting go of your condos.

I don’t think you will have any problems selling. As you said the market down south is hot. Two houses went up for sell in our gated community and they were gone in 48 hours.

The sellers market is on. People are coming from New York and New Jersey and making cash offers on homes for almost double the asking price.

Good luck to you and hubby on your sells.

Good Monday all . Catching up after a rather horrible week that had family member in hospital two days. Think on right track now at least but eeeeek. Moving forward thru what seems to be inevitable garbage hitting the fan before a trip lol

Keisha hope you family member is doing better.....prayers for speedy recovery.

Oh my, scary stuff. is It anacondas or Pythons lurking in tthe FL swamps

Pythons so big they are trying to swallow medium size Gators.

I’ll be standing next to charade while others are doing that coaster ride...

we will hold their bags or belongings for them

we will do that because we are good homies

There might be a few bag holders......LOL

We have very long waiting lists here now for investigations but if I lose consciousness again have to go straight there. Could pay privately as we have a very good private hospital nearby but stable at the moment.

Sending prayers your way that you get the Cardiac help you need.

And today our lovely macraven is celebrating a special day as it`s her wedding anniversary...

Happy Belated Anniversary wishes to Mac and her hubby

Our nephew FaceTimed last night - baby is absolutely gorgeous but still in the hospital as not feeding sufficiently and they are disappointed as having to supplement feeds. I said the same happens a lot with early babies not quite ready to face the world - but I remember being tearful myself all those years ago when I had to give Em bottles. Didn’t stress about it with DS.

Beautiful baby......sending prayers that the little one starts doing better. Sometimes it takes a few tries before they get going well.

Early am dentist appt again today. Swelling subsided around the one molar, able to toss some more resin on it. Not root canaled, was quite sensitive for a bit there.

Hope you get your dental issues sorted out.

Got my Pfizer first shot and now waiting for another 8 minutes or so. Alarm set for 15 minutes that goes off when you are done. Doctor that did shot I think could be my kid. She was so young, but very nice, as I hate shots. Was easy, and about less than a 5 minute drive. Little one with me, as done classes and oddly has finals on Friday, then the o

Good luck on your injections Lynne.

Well, woke up around 3am, with some aching in my arm, so took some medicine, and went back to sleep. Did wake up just before alarm, so told DH I’m doing a long hot shower. So between the two of those, my arm does feel much better. So if that is the only side effect, I’m fine with it.

Hope your arm feels better soon.

Test results are in....and drum roll please It's positive for covid

So I'm still quarantining in the bedroom. The rest of the family has their designated areas. Hubby did give me a belly laugh....he ordered in pizza for supper, and delivered it to the bedroom wearing his full mudding rain suit, a close faced helmet WITH a mask underneath, and wearing my dishwashing gloves Gotta make the best of it where we can lol.
He also went outside to check on something in the shed, and I opened the window and started chanting " let me out, let me out " So far the neighbors haven't called the cops on us. I'm sure we will tell them across the fence.

Spent most of the day on the phone with varying phonecalls. UGH...now to tell my family I'm positive for covid. That should go over really well

I am feeling alright and no real serious symptoms yet. DH and the boys are now quarantining and go for testing tomorrow.

Sorry to hear you got positive Covid results. I hope you don’t get to sick. Sending lots of get well wishes to you.

The fact you and your hubby have such a good sense of humor helps a lot. Laughter is good medicine.

My lunchtime walk, as decided to walk along the path in the park next to the river.

Pretty area to walk in Lynne.

Chatted to my mum too and she’s doing great which is good to hear.

Still cold here tonight and read that the UK is to be as cold as Russia on Monday. Not looking forward to that......

So nice to hear you mum is doing great. Hopefully the cold weather won’t last long.

Happy trails to Keisha and hubby. Enjoy your vacation.






Schumi I laugh every time I look at this. That’s what I have felt like past number of days LOL




Have a good night everyone. I will leave on the light.

 

[macraven]

Robbie is such a nice homie to leave the light on

(I hate stubbing my toes after midnight)

 

[Charade67]

That’s a great nightlight. How did I miss posting that one back when I was leaving the light on?

 

[Charade67]

It’s officially May. I can finally say I’m going to Disney this month.

 

[macraven]

Woot for charade
Her count down has begun!

 

[Realfoodfans]

Nice to see Robo calling in.

Well done Mac on all that cleaning. I feel good when a room has been “bottomed” as we say here.

Hoping Pumpkin is feeling better today.

Hooray for a Disney countdown Charade. We have a Disney chalkboard for a daily countdown when we go.

Good news from nephew they were allowed home yesterday. DB and SIL on their way down today - luckily their DIL family have an apartment that is for sale and empty nearby and they will stay there for just a couple of nights.

We are driving up to Yorkshire this morning. Just want to stop for some flowers on the way.

Happy weekend all x

 

[macraven]

Good Morning sleepy heads

I’ll come back at noontime and see you then!

Hope all are fine!

 

[Lynne G]

Woot! Charade’s month to enjoy vacation.

Woot to hear from Robo.

Yay for new baby to see grandparents, Julie. Nice to take advantage of housing while visiting their baby grandchild.


Absolutely beautiful sunrise and sun streaming into window with so bright. 45 out, and another brisk windy feeling day. But at least the clouds were blown outta here, and a clear sunrise was seen, and a peak out a few minutes ago, and still a glorious blue sky.

Not much planned. Some get the trash out, pick up some ordered items that came in, and do some grocery shopping with a gas refill. Typical Saturday. And a perfect one too.



Woot! Yay the first day of May!

Oh and Good Morning, and yes, I’ve had more than two cups of tea so far.

 

[Charade67]

Time for a new countdown.

The lost soul has found her way back!!

I just quickly scanned at least a half dozen pages....a lot happens in a few days on the SANS.
A quick shout out to Mac and her DH for a very happy anniversary!
Precious, beautiful baby photo!
Wishing good health to anyone dealing with doctors, sickness, etc.....
Great vacations to those who have some fun planned!!

We worked incredibly hard and got the condos all ship shape to sell!
We have a cash offer on one unit, and the inspection is scheduled for Monday. If all goes smoothly, we will close in 2.5 weeks
The other condo got an offer with a contingency, which we rejected. We have another offer, to which we gave a counter offer. And a showing is set for this morning. Possibly one of these will be "the one".
It's mind blowing how quickly it seems to be progressing! I may have seen the places for the last time...

DD and 3 friends drove 17 hours to the condos for one last celebration. They left Milwaukee on Thursday at 1pm, and arrived in Alabama on Friday at 6am. I'm happy they are able to have some fun before finals week and DDs graduation.

I had my second Covid shot on Thursday. Apart from a sore arm again, no side effects. Very thankful for that!

DH and I are going to a Kentucky Derby party today. I need to get my derby hat out from the basement. Should be a fun time!

Happy Sunny Saturday to all!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Paris, good to hear sales are doing okay. Say Southern real estate is a sellers market and many going cash sale double the asking price. Good luck you get great offers. And yay for second shot. Mine is in a few weeks, and also hope no side effects or just the soreness I also had in my arm, as the only I felt.

Such a good day so far. Went for a walk, shorts still on, as a bit cool feeling, but with the bright sun, such a beautiful Spring day, even with the high being 63.

 

[macraven]

Lori... did you buy a lot of the sausage while in Alabama?

nice countdown pic charade!

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all checking in, having great time. Rope dropped MK & Polished off everything we wanted to do before noon. Did see a slap down fight in buzz lightyear over social distancing disturbing

Room view, the upgrade I politely declined from
Avis-a tank, had our own boat to MK!
Take care all

 

[Charade67]

Happy Saturday!

We were going to go see a musical at the university today until dh realized that he bought tickets for next Saturday. So instead we decided to do some vacation shopping. We picked up shampoo, sunscreen, and other things needed for the trip. Dh also bought a couple of swimsuits. We also dropped off some storage containers with B so she could start packing up her dorm room.

Woot for charade
Her count down has begun!

3 weeks from today.

Hooray for a Disney countdown Charade. We have a Disney chalkboard for a daily countdown when we go.

I have 2 apps on my phone. One is for Disney and the other for Unoversal.

We worked incredibly hard and got the condos all ship shape to sell!

Hope the sales go quickly and smoothly.

I had my second Covid shot on Thursday. Apart from a sore arm again, no side effects. Very thankful for that!

Awesome
