Trying to catch up. Been busy here. We have been re-doing our deck. It’s off 2nd floor. Our old one had rotting floor boards and top rail was rotting too. Husbands friend talked him into doing it together
. I told him to just hire a company to do it. But he was swayed. So they did it and I knew he’d be hurting and broke down! Today was just the finishing stuff. I’ll stain it maybe at end of summer. I heard you have to let treated wood sit awhile before staining? Will have to look into it.
I saw corn topic! I can’t wait for our local corn to come in! It’s so good. Sweet and crispy. My fav is the peaches & cream. That’s the yellow and white. But we have very good all yellow too, called super sweet. Nothing like summer bbq & corn!
Schumi good to hear things are going well over there. Does Boris own a comb? Lol.
Here we are still at no indoor dining, gyms, etc. And no traveling outside health authority until Victoria Day, May 24 weekend. Numbers are dropping with the restrictions reinstated. And vaccines are going quite fast now, after earlier supply problems. I think we were getting from Belgium? My youngest had her appt on 19th. She’s 30. Soon they will start booking 18+. It was determined everyone would get 1st jab before they start booking 2nd.
Charade, only a short trip arriving Oct 2nd. My California friends didn’t consult with me, figuring I wouldn’t be able to travel to the US yet. So I have to leave early on 9th. I want to be home for our Thanksgiving on the 10th. Technically Thanksgiving is Monday Oct 11, but I’ve always had the dinner on the Sunday a habit from my working days. So I could relax Monday before going back to work. Doesn’t matter now, just a habit.
Keisha & Lynne I wish it was only a 2 hr flight! I fly Alaska it’s a 30 min commuter flight to Seatac then 5.5-6hr direct to MCO. I had flight credits so my flight to mco was only $75, would have been $412
then $311 coming home. So yeah fares are creeping up. I figure once Canada travel opens it will be even higher.
Sometimes I make the 3 hr drive down to Seattle because flights are cheaper. But I’m going to be in a hurry to get home this trip.
Fingers crossed border will be open by Oct. we should be fully vaccinated by July I figure.
Pumpkin I bet your boys were happy to be sprung! Glad they were ok. Alberta is a mess I hear. Ugh.
I’m hoping we get our second jab by mid -late July.
Ive heard rumours of vaccine passport. But of course nothing official. Seems all the Provinces are at different stages
My daughter graduated with her Bachelors just as Covid started. She got a box in the mail with her degree, grad cap, balloons and chocolate lol. She didn’t care, more me that was let down.
J’amie Paris oooh that shingles shot sounds miserable. My friend got the first one and reacted so badly she couldn’t have the 2nd one. Sounds like good advice from pharmacist.
Schumi glad to hear weather is improving! We’ve had an odd spring here but it’s warming up nicely now.
Flu shots are common here. I have been getting one yearly for a few years. Ever since I had a bad flu, cracked 2 ribs from coughing and landed for a weeks hospital stay. On the news they were saying next year may be a doozy for flu since we didn’t have any this year so our immunity is low.
Charade sounds like we’re still on same sleeping schedule or lack of!
Sorry about the gas situation, that’s pretty scary that can happen. You’d think these big companies would have beefed up their security knowing other companies were hacked.
Cam thanks for the Trip update! Sounds great! And yay for getting to ride the Velocicoster! How scary was it? Lol. That coming out of your seat part sounds scary. I’d feel better with shoulder harness! We love RP too. But last few stays have been HRH. Walk is so short! And it’s usually only HRH guests using the security gate as Portofino guests generally take the boat.
I agree, I don’t think CL is worth it until things return to normal.
Pumpkin glad your lungs are better. 5k pretty good! I need to get out and walk more now that deck is done.
What part of Mexico are you looking at? We enjoyed Puerto Vallarta. Hope our border opens by fall.
Charade I can’t tell you how many pairs of sunglasses are at the bottom of the ocean from paddling lol. But I do use cheap ones When in the boat or at the beach so no loss.
Am I too late for the bacon? You know what gets this crowd going!
Close call with the pot holder. Yikes.
Schumi it will be an odd feeling going out without a mask. Canada isn’t there yet. But our vaccines here in British Columbia are really ramping up. So I guess when we’re all fully vaccinated with 2nd shot this will happen here too. I hear mask mandate is being dropped in US for those who have had 2nd jab. But I wonder how will they know who’s had 2nd jab
Realfoods hang in there. I’ve been MIA a lot too. Just not much happening these days! Good luck with the vaccine tomorrow.
Ksdave I hope Uni drops mask for walking around outside but keeps it for rides and indoor places.
Tomorrow is supposed to be nice again. Actually lots of sunny days ahead. Tomorrow going to meet a girlfriend for coffee. Going to check out a new coffee place, as things are still take out only we will take our coffees and walk a block to a square and sit as we have a catch up. Then have to go pick up dig food!
Saturday my brother in law and a mutual friend who just separated from his wife are coming for dinner. I think we’ll bbq back ribs. It will be nice enough to sit outside to dine.
Also Saturday A.M. I’m going for a paddle down at the inlet. Should be a beautiful morning for it.

I am not a big roller coaster fan but I will try them at least once. It was probably the fastest, smoothest coaster I have ridden. Not real jerky, but you do come out of your seat once or twice. Also, it never slows down. Lots of twists and turns. The track does not have a huge footprint, it overlaps itself. It was fun and I will probably ride it again but next time I will take everything out of my pockets.
