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

[Charade67]

We just lost power at the office.

 

[Charade67]

I think more like Thunder, Charade. Think top speed is only like 35 mph. You sit in a row of four, and there’s, I think 6 rows, so it’s a big car. In the dark most of the ride, but you see things, which is half the fun. That and the last drop is fun, as you don’t expect it if you’ve never ridden it. I won’t do RRR, Hulk nor the new Dino coaster. Will do the others though, as also I like Hagrid’s too.

Oh good. I can handle a coaster like BTM. There are a few rides at Universal I have never ridden. I may try some this time.

Then I got smacked down with the worst case of bronchitis I have had in many moons

Hope you have a quick recovery.

They say that flu and cold is worse now than it was last winter.

Not what I wanted to hear. The last cold I had was in February 2020 and I would like to keep it that way.

Same....I love my food and carbs. I've lost 40 lbs.

Congratulations!

Yay! Power just came back on.

 

[J'aime Paris]

I think Seaworld might blow Universal away with their Halloween event this year, it looks phenomenal!

So far everything looks amazing whereas, there are a few houses at UO I wouldn`t have been interested in.

It really does!

I saw 2 UO houses last October. They had them open during the daytime even thought HHN was canceled. I'm a wimp, but they were scary to me!!

Donuts? We have yet to get the big pink one, as little one not a strawberry fan. It’s a Taco Tuesday so Mac may be enjoying some Taco Bell fair. Us? Enjoying a Finnegan’s lunch. Still hot, sunny, humid. We did get lucky, and walked up. Finished and full.,

I've always had a good meal at Finnegans. Hope yours was good too!!

So sorry to hear this.

Thank you

Sounds like you were busy and that your dd is settled in now.

Sorry to hear about dh's Grandma. It is great you got to see and spend some time with her.

Glad to hear the dryer was an inexpensive fix!

Yes, DD is settled and getting excited for orientation next week!

Thank you. We are happy that we got to see grandma while she is still herself.

Happy booster mac…….hope you have no side effects from this one, and as always good luck for the dental work tomorrow……never fun. Think our boosters are later in the year.

We made shrimp in a home made sweet and spicy sauce with noodles…….delicious! Hope you enjoy your food…….



Hey pumpkin……just saw you pop in there…….nah, I don’t mind the rain, and as long as it’s not cold and windy at the same time…….I don’t mind it…….

Enjoy the rest of your day……and glad your dryer is working.




All the donut talk from Tony has made me think and wonder why I’ve never made us home made donut burgers like the ones we get from Teak Neighborhood Grill……..so might do that at the weekend……they are lush! Add in bacon and jalapeños, no cheese for me and we have a meal with sweet potato fries.

Outside lights came on around 8.30 tonight, completely dark by 9pm……winter is coming Jon Snow……..

Tonic water with slices of lime tonight…….

I can get onboard with that donut burger! Minus the jalapenos and add the cheese for me, lol!

I am so dragging it today. I was up a little late to see if the Disney xmas after hours party tickets were online. Then I woke up before 5am CT again to see if they were up and then again at 6am CT. Finally got them. I didn't sleep between the 5 and 6am wakings and then couldn't sleep for a while after 6am. Slept in though and had to rush to get to my obgyn appointment. Didn't have time to eat breakfast or lunch, which is probably what's dragging me down. Then I got to have a fun and painful procedure at the doc, since I always have abnormal pap smears That took it out of me. Comforted myself with a shake and banana bread from a local fast food burger chain. Will have to leave in a bit to pick up our son from his first day of school. It's really his first day of in-person high school, since he schooled remotely all last year except 2 days. Thank goodness he, and us, are vaccinated. All of our ICU beds are full here, so we are trying to play cave hermit again.

Glad you snagged those tickets...you earned them!!

Hope your procedure went well...obgyn visits aren't always pleasant...

We are currently under a flash flood watch and a tornado warning. Fun times.

Meanwhile. Here are some before and after pics of the bannister by our stairs.

Very nice change!!

Mummy fun with MonyK. We be holding the furthest back seats. And yeah, I’m always the one not seeing where the camera was. LoL

Having a great day, still some crowds, but met up with MonyK and her youngest DD for some afternoon fun. Now just hanging out with MonyK, as little one is so happy not to be a single rider, dino hunting again. Not me, though. But do like mummy as shown above. Hargrid’s had no virtual today, so if we decide to ride, we keep checking for lower wait times. They’ve been high most of the day. And oddly, hulk is a 5 minute wait. Who da think. 30 for the dino, which is why they decided to ride now. Still hot out.

One of my favorite rides... Glad you're having FUN, FUN, FUN!!

you’d be out of luck in my ‘city of bridges’...446 at last count. many tend to stick to their own neighborhoods/side of the bridges. I’m more of a tunnel avoider.

aw, sorry to hear. My Mom was doing very well until an undiagnosed UTI landed her in nursing home

446 Bridges!! What was your town planner thinking??? You need to PM me where you live....so I never accidentally go there...LOL!!

Thank you....The meds to treat were having bad side effects in many other areas. At 94, there is only so much a person can tolerate. She's tired and her wishes are to receive only comfort care at this point.

Managed to order a few things he doesn`t know about and one is a special bottle of wine he has been talking about for a while and said he might like to get it. But, I already ordered it and had it sent to a friends house. Will have to pick it up when he`s not there, quite hard for a couple who are barely ever 3 feet away from each other. Might need to organise a girly chat to go get it on my own.

Shorts this morning again and will head out sooner as it`s so nice.

And again, no idea for dinner tonight.......either turkey or shrimp sandwiches today for lunch and as the farmer dropped us off a load of eggs last night, poached eggs for breakfast.........

Tummy is rumbling this morning.....

Happy Wednesday ​

Oooooh, a special bday wine?? I'm intrigued!!! I'll bet its fabulous!!

Ah yes, fancy camel here to say, hump of a day Wednesday is here, and ooh that means Friday is two more days after today.

Was a nice night, said goodbye to MonyK, having shared dinner with her. And nice as will see her next month.

And so, a 91 degree day, with partly cloudy, and yay, not a chance of rain. And yesterday, was the same, and felt like the humidity was lower yesterday. Still hot but more pleasant. Will see how it feels later, as letting little one sleep. Yeah, the early entry is gringotts and minions. Neither a draw for us, and minions was a 10 or so minute express wait, we walked on gringotts with express. Thus later morning arrivals is the way we enjoy our time.

And Paris, I am sorry to hear of your grandmom is in hospice. Sending hugs and may find some peace if she has passed away. Know she will always be in your heart, and good memories.

Have that wonderful Wednesday homies.

Loving the fancy camel!!

And thank you for your kind words, Lynne. She is a special one for sure!!

​

This is great!!! Gonna send it to DD!

Quick good morning. I have a couple of minutes before I leave for work.

Mac - Hope all goes well at the dentist today.

Lynne - sounds like you and your daughter are having a nice trip. I have never ridden the Mummy ride. How intense is it? I can handle some coasters but not others. On a scale of Big Thunder Mountain to Rockin Rollercoaster where would it fall?

Gotta run.

My vote is more like Big Thunder Mountain. Mummy is one of my favorites. I hope you try it!!

Good Wednesday morning Sans family

J’aime Paris so sorry to hear about DH grandma. I remember reading in one of your posts about what a awesome lady she is. I’am so glad you are all able to get back and spend some time with her while she is in hospice. Prayers for her and all of you.

Nice to hear you were able to finally get your daughter moved into her apartment. I hope they get the other things done in an acceptable time so she can settle in.



I have been pretty busy lately. I was already to have grandson to come over and help me move the furniture for deep clean in the some rooms. I was going to start decorating for Halloween already. I always have everything up by first week September.

Then I got smacked down with the worst case of bronchitis I have had in many moons. Covid cases around here are amping up. So if you have any respiratory illness you have to have Covid test first before your Doctor will treat you. So that delayed getting my meds until my Covid test came back. It was negative thankfully. I have my antibiotics, steroids so now just need to get better.

Daughter is going to have to have a 3rd eye surgery in 8 weeks. At this point they are trying to preserve as much of her eyesight in her left eye as possible. She had a bad reaction to Covid vaccine.


Granddaughter in law sent pic of great-granddaughter who just got her orange belt in Karate. They are also getting eggs from their chickens now. She was so proud of getting the eggs from the coop.

I had to stop making masks. So once i’am Feeling better will start up again.

I went out and sat in the sun yesterday. Did not feel like doing much. I need to get moving. If the weather is nice enough today may try a small Walk.

I Have been watching a few things on YouTube about HHN set up at Universal. They have a Halloween boutique in the Lost Continent in IOA now and it’s open. Looks really cool inside. I will definitely have to have a look in there.

I also found out about a place that makes custom Kyber Crystal’s which can be used in the LightSabers made at Savi’s or the Legacy Saber’s. They also work in the Sith and Jedi Holocrons and have the voices of different Star Wars characters........LOL....I need to quit looking at YouTube.

I gave our son the Luke Skywalker Legacy Saber for his Birthday last week. I gave him the Darth Vader one for Christmas. I’am helping him with his collection of Star Wars things for his Star Wars man cave. He has always been a big fan of Star Wars since he was a little boy. He and daughter-in-law went to Galaxy’s Edge on their vacation in July and he really enjoyed Seeing it and riding ROTR. He turned 44 on Saturday. He is the sweetest son.

I had a bread maker and just did not use it very often so I gave it away. I have a dough hook on my big KitchenAid Mixer. So when I need dough kneaded just use that....LOL..not very often.

I was a hot coffee purist until I tried The Pumpkin Cream cold brew at Starbucks. It is seasonal, but so good. That will be coming in soon. It’s so nice that some of the Resorts, Parks and CityWalk have Starbucks.

Will use my inhaler and try a walk before I talk myself out of it. I have a bad cough. I have enough area around here to walk away from people.
I have been in bed for past couple of days except for visit to after hours clinic yesterday evening. Think the sun will help increase vitamin D uptake, burn off some calories and bronchitis cooties.

Sending good thoughts and wishes to all.

Thinking of Halloween

And upcoming trip to Universal in 26 days.

Thank you so much Robo! Yes, DHs grandma is very much a grandmother to me too, and she has been a blessing to this family.

A few more things to fix, and DDs apartment will be good!




Happy Bday to your son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this surgery will be the last for your DD....much healing sent her way....

Super accomplishment for your great-granddaughter!!! Yay for eggs too!

Sorry you've been unwell....hopefully between the meds and some Vit D, you'll be great real soon!!

26 days!!! You must be getting quite excited for your next adventure!

Quick early morning stop in before I start the daily shuffling of papers


I/We have seen them, but have never tried one. Dh was tempted one time, but decided on something different. I would probably pass, as I don't like weird food combos. I don't like my food touching other foods and mixing either I'm a bit of a weirdo lol. Let us know if you do it!!!!!!

Same....I love my food and carbs. I've lost 40 lbs....would still like to loose about 20 more....but the scale hasn't been moving. But then again, I haven't been trying very hard.

That is ME!!!! Looks like your having a great trip. Loving the pictures!!!!!

Good luck at the dentist!!! Your smile will be amazing once you are done.

Get better soon Robo. Hopefully getting some Vitamin D will help.

I said that as well. I told dh that he needs to be prepared. I know that with all the social distancing, masking, sanitation at stores that really did cut down on cold/flus. I usually get 2 a year. One in Sept/Oct then another one at the end of winter in March/April. I'm hoping that when I do get one that it doesn't leave me feeling like 10 Mac trucks have hit me. I already warned my work that WHEN ( not if ) I get sick, they better be prepared for me to be off for a few days. Youngest DS picked up a cold somewhere...and he NEVER gets sick. Hopefully it doesn't spread to anyone else in the house. We have a very special big birthday for dh's grandma to celebrate in a couple of weeks.

@Charade67 your renovations and railing look great!!!!!

Well...I should get shuffling some of these papers. They don't organize and create spreadsheets themselves

Have a great day Hommies!!!!

I usually get some sort of chest congestion each year. Puts me in the recliner for a couple nights to sleep easier.

It's so special that your DH still has a grandma....hoping it's a wonderful celebration!!

Shooting aliens, so fun:

Very hot out in the sun. Tried to polish off sweet crepes. They were delicious. Saw Sponge Bob street show and now watching DM street show. They always do a good job with characters.

Who won?

Those crepes are fabulous!








Quiet day at home. DD is spending the night at her apartment and going out with friends. I think she will be bouncing back and forth for a few nights, before settling in completely. She has end of summer plans with friends to fit in around here, and then some downtown too.

Too hot to walk the dogs currently. Will take them when the sun goes down a bit later. They are napping contentedly for the meantime.

Chicken apple gouda sausages for supper tonight. Pasta salad and baked beans on the side. Easy peasy supper for DH and I.

 

[Lynne G]

Pool time almost over. Stayed in the pool while it rained hard, but then all out, as lightning close I guess. But about 10 minutes later, all clear, then more pool time, with some most delicious nachos ate. Soon going to go back and freshen up, hoping to have a great meal at the Kitchen. For my birthday, they gave me a coupon for a free dessert, and I am hoping it includes that chocolate cake. I will ask to box it up, then little one and I can share in room later.

 

[Charade67]

I saw 2 UO houses last October. They had them open during the daytime even thought HHN was canceled. I'm a wimp, but they were scary to me!!

You can join our chicken club. While the others are at HHN we will be eating nachos by the pool.

I'll give it a try. I've also never been on the Jurassic Park ride.

Happy birthday. Hope you get the cake you want.


I'm watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier with B. She hasn't seen it yet. Waiting for dh to come home and we will have a late dinner.

 

[Lynne G]

Sorry that Robo did not have a good meal, as we had a most delicious meal at the Kitchen. Little one had a melt in your mouth filet, I had burnt ends with three cheese mac and cheese. We both started with a perfectly tasty salad. And we ended up taking back to the room some of the birthday brownie, as came with a strawberry, some black berries, a couple of raspberries, whip cream, and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. And the brownie was warm. OMG. I shared with little one and we were just too full to eat it all. One of the few items I will take as a baggie leftover. We will surely finish the brownie before long. Chilling, after that food coma, and then will see how busy the mini golf is. Want to walk off that big meal.

I want to wish a very special lady and a very special friend a wonderful birthday.....

macraven......you are indeed one of the nicest and kindest ladies I have ever had the pleasure to meet. You do so much for others and have done for so many years and on the boards many of us are so grateful for all you do. And I consider myself very lucky to call you a very special and one of my best friends.

Hope you have a lovely day....... 🛍

It`s from the Adrianna Vineyard, Catena River Stones Malbec 2017 from Argentina......I think he`ll like it. I know I will.....lol......

Yes, no cheese for me either, but you know I do love those jalapenos!!

Next time we have to take you to and go through all the houses for HHN.....maybe 2022.....it`s a date.....I`ll hold your hand of course

Hope you got out a lovely walk with the dogs last night......and nice to hear you`re still enjoying some lovely weather there.....late summer is just around the corner.

Jurassic Park has a very good drop at the end that is the best part of the ride......I wish it were steeper, but it is decent. And it`s a lovely ride all the way through. And The Mummy is one you will have to try.....it`s been one of our favourite since our very first visit way back.......and it is fast but the themeing is wonderful. So much fun.




And Thursday again..........

We do have cloud this morning that doesn`t look like it`s going to clear up, but it was like that yesterday too, so hopefully sunshine will be out in an hour or so, it`s still early.

A walk is planned again this morning, think we have some friends joining us for this one, so that means a stop in one of the waterfront cafe`s for a brunch like bacon in a roll and big pots of tea. Always works for us.

Dinner tonight is jerk chicken, chicken has been marinading all night, unless we see some lovely fresh fish this morning.......we`ll see.

But Thirsty Thursday it is.....will certainly be toasting a glass tonight for mac`s birthday today.......

Happy Thirsty Thursday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Have a very happy birthday Mac!

Nope, my birthday is on Saturday, but since I said we are leaving on my birthday, they gave me the dessert coupon. But thanks DisneyLife, just a bit early. And no Schumi, did not miss it.

Ah yes, another sunny warm morning. With clouds and chances of rain later in the day. So far, we’ve planned everything right with the rain so far. The only longer and harder rain was when we were in the pool. The other two days it rained, the first, very brief shower, and was so hot, not many looked for cover. We were in the Studios, and there’s lots to do with rides and shows inside or under cover. Second time, was so light and brief, only felt a drop or two, and that was it. We will see if today has any rain. And last night, where I live, they got nasty thunderstorms, and they are confirming a tornado touched down not far from us, again. Wild storms we have been having this late Summer. Though I was very thankful our arrival was oh so muggy, but no real rain.

And so, I’m always the earlier riser than little one. Made some tea, and snacking on some crackers we had bought. The nice thing about staying days, and having the express pass, there is no reason to have an early start any of the days we are here. Best, there is another countdown that is just about 30 days now. Woot!

Thirsty Thursday homies. Drink up, will be hot today.

Morning all. Waiting for the troops to rise, may have to smell the bacon first it seems today.

hope it's OK too. My doctor didn't seem too worried. Could just be good bedside manner though.

sounds encouraging! our hospital system has online system wherein we can log into our account & get test results in hours. The dr’s office calling is generally an after thought.

But, I do like a Saturday night not cooking anything

throw back to date night

Can`t quite believe that and Tom has asked for one for his birthday next week......lol....he doesn`t ask for much. And yes, some of us still prefer a mouse to the pad on laptops...apparently that`s funny to some......lol.....

nice! I handed down mine to the mr recently, he’s yet to crack it open lol. Old Skool, uses his phone or his beast of a desktop for gaming

have never ridden the Mummy ride. How intense is it?

wild mouse type on steroids in the dark with great animatronics & theming

did you ever do the old Wilde Maus at BG?

Those long distance drives are hard.

my back is just not a fan. Know you are a road warrior

Then I got smacked down with the worst case of bronchitis I have had in many moons. Covid cases around here are amping up.

oh my goodness, three?!? Poor girl, prayers for her

Granddaughter in law sent pic of great-granddaughter who just got her orange belt in Karate.

good for her! Sounds Iike they are raising a confident & strong woman in the making

I had to stop making masks. So once i’am Feeling better will start up again.

you’ve been so prolific, I’ve wondered how many people you have helped

I also found out about a place that makes custom Kyber Crystal’s which can be used in the LightSabers made at Savi’s or the Legacy Saber’s

never heard of these, appear to be nice quality. Note to self for Xmas stocking stuffers, thanks

i think you need cookies, one with every cuppa coffee or tea.

My husband had a cold the day we left Disney. He ended up with a fever but tested negative for covid. They say that flu and cold is worse now than it was last winter. Not looking forward to all of the germs our son is going to bring home now that he is back to in-person school.

had same sort of thing after our last trip, you are a pariah if you have the sniffles these days. If you are honest about travel & any symptoms, you are put into time out. I‘m by no means poo-poo’ing covid mind you. Just that it’s somewhat annoying to be repeated told covid testing is in order when fully vaccinated. Vent over

Same....I love my food and carbs. I've lost 40 lbs....would still like to loose about 20 more....but the scale hasn't been moving. But then again, I haven't been trying very hard.

awesome!

Shooting aliens, so fun:

unless you happen to be said alien

I love mixed flavours.....sweet and spicy/meat or chicken with fruits especially pineapple/hot and sour.....anything

ying & yang, the spice of life

For my birthday, they gave me a coupon for a free dessert, and I am hoping it includes that chocolate cake. I will ask to box it up, then little one and I can share in room later.

Nice

And last night, where I live, they got nasty thunderstorms, and they are confirming a tornado touched down not far from us, again. Wild storms we have been having this late Summer. Though I was very thankful our arrival was oh so muggy, but no real rain.

Had the system the last I don’t know how many days. Tuesday, had to pull off the road onto berm twice when on errands. Just couldn’t see & I had new set of wipers put on Monday. Worst summer ever here for rain. Don’t think I’ve been in my pool more than 10 times.

Hail to ‘da chief redhead. Happy to have met you in the box, now a RL treasured friend. Wishing you a year full of all that is good, including a HHN #30 that slays.

Yes, no cheese for me either, but you know I do love those jalapenos!!

Next time we have to take you to and go through all the houses for HHN.....maybe 2022.....it`s a date.....I`ll hold your hand of course

Hope you got out a lovely walk with the dogs last night......and nice to hear you`re still enjoying some lovely weather there.....late summer is just around the corner.





Sounds good! Must have missed your birthday Lynne...... hope it was a lovely day for you......





Jurassic Park has a very good drop at the end that is the best part of the ride......I wish it were steeper, but it is decent. And it`s a lovely ride all the way through. And The Mummy is one you will have to try.....it`s been one of our favourite since our very first visit way back.......and it is fast but the themeing is wonderful. So much fun.




And Thursday again..........

We do have cloud this morning that doesn`t look like it`s going to clear up, but it was like that yesterday too, so hopefully sunshine will be out in an hour or so, it`s still early.

A walk is planned again this morning, think we have some friends joining us for this one, so that means a stop in one of the waterfront cafe`s for a brunch like bacon in a roll and big pots of tea. Always works for us.

Dinner tonight is jerk chicken, chicken has been marinading all night, unless we see some lovely fresh fish this morning.......we`ll see.

But Thirsty Thursday it is.....will certainly be toasting a glass tonight for mac`s birthday today.......

Happy Thirsty Thursday ​

I'm positive Tom will love that wine!

It's a date!! I'll probably keep my eyes shut for the most part! Especially if the scare actors jump out at you. (they didn;t do that in 2020 at HHN light)


Hope your walk with friends was pleasant!!

Morning all. Waiting for the troops to rise, may have to smell the bacon first it seems today.


sounds encouraging! our hospital system has online system wherein we can log into our account & get test results in hours. The dr’s office calling is generally an after thought.

throw back to date night

nice! I handed down mine to the mr recently, he’s yet to crack it open lol. Old Skool, uses his phone or his beast of a desktop for gaming


wild mouse type on steroids in the dark with great animatronics & theming

did you ever do the old Wilde Maus at BG?

my back is just not a fan. Know you are a road warrior

oh no, haven’t heard that testing edict here. Be well

oh my goodness, three?!? Poor girl, prayers for her

good for her! Sounds Iike they are raising a confident & strong woman in the making

you’ve been so prolific, I’ve wondered how many people you have helped

never heard of these, appear to be nice quality. Note to self for Xmas stocking stuffers, thanks

a real blessing to you

i think you need cookies, one with every cuppa coffee or tea.

had same sort of thing after our last trip, you are a pariah if you have the sniffles these days. If you are honest about travel & any symptoms, you are put into time out. I‘m by no means poo-poo’ing covid mind you. Just that it’s somewhat annoying to be repeated told covid testing is in order when fully vaccinated. Vent over

awesome!

unless you happen to be said alien

ying & yang, the spice of life

Nice

Had the system the last I don’t know how many days. Tuesday, had to pull off the road onto berm twice when on errands. Just couldn’t see & I had new set of wipers put on Monday. Worst summer ever here for rain. Don’t think I’ve been in my pool more than 10 times.

I agree about the pariah thing! It's as if nobody can even possibly get sick from anything else these days!

My godson had all the classic symptoms of strep throat recently. He'd already had covid and was vaccinated.
The brilliant medical minds made the poor kid suffer for over 24 hours to get the covid results before seeing him in clinic. His rapid strep test turned positive almost immediately.

People need to remember that common sense is also a good thing....rant over!









Is it Thursday already? Wow, this week is flying by for some reason!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAC!!!!! I know you love both the motherland and the darkside!!
Enjoy your special day!







Some housework to do, and will walk the dogs again.
Still loving this beautiful summer weather!

Love the Hitchcock meme.....haven`t seen that one anywhere.........."Gooood Evening"

Completely agree about the common cold.....yes, you`re made to feel as if you are a plague carrier if you so much as sneeze!


Love date night!! Who says romance is dead.......

A birthday treat, yay!!!


That's a deal! Those nachos from Bula Bar are tops!!

Still loving this beautiful summer weather!

I think he`ll like it....it`s not a £1,000 bottle of wine, but it`s one that we haven`t been able to get for a long time, so he`ll be pleased and I know I`ll be helping him with it.....

Yep, sounds like a plan for HHN.......you`ll love it!!

Hope you have a super day Lori......how`s your weather, is it still glorious??





Well, friends decided the drizzly weather was not for them this morning.....wimps......so it was just us, didn`t quite manage 10 miles today, but nearly 6 felt like enough. It was weird as it was drizzly, but so warm despite only showing 60F. Promenades were almost deserted although I`m sure they got busier after we left as it kind of brightened up....a little. Has been grey most of the day.

We did plan to go out this afternoon, but I dropped off to sleep, so Tom got on the other sofa and we both snoozed for an hour or so.......it was fabulous, really needed it. I do love an afternoon snooze when the weather is a little duller.

So, jerk chicken has been simmering away most of the day, it does smell lovely, and I made sure I didn`t go overboard on the scotch bonnets this time, so it should be edible and not end up in the trash this time.......

Bakery in our village said they can`t guarantee they`ll have glazed donuts for Saturday, so may not be then, but whenever they do have them I`ll be making a glazed donut burger for dinner.......I really want one now. Tom isn`t as fussed, but will eat it if I make it. He preferred some of the other burgers in offer from Teak Grill.

Almost 2 hours till dinner, might have a snack and cup of tea.

Hard Rock Cafe lunch, have to use up my other birthday treat. Parks still seem to have crowds. We’re going to go back, get our suits on, waterproof bag, and do the 3 water rides. Way hot it’s getting. Think mid afternoon a good time to do those rides.

 

[Robo56]

Good Thursday afternoon Sans family










A Very happy birthday to Mac.

Hope you have a quick recovery.

Thank you Charade.

I saw 2 UO houses last October. They had them open during the daytime even thought HHN was canceled. I'm a wimp, but they were scary to me!!

That was a nice treat for them to leave those houses up for folks to go through last year. I hope they do a little change up on some things on Bride of Frankenstein and Tooth Fairy as we saw those already.

Happy Bday to your son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

I hope this surgery will be the last for your DD....much healing sent her way....

Thank you so much.

Super accomplishment for your great-granddaughter!!! Yay for eggs too!

I think she was prouder of the eggs she got from the coop.

Sorry you've been unwell....hopefully between the meds and some Vit D, you'll be great real soon!!

26 days!!! You must be getting quite excited for your next adventure!

Thank you. I’am looking forward to my upcoming trip for sure.

But about 10 minutes later, all clear, then more pool time, with some most delicious nachos ate.

I have had the Nachos at Bula Bar and they are delicious.

A walk is planned again this morning, think we have some friends joining us for this one, so that means a stop in one of the waterfront cafe`s for a brunch like bacon in a roll and big pots of tea. Always works for us.

Enjoy your walk.

my back is just not a fan. Know you are a road warrior

I do like being out on the open road. Although it is getting more dangerous to travel when you have people driving 75 mph and texting.

oh no, haven’t heard that testing edict here. Be well

I will not start ranting about the crazy things that are going on here as I might not stop. I’am a RN and I know what meds I need and I know how the medical system process is supposed to work and I’am having trouble. I feel sorry for folks that don’t. It’s a nightmare.
Ok I ranted a little.

oh my goodness, three?!? Poor girl, prayers for her

Thank you for the prayers. She needs them.

you’ve been so prolific, I’ve wondered how many people you have helped

My sister asked me the same thing and I have made about 3 thousand masks. I love making them and sharing them. I now have small adjusters I put on the elastic to help adjust the mask to fit better. This next batch is going to great-grandchildren in Kentucky. Then I’am going to surprise my granddaughter who is a Teacher with a batch for her class. I’am planning to make a big batch for the TM’s at the park. Need to get better as I have a lot of planned sewing to do.

never heard of these, appear to be nice quality. Note to self for Xmas stocking stuffers, thanks

Yes, they look great. Will PM the maker to you.

a real blessing to you

Yes, he is. He is such a wonderful son.

Completely agree about the common cold.....yes, you`re made to feel as if you are a plague carrier if you so much as sneeze!

LOL....If you cough in public it’s worse....LOL

Bakery in our village said they can`t guarantee they`ll have glazed donuts for Saturday, so may not be then, but whenever they do have them I`ll be making a glazed donut burger for dinner.......I really want one now. Tom isn`t as fussed, but will eat it if I make it. He preferred some of the other donuts in offer from Teak Grill.

Take a pic of your donut burger when you make them. I’am sure they will be yummy.


Mac hope your dentist appointment went well. Eat lots of cake it’s your birthday.

Keisha what do you think about the new Genie addition to MDE. I thought I kinda new how to navigate the MDE app now this. I think Disney should have just charged one price for a Express Pass like Universal and been done with it. It think this new system just complicates matters.

You are the Queen of Disney planning. You know the game better than anyone I know. What are your thoughts?

We did get the much needed rain we needed last night. I’am thankful as it as will help dampen down the massive amount of grass seed impregnated straw and fertilizer they have been blowing out on the land they cleared behind us. I would like to take a load of this stuff and a fan and blow it on the land developers house and see how he likes it. Can you tell my steroids has kicked in......LOL

I’am going to take a walk again. It did my soul good to be outside. I had a good laugh yesterday on my walk. There was a tree full of birds and I had to stop as I had to cough a bit and the birds scattered like a firecracker had been shot in the tree...LOL...I was thankful I didn’t get pooped on.

I have a pork tenderloin to put in oven this evening as it will be easy.

Need to get scootin before I talk myself out of the walk.


Have a wonderful Thursday everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Robo I hope you are feeling better. Your masks are great, thank you for making them for all to use.

 

[Elsaspiritanimal]

Happy Birthday @macraven! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello to everyone else! Been crazy busy for me but try to snoop in on you all from time to time. If I look too often I wind up hungry and wanting a cocktail. JK that is everyday for me anyway. Hope you are all doing well!
