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

Yay mobile check in! Hopefully means no line, and room ready when we arrive.

That would be sweet!
Gives you more park time not having to stand in a check in line

Hope a short wait for your room to be available.

Good Saturday evening Sans family.

Good morning Robo and Lynne...hope everyone has a great day!

Good evening Metro and everyone.

Here are a few pictures from past Mecum auctions. They are in tents outside depending on the day they will hit the block. The Bugatti was indoors but the others were outside. You can get in them if you want and get up close and personal.

It that the same auction that used to be on TV. If it is I think I remember they moved around to different states. Hubby used to like watching that.

Safe travels and I hope you have a nice visit.

Thank you Charade we had a nice visit.

They have some nice cars in the auction.

Wonderful Christmas trip on the Polar Express today. Couldn’t have been nicer and so well organised. Singing, dancing, Father Christmas and the conductor even stamped the golden tickets!

Sounds like a fun time.

There is a Polar Express event in French Lick Indiana. The tickets sell out as soon as they are posted.

Hope you have a lovely visit with your dad Robbie. Glad you managed to get the album sorted, there were some gorgeous pictures from the wedding……and it’s always a wonderful thing to have guests snap pictures too, informal ones can be just as precious.

I had a nice visit Carole. We enjoyed spending time with our dad.

The photographer photos are really nice. I think they will be happy with their photo books.

So glad to hear you and Tom had a nice vacation and a safe trip home. Looking forward to your trip report and pictures.

Our meal tonight is butter chicken. Since I'm working, the boys/dh can whip that up pretty easy with minimal effort.

I make chicken Makhani every once and while. I serve it with jasmine rice. It’s yummy.

Sounds like your fellas are pretty good in the kitchen.



We had a nice visit with Dad. We did a little shopping and stopped by the Albanese Candy Factory.


Our son contacted us last night letting us know that a tornado was passing through Kentucky were our daughter and grandchildren live. A late night last night. A lot of prayers.

The devastation is horrible. It pretty much obliterated the town of Mayfield.

Our daughter and grandchildren are safe. They are without power and homes that are near them have been severely damaged. The tornado passed close to the area were our granddaughter lives. Whole small towns have been wiped away.

These are small communities were everyone knows each other.

I spoke to grandson today and he said that he has friends whose parents and grandparents homes were totally lost near Benton.

This tornado started in Arkansas and they think it was on the ground for over 200 miles passing through Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois.

My dad has family in Fordsville and Hartford. It hit this area too. He was able to contact his cousin in Hartford. They have no power and there is tornado debris everywhere. Their home is intact. He has not been able to get a hold of his cousin in Fordsville.

When my dad was visiting a few weeks ago went down to Kentucky visiting. Fordsville, Dundee, Beaver Dam and Hartford are small little Kentucky towns that look like they have been lost in time. It’s so sad.

Grand Rivers is a quaint little town on Kentucky Lake were we kept our sailboat for many years.

I’am so thankful our daughter and grandchildren are safe.

We are so sorry for those who have lost loved ones and lost their homes.

These are really beautiful little towns with precious kind people.

Prayers going out to all those folks.

It was good news to read your family was safe from the tornado’s!!

 

[Lynne G]

Such great pictures, Robo. I am very glad to hear all family safe. Scary that line of storms. Nice to hear visit with your dad went well.

Almost bedtime for me. Bag mostly packed. Anything I forgot I can always find down there.

Do you believe someone broke into older one’s car. Scratched all sling then broke the back door window. The only thing we think they took was a large package of toilet tissue paper and a Lego set my kids had just bought for my present. Thank goodness little one who’s room faces the street, was already up, as she needed to finish packing. Saw them do it, and told me, who was in the shower. Police came, filed report. But now older one has to deal with it on his day off. And DH was at his mom’s house, as stated over to make her breakfast.

Upset to say the least. But no traffic, 20 or so minutes thru security and waiting with lots of homies around.

Lovely pictures Robbie, glad you had a nice visit with dad.

It was dreadful to see the tornado devastation, I`m glad your family weren`t affected although always sad to hear of anyone being affected.


LG, sucks for your son but least he wasn`t in car at time and not hurt. Safe flight.

​

Still waiting for test results to come through, ridiculous length of time to wait.......but we won`t go out as per the rules till we get our results.

Cooked beef in ale overnight, so that`s dinner tonight with mash, roasted carrots and parsnips too. Gorgeous winter warming dish.

Trying to start uploading pictures today, but with other things going on it might take some time, apparently we took over 5,000 pictures, not as many as we usually take, but plenty.

Making shrimp salad for lunch and going to wrap some presents after that too and I have a few emails to write that`ll take some time.

Surprisingly temperate today.

[Lynne G]

45 minutes, late arrival and still looking for our luggage to come out. And little one had someone one take her ear phone. Has to get better soon.

 

[macraven]

Hope your luggage comes out soon!
Had that happen with my group last year when one piece of luggage came out one hour after ours

it was crushed somehow but long wait for paper work for airline to replace it on the spot

 

[buckeev]

Hope all is well. Prayers for those affected by the horrible events in the Midwest. So sad.

Well, It looks like we ARE still doing the Hard Rock Hotel portion of our trip! (Wilderness Lodge got canceled-Bummed.)

I awake too early again, but can’t blame the cat this time. Something I ate yesterday gave me acid reflux. Not a fun way to wake up.

Our son contacted us last night letting us know that a tornado was passing through Kentucky were our daughter and grandchildren live. A late night last night. A lot of prayers.

Our daughter and grandchildren are safe.

Glad to hear your family is safe. Hope their home didn’t suffer too much damage.

What a horrible way to start your vacation. Hope the week improves for you.
