Looks a lot of fun Charade.....hope you had fun.

And I blinked and it's Sunday afternoon

Dh and I went out the morning for our weekly grocery shop. It was a lighter week this week, as I seem to have most of the things already in the house for what I had planned for the week.

Muffins are baked and cooling. I whipped up a greek salad dressing to marry the flavors for a salad tonight and a couple other nights this week. I have a moose roast in the crock pot for supper tonight. Back to work tomorrow sadly. No holiday weekend for us.


Those looked delicious!!!!!! I love a good pina colada

We usually have the tv on some sort of cooking show - especially weekend mornings.

Yum!!! I love a good roast chicken. I am a huge fan of chicken. - roasted, grilled, soups, stews, tacos lol. I much prefer it over red meat.

Have fun!!!!!!!!! It looks like the weather is great...and seats going into pit row!!! Those are awesome seats. Next race we go to, we will be purchasing for that area. We had seat coming out of pit row, which was awesome too, and we had 2 of 4 accidents happen right in front of us. I'll be watching for you

Dh is sawing logs until the race starts in about 30 minutes. The sun seems to be making an appearance finally. I hope that it stays out for a bit and warms things up a little. I almost had to put socks on today as my feet are cold. They are currently under a blanket.

Well, I should go taste test a muffin and make sure they are not poisonous.

Have a great rest of your day everyone!

A good Pina Colada is just perfect!! Yep, can`t beat chicken cooked well.....in whatever dish. I do like my red meat too though.......

Enjoy those muffins!





Stayed in today, pretty miserable all round out there, so did some baking, house smells of sugar and cinammon among other ingredients.

Chicken veg soup was delicious.....nothing to beat home made stock in soups.

Lazy afternoon.....I`m still blaming jet lag for being lazy........

Hope you can replace that tire today lynne!

Good Monday morning Sans family and Happy Memorial Day











A special thankful prayer for all those who have served our Country and continue to serve our Country today.

And handsome. Congrats to him!

Thank you Janet.

I know I will as Taco Bell in my area brought back the Mexican pizza today

Ate it as if I was starving ….
Damn I have missed that since it was taken off the menu two years ago

My son and grandson are big Taco Bell fans. They had to get their Mexican pizza fix too.

Never again will I take 3 classes during a sub term. I think my stress level will be at 11 until next May. Right now I have 2 quizzes, a workbook assignment and 2 projects due Monday night. I am trying to get everything done before we leave for Charlotte on Saturday. On top of that I discovered that the grade of the quiz I took last week didn't post. I had to take the quiz again today, but when I went to submit it I got an error message. I really wanted to cry. Thankfully when I logged back in the completed quiz was still there and I was able to submit it.

Hang in there. You will be done before you know it.

i have a feeing they might offer a monster character dinner at new U park

That would be awesome.

We had them going off like crazy yesterday. Turns out a train derailment 4 miles down river. unfortunately, it was 19 oil tankers off the tracks. half now leaking, that wound up in said river.

I seen that on the news. Looks like a mess. Hope they are able to get fuel spill cleaned up.

He looks so good Robbie……yes, every reason to be so proud! And sounds like a lovely day for all……hope the weekend is fun too.

Thank you Carole, we are very proud of him. He is a wonderful grandson.

Yes, we‘re happy knowing next trip is just around the corner.

That makes it easier for you to leave knowing you will be back soon.

New park will blow everyone away I believe now. Classic Monsters r

I’am looking forward to seeing what they do with the Classic Monsters area of the new park.

Watched the hockey game last night. Our team won...and are moving on.

Congratulations

Yep, love seeing all of our purchases laid out......we`ll find places for everything at some point. Friends appeared today on the off chance we had their purchases handy.....my friends are so transparent.......lol.......

Your are giving your friends a little Christmas in May.


Happy belated Birthday to your son and hubby Janet. Hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating.

not sure if I’m ready to tackle stranger things but it’s quite difficult to avoid spoilers. I still have multiple fear the walking deads to get thru.

I binged watched Stranger Things yesterday.

I did a little baking this afternoon. I took my sourdough starter out last night and fed it early this morning. I made 2 loaves of delicious brioche style bread then made some parmesan garlic knots to go with the chicken stew I whipped up for supper. It was a belly warming meal that was a perfect fit for today.

The bread and rolls look delicious.

I didn’t get my schoolwork finished before we left, so I spent most of yesterday working. I don’t want to read any more about the heart. That chapter was 52 pages.

Hang in there.

We’re here!

Nice pictures.

Well, just bad luck yesterday. As when ready to leave, saw my one tire flat. Help with family, and now have a tire with a very large staple shinny metal thing in the tread of the tire in the back of the car. Spare on, so have to go to where bought tires. If can’t repair, guess I will be buying a new tire. Sigh. Time of year I guess road repair leaves junk on the road. I have no idea where we ran over that nasty piece of metal. Could have been on the big highway, could have been more local. Either way, annoying.

Lynne hope you are able to get your tire fixed without issue. It was nice your family was able to help you.


Mac hope you are feeling well and the dental work is almost over.

Noticed Soniam missing. Hope all is well.


Shout out to Tink and all our other Sans family who are not posting much.



Lazy morning here the sun is shinning. It is supposed to be 87 today. I will take that.

We had a nice family party for grandson on Saturday. Everyone enjoyed the food. It is so nice to get the family together for celebrations.

I had the Cornhole game set up in the back yard and they enjoyed playing that.

Yesterday hubby and I took his Jaguar convertible out for a long drive. We had to put the top back up again and turn on the air conditioning after awhile as the sun was pretty hot. He enjoyed getting out and driving his car. The fellas do like their toys for sure.


It will be a quiet Memorial Day here. I put some steaks out to thaw. I will grill those for supper. Going to make a nice brunch in a little while.

I’am going to my happy place for a week at the end of June. Our son and daughter in law are taking grandson and a friend to Universal for his graduation. That is what he wanted.

I have taken the grandchildren to Universal in late May or June for years. So I wanted to go and help them celebrate a little. I won’t be able to commando the parks, but we can get together for some park time and meals. I’am leaving a day before they are.

I made my resort reservations after they had so we won’t be staying at the same resort unless something opens up, but our resorts are close. Things look to be very busy.



Have a wonderful Memorial Day everyone.

A Monday morning stop in

The weekend always goes too fast! It's great many of you have a nice long holiday weekend and get to enjoy an extra day off!

NO extra days off me (quite yet) I always like to have a little extra holiday time in the bank. Now that dh feels like he can actually take days off now and use his holidays - we need to sit and do a little planning. We have some banked travel credits we need to use up before they expire and toss around ideas for the new credits we get. It's time to do a little more traveling. I know both ds's want to go somewhere. It might be separate trips - and that's alright too. I am currently trying to decide if I am going to book a day off and use the spa package Dh and ds gave me for mother's day or use it on a weekend. Decisions decisions

The sun is shinning, and the forecast is for a lovely warm day, with cool nights. Those are the best days. Hoping to get a few steps in over lunch today to enjoy the sunshine.

As when ready to leave, saw my one tire flat. Help with family, and now have a tire with a very large staple shinny metal thing in the tread of the tire in the back of the car. Spare on, so have to go to where bought tires

Yikes. I hope your able to get a new tired where you bought them. We have an amazing local tire place not far from our house where they will repair, sell and help out people all the time. We see on local FB pages giving this place a shout out because he gave them a hand up or repair for a minimal fee or actually free. He continually gives back to the community. You don't see as much of that anymore.

Stayed in today, pretty miserable all round out there, so did some baking, house smells of sugar and cinammon among other ingredients.

Chicken veg soup was delicious.....nothing to beat home made stock in soups.

I love the smell of baking in the house! It is one of my favorite smells.

And yes, there is no comparison for home made stock! I used up the last of my chicken stock on the weekend. I'll have to make another batch soon. Good thing I keep at least one carcass in the freezer for that!

I’am going to my happy place for a week at the end of June. Our son and daughter in law are taking grandson and a friend to Universal for his graduation. That is what he wanted.

I have taken the grandchildren to Universal in late May or June for years. So I wanted to go and help them celebrate a little. I won’t be able to commando the parks, but we can get together for some park time and meals. I’am leaving a day before they are.

That sounds wonderful! How lucky if your family to have you come along with them! I am hoping that is us when our grandkid(s) are older!

Well, I should probably start shuffling some papers. It's getting close to month end. There is usually a few more papers to shuffle. Nothing I can't handle, but it's always good to try and be a step ahead of the tsunami that can happen.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Charade67]

Hello everyone. I am currently on I-85 headed home. (Dh is driving) It was a nice weekend getaway even if our driver didn’t get to finish.

Have fun!!!!!!!!! It looks like the weather is great...and seats going into pit row!!! Those are awesome seats. Next race we go to, we will be purchasing for that area. We had seat coming out of pit row, which was awesome too, and we had 2 of 4 accidents happen right in front of us. I'll be watching for you

My only complaint about the seats is that we couldn’t really see the cars go by because they were so close to the wall. The nicest part was that we were under an awning, so we had nice shade.

I seen that! What a great race though! Long,. But really good. We were hoping that Larson would have pulled out the win, but with the crash at the second last lap, the crash and I seen Hamlin come whizzing by I knew he was done.
Lots of wrecks and lots of cautions which is what Nascar fans love.

Hopefully you get to sleep in a little bit tomorrow since it's past midnight now.

We ended up leaving right after that crash. We had dinner then went back to the hotel. We got in just after that last crash that had #17 upside down. I don’t think I have ever seen a car flip over that many times. Thank goodness he was okay.

Nice way to spend a bad day. I bet your house smells heavenly.

I’am looking forward to seeing what they do with the Classic Monsters area of the new park.

Same here. I know Dh will want to spend some time there.

I’am going to my happy place for a week at the end of June. Our son and daughter in law are taking grandson and a friend to Universal for his graduation. That is what he wanted.

Have fun. That’s a great way to celebrate graduation.


We should be home in a few hours.

Happy holiday to all !

I can smell your grilled food from my house

Hope all are having a great holiday

Will see you all later as I am whipping a meal together for us

Have a wonderful Memorial Day everyone.

I think the Classic Monsters theming in the new park and the additions to what they already have should please folks who are fan of Classic Universal......

Sounds like you have a lovely trip upcoming......and yes, family time is lovely, to just concentrate on them is what makes the day.

Hope you had a lovely Monday too.

A Monday morning stop in

At least the sun is shining!! Always a bonus........yes, any trips planned is always a good idea, whatever it is.

Oh gosh yes, I`ve seen folks mention boxed or canned stock.....bleurgh......yep, good old carcasses and time makes the perfect stock.

It is almost the end of the month!!! Crikey.......

Enjoy your meal mac....I`m sure it`s delicious!!!






Tomorrow our high is 52F. Glad we don`t have to go out anywhere.......plan to do a little cooking, some more baking for Wednesday morning church bakesale and maybe watch some tv......very rarely watch tv during the day, but we`ll see.

Had poached salmon tonight with a lemon butter sauce, very fresh and light, made a mix of steamed veg to go with it and since we had a glut of lemons, made lemon syllabub for dessert. Went down well.

Almost bedtime here for us.........and only just over 3 weeks till the longest day!!!!

How`d that happen.........

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all! Busy day trying to tie up odds & ends.

Mac what did i miss tasty? I just tossed 2 burgers on the grill.

lynne - stinks re tire, maybe construction something or other. Spare tires, I remember when cars had full sized ones. Mr has with his truck, i have a stupid donut tire.

We are getting ready to head to Charlotte for the race tomorrow. B is coming with us. She has never watched a race before. I don’t think she knows what she is getting herself into.

Not knowing is half the fun on a adventure, nice to have mom & dad along as insurance tho lol

I was hoping to go to watch the chuck wagons tonight -

I’m not even going to pretend to know what that is. I thot a chuckwagon doled out food to cowboys. Silly city gal i am lol

Happy Birthday to your ds. It is exciting you have another trip arriving quickly!

Thanks on both accounts. The mr’s BD was on Saturday too. Love having those back to back BDs, amps up the fun.

Got the boy a fire pit kit. a few goodies for him & the mr. His big present was tixs to see Ringo Starr & his all star band. Ringo always my fav beatle, however, I’m also looking forward to seeing Colin Hay (men @ work). I’m obviously dating myself here

anyone staying up to watch the meteor shower? Not sure I can make 1 am.

We haven't been this far in the finals for 20 yrs!!!

Good luck!

I`m thinking of giving the Dr Strange a whirl....I know Tom would enjoy it.

did you watch the first one?

Ciroc (Janet was thinking of you when we bought them lol )

Hahahaha puff thanks you.

I live in the North, so our K-12 kids go beginning of September to mid June.

since there are no longer any snow days due to defaulting to online learning those days…

noticed GD had the shortest start to finish length of time this school year. No need to work in those random Mondays, Fridays or half days off into the original schedule. Used to be I wouldn’t plan even a mid June trip due to the inevitable make up days. Had a few years where the mandated cutoff end of June came into play between weather issues and striking teachers.

Keisha....hope the family get together weekend is a delight!! Quiet night ahead for us.......

Well, I should go taste test a muffin and make sure they are not poisonous.

Just before the end of stage 2 there was a big crash and my driver got eliminated.

 

[keishashadow]

Still getting used to new keyboard case for ipad, missed a few posts somehow, duh

I binged watched Stranger Things yesterday

Spoiler free how’d you like it? I promised GD yesterday I’d wait to watch it with her the 2nd week of June.

Had to laugh my youngest DS only got thru first two so far. However, he shared an ear-worm of a song from way back that i just can’t shake lol

Noticed Soniam missing. Hope all is well.

She had an epic trip planned, agree tho, we need a check in

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Well, the day whizzed by fast.

Found lots of little things to keep busy today. Once month end is over, I am sure it will be slow again.

Came home and enjoyed a beverage outside while I watched dh and ds change the oil in his dirt bike. Oldest ds bought himself a shiny (well not shiny anymore) new dirt bike, and it needed it's first oil change.

Supper was a quick meal of moose steak bites with asparagus and mushrooms, rice and greek salad. Nice and light. Did get my butt to the gym, and put in some steps. Thankfully my earbuds connected to my phone this time. Last trip to the gym on Saturday, they wouldn't connect for some reason. I definitely like walking to my music.

We should be home in a few hours.

It sounds like it was a good get away. I hope the trip home was uneventful.

Will see you all later as I am whipping a meal together for us

What did you whip up? I am always needing meal ideas.

Almost bedtime here for us.........and only just over 3 weeks till the longest day!!!!

I am LOVING the daylight. It's now only dusk when I go to bed around 11:00. I definitely feel better with more daylight.

anyone staying up to watch the meteor shower? Not sure I can make 1 am.

Nope...not this kitty cat. I need my beauty sleep - or rather I am pretty sure everyone around me would want me to sleep. I can get a tad grumpy when I am too tired I am sure that someone local will be posting pictures if we get them here. They were talking about them on the news tonight. We are forcasted for clear skies tonight.

Well, I should get going. Morning comes fast. I'll leave a nightlight on for anyone who needs it.

Metro West and I were talking of that song some months back…..a forgotten gem from the wonderful and colourful 1980’s! Yep, once it’s in your head,……..it’s in your head!

Have a wonderful trip Janet……it sounds fabulous!!!

I think we must have a similar latitude as we barely get dark in summer unlike the USA which always amazes me how dark it gets in summer, NY included.

I like both. Summer for the light, but I do enjoy cosy nights in Autumn/Winter too……..I’m easy to please for the most part.

Hope you sleep well…….




Been awake since around 3am…….not jet lag, just awake as I don’t have that horrible sickly groggy feeling.

No plans to go out anywhere today again unless we go out for a walk, plan to do some laundry and catch up on the phone with some friends 8 haven’t seen since we got back and they have some Bath & Body products to pick up, well, 2 of them do. They didn’t want much so most of the stuff we brought back for others has been picked up or dropped off by now.

I’ve said in September I’m not bringing anything back for anyone else…….but, we’ll see.

Far too early to eat, but made myself a lemon and ginger tea.

Last day of May………

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, one of the hottest days we will have this year. Record from 1991 may be broken. Almost half after 6 am, and it’s already 72 degrees out. 96 or 97 the high. And the humidity is thick.

Yeah, I agree with ya Keisha. Many cars don’t even come with a spare now. Donut is mine, but it’s fine for now. Even nicer, my sister had a air pump and reader, so we made sure the spare had the right amount of air. Anywhere you drive, there’s always that odd chance you get a flat. And this time of year, lots of road construction. And was annoyed that while store was open, it’s tire part was not. So hoping to go with DH to see if plug or new tire, after I get back from the office.

Taco Tuesday is here. The day Mac enjoys a Taco Bell meal. Seems that pizza had ingredients hard to get, so think you’d better enjoy the pizza while you can, as said to be off menu until late in the year.

And so, little bit of traffic, but no where close to what I have on the way gone. Office feels cool, but fine with me. Already have my hair tied up, and a cup of tea.

Then it’s back to home office routine, with a need for Friday to be lazy. And so, short week. Yay! Three day week day routine one? Check. Woot!

Have a most terrific Taco Tuesday, and ya, we say we’re see in June tomorrow.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

It's a bright sunny morning here - so I'll take it! The forecast is calling for a nice warm temp, which makes my heart happy. On the drive home from work last night, I noticed that it's FINALLY nice and lush and green now. I just sighed at seeing the creek/ walking paths look sooo full, lush and green. Such a pretty little area of our city. I work in the industrial area of town - so it's not very pretty. So I enjoy seeing the pretty areas of our city while I"m driving around.

I forgot to mention we are finally seeing many US visitors on their way to Alaska. Our city is on the route if your driving there. Last night in the walfart parking lot I seen what was a group (5-6) different motorhomes/campers all with Georgia plates. They were all parked in a group circle, just off of the walfart parking lot - as many walfarts in Canada now don't let people stay overnight in the parking lots. It is nice to see different licence plates again. We see many different plates, but many from Georgia, Texas and Missouri are the most popular ones we see.

Well, I should start the daily paper shuffle.

Have a great day everyone

 

[Charade67]

Quick good evening. I just got finished doing 2 discussion board posts. Have I mentioned how much I hate those? For my medical terms class we had to pick a term that amuses us or makes us laugh and write about it. Speaking of medical, my mom was back at the ER today. She fell yesterday and was complaining that her wrist hurt. My sister took her to the doctor today who sent her to the ER where they diagnosed a broken wrist.

Tomorrow our high is 52F. Glad we don`t have to go out anywhere.

You would love it here. It was in the low 90's today.

His big present was tixs to see Ringo Starr & his all star band.

Oh how cool. I wanted to go see McCartney, but the tickets were so expensive.

I hope the trip home was uneventful.

Yes, it was thankfully.

I can't imagine driving to Alaska. We flew and it was such a long trip.

I should go do some more school work but I think I will call it a night.

I forgot to mention we are finally seeing many US visitors on their way to Alaska. Our city is on the route if your driving there. Last night in the walfart parking lot I seen what was a group (5-6) different motorhomes/campers all with Georgia plates. They were all parked in a group circle, just off of the walfart parking lot - as many walfarts in Canada now don't let people stay overnight in the parking lots. It is nice to see different licence plates again. We see many different plates, but many from Georgia, Texas and Missouri are the most popular ones we see.

Well, I should start the daily paper shuffle.

Have a great day everyone

One of the benefits of living in a rainy climate, everything is greener than green and all grass and field areas around always look lush and full. Glad you are having some nicer weather now. It`s worth waiting for.

Quick good evening. I just got finished doing 2 discussion board posts. Have I mentioned how much I hate those? For my medical terms class we had to pick a term that amuses us or makes us laugh and write about it. Speaking of medical, my mom was back at the ER today. She fell yesterday and was complaining that her wrist hurt. My sister took her to the doctor today who sent her to the ER where they diagnosed a broken wrist.


You would love it here. It was in the low 90's today.

Oh how cool. I wanted to go see McCartney, but the tickets were so expensive.

Yes, it was thankfully.

I can't imagine driving to Alaska. We flew and it was such a long trip.

I should go do some more school work but I think I will call it a night.

I think the longest we can drive in one go in the UK is just under 15 hours and I don`t know anyone who would do that here. So when I read of folks driving almost double that at times on the boards......amazing and not something that appeals to us at all....and we love driving distances!!

Hope your mum isn`t in too much pain with her wrist, and of course hope she heals quickly.

​

June 1st.......I`m constantly amazed at how fast the years are going....sure sign of getting older apparently.....or so my mum says, very wise woman.

Looks to be a lovely day ahead, and the Jubilee weekend will be a lot of fun, our village along with many other places in the UK all have wonderful celebrations planned to celebrate Her Majesty. Looking forward to it and hope the gruesome twosome from California don`t try to hog the limelight with their Netflix crew. Think they won`t be allowed to if they did try.

Planning to make pizza`s for dinner tonight for the two of us, will make the dough later and have a nice selection of toppings to choose from.

White toast with cream cheese and grape jelly for breakfast later, had some tea earlier which is always nice. We only have 2 hours of astronomical darkness right now in the UK, roughly between 1am and 3 am, so it`s more or less light all the time now, glad to have heavy drapes in the bedroom windows as well as blinds as our bedroom faces the sea, so we get the sunrise every morning. Very nice it is too.

Have a wonderful Wednesday

Yay! Not just the first day of June, but a Wednesday is here. Why camels are singing the happiness of a Wednesday, as this means that with today being such hump of a day, that most fabulous Friday feeling will also make ya sing two days from today. If ever a middle of the week feeling, it’s a Wednesday.

And yay, now in June. Time does go by fast, and agree with you Schumi as to that.

Hope you enjoy the celebrations this weekend, Schumi. I hope the press stays away from reporting on all who are not working royal family members. Thankfully, not much in our news about those two most of the time. And I tend to not read or listen of news of them, if I happen to see or hear of such news.

And so, back to routine I am, and still a hot and muggy day for us. But as the New England area will be sharing their cooler weather, and a cold front trying to arrive, we may see a random thunderstorm later in the day.

And surprise? Not. Our electric company said will be raising rates by 50 to 60 percent next week. Yeah, just in time when most use electric to power their home AC. Sigh.

And ack, Charade. Sending well wishes and healing mummy dust that her wrist heals soon. Hope she is not in pain.

So, a wonderful Wednesday homies. Welcome to June. An extended family birthday month for me, as two brothers, a SIL, have June birthdays, and a brother and SIL wedding anniversary to celebrate this month too.

It's hump day Wednesday!

Beautiful sunny day here again! Enjoying all the warmth and sunlight as I can.

Got most of what I needed done for month end yesterday. A few loose ends and spreadsheets to complete, and then May is a wrap. It flew by way too fast. June is turning out to be busy as well. Summers always fly by in the blink of an eye.

Not sure what is happening this weekend, but youngest ds has Saturday off - so I am thinking we might be heading out to do some fishing! It sure would be nice to get back into the boat onto the water again.

Speaking of medical, my mom was back at the ER today. She fell yesterday and was complaining that her wrist hurt. My sister took her to the doctor today who sent her to the ER where they diagnosed a broken wrist.

Gosh, I hope she heals quickly. Being a hand down can make for difficult days. Hang in there with the studies, it will be over before you know it.

I have been following a few feeds about getting ready for the Jubilee weekend! I will be watching and following along. I have always adored the royal family. I have the same dislike for those two as well. I called this dislike as soon as they were rumored to be together.

I wish it were more lush here more often. We are just in an area that typically receives alot of rain. That more rainy weather is why Vancouver is such a beautiful area to visit. It is always lush and green there. And also why people live there - they have very mild winters.

Well, I should go track down one sheet that the sales team wanted to add to our month end tally of sales. Hopefully they have it completed, so I can complete my work and get it sent off.

Have a great day everyone!

The Jubilee is massive over here. Most folks we know are doing something or celebrating in some way.......yes, we do hope those two keep low key, but since they don`t seem to understand the meaning of the privacy they claim to crave, most highly doubt it.




Verdict is in on the Johnny Depp case........8pm our time.....we`ll be watching!!!!

Gorgeous day here.....ended up sitting outside for a few hours in the sunshine which was unexpected. So instead of pizza.....we got the BBQ going and had some chicken skewers and steak instead of pizza......very nice they were too.

Off to watch Youtube awaiting hopefully #justiceforjohnny

The captain has won!!!!

Yep, and a nice amount Jack got, though not close to his wanting 50 million. But 15 million not that bad.

Though think they both have issues, Jack and her. Had to laugh though, when she said she got much less screen time with new fish movie, no chemistry. I think more like I thought in the first one, she was not a very good actress.
