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

[schumigirl]

A very dreary looking Sunday morning for us this morning.......hope it stays dry for the childrens tea party along the front today, doesn`t look good though, would be a shame if it doesn`t happen. Lots of Jubilee lunches are planned across the UK, so again, hope the weather allows them to go ahead.

Loved the concert from the Palace last night and seeing the Queen in her little sketch with Paddington Bear was absolutely delightful, the twinkle in her eye was heartwarming to see. Lovely occasion.

Got a few things to get on with today, and doing a joint of beef for dinner tonight, roast beef seems very fitting for today. And seems it is raining a little now......but, bacon up in a couple of hours.......mac, you`ll smell it cooking!!

Have a lovely Sunday ​

Another late night. I still have a quiz and a test to take. I also need to check over my editing project before I turn it in.

B was really sweet today. After I spent 3 hours working on editing she made me a hot cup of tea and told me I deserved to take a break.

I have been having second thoughts about my September trip. On the one hand I feel like I should be using that time getting school work done. On the other hand, I think I should get one more use from my pass before it expires. I guess I will just wait until closer to trip time to make my decision.

 

[macraven]

Do what is best for you charade but all of us will dearly miss you if you if you bow out

I hope your trip can happen!

 

[Lynne G]

At least you can probably work some during your stay in September, Charade, but I hope you do decide to get away for a few days. Either way, take care.

Ah yes, that high weather system is still around, and a gloriously sunny day. And 79 the high. Yay, the ending of Spring is certainly giving us some beautiful weather days.

Ooh bacon at Schumi’s, well was bacon this morning. Yum, beef for dinner sounds delicious. Hope the weather is not raining for the celebrations going on this afternoon.

And so, a sunny Sunday for us. And that alarm now set, and trash will be at the curb after dinner. It’s that early bedtime for me, as routine week days coming up.

Finally, woot! First full week in June starts today. Wedding bells and birthdays this month, and yay, this month Summer arrives too. Double woot, woot!

Super happy Sunday homies. Ever that day for rest, enjoy some downtime today.

Good Sunday morning Sans family









Sitting in my favorite spot this morning enjoying coffee in my HHN mug catching up with the Sans family.

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

I liked it. Will elaborate a bit more when everyone has had a chance to watch it.

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.

Mom was released from the hospital today. The kept her for a couple of nights because in addition to the broken wrist it was discovered that she also had a UTI.

Sorry to hear about your moms fall Charade. Hope the wrist heals quickly.


Schumi congratulations to your son on his new position at work.


Quiet morning here. Sun is finally peeking through. Going out to do a few things in the yard today. It supposed to be a warm day here.

Went by to visit with son and daughter in law yesterday. We talked a little about upcoming vacation a little.

I will make a couple of dinner reservations just to make sure we get into the places they want to eat. It looks like it will be a busy time.

I have been able to catch some of the wonderful platinum jubilee celebrations from the UK on tv. The Queen looks great for her age. She is a beacon light for the country for sure. I hope she has many more happy years to come. What a cute and playful skit with Paddington Bear.


Glad to hear that the trial is over and Mr D will hopefully get his life and career back on track.




Keisha enjoy your vacation.


Shout out to Tink, Monyk, Soniam, Pumkin, Mac, Lynne, Patty, Sue, Lori, Buckeev and all the Sans family


May your Sunday be warm and relaxing.


Congratulations to the Queen who has been a inspiration to all in her 70 years of service to her Country.

Happy celebrating to Schumi and all our Sans family across the pond.

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, good to hear from you, and enjoying your coffee this morning. Nice to be planning your next stay with son and wife. Hope your morning and rest of this Sunday is lovely.

Older one is working today. Decided was in the mood, so eggs with brownies. Hehe, sweet thinking. So, my MIL got some of both. Thus, hello little one. About time you rise and shine. Hopefully she is up for some grocery shopping. Too bad that chicken fast food place is not open today. So slim pickings. As little one is a picky fast food place kid. Does not like food of many fast food places. We may find a bar, or Jewish diner, the later, if does not look crowded. Nothing like a college kid to get a later start.

Yes, you have plenty of time to decide, maybe nearer the time you`ll have a better idea if you can easily miss the time.

Hope your mum is still improving.

Do what is best for you charade but all of us will dearly miss you if you if you bow out

I hope your trip can happen!

Absolutely!!

Good Sunday morning Sans family

Thank you Robbie.....he is loving the new firm and is enjoying the new challenges of a new position.

And yes, Mr Depp can hopefully carry on and get his career back now.......long overdue.

Hope you manage to get some places sorted for you trip. Yes, I don`t think there is such a thing as a quiet time now.





Had a lovely day today. We ended up going to the village for the celebrations after all......and the rain stayed away. We watched the big screen with sheer joy the Queen appear on the balcony again and we all had a rousing rendition of God Save the Queen along with them......it was very emotional, especially as we had a lot of older folks who went through the war same as The Queen did and they remember her being crowned. So, it was a lovely day all round.

And the rain started as we were all leaving which was nice it stayed off while we were all celebrating. Was a little cool though, so we were all wrapped up.

So, no need to cook dinner tonight as we all enjoyed a lovely buffet selection this afternoon, will have a snack later maybe.

Had a shower and in jammies as it is completely miserable outside now....rain is bouncing down!

But, lovely weekend.

 

[Charade67]

Finally finished for the week. Next week looks to have a much lighter load. Now I’m just trying to relax while watching NASCAR.

Thanks y’all. I’ll make my decision when it gets closer to time. I may desperately need a break by then. The airline changed my flight and I discovered that I only have 38 minutes to change planes in Charlotte. I decided that it was worth a little extra money to move to a seat as close to the front of the plane as I could get.

Ah yes, that high weather system is still around, and a gloriously sunny day. And 79 the high. Yay, the ending of Spring is certainly giving us some beautiful weather days.

We are having some of that nice weather too. I hope it sticks around for awhile.

Sorry to hear about your moms fall Charade. Hope the wrist heals quickly.

Thanks Robo. I should probably give her a call.


This was on my Facebook page today. I figured it would be appreciated here.

Save the birds …

 

[Lynne G]

Trash is out at the curb, alarm was already set. Getting into that getting ready for bed routine.

So light on, for those that are in the dark, may you be sound asleep, and if need, there’s the light.

 

[macraven]

Thanks Lynne

 

[Pumpkin1172]

And just like that, the weekend is done. It always goes by too fast.

We changed our usual routine around a bit, so today was just a stay at home day putzing around. Spent most of today in the kitchen. I baked a couple loaves of bread and a batch of cinnamon buns with my sourdough starter. I also whipped up a couple loaves of nanner bread as I had lots of overripe bananas that needed to be used up.

Supper was delicious as I made shrimp linguine, salad and garlic toast with the fresh bread. Last night we did our hotdog roast over the fire, as youngest ds was working Friday night. So I whipped up some soup and grilled cheese - nothing special.

Mom was released from the hospital today. The kept her for a couple of nights because in addition to the broken wrist it was discovered that she also had a UTI.

I am sure you have been busy with schoolwork. Great mark on the test. Those types of marks are what kept me going. Way to go!!!
It's great to hear your Mom is out of the hospital and hopefully she heals quickly.

Loved the concert from the Palace last night and seeing the Queen in her little sketch with Paddington Bear was absolutely delightful, the twinkle in her eye was heartwarming to see. Lovely occasion.

It was a fantastic concert! I enjoyed all the performers.

She looked lovely when she was on the balcony today. It was a great way to close a weekend of such great celebration. Hopefully she will continue to use "her stand-in's" as she has been. She is looking more frail now, and honestly at 96 - she deserves to have others fill in for her. Her schedule even makes me tired lol.

So light on, for those that are in the dark, may you be sound asleep, and if need, there’s the light.

Thanks for the light - I hate stumbling around in the dark.

Well sleep tight for anyone wandering in during the night...and good morning to those who are early risers.

Love cinammon buns! I do like making Danish pastries, but it`s such a faff with the constant turning and rolling, but worth the effort.

Yes, the other members of the family have been upping their already busy schedule to cover the Queen who is reluctantly cutting back finally, bless her. Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince William, Catherine, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie have all been invaluable as I think they always have been to her. When you see how many events they each tackle each year, it`s amazing. And most of it never reaches the press, they just soldly and mostly quietly get on with it.

It`s been an amazing weekend and seeing the crowds in London was something special.




Shout out to @tink1957 Hope you`re all doing ok Vicki.........






It rained all night and quite heavy at times, think all the grass and fields around us will welcome it. Seems to have stopped now, but skies are heavy and the sea looks alarmingly dark.

Heading out this morning for some grocery shopping, but back to jackets I think as it is cool outside. I do miss that Florida sunshine.......nothing can compete with it!!!

Feel like doing Thai lettuce wraps for lunch today, ala Cheesecake Factory style......I`m sure I have everything we need, but will check before we go out and pick up anything I`m short of. Dinner will be be steak stir fry.......szechuan style, so nice and spicy.

Few other things to be getting up to today, will be kept busy for sure.........

Have a wonderful Monday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah a marvelous Monday to you, Schumi. Was nice for all to celebrate the Queen. And also was good the rain held off, for most to go on not in the rain. Hope your grocery shopping went well. And ack, jacket in June? Say isn’t so.

Ah, that high weather system cannot stay around forever. But it it’s still around, though transition is starting. A mostly sunny day, but the clouds will be around more this afternoon. 82 the high, so no jacket to have. And since 56 degrees out now, the AC has been mostly not on. And the house still feels just perfectly almost too cool.

But ugh. A Monday is here. Yeah, that early bird I am, and routine week day it is. Fire trucks heard going by, not much after I got ready for the day. Dove was cooing quite loudly for a little bit. Then silence. Guess the birds are relaxing today.

Thus, a trash day for us, and will be hearing the trash trucks soon enough.

Yep, routine. And tea. Must be a Monday. Haha.

So a most marvelous Monday to all. Hope it finds you perky and doing well.

And it's Monday morning, back at work

It's cool, rainy day here today. The moisture is great for the farmers, but with the cool start to spring, they are actually still seeding (which is rare for this time of year in our area) but all moisture is welcome.

I am enjoying my nanner bread and picked up my tim's tea to eat at my desk this morning. It sure hits the spot today!

Dh is going out of town today - just for the night. I'm so happy for him as he is finally getting a perk from a vendor. In all his years working here - and most of them being project manger/estimator and buying millions of dollars worth of material through certain vendors, one of the vendors is finally treating him. They are going to game 4 of the hockey final tonight with seats behind the home team bench! So he gets to sit back, have a great meal, watch a playoff hockey game with great seats, and have a king bed to himself tonight at the hotel. He was asked by this same company to do a trip into the US just before the vid hit...then wham - it was cancelled. So now they are starting to reward bigger clients again and he was on the list! I am sooo happy for him to reap some rewards from his years of dedication and working hard.

Well, I should slowly get working on the stack of papers that are on my desk. Not sure what I am all going to do to keep busy today...but I am sure I will find something.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[macraven]

I have ran out of ideas what to make for dinner tonight

I either do some grocery shopping or order food out for tonight.

The fridge basically has nothing but basics such as condiments, bottle water, pepsi and beer
Freezer only has frozen vegetables but we never freeze meat/chicken as usually buy the meat/etc twice a week

Maybe this is a sign to order chicken and pizza for dinner from Domino’s?

I wish I liked bananas.....my sister loves banana bread and makes a very good one I`m told......

Hope your DH has a lovely evening away......King Bed to yourself is always a treat!

Sounds good to me mac.......

Take out works!!



Food has been lovely today......Thai lettuce wraps only missed crushed peanuts, but steak stir fry was a delight! Hot, sweet and spicy and very filling.

Starting to watch the TV show The Lincoln Lawyer......not sure about it yet, I do like Neve Campbell so will give it a try, will pop it on later.

Least the rain has stopped.......looks to be a decent evening.......

 

[Lynne G]

They said clouds this afternoon. Where? Not here yet.

 

[macraven]

Come to Georgia if you want to see clouds ….
Lol

 

[Charade67]

Quick study break hello. This week looks like it won't be as stressful as last week was.

Today we were going through some old files looking for MIL's social security number. Dh found some adoption papers that her had never looked at before. He found out that he was originally called Baby Jimmy. I can't believe it has been almost 60 years and he never knew that. He says he is glad his parents changed his name.

Speaking of dh, today he got word that he is getting a raise. He hasn't had one in several years. I think the university is giving every faculty member a raise. It is supposed to take effect this fall semester and continue to increase over the next 3 years.


I guess I should get back to work.
