Quiet night tonight.

Dh was exhausted and tried to watch a movie and just couldn't do it and went to bed. I did get a walk in tonight before the rain sets in for the next few days.

Older ds is out with friends,, and the other went to bed early as he has the early morning shift again tomorrow. So it's just me.

We had one of those codes for a free rental from cineplex that you get with a purchase of your popcorn combo. I finally tired one we had and am currently watching " The Lost City" with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Brad Pitt. Very funny movie! I highly recommend it.

I got to enjoy a beautiful colorful sunset tonight. I am absorbing all the sunlight I can. I love that I can go for a walk at 8:00 at night and not have to rush to get home before it gets dark! Only a few more days until the longest day of the year!

Well, the movie is almost finished, and it's almost time for bed.

Sleep tight everyone!!!!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Edited to add my quotes

Current one is Marge lol.

I the name Marge for a car!!!! I've had a Betsy, Molly and my current car is Izzy lol.

How’d y’all SAN folk!

I hope you are all doing great! Don't you have another trip coming up soon - if my memory is right? It's good to see you pop in!

 

[schumigirl]

@Pumpkin1172 no, haven’t named her yet. If the white came in I was going to call her Stormy because I think the white with black trim looks like a storm trooper, but my daughter says that’s too much like Stormy Daniels . The red is beautiful, it has an iridescent to it. Maybe call her Red? Lol. I’m open to suggestions! I’m glad the red one came in. Husband prefers the white but I love the red!

@schumigirl wait times are getting worse. If you order a RAV4 hybrid now it’s at least a year wait, and the plug in version close to 3 yrs It seems Canadian wait times are longer than US. Smaller market.

@Charade67 thanks! And happy birthday to your mom!

@keishashadow my daughters first car she called Barbie! Current one is Marge lol.

I‘ve been a lady who lunches this week. 3 luncheons. All this socializing is exhausting lol. Didn’t do much today. We went to Costco this morning then went to Safeway cause I didn’t want a whole litre of cream! Made cottage cheese in the Instant Pot.

Having a bbq for Sunday father’s day with our daughters. Happy Father’s Day to our dads out there!

It`s the same here Sue......18 months to 2 years for some cars. Never look at Hybrids but I`d assume they`re the same. I think all over are still having ridiculous waits.

We usually change our car every 3 years, but we love this car so much we plan to keep it an extra year then have a rethink on what to order.

Uh oh…Did I forget to pay my SAN dues again!?

Good to see you again buckeev......hope life is treating you well!!! And hope your cousin is doing well.

We tried that movie and hated it.......lol.....just didn`t find it funny.

When we come in tonight after dinner with friends, we plan to watch Don`t mess with the Zohan again. I cannot abide Adam Sandler usually, haven`t seen one movie of his I like......except this one.......it is truly hilarious!!!

Glad you got a walk, it really is good for your soul to get out walking, and sunset is a gorgeous time to walk. I know.....can`t believe the longest day is just around the corner! My astronomy loving son is happy!! Dark nights aren`t far away.






We were up ridiculously early this morning......around 5am and we went out to meet friends for the ridiculously early walk we planned........sounded a good idea last night!!! But, it was fabulous........very warm, but not as warm as they said which was nice. We walked for 8 miles and stopped in for breakfast at one of the beach cafe`s.....bacon all round and huge pots of tea.

Got back home and got some of the bathrooms cleaned, floors washed and washer load of whites out on the line which will be dry by now I think. Tom did the dusting and cleaned the bifold doors in the kitchen.....he does them really well, better than me!

Won`t need lunch as we ate enough for breakfast, so won`t eat now till we are in the restaurant tonight.......will have a glass of red while I get dressed and make up on though.....tradition

Have a wonderful Saturday and weekend ​

 

[Lynne G]

Darn cold front arrived in the wee hours, and swear I heard rain sometime in the overnight. But as it arrived, the high is 74 degrees. Yep, a 20 degree change from yesterday’s hot 92 degree high. Though saying cloudy day, I guess that’s for the general area for all day, as beautiful sunshine has been pouring through the window since at least a hour before sunrise, so I guess before the clouds block it later today.

I was pleasantly surprised I woke up later than I usually do. Though was up a few times, as I can be restless too. But I go right back to sleep. Found nothing interesting to watch last night, and was yawning quite a lot, so was to bed early. Thus, think I got a good night’s sleep.

And more happy, it’s a Saturday. No plans, as did pay bills and enjoyed some time with little one yesterday. Did make those burgers for dinner last night. Was a perfect dinner, and chips and dip as an afternoon snack. For an evening dessert, some very good tasting vanilla ice cream, with multicolored jimmies. They gave a nice crunch to the ice cream. Some jimmies we get are that softer kind, but these are hard feeling. They have a nice, almost vanilla taste. Little one like those jimmies enough, we’d buy them again. Nice thing, they are a rotating available colors you scoop what you want, at a grocery store we sometimes go to. They also had a red, white and blue mix, and chocolate flavored ones, but little one liked the just always available, multicolored ones.

Thus, today’s breakfast was scrambled eggs, with added bacon pieces and cheese. Italian bread toast. Rye was gone, yesterday. Thus, DH and I are full, and he’s getting ready to take the leftover, and will be out the door shortly. Older one works, but again won’t be up until around 3 hours from now. He’s like most guys, quick getting ready, then out the door. Though he is a good breakfast food liking kid, he’s not always ready to eat after waking up, as he gets up so close to when he has to leave. He does sometimes stop at a coffee shop on his way in. Thus, no need to leave any leftovers for him. And unless the scrambled eggs are an only egg whites one, little one would not eat what I made anyway. So, MIL gets to enjoy a hot breakfast. She doesn’t care if was a leftover. I always make more, when I know DH says would be nice for him to give her some.

Thus, it’s that ever late starting little one and me day. Not sure what I am thinking, so will see what she wants to do. May stop at a park sometime today, as glorious weather for a walk in the woods. Will wear long pants then, as no ticks wanted on me. Time of year, they are easily found in wooded areas. And it’s a bit windy today.

So super sized Saturday to all. Make it like a Sunday, a day of rest.

Oh, and a hello to Buckeev. Hope all is well with you and family. Been hot weather where you are.

And oddly, never give a name to a car. Just it’s owner’s name car.

What a pleasant start to my day. Tea, ah yes. And because DH still has some of that instant coffee in its container, filled that teapot to the top. Took a little bit more to whistle it’s hot enough, but now almost needs a refill. I may or may not refill. Depends on how much more I feel like drinking. May put some ice in my tea, and a slice of lemon. Saw one, almost sad looking, huge sized lemon left, so now it’s sliced and ready to add to a drink. Or to snack on.

Hope all have or having that perfect start to this Saturday.

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all. Pooch woke me at 6:30 am, fooled him and rolled over hehe

family talked me into having dinner for all on Father’s Day. Need to work on menu & probably another run to grocery Store. At least it will only be in mid 70’s options are wide open with no uncomfortable temps in kitchen.

going to toss a dart at what area of town we will head to celebrate Father’s Day today, just he & me. Trying to get a restaurant request out of him has been fruitless.

What a wonderful and amazing gesture! I hope your mom is sprung from the hospital for her birthday. That's not a great way to spend your birthday.

So nice to read. such a thoughtful gesture by the staff For charade’s mom.

Hawaii appeals to us too, it`s on the list.

It’s so lovely. We wanted to go back this year but, were nervous re potential covid issues.

just saw that airfare from our market now (no NS, too long for me to do in one day anyway lol) are obscene high. However, they drop like a rock 2nd week in September. not sure if it’s the back to school factor or it’s rainy/storm season effect.

but my daughter says that’s too much like Stormy Daniels

Nwahahaha

Yep…Beware of the DVC “Walkers!” Been walking two trips!

I added BW for September (2023) this am when i saw a standard studios open for a few days.

was tempted to add WL for that December . Not sure how many res you are permitted to hold for the same dates Tho. Would hate to see them cancel one, arbitrarily

you are in luck since i am a ditsy blonde and get side tracked easily…….

you get a pass for no dues fees

IDK last great offer I received, connected to FL travel, was a TS one…for westgate…run, run, run away

isn’t that the one they push in the U & SW parks?

The Lost City" with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Brad Pitt. Very funny movie! I highly recommend it.

Good to hear. Know it’s one of the streaming services we have, forget which one. Some of her movies have been such stinkers. Is it comparable to Romancing the Stone as to tone?

i laughed when i read a review and it said mr Tatum had to wear a wig for the role, guess he had buzzed his hair.

They stole the plot from Romancing the Stone for sure.......at least that one was funny! Continuity was off, but the script was dreadful. It`s funny I`m not a fan of her movies, although did like her in Heat with Melissa McArthur from Mike and Molly. Only other thing I liked her in. Some of her movies have been dreadful too!

If we ever get to Hawaii, I`ll certainly be picking your brain......we often think we could have a few days somewhere before flying out, although not San Francisco....hearing some not so nice stories of life there now. One of Tom`s ex employees went out there to work....lasted about 4 months and decided the crime wasn`t worth it........

NIce idea for Father`s Day getting everyone together.....you`ll put together a feast I`m sure!! And I`m sure you`ll find somewhere nice for food today too. Tom`s similar, he always says he`s happy to go anywhere.......have fun!!!

 

[Sue M]

Good morning I think ️️️ Blech this has got to be the worst spring I can remember. Wet and cold. Last year at this time we were roasting in the heat dome. Crazy. Worries about flooding and high rivers from the late snowpack melt on the mountains.
And my youngest has her white water kayak class today. Rivers running high and fast. I’ve earned every grey hair!

@buckeev hi there!

@Pumpkin1172 we went to Cineplex to see the new Too Gun movie and bought the combo too. Totally forgot about the free rental! I’ll have to look back at my emails to find it!
Even though not a fan of his personal life, a bit of a wackadoodle, the movie was great!
Are you thinking of an Alaska cruise out of Vancouver?
I‘m trying to convince her fiancé to name his car Homer lol!

@schumigirl Maybe you should put your name on the list now for next car! It is crazy. I have to say I’m loving this car. Got the top Trim model and only thing it doesn’t have that I’d like is the electronically folding side view mirrors. Husband has the Mercedes suv but I like driving mine better. We both keep our vehicles around 10 yrs so his is old now.
Haven’t seen Zohan, I can’t stand Adam Sandler either. Maybe I’ll try to find it.

@Lynne G sounds like you’re getting crazy weather too. But here I don’t think we’ve gotten above 70 and that’s rare. Most days wet and colder than normal. Still waiting for summer!
Whats jimmies?

@keishashadow I’m having a Father’s Day dinner but just the 4 of us. We had 11 over last weekend family and extended family/friends.
I love WL. But we stay on non dvc side. Love the new grill by the lake. Best burgers. Imo Roaring Forks has gone downhill. Don’t like new set up. Also enjoyed the new pool!
Sadly don’t know when next wdw trip will be for us. It’s getting too complicated planning plus room rates are just getting stupid.


Just a little more than a month till our Universal vacay. 2 weeks. We are driving down to SeaTac to fly. We have extended family that live in a burb maybe 30 min drive away from the airport. I booked that way to avoid having to do testing as at the time US lifted testing for land border but still had to test to fly. Now all testing is lifted! But too expensive to change flights, plus we would miss our family visit!
.Staying first 5 days at SF, then moving to Portofino. We haven’t been back to PB for quite awhile. So looking forward to returning. We loved our stay. A beautiful resort. And looking forward to having a longer stay at SF. Still haven’t bought our Discovery Cove tickets. I figure we can do that on a SF day since we won’t have EP till we move to PB. I wish I would have bought them before the Canadian $ dropped! Hindsight!

 

[Charade67]

Time for another study break. I'm trying to finish up everything today so I don't have to do any work tomorrow. I keep checking my school email to see if my editing project has been graded yet. I'm really anxious about that.

The new school year hasn't even started yet and B is already having roommate issues. The university does't let you keep your same room from year to year. You have to go through the room selection process each year, and freshmen get first choice. By the time B got to choose, her dorm was full. A room opened up in a nearby dorm, so she selected that. On Wednesday the new roommate sent her an email. B doesn't check her school email every day durning the summer, so somehow the roommate "L" found me on Facebook and sent me a pm yesterday asking me to have B text her about the room. They fill out person al profiles and then you can see how well you match with your roomie. B and L have a 50% match. L is very concerned about this and was asking B a ton of questions. First she wanted to know why B chose her room. Newsflash honey, it's not your room. She asked a bunch of other questions and even suggested that B try to swap rooms with someone else in the dorm. Yeah, that only works if both parties are in agreement, and she would have to find someone who is willing to swap. B can usually get along with just about anyone, but has decided that she does not want to room with L. B finally told her that as soon as a room opens up in one of her preferred rooms that she would vacate L's room. Both B and I are now frequently checking the housing page hoping that something else opens up.

What a wonderful and amazing gesture! I hope your mom is sprung from the hospital for her birthday. That's not a great way to spend your birthday.

Unfortunately it looks like she's stuck there until at least Monday.

Edited to add...I hope the storms are not too bad. I am NOT a storm lover. They scare the bejesus out of me. Nope...don't like them...nope, nope, nope!

I do not like them either.

That makes me irrationally angry.

Another funny thing is that there is a yield sign right there. No excuse for misspelling.

Maybe call her Red? Lol. I’m open to suggestions!

Dh has a red car. He sometimes calls it Scarlett.

How’d y’all SAN folk!

Jh Buckeev!

Darn cold front arrived in the wee hours, and swear I heard rain sometime in the overnight. But as it arrived, the high is 74 degrees.

74 sounds nice to me. We have low 80's today.

IDK last great offer I received, connected to FL travel, was a TS one…for westgate…run, run, run away

We made the mistake of getting involved with Westgate once several years ago. Never again.


Back to editing.

 

[Lynne G]

Ack, Hope roommate issue works out for B, Charade. I would not like L either. I guess little one got lucky. They are great friends still, even though the virus made them no longer roommates. In fact, she still keeps in touch with most of the kids that were roomed on her floor. Hehe, I did not meet her roommate when we dropped off little one. But by the looks of what the other girl set up, I was like, she has the same tastes. They are both low key kids.

Costco run. Gas filled car, as well as kitchen pantry. Cheap lunch, as pizza slices and soda cups was less than 6 dollars, including tax. Though we did get iced coffee before we got home. Little one said her stomach did not feel good, so now chilling. Made some brownies, so had one before they cooked completely. I know all will finish them by the end of the day. Made only a 8 inch square pan size. Time for some tea, as done my iced coffee with the brownie.

Thinking steak on grill dinner, as did pick up steak. Was a mostly overcast day, as predicted, but at least no chance of rain until Tuesday. Was fine with a T shirt and lightweight pants, and little one was fine with shorts and a sweatshirt. We saw all, from shorts to jackets. Was not that cool. Just nice, with a wind that says, hello, from the NW. Iinterestingly, saying tomorrow, wind will be from the NNW, and Father’s Day to be a beautiful sun filled day, with the high of 75. A perfect weather weekend. Great way to end our rather cool Spring. As yay, Summer arriving next week. Woot!

 

[Charade67]

B has had an interesting history with roommates. Freshman year she roomed with a Junior transfer student. They didn't become great friends, but got along well with each other. Then Covid hit and everyone got sent home. Sophomore year she roomed with a Senior who she already know because she had lived on the same floor the previous year. They got along quite well, but the roomie graduated at the end of fall semester leaving B with no roommate. Last year B roomed with a freshman. No problems there either, but the roomie left at the end of fall semester because she felt that she wasn't ready for college, once again leaving B with no roommate. I'm hoping B can find a good roommate for her final year.

 

[macraven]

charade I hope your girl does get a fantastic roommate and they are a perfect match!

Haven’t seen Zohan, I can’t stand Adam Sandler either. Maybe I’ll try to find it.

Nah, we have no idea what our next car will be yet, we`ll think about it next year, no rush for us to change this one, we absolutely love it.

Zohan is funny, some folks find it offensive, we found it hilarious!

That is weird. Yes, hopefully she`ll find another room and a better fit to share with.

We know a young lady who left Loews to work for Westgate about 4 years ago. The tale she told us of how they treat their workforce was dreadful.

charade I hope your girl does get a fantastic roommate and they are a perfect match!

Yep, it can make such a difference to share with someone who you match up with, can make your experience better.





We had such a fun evening last night. One of my friends came over to ours to get ready which was a real giggle.......she likes red wine too while she puts her make up on!

Dinner was beautiful, one of the best meals we`ve had there and they`re always fabulous, so very high standards from them. We all cleared our plates and some had desserts some had no room. I managed honeycomb ice cream and nothing else. But, it was a late one so we slept a little longer this morning......enjoyed that a lot.

Bacon this morning with white toast and copious amounts of tea!!

Guys are not going quad biking till much later today so Father`s Day dinner will be whenever they get back........making my own bbq sauce and will coat chicken thighs, make potato salad, coleslaw and a mix of salads.......as requested by the man of the day. He got some lovely little presents and a wonderful card, happy bunny.

Tonight is the Canadian GP, they`ll be back for that as it doesn`t start till 7pm our time.......that`s Sunday taken care of.

​

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, to all the fathers, hope you have a relaxing Sunday.

Ah, what a cold front high weather system does. Clears the sky, so was in the 40’s degrees in the overnight. Nature’s air conditioning. At the end of June no less.

But woke up just to see that glorious sunshine pouring through the window. So very bright out. And while you definitely need your sunglasses, weather guy said 25 mph winds today. Hair tied up, as may be a little bad hair day alert needed as well.

And so, was tea, so yay for Schumi having lots of it this morning, and decided to make quiches, bacon and cheese, and ham with red peppers and cheese. Decided eggs were getting old, so with hehe, pre made pie dough, easy breakfast. And was good to heat up the kitchen, as house felt a bit cool. Still does. Hope my MIL likes them.

And while a Sunday, older one works, and DH even being that good son on his day to relax. So, this will be that always all lady day. And I have no idea what our agenda is. Like yesterday, we did not get going until noon. With hearing both kids noisy last night, I have no idea when either went to bed, as I was asleep just after midnight. While was a rerun for sure, it was not one I remember seeing, so when it ended at midnight, the screen was turned off, and to bed I went. Thus, I still don’t expect to hear a mom from older one for a few more hours, and a can I have some more time (meaning at least an hour from now) from little one, as I ask if she is ready after older one leaves for work not much before lunchtime. So.whatever decided to do today, won’t be for several more hours. You know, when the places to eat turn their breakfast menus to lunch ones.

So my quiet time, and I enjoy it. Dove heard cooing on and off for awhile now, and birds have been heard since before the sunrise. Ah, big tv remote and teacup. Perfect. Though still doing a load of wash, so should hear the dryer buzz it’s done soon.

Super happy Father’s Day Sunday, too all the homies.

 

[Sue M]

@Lynne G send some of that sunshine here! Another gloomy day so far. But it’s early. I can’t believe it’s June. Junuary more like. We’re having steaks on the bbq too. Bacon wrapped!

@Charade67 oooo Scarlet! I like it! I hope B finds a great roommate this year. L sounds like she’d be difficult, better off without her. Hope your mom is ok once she gets out of hospital. Sounds like it may be time to start looking at homes? When the writing was on the wall with my mom I started looking so that when the time came it wasn’t a rushed decision and I knew exactly where I wanted her.

@schumigirl sounds like you had a fun evening!

Happy Father’s Day to all!

 

[keishashadow]

charade I hope your girl does get a fantastic roommate and they are a perfect match!

My youngest was in a mandatory, honors college only dorm For his first two years.

1st roomie was determined to ’save his soul’ and have him renounce our religion lol.

2nd semester appeared he swung a private room, nope…they plopped a Korean student in that didn’t speak much English. They became friends over star Fox video game, national sport there I believe?

3rd & 4th semesters, a kid from Phillie who was rarely around, hanging with his homies.

3rd & 4th years, rented a house with his buds, let the merriment begin

happy happy to all the Dads & the single parent moms who do double duty. Cake out of oven, rolls are rising and cornbread ready to come out. thankful it’s cool enough to fry chicken and do that big ‘ole southern spread I do love. Sides, give me side dishes yum.

have a wonderful dah all!

Love that meme about husband/dad.......and so true! I will never forget the look on Tom`s face when Kyle was placed in his arms not long after he was born, never seen anything like it, the look of joy and happiness on his face was priceless......a bond for life for sure

Have a wonderful day......food sounds so good!!!

Now I want cornbread and sweet potato casserole from 4Rivers!!

 

[macraven]

sweet!
you will always remember Tom’s smile schumi

 

[Monykalyn]

Happy Fathers day to all the dads out there. Travis is working this weekend at a convention (and helping out another vendor as his mom isn't doing well) so won't see him until Tuesday. Its at the Lake of Ozarks-we did drive up for the day yesterday to go out on boat, and take dogs out. Nala took to the water & boat pretty well. Nemo...well he hides when boat is moving and only jumped onto our raft when we stopped to float a bit when he saw the ducks. Boats around us got a laugh at the dog trying to do his hunting pose on a floating raft. Both dogs wear their water vests at all times on the boat and dock (treat em like toddlers and keep eyes on them). Need to put the pics up on instagram.
Garden is going wild with this weather. May have squash before we leave actually. Happy pollenators really did a good job as have lots and lots of blooms on all the plants.
Alysa is in Alaska on some remote island they had to helicopter to get to-last message we had in family group chat was her short video of helicopter taking off before she was out of cell service area. Of course her sister had to get the last word with the message "Don't die"-siblings!

For some reason, Hawaii youtube videos keep popping up I have always wanted to go and have put the bug into dh's ear for the winter of 2024 for our 30th anniversary trip. So I guess we will see.

Sorry it's me skewing the algorithm lol. Four work days until we leave. Started tossing stuff into suitcase today.

So what do we think of HHN houses so far? I think anything will be good if the plexi is GONE so jump scares aren't advertised!

Hope all are healthy and happy!! Hope to see some this fall in person! Think Lynne and I overlap again?? Such fun last year!
