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

[Monykalyn]

Hellloooo!
Quick drive by to say happy belated birthdays to several and Happy anniversary to Carole and Tom!
Decided on a last minute trip to lake - mom in law always glad to have us. Alysa stayed behind -she is coming to day- to see some of her friends who were home from college. Also got to see my "summer daughter" who is visiting from Germany!!
We leave in a few days to drive Alysa out to Seattle. And it is supposed to SNOW in Denver on Tuesday-hope it is gone by Thursday.

ou should do an ancestry kit ala 23&me. My teeth almost fell out of my mouth at the results! So much fun to browse thru it

I didn’t sign in for the surprise relatives to pop out of woodwork tho lol

You know that is how we "gained" a daughter right? Literally she found hubs that way. Only have known her and her family since 2018, but feels like much longer, fits in well. Actually Paige (at UCF) is at her house this weekend in St Augustine lol! We are all meeting up at RPR the weekend after thanksgiving for a couple days. Too good of a deal for Florida residents to pass up. Crazy cheap AP deal for that weekend too.

@Monykalyn just found you and followed on Instagram. I’m (obviously!) realfoodfans on there if you can find me.

Anyone else on Instagram?

Goodnight for now. Early start in the morning.

 

[schumigirl]

That's a big group! We have anywhere between 12-25-ish people for parties or holidays. And it's mostly family. I buy chaffing dishes and sternos in bulk from Sam's, lol. It's fun though!

Happy Labor Day! Starting to get the ribs and chicken ready to cook later, I bought clams for my dad that I have to clean, and the flag is already up outside. DD has online class this morning and we won't be doing anything until this afternoon

Hope everyone has a great day!

Yep we like a big group like that. It`s funny when we go up to Scotland, I tell them to have it at someone else`s house......oh no.....that doesn`t happen....no one does it like us apparently.....lol......but, they are all good....everyone brings food or drink or both. We just always have it at our home......I love it though.

Your day sounds lovely.....hope it goes well, and enjoy that food......

We are doing left over pizza for dinner tonight

We live in a quiet neighborhood and no group gatherings here unless a neighbor host a family event for their relatives
Only once in the past 4 years here, only saw multiple cars on our street during a holiday.

Pizza sounds good!!!! Save some for me.........

Hellloooo!

Thanks Monyk......some lovely family time for you there.....hope the trip to Seattle goes well......always had a hankering to see Seattle.......noooo.....avoid the snow....far too early to hear that word!

Nice you have a trip planned to RP..........lovely picture too.......




Been a busy evening here.....working on a project for someone....lots of reading, writing and commenting on the work. Keeps me out of mischief........

Not warm here, but not cold either...very weird weather day........windows will be open tonight for sure........it is claiming to be 62F.....not so sure......

Dinner was lovely, added some cream before I served it and made it that little bit nicer, everything is better with cream.......not long till bedtime here, everyone is yawning their head off tonight.....Kyle said about 15 minutes ago it was bedtime for him, we won`t be far behind him.

 

[macraven]

Safe travels monyk!
That’s a long drive to Seattle.

Julie, obviously I’m not on instagram as I don’t even know what it is....lol
But hope you do find others that is on it.

Schumi, I gain weight every time I read your threads about the foods you cook. They all sound delicious.

Lynne, just a couple of weeks and you’ll be on vacation.
Woot !

Charade, anytime you are ready you can show us tonight’s porch light.

Mrose, all the peeps in your house doing good and staying healthy?
hope so!

Keisha... home yet?
You have been missed
Hope you return home with a tan.

I only went back a couple of pages so if I missed a shout out to any of our homies, I’ll get you next time.

Sweet dreams to all the homies!

 

[Charade67]

Sorry Mac. I just got home a little while ago. We went out for a late dinner and dh discovered that he didn't have his wallet. We searched the car and the house with no luck. I ended up having to drive him back to the university. Thankfully we found the wallet safely locked inside his office.


How about a little nostalgia for tonight?

 

[macraven]

Another great night light for the homies!!

So glad your husband found his wallet.
I would have had chest pains if my wallet was missing...

Back later to check on the homies.

 

[Charade67]

I lost my wallet once. It was the day my dad died. I had gone to Walmart to buy some things I needed for our long drive from Miami, FL to Canton, GA. When I went to pay I could not find my wallet. I had managed to hold it together fairly well until then. That was the tipping point. I burst into tears right there in the checkout lane. I went back home and found my wallet in the bushes outside my apartment. What a relief..

 

[macraven]

Charade, that had to be so upsetting for you.
It’s a blessing you had a happy ending to find your wallet.

How is your mom doing now?
Is she back home yet?

 

[Charade67]

How is your mom doing now?
Is she back home yet?

Thanks for asking. She has been home for several weeks. She finally had the external fixation device removed on Friday. Wednesday she is supposed to get a plaster cast. I don't know how long she has to have that on. I'll call her Wednesday evening and get details.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, I did that in the mall once. Went to pay, and was like OMG, my wallet is not in my purse. I tried to redo my steps and which stores I was in. Defeated and upset, decided to go back to my car. Yep, it was sitting between the front seats. To this day, cannot remember why I had taken my wallet out of my purse in the car. My DH has left his wallet at work too. Frantic about it, I told him to go back to work, yep, was in his work desk.

Cute light, Charade.

Yay, a MonyK reporting post. Safe travels and great weather at the lake.

Ugh, it is a back to work Taco Tuesday sigh. Thus, no night owl for me.

Tomorrow, will be saying an early hello and a good morning to all the homies, including Julie and Schumi, just before they will be saying good afternoon.

Good Night

 

[macraven]

Lynne, I bet that was totally upsetting when you realized your wallet was missing.
What a relief you found it quickly once you were in the car.
I can image how thrilled you were when you found it!

When you said taco Tuesday, I had to think what day is it...
Having a Monday holiday has thrown me off guard..
Yup, Taco Bell day is Tuesday!

Charade, good news your mom has improved and home.
I’m sure she loves sleeping in her own bed each night.
You’ll be able to catch up on how she is for the next stage she will have when the plaster cast is put in.

Mr sandman has not come to my house yet....
Waiting patiently to get sleepy.

 

[schumigirl]

Schumi, I gain weight every time I read your threads about the foods you cook. They all sound delicious.

lol......sadly so do I I think I invented the best weight gain diet ever

Yep, no social media for me either.....no Twitter or FB! This is the only social media I do......if you count this as social media.......

Sorry Mac. I just got home a little while ago. We went out for a late dinner and dh discovered that he didn't have his wallet. We searched the car and the house with no luck. I ended up having to drive him back to the university. Thankfully we found the wallet safely locked inside his office.

lol....we still have that in the attic.....think the batteries might need renewed!!

Glad DH got the wallet......it`s a horrible feeling.......

Another great night light for the homies!!

So glad your husband found his wallet.
I would have had chest pains if my wallet was missing...

Back later to check on the homies.

You`ll remember when I lost mine in NYC on one of the visits I had taken my mum......and it was returned to me by the guy that found it! I was so lucky, and haven`t ever forgotten the guy that found it and made sure it was returned to me.......my guardian angel was looking out for me that day........




Beautiful sunny and fairly warm day today, although weather says it`s supposed to be dull and grey......and they try to tell us how it`s going to be in thousands of years......nonsense.

Just finished breakfast so haven`t decided what to do today yet.......I do know i`m making beefburgers for dinner tonight......no bun, we just like the meat! Will do spicy cous cous, potato salad and regular salad.....will grind the beef later.......

Lunch I have no idea on.........

Need to call hair salon to see if I can get an appointment to get my hair done Saturday morning......going out for dinner Saturday night, and my hair is so long again. Don`t need highlights yet, but definitely need a good cut.

Happy Tuesday.........

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, a working week day homie, who generally keeps track of the days.

Salon day for me, Schumi. My hair is getting long, but I like it for now. Happy to be on the routine salon schedule now. And eek, both my Dsis and little one prefer my white hair. Um, not ready for that yet. Yeah, I am old, still somewhat shocked to be old enough to have a soon to be 23 year old, and a niece and nephew in their late 30’s. But white hair, um no. So will be nicely blonde once again later today.

And so, a hearty good morning to Schumi and Julie, and all the other homies.

Warmer day, as this week features a 10 degree swing. 87 is the high, and with that warmer weather, the hunt for haha, rain loser is on, and all will be losers this week. Mid week, after the rain, the temps dip to 77 for a two day cooler feeling days, then by the end of this week, back into the low 80’s. I’d say, yeah, end of summer is sadly ending soon. Good thing I get to enjoy that Florida heat soon too. Gotta make sure I get some 90’s highs during that last 2 weeks of September.

And yes,


But a bright note, means a shorter week. And since it has been some time, highly thinking of taking Friday off. Shorter week, woot!

Oh yeah,


Hehe, today is a Taco Tuesday, homies. Join Mac in having a Taco Bell run. Eat your tacos, and say yay, Taco Tuesday is here, as holiday Monday got us ready for it.

And so, no matter the day, I am enjoying a cup of tea, and many a day, enjoy the food discussions in the SANS.

Saw waffles in the freezer, so most likely breakfast for me. Almost as boring as cereal, but with the last of the milk finished this weekend, and grocery trips did not include a milk in the bags, no cereal for me. A watermelon and strawberries did, though. So thinking waffles and some fruit. Cut up the watermelon yesterday. Sweet tasting. Did not get into the strawberries yet, but hope they are sweet too.

Later homies. A terrific Taco Tuesday to all the homies.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Currently at Manchester Airport with many others - here to watch the penultimate Virgin Atlantic 747 leave for the last time - this lady called “Forever Young” another we’ve flown on. How can a plane bring so many people and emotions together!

 

[Lynne G]

Pictures, Julie. How nice to see the whole 747 fleet. Made the news here.

 

[Elsaspiritanimal]

Good morning! Woke up to a very gloomy Tuesday. It fits my thoughts about working again today perfectly. Only a high of 54 today too! Sweatshirt will need to go on for my walk later!

Since its so cold I will make Chicken Tortilla soup for lunch - that will warm the day right up! Not sure on dinner yet though - maybe Tuna noodle casserole? Something easy and again will warm us up nicely. Crazy weather! Oh well off to get some iced coffee running through the veins. Have a happy tuesday all!

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, Elsa taking about how cool it is, and yet having an iced coffee. Lunch sounds good, dinner not so much. Not a fin fan here.

Strawberries were sweet enough, good pack. Almost ready to find a snack. It’s a all busy house today, as school and work routine in full swing.

Morning Sans family








Happy belated birthdays to Schumi's hubby Tom



Lynne’s daughter



DLP’s middle




Happy Anniversary to The Schumi and hubby



Schumi glad to read you had a great trip to see family in Scotland.

Keisha looks like you and hubby are having a a great trip to the beach with good food.

I always enjoy reading about everyone’s travels.

Bobbie68 great to see you post......fingers and toes crossed that your hubby gets the job he wants in Florida and you find a home there and sell your present home easily.

Realfoodfans....I saw the narrowboats on your walk path adventure. Roast beef dinner sounded delicious.

Monyk your trip to the lake sounds good. Have safe travels to Seattle.

Disxumi so nice to see you post.

Lynne hope your tea is hot and tasty today.

Shout out to Tink, Sue, Patty, Squirlz, and all the other regulars we haven’t seen here for awhile

I did read back a number of pages looks like you all have been busy.

Can’t remember everyone who is going to Universal this month, but the countdown is on for Lynne, Mac, DLP and myself.

I have been busy with the mask making. Enjoy making them.

Traveled up to Stepmoms memorial service this past weekend. Was a very nice service.

My older sister is in town. We are going to all meet up for breakfast at a local place then go to our moms grave in Kentucky. She made a nice wreath to hang there.

I did have Covid test here locally and I was negative. They are not testing for antibodies here yet so I will have that done later.

I jumped in to the Halloween spirit of things and did some decorating.


My Witch Tree in kitchen



Pumpkin Tree in diningroom

My older sister made this Sanderson Sister wreath for me


Need to start plotting my vacation adventures. I want to get over to Hollywood Studios to see if I can get on the 2 Star Wars rides and I want to go to Disney Springs while in Orlando this time. Maybe an Outlet Mall Adventure and a visit to Mall at Millenia. The rest of the time will be enjoying my favorite place to vacation Universal.

The weather here was beautiful Friday when I traveled north. The humidity had dropped 30% and I needed a sweater while I was in northern Indiana in the evening. . The temps got warmer Sunday as I traveled South and the humidity is back in the upper 80’s.

Older sister has brought wreath making materials for us to make some Halloween wreaths. So looking forward to that.

Thinking of putting on a pot of chili, grilling some hot dogs, pulling the ingredients for walking tacos together and having a game night. Will either be tonight or tomorrow night. Will see how the day plays out.

Mac today is Taco Tuesday.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

 

[mckennarose]

And it is supposed to SNOW in Denver on Tuesday-hope it is gone by Thursday.

Ugh! Don't say the "S"-word yet!
Safe travels!

no one does it like us apparently.....lol......but, they are all good....everyone brings food or drink or both. We just always have it at our home......I love it though.

Lol, sounds like us! I admit it can get exhausting, since not a month goes by without a family birthday, anniversary or other holiday/celebration, but it is fun. We didn't do anything during quarantine and we're still being careful with having only smaller outside parties. I am concerned about the Fall and holidays and what we're going to do.

Your day sounds lovely.....hope it goes well, and enjoy that food......

We had a great day, thanks! It was in the 70's and a little windy, but sunny and very nice.

Mrose, all the peeps in your house doing good and staying healthy?
hope so!

Yes, thanks. The good news from dd's uni last night is that they only had 18 new cases over the weekend. It looks to be slowing now that they've gone all online.

Thankfully we found the wallet safely locked inside his office.

Whew... that would've scared me too!

Yep, no social media for me either.....no Twitter or FB! This is the only social media I do......if you count this as social media.......

None for me either. When myspace first came out I had an account, then I felt like it took up too much time and there was too much pressure to "connect and comment" on everyone's posts and pics, so I decided it wasn't for me. I never had a facebook.

Only a high of 54 today too! Sweatshirt will need to go on for my walk later!

Brrr... Fall is definitely coming! It even smells like Fall here now.

I did have Covid test here locally and I was negative.

Good news!

They are not testing for antibodies here yet so I will have that done later.

Hubby and I had antibody testing a few months ago and we were negative. But we keep hearing that the antibody tests are not super accurate, so we don't know what to believe. We just keep doing what we've been doing with regard to masks, distance, etc. Stay safe!
I LOVE your Halloween decorations!

 

[macraven]

Nice to see many here this morning!

Lots of homies catching us up on how they are doing.

Nice pictures Robbie!
Can never have enough Halloween decorations!

I started my day at 6 feeding the cats, then hit the laundry.
Not an exciting morning but trying to keep a schedule.

Tomorrow we are having a large tree cut down
That will be my excitement for the week.
No more spiny burrs to deal with then

I’m excited for that!

My hoa site was Cherokee land and our tree was here back then.
If I ever learn how to share pictures here, I’ll show that tree.

Taco Bell has retired quite a few items off their menu
and one of my favorites made the cut.
Never thought that would happen.

Received a flight time change but no big deal.
Middle seats on Delta will stay blocked out thru January.
I’m good with both those notices.

Hope all the homies have a great day and continue to stay healthy!
