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

[schumigirl]

everyone I hope everyone is ready for a nice weekend. Ihope the weather is good for everyone to enjoy. Our weather has been great it goes between 70's and 80's during the day. We are waiting to have a little more consistent heat before using the pool more.

We just went to Estereo and Bonita springs which is about 3 and 1/2 hours from us the kids wanted to meet up with a friend they met online who has family there. We made it a two day event and it was nice. We went to the Coconut Pointe Mall and it is big. I found one of my favorite stores it is called Estero Bay Oil and Tea. The woman told me they have a store in MT.Dora and I remember hearing about it on here. Anyway it has infused balsamic vinegars and olive oils, tea, honey it is great cause you can try it before buying it. I bought a butter, tuscan herb, lime and truffle olive oil and a strawberry, blueberry, coconut and peach balsamic vinegars. They had a special buy 3 get one free, which included the small ones, so I took advantage of it. I use a lot of olive oil and balsamic vinegars. The vinegars are white or red. We spent a lot of time there. I am glad there is one only about an hour from me.

This week are going to try some farmers markets and other community ones. I maybe going back to Universal for a few hours one night not sure I have heard the spring break crowds are crazy.

Charlie is starting a nice big garden for us, I am very excited for this as I am not good at it. He has a green thumb!

Happy Belated Mother's Day to our Sans family over seas. I hope everyone had a great day.

I started looking at the HHN thread and watching for dates of SANS family. I want to put a night or two and trying to wait to get the most visitors.

I caught a little bit about mushy peas and curry. We all like peas but a little firm and we all love curry. I love making a coconut curry shrimp over rice.

It's time to hit the pillow and watch some TV!!

Good to see you bobbie and glad you`re settling in nicely. And enjoy that pool time, i`m sure it`s lovely.

We love Mount Dora. The Mount Dora Olive Oil Company is where we go for those Balsamic vinegars and oils you can taste, they have loads of them. I think there are pictures of them in some of my trip reports, and there is a wonderful store called The Spice and Tea Exchange......you will spend a fortune in those stores as they are filled with products you just want to covet. We are limited with space and weight, but did find an extra suitcase helps.......lol......but both gorgeous stores.

The Spice and Tea one you may know as it`s a national store, I first went to one in Long Island at Port Jefferson.

Winter Garden had a phenomenal Farmers Market.

Oh I adore coconut in anything, but a lovely Thai curry, it`s especially nice in!!

Hope to be able to say hello at some time bobbie......we`re hearing all sorts of rumours of when flights may start up, but not getting excited till it`s confirmed or denied.

Have a lovely weekend.......





Saturday again......

Yes, bacon for breakfast this morning......might have a poached egg to go with it, or just make pancakes. Either is easy.

Seems Tom is feeling fine again this morning, so although dull is the order of the day for most of us, I think we may go out a walk this afternoon or this morning. It`s fairly mild and we could do with the fresh air. It doesn`t look as bad as is forecast right now, so maybe it`ll brighten up some.

Stir fries all round tonight.....then an evening of monopoly. Definitely wine with that.....unlike Trivial Pursuit, I never win monopoly.

Speaking with some family and one set of friends who are counting the days till they can leave the UAE. He also works there and like several friends after Tom, decided to retire early. They won`t miss it. Always enjoy a good catch up, and when they come home they`re going to reside down in Cornwall, haven`t been there in over 10 years, so hope to go visit them for sure when they do come home.

Ginger tea time.......

Have a wonderful Saturday and weekend........​

Good Saturday morning all. Great to hear from Bobbie. Love different stores. Particularly independents and “usually” do my best to use them whenever I can. There was a lovely oil and vinegar store in the next town. All in vintage glass apothecary dispensers. Wonder if it will still be there when stores reopen.

Lynne you were up so late. Hope you got a solid sleep afterwards.

So much warmer here this morning. Had half an hour out with Louie playing ball and not chilled at all. Got my coffee and settled back on the sofa for now.

Have a side of salmon in the fridge so easy meal later.

My delivery arrived so quickly - yesterday not the expected Sunday - so started the next book club choice last night. Definitely not one I would have chosen (don’t do violence) but got into it now. “American Dirt”.

Hope everyone has a good day.

 

[schumigirl]

Keisha......couldn`t resist.......

Don`t you just love that word heinous......certainly creates an image!!

 

[Charade67]

We are supposed to have a really nice day today. B texted the other day and asked if I would take her to a local historical cemetery. It’s for an assignment for her Virginia History class.

I’m up earlier than I wanted to be. I guess I’ll start working on some laundry.

Strawberry is resting too....gosh, I just love her green eyes!!!

Awww...she’s so pretty.
Those buffets look amazing. And such reasonable prices.

Charade sounds good to get a fitting - hope you found something nice.

I picked up a couple of new items and ordered a third. They aren’t my usual style, so I will see how much I like them before buying more.

I started looking at the HHN thread and watching for dates of SANS family. I want to put a night or two and trying to wait to get the most visitors.

Good to see you again Bobbie. I am
Going to be there just 2 days at the beginning of October. I’ll be looking for Mac’s official thread and post my exact days.

Seems Tom is feeling fine again this morning,

That’s great. My husband gets his first shot in about an hour.

Busch Gardens released their Food and Wine menus. We are making plans to eat our way across the park in 2 weeks. Why can’t I lose any weight?

 

[macraven]

Think Lynne is in early training for hhn

I never see her up as late as she was today!

 

[J'aime Paris]

I did refuse to go to the thing they were suggesting for couples at the time, and as we were living together and the minister knew at that point I wan`t a pushover, we didn`t have to go. Not for me, we were old enough to know our own mind. Joining wasn`t an issue for me. I wasn`t a member of any church, but Tom was although lapsed. Minister although young at the time was quite old fashioned and we locked horns a couple of times, but he did like me so we got what we wanted.

Yes, there`s more than one type of mixed marriage. I have cousins who have the reddest hair ever....whitest Scottish skin and one married the darkest Italian man you`ve ever seen....he looks almost Iranian, but pure Italian....and folks often describe them as mixed too.






Bleurgh......kidney`s are gross too!! But curry.....oh Lori there are so many types.....Indian, Thai and all variations in between......love curry. And it doesn`t need to blow your head off. A good curry will build in heat as you eat it.....or just get a very mild one.

I`m on my way for the seafood buffet Lori!!! WOOO.....that looks so good! Will enjoy the Malbec for sure.......and yes, he`s doing so well with the shot. yes, he`d share his mushy peas with you I`m sure.......

Beautiful cat. So pretty. And bonus points for your DH today....that was nice......



We are both laid along the sofas right now.....both looking like beached whales.

Made the pizza doughs.....a little too big, but we all chose our toppings and got them in the ovens.....we are completely stuffed. You know when you don`t want to stop eating......that was us. But, completely delicious.

Won`t be doing much tonight......and won`t be eating till late breakfast tomorrow......the call of the bacon will be going out.......

We've had the Seafood buffet on a couple occasions as well...it is also very good!
Build your own pizza is always fun too! Is there any such thing as too much pizza, lol??

Keisha thank you for explaining about your schools. Here there is free schooling (and nowadays pre-schooling) for all children. A lot of fee paying schools around us too as we are adjacent very wealthy areas. There wasn’t free pre school when my two were small and as I was working after DS was 3 I chose to send him to a fee paying school near my employment however when I moved house he joined Em at the country primary school as it was excellent.

I can still remember the totally inappropriate and embarrassing pre marriage talk by the minister at my first marriage. He passed away a couple of years ago and a few people had the same memories!

Charade sounds good to get a fitting - hope you found something nice.

J’aime any of those buffets sound great. Also meeting friends - yes please.

J and Kev both love mushy peas along with Tom. Perhaps it’s a man thing?

Enjoy curries here too - though hate Thai ones. Too fragrant - particularly dislike lemongrass. Good job we all like different things.

Settling down to watch the movie Peterloo. Knew very little about the history until we did a Manchester city walk with our AZ walking group. Terrible massacre of innocent people. Not pleasant viewing but I enjoy learning the history.

Have a good Friday evening everyone.

I enjoy history and visiting museums too!

Are you fairly close to Busch Gardens?
I know I'd gain 10 pounds just looking at those menus!!





Happy sunny Saturday!!!

The animals are all fed, and now they are snoozing contentedly. Amazing how they can sleep all night....eat in the morning....then go right back to sleep!! Some pampered pets I'd say, lol!
The dogs will pop up real quick when it's time to go for a walk, and they hear me grab the leashes!

Lunch has been in the crockpot for an hour already. Easy creamy chicken, stuffing and green bean casserole. Leftovers will be plenty for tomorrow too.

My vehicle is fixed. Something with the valve stem on the tire was faulty.....glad it was a quick and easy repair!



And Happy Spring as well!!

 

[Charade67]

Are you fairly close to Busch Gardens?

It’s a 3 hour drive. We always stay overnight when we go.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, yes, I can hang with the night owls when I want to, Mac. But it helps it was a Friday night, and no need to be a quick early morning the next day.

Ah yes, had a wonderful sound sleep, so thank you Julie. It was one of the best I have had. I guess it was a long week.

And woot! Spring is here. Sadly, as the free water ice that would have been today, has been canceled for the second year. Can bring the crowds from the time before they open. Hence, it may be even another year not happening if things are not much better next Spring. I have to agree, as crowds still bother me, enough I would go out of my way to avoid if I could.

And so, after that good sleep, lots of wash done, so that always appreciated freshly washed towels were used after a refreshing very hot shower. Then about an hour and a half ago, asked the kids what we are doing today. Older one said not sure. Little one, after several times being asked, growled I will be ready in an hour. Well, it is over an hour and a half later. No sign of little one. Guess I better be a bit more, hey, get up you are almost wasting your morning in bed. Eh, at least she knows late wakes means no chance breakfast items would be on the take out menu. Well, our Cracker Barrel and diners always offer a breakfast menu all day and night. And even now WaWa offers a dinner menu, offered after 4pm. So with hoagies, burgers and fries, pasta and other dinner type food.

Ah, a Super Stupendously happy Spring Saturday.

Tea for me, and time to wake the little one. Only plans for now, is to grocery shop, and pick up an ordered item from a mall store. Seems both kids have once again declared no food in house, while I disagree, told them one of them must then come with me to the grocery store. I’m thinking it may be little one. Every time I get older one with me, she swears nothing for her was bought.

Aww, like that Louie had some play time with Julie, and glad Julie had some hot coffee. Hope your Saturday has been nice.

Schumi, I hope flights will be open for you soon, so can enjoy the over the pond fun. Always nice to have local store made flavored oils and vinegars.

Not a good sign as to opening our borders. The other day, saw still no border crossing between Canada and the US, as have been extended another month. After the beginning of June now. I feel bad, as many families have members in both countries. My Canadian friend could not come home to her mom before her mom passed away, and my nephew’s wife has not seen her parents and siblings in over a year.

But as the world gets more open, sounds fun to be at BG’s food and wine time, Charade. Nice you can see the menus now. Yeah, I think BG is about 4 to 5 hours away. Only time I was there, was when older one was a baby. My DH was stationed at Dam Neck, so all near Williamsburg was much closer. We have been to BGT quite a few times, and BGSD twice. Never been to the one in Texas either. Maybe we will be in Virginia one of these days. Older one likes the history of the Williamsburg area.

Time for now demands being made. I hate a late start. But as it was a glorious sunrise, a most clear and bright sunny day. Mind you, still what I would say not hot yet, 46F. But as will see the 50’s this afternoon, such a wonderful way to start the Spring season.

I hope your husband does ok with his too Charade.....oh I think it’s an age thing now.....I’m resigned to never being slim.....it’s just easier all round......lol......

Have a lovely day with your daughter.

I believe I may discovered what too much pizza feels like last night! Almost couldn’t finish my bacon this morning.......lol.......it does look a lovely menu, I’d be torn what to order.

You‘d love Mount Dora and Winter Garden, and Winter Park too Lori....all places we adore visiting when in Florida. Beautiful little stores that make you feel like your in the 1950’s. Beautiful items for sale everywhere.

Yep, looking forward to being whooped at Monopoly.....

Glad your car is all sorted now......and have a lovely afternoon and evening too.......




Yes Lynne we have no over the top expectations as to borders opening.....but it’s getting closer every day.





Ended up nipping out this morning, first for a walk, but the beach area car parks were mobbed. We should have walked down as we are only 5 minutes away, but we planned to stop in to a veg place to buy some fresh ginger. We ended up just going for the ginger and on the way back, stopped and walked a little at a quieter place.

Weather is much nicer than forecast and quite warm.

Sitting in the garden room with a glass of white wine......very nice. 84F in here today, nothing like that outside of course, more like mid 60’s.

Spring is here.......

 

[Charade67]

Quiet day on the boards today. We had a nice afternoon. Dh and I went to a cemetery with B. She was doing research for a history assignment. It was really fascinating looking at all the old headstones. Many were so old that you could barely read the information on them. B noticed a lot of flags around some tombstones, so we went to have a look. There was an area dedicated to fire-rescue members who died in the line of duty. There were 4 large, old, identical stones in a row. Dh noticed that all 4 men had died on the same day. Then we found a relatively new marker that gave an explanation. Five firefighters died in a structure fire back in 1883. Four were buried next to each other in this cemetery, and the fifth in a family plot in a different cemetery. I looked the story up online. Very tragic.

I also found an actual weeping angel. (Doctor Who reference for those unaware,)



Dh is doing well so far after his vaccine. He says his arm is a little sore, but not too bad. I was concerned that he might have a bruise on his arm. One of the medications he is taking makes him bruise more easily. He takes a martial arts class 3 times a week and right now his arms look like someone has beaten him up.

 

[Lynne G]

Sunday already, and close to bedtime for me.

Pasta for dinner, good. Mall was way too crowded for me. Even saw old enough kids to know better, have no masks. Picked up my item, thankfully with no line, and boogied out of there. Grocery shopping was not much better. Seems no one wants to follow that 6 feet away. Sigh. I wish my county would allow anyone to get the shots. Saying still not even close to finishing the group 1. Maybe I won’t be eligible until well after Christmas. So no cruise even considered for January 2022 because of my county not having enough shots to cover our over 838,000 adults. Second sigh.

Clock has already struck 12, so need to tell both kids, they better get to bed soon, cause I am starting to go to bed.

Hope all have a most peaceful night.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Charade I would have loved that outing. We always explore churchyards and the history. Often return home and search the internet to follow up. Particularly like authors resting places and will fit stops in when travelling.

Lynne I can’t understand why masks aren’t mandatory for you. It’s a given for us and have them in every bag and pocket. Anything to keep us well.

We are doing exceptionally well with vaccinations here. Over half the population now. Proud of everyone involved in the process especially volunteering. At our centre the local Scouting leaders were the car park and reception volunteers many I know and glad to see.

Need to pop out for some eggs and cream this morning. Might not drive to the farm as can just walk to the local store.

Monykalyn will be heading home today refreshed and warmed by the sun. Safe travels.

Peaceful Sunday all.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Julie, masks and social distancing are both still required, but there is always those that don’t care. And as we are starting to open more, I guess some people feel they don’t have to be so considerate of others. Just means I will try to be going when it is off crowds time, and limit time where I know crowds might be.

Ah another glorious sunny day.

Ah nice to be able to walk to the store for grocery items, Julie. I too have my local town stores less than a 10 minute walk away, including a grocery. Is nice to walk there when the weather is pleasant.

Charade, nice to be able to walk around an interesting cemetery. Neat that B was required to do so as part of a class.

And so, as I woke up, little one went to bed. Sigh. To be young. Yeah, the mom alarm will be going off around noon. 8 hour sleep is what I am going to let her have. Then she better not try that bedtime tonight. Older one will be surely up before her, as I know he went to bed not much after me, so will make breakfast for him, as he enjoys a good breakfast. And not an issue for me to have two breakfasts. LoL But I already had a bowl of cereal. By the time he gets up, I will probably be hungry.

MonyK, hope your flight was good and hope home soon, having had a fabulous time. Safe travels my friend.

Thus, that ever quiet morning house. Only two loads of wash needed, and all should have clean now. Tea and the remote. Getting a bit warmer in the afternoons, but that wind did not make want to ditch the jacket yesterday afternoon.

And a typical Sunday for us, as getting the trash out, and ready for week day routines is our Sunday today.

Super Serene Sunday homies.

Ah Spring has arrived, and weather guy said this week we will see 60’s highs, April weather. Sweet! Keep that warmer weather coming. And the beautiful sunny days.

Tea refill time. And such a beautiful bright day, with sunshine pouring into my window since sunrise. Ahhhhh. Later homies.

May all homies find yourself enjoying a happy Sunday, and feeling good.

 

[macraven]

We don’t have any mandates for wearing a mask in Georgia, never have
Shop anywhere and eat anywhere without them

Walmart tried to enforce mask wearing but it only lasted 3 weeks back in March a year ago.

Some stores have employees wear masks but not the customers

Atlanta is the only city that requires a mask to be worn.

Even with having both doses of the vaccine, I will wait more months before I shop in the local stores

 

[keishashadow]

Today was bath day for the pooch.


Blood work just kept the runaway train running. New week, new attitude; putting on ‘dem big girl panties and dealing.

Remind me to tell you what the Minister said about my wedding dress......we were living together at the time before we got married.....lol.....

Sounds like a good one! I got grief for 1st wedding too. Wore an over the top (what a surprise, right haha) scarlet O’Hara type dress of chantilly lace, complete with a giant hoop skirt. Issue was the off the shoulder style but no cleavage display. Priest balked. My parents absoutely not the sort to ruffle feathers, even tho they thought the idea of a big wedding a waste of $, they made it right.

If you do decide to spend some time here please let me know. I’m about a 40 minute drive from Appomattox. 3 hours from Williamsburg/Jamestown/Yorktown, and within reasonable driving distance of Monticello, the D-Day memorial, and lots of other historic places.

Absolutely

Quite unique how each area does a fish fry!

It is church groups fireman (better quality) mostly here that hold them, usually done very well. Fried fish just never sets well upon me. I’ve never thot to ask what sort of fish they use. Do know whenever they have walleye people flock to it.

Yes, it's thing around here! Especially in small communities where supper clubs are prevalent. And look at that price $13.99 for all you can eat! They will lose money on some people, lol!

Never heard of a supper club. Run by social clubs or fraternal organizations? How in the world do they make a profit at that price?

The white star group nearby used to offer a Sunday roast beef or spaghetti meatball dinner for $5. Can of pop cost a quarter . When the mostly older ladies died off, it sadly went the way of the dinosaur.

Strawberry is resting too....gosh, I just love her green eyes!!!

She’s beautiful. Shape of face reminds me of Siamese cat I inherited from my MIL, RIP such a nice kitty.

Had a bit of a vehicle issue when I tried to leave this morning. The tire pressure in my right front passenger side was low. Guessing I drove over a nail or something, and created a slow leak. It was ok yesterday...
Anyway, DH was extra nice! He just drove all the way home from work to swap vehicles with me, and he's bringing mine in to be serviced. It's the little things!!!

Oh no, yea to your mr. Noticed my car still making a fainter noise, despite being proclaimed ‘fixed’ on Thursday. Mr’s solution is to trade it in, um...that’s a hard NO! Lol

Yes, there`s more than one type of mixed marriage. I have cousins who have the reddest hair ever....whitest Scottish skin and one married the darkest Italian man you`ve ever seen....he looks almost Iranian, but pure Italian....and folks often describe them as mixed too.

It’s funny when a redhead pops up in the family and neither parents nor family’s have any. I imagine before it was realized two recessive genes were in order, there may have been some side eye happening.

I’m quite pale, the father of my first 2 DS was Sicilian. Oldest looks exactly like me but, develops an easy dark tan. Middles DS a clone of his father except for my pale skin. He burns and freckles like me before lightly tanning. You’d think the skin attributes would be switche?

Won`t be doing much tonight......and won`t be eating till late breakfast tomorrow......the call of the bacon will be going out.......

I’ve got my tartan ready

Here there is free schooling (and nowadays pre-schooling) for all children. A lot of fee paying schools around us too as we are adjacent very wealthy areas.

mandatory, free education here, everywhere. Not pre-school though, that’s usually combined with daycare programs. Unfortunately, the quality of a school district, typically is determined by the tax base of the district.

This week are going to try some farmers markets and other community ones. I maybe going back to Universal for a few hours one night not sure I have heard the spring break crowds are crazy.

Nice to not have to visit U until the mood suits you. So many people ask me why I haven’t visited the huge flea market south of Disney. Well, since I rarely haunt them at home, not likely to happen. Nice you can now go off the beaten path & explore.

Speaking with some family and one set of friends who are counting the days till they can leave the UAE. He also works there and like several friends after Tom, decided to retire early. They won`t miss it.

I’m sure they are itching to get any. Insert any excuse to post a Kurt Russell picture

Don`t you just love that word heinous......certainly creates an image!!

Hehe

That’s great. My husband gets his first shot in about an hour.

Busch Gardens released their Food and Wine menus. We are making plans to eat our way across the park in 2 weeks. Why can’t I lose any weight?

you’d think all that waking up & down those hills there would burn some calories lol

Yea for the mr not having any issues with the shot

enjoy history and visiting museums too!

Same, find it fascinating. Mac is our resident civil war expert here.

My vehicle is fixed. Something with the valve stem on the tire was faulty.....glad it was a quick and easy repair!

Indeed

Not a good sign as to opening our borders. The other day, saw still no border crossing between Canada and the US, as have been extended another month. After the beginning of June now. I feel bad, as many families have members in both countries. My Canadian friend could not come home to her mom before her mom passed away, and my nephew’s wife has not seen her parents and siblings in over a year.

It’s sad, not sure if it’s reciprocal decision or not. Saw that cruising is starting out of St Maarten & Nassau with celebrity & another line. Too early for me to consider.

Yep, looking forward to being whooped at Monopoly.

Long as you don’t get the old boot, you are a winner. Don’t think they even have that one any longer in newer sets

I also found an actual weeping angel. (Doctor Who reference for those unaware,)

Woot! I love poking around old cemeteries looking at the monuments

Grocery shopping was not much better. Seems no one wants to follow that 6 feet away. Sigh. I wish my county would allow anyone to get the shots. Saying still not even close to finishing the group 1. Maybe I won’t be eligible until well after Christmas.

It was awful yesterday when i bopped out to WM with the mr who needed fishing line, soon trout season starts here. Cashier volunteered it’s people flush with stimulus $, made sense.

Lynne I can’t understand why masks aren’t mandatory for you. It’s a given for us and have them in every bag and pocket. Anything to keep us well.

The clueless among us here have been joined by those who have bastardized that common disregard for others into a political statement

May all homies find yourself enjoying a happy Sunday, and feeling good.

Same sent back to you

 

[Realfoodfans]

Keisha sorry about your blood work results - do you have to take medication or special diet?

Lynne these lockdowns play havoc with sleeping routines. Like you I’ve never been able to lie in so stick to getting up even if it’s been a bad sleep.

Mac I don’t blame you - we are grateful most people here are being sensible.

Beautiful Spring day here so we’ve done a good walk from home. Not worth attending local beauty spots as will all be too busy. Our forest area rangers were turning away traffic as early as this morning.

Em has gone walking with one of her close friends who is in a similar situation. They are gradually building up their distance.

Dinner is prepped and we’re watching a documentary about the Mississippi - fantastic photography.

Today was bath day for the pooch.

Blood work just kept the runaway train running. New week, new attitude; putting on ‘dem big girl panties and dealing.


Sounds like a good one! I got grief for 1st wedding too. Wore an over the top (what a surprise, right haha) scarlet O’Hara type dress of chantilly lace, complete with a giant hoop skirt. Issue was the off the shoulder style but no cleavage display. Priest balked. My parents absoutely not the sort to ruffle feathers, even tho they thought the idea of a big wedding a waste of $, they made it right.

Absolutely

It is church groups fireman (better quality) mostly here that hold them, usually done very well. Fried fish just never sets well upon me. I’ve never thot to ask what sort of fish they use. Do know whenever they have walleye people flock to it.

Never heard of a supper club. Run by social clubs or fraternal organizations? How in the world do they make a profit at that price?

The white star group nearby used to offer a Sunday roast beef or spaghetti meatball dinner for $5. Can of pop cost a quarter . When the mostly older ladies died off, it sadly went the way of the dinosaur.

She’s beautiful. Shape of face reminds me of Siamese cat I inherited from my MIL, RIP such a nice kitty.

Oh no, yea to your mr. Noticed my car still making a fainter noise, despite being proclaimed ‘fixed’ on Thursday. Mr’s solution is to trade it in, um...that’s a hard NO! Lol

It’s funny when a redhead pops up in the family and neither parents nor family’s have any. I imagine before it was realized two recessive genes were in order, there may have been some side eye happening.

I’m quite pale, the father of my first 2 DS was Sicilian. Oldest looks exactly like me but, develops an easy dark tan. Middles DS a clone of his father except for my pale skin. He burns and freckles like me before lightly tanning. You’d think the skin attributes would be switche?


I’ve got my tartan ready

lol......love the memes!! And the Bacon tartan......never seen that one before!

I got the NY taxi last night......yes, the old boot is in the original set, didn`t look in the electronic one to see what they were.....it`s London themed so have no idea, haven`t played that one in years. And yes, I did get whooped.....lol....I was first knocked out, the other three played on for another hour.

I sent you a picture of me in my wedding dress didn`t I?? Similar idea......full hoop, and beautiful puffed sleeves.....I adored my wedding dress!!! Yes, the minister and I shared some interesting conversations till I was one sentence away from saying we`d get married somewhere else....think he put me down as a lost cause....lol....we got on quite well after that......

We have our idiots here too Janet.....yesterday there was a mass protest in London with signs about Covid being a fake, we need to stop wearing masks and so on....I`d have got the water jets out on them......same ones will be looking for our Dr`s and Nurses to take care of them if they ever catch it. It was disturbing to watch. One of my nephew`s is a police officer and knowing he has to deal with folks like that isn`t fun.

I doubt I`ll ever go back to Paris now, but they do have some amazingly beautiful museums there......truly spectacular.




Had a wonderful day today.......got up early and did all my laundry then went a long walk along the beach before it got too busy as today was so beautiful.

Spent some time in the garden, walked down to where the fruit trees are and they are budding......apple blossom is out and looks lovely. It`s so nice to see spring springing......

Have a honey ham baking slowly in the oven for dinner, and will make parmentier potatoes, roast peppers and baby carrots to go with them, apple crumble and will make up some custard for dessert.

And had some facetime chats with a couple of cousins on the other side of the country......one always has some tales to tell whenever you speak to her due to her job.....always interesting.

Spoke to my book group and asked, as we only meet every 4-6 weeks if they fancied doing a movie choice in week 3, to split the time. Most of us can read a book in days, but as some are very busy, they like the usual once a month meet. So they all agreed it was a good idea......I had mentioned to I think it was Keisha, there are so many movies I haven`t watched.......so first one will be in a few weeks. Not hoping for cowboys, war or sci fi......lol....I`m not fussy!!

Happy Sunday.......

 

[J'aime Paris]

Ah, yes, I can hang with the night owls when I want to, Mac. But it helps it was a Friday night, and no need to be a quick early morning the next day.

Ah yes, had a wonderful sound sleep, so thank you Julie. It was one of the best I have had. I guess it was a long week.

And woot! Spring is here. Sadly, as the free water ice that would have been today, has been canceled for the second year. Can bring the crowds from the time before they open. Hence, it may be even another year not happening if things are not much better next Spring. I have to agree, as crowds still bother me, enough I would go out of my way to avoid if I could.

And so, after that good sleep, lots of wash done, so that always appreciated freshly washed towels were used after a refreshing very hot shower. Then about an hour and a half ago, asked the kids what we are doing today. Older one said not sure. Little one, after several times being asked, growled I will be ready in an hour. Well, it is over an hour and a half later. No sign of little one. Guess I better be a bit more, hey, get up you are almost wasting your morning in bed. Eh, at least she knows late wakes means no chance breakfast items would be on the take out menu. Well, our Cracker Barrel and diners always offer a breakfast menu all day and night. And even now WaWa offers a dinner menu, offered after 4pm. So with hoagies, burgers and fries, pasta and other dinner type food.

Ah, a Super Stupendously happy Spring Saturday.

Tea for me, and time to wake the little one. Only plans for now, is to grocery shop, and pick up an ordered item from a mall store. Seems both kids have once again declared no food in house, while I disagree, told them one of them must then come with me to the grocery store. I’m thinking it may be little one. Every time I get older one with me, she swears nothing for her was bought.

Aww, like that Louie had some play time with Julie, and glad Julie had some hot coffee. Hope your Saturday has been nice.

Schumi, I hope flights will be open for you soon, so can enjoy the over the pond fun. Always nice to have local store made flavored oils and vinegars.

Not a good sign as to opening our borders. The other day, saw still no border crossing between Canada and the US, as have been extended another month. After the beginning of June now. I feel bad, as many families have members in both countries. My Canadian friend could not come home to her mom before her mom passed away, and my nephew’s wife has not seen her parents and siblings in over a year.

But as the world gets more open, sounds fun to be at BG’s food and wine time, Charade. Nice you can see the menus now. Yeah, I think BG is about 4 to 5 hours away. Only time I was there, was when older one was a baby. My DH was stationed at Dam Neck, so all near Williamsburg was much closer. We have been to BGT quite a few times, and BGSD twice. Never been to the one in Texas either. Maybe we will be in Virginia one of these days. Older one likes the history of the Williamsburg area.

Time for now demands being made. I hate a late start. But as it was a glorious sunrise, a most clear and bright sunny day. Mind you, still what I would say not hot yet, 46F. But as will see the 50’s this afternoon, such a wonderful way to start the Spring season.

I hope your husband does ok with his too Charade.....oh I think it’s an age thing now.....I’m resigned to never being slim.....it’s just easier all round......lol......

Have a lovely day with your daughter.






I believe I may discovered what too much pizza feels like last night! Almost couldn’t finish my bacon this morning.......lol.......it does look a lovely menu, I’d be torn what to order.

You‘d love Mount Dora and Winter Garden, and Winter Park too Lori....all places we adore visiting when in Florida. Beautiful little stores that make you feel like your in the 1950’s. Beautiful items for sale everywhere.

Yep, looking forward to being whooped at Monopoly.....

Glad your car is all sorted now......and have a lovely afternoon and evening too.......




Yes Lynne we have no over the top expectations as to borders opening.....but it’s getting closer every day.





Ended up nipping out this morning, first for a walk, but the beach area car parks were mobbed. We should have walked down as we are only 5 minutes away, but we planned to stop in to a veg place to buy some fresh ginger. We ended up just going for the ginger and on the way back, stopped and walked a little at a quieter place.

Weather is much nicer than forecast and quite warm.

Sitting in the garden room with a glass of white wine......very nice. 84F in here today, nothing like that outside of course, more like mid 60’s.

Spring is here.......

I actually watched 2 youtube videos recently. One about Mt. Dora and the other about
Winter Garden. Lovely places!!

84F in your garden room!?! You do like it hot Carole!!

Quiet day on the boards today. We had a nice afternoon. Dh and I went to a cemetery with B. She was doing research for a history assignment. It was really fascinating looking at all the old headstones. Many were so old that you could barely read the information on them. B noticed a lot of flags around some tombstones, so we went to have a look. There was an area dedicated to fire-rescue members who died in the line of duty. There were 4 large, old, identical stones in a row. Dh noticed that all 4 men had died on the same day. Then we found a relatively new marker that gave an explanation. Five firefighters died in a structure fire back in 1883. Four were buried next to each other in this cemetery, and the fifth in a family plot in a different cemetery. I looked the story up online. Very tragic.

I also found an actual weeping angel. (Doctor Who reference for those unaware,)

View attachment 563952

Dh is doing well so far after his vaccine. He says his arm is a little sore, but not too bad. I was concerned that he might have a bruise on his arm. One of the medications he is taking makes him bruise more easily. He takes a martial arts class 3 times a week and right now his arms look like someone has beaten him up.

Sounds like a day well spent. Something I would thoroughly enjoy too!

Charade I would have loved that outing. We always explore churchyards and the history. Often return home and search the internet to follow up. Particularly like authors resting places and will fit stops in when travelling.

Lynne I can’t understand why masks aren’t mandatory for you. It’s a given for us and have them in every bag and pocket. Anything to keep us well.

We are doing exceptionally well with vaccinations here. Over half the population now. Proud of everyone involved in the process especially volunteering. At our centre the local Scouting leaders were the car park and reception volunteers many I know and glad to see.

Need to pop out for some eggs and cream this morning. Might not drive to the farm as can just walk to the local store.

Monykalyn will be heading home today refreshed and warmed by the sun. Safe travels.

Peaceful Sunday all.

Our county mask mandate has recently ended as well. Number have been trending down for a long while.

Oh Julie, masks and social distancing are both still required, but there is always those that don’t care. And as we are starting to open more, I guess some people feel they don’t have to be so considerate of others. Just means I will try to be going when it is off crowds time, and limit time where I know crowds might be.

Ah another glorious sunny day.

Ah nice to be able to walk to the store for grocery items, Julie. I too have my local town stores less than a 10 minute walk away, including a grocery. Is nice to walk there when the weather is pleasant.

Charade, nice to be able to walk around an interesting cemetery. Neat that B was required to do so as part of a class.

And so, as I woke up, little one went to bed. Sigh. To be young. Yeah, the mom alarm will be going off around noon. 8 hour sleep is what I am going to let her have. Then she better not try that bedtime tonight. Older one will be surely up before her, as I know he went to bed not much after me, so will make breakfast for him, as he enjoys a good breakfast. And not an issue for me to have two breakfasts. LoL But I already had a bowl of cereal. By the time he gets up, I will probably be hungry.

MonyK, hope your flight was good and hope home soon, having had a fabulous time. Safe travels my friend.

Thus, that ever quiet morning house. Only two loads of wash needed, and all should have clean now. Tea and the remote. Getting a bit warmer in the afternoons, but that wind did not make want to ditch the jacket yesterday afternoon.

And a typical Sunday for us, as getting the trash out, and ready for week day routines is our Sunday today.

Super Serene Sunday homies.

Ah Spring has arrived, and weather guy said this week we will see 60’s highs, April weather. Sweet! Keep that warmer weather coming. And the beautiful sunny days.

Tea refill time. And such a beautiful bright day, with sunshine pouring into my window since sunrise. Ahhhhh. Later homies.

May all homies find yourself enjoying a happy Sunday, and feeling good.

Looks like a beautiful Spring week ahead!

I'd like to see that wedding dress picture! I'm sure we all look so different from our wedding days. My DH looked so young, as if I were robbing the cradle! But he is older than me truthfully.





We had a super evening with our friends! They stopped by our lake house for a drink before we headed to Meatlovers buffet.....and it was delicious!
The ice on the lake has started melting, but has a long way to go. Not the best photos...they don't really show much. But the sun was getting low, and this was the best angle...

Beautiful pictures Lori.....glad you had such a good evening and food too! Did you go shopping with DD earlier in the day for an outfit?

I`ll email you a couple of the pictures



Considering how warm it was today, it`s decidedly chilly tonight outside. Took some trash out earlier......big drop in temperature.

Trying to decide if it`s going to be dry enough up in the woods to go up walking tomorrow.....it`s been dry and sunny, so maybe......

More Person of Interest tonight.......

 

[Lynne G]

Ah what a beautiful day.

Great pictures, Paris.

Yeah I married a Greek guy, so both my kids tan much better than me, little one almost as tan as her dad.

And Keisha, yeah puffy ball gown was my wedding dress. No love for it now, but it sits in my closet floor, in a box that was made to keep the material good.

Ah steak on the grill to make neighbors know we are having dinner. LoL. It was delicious.

Chilling after getting the trash out, and still warm feeling.

Did not know my car fob battery could die out. Well, after car told me battery low and inconveniently had to use hard key to open doors, and car not detecting the fob key, was fed up. Looked up what to do. Ah pop open and replace battery. Went to the auto store, they popped open, old battery popped out, new one in and charged me 6 bucks. Much better amount than 400 to 600 dollars to replace fob. Annoying that when I looked up how to do it, also said those batteries last about 4 to 5 years. Sigh. Car will be 5 years old in September. At least car now does not say battery low. Hold this battery lasts at least 4 to 5 years.
