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

[Monykalyn]

And it’s Monday. Hope all have a nice Memorial Day. I only have a 3 day workweek this week! Had a nice boat ride around lake yesterday, filled it up with gas, had lunch at a spot close to Mother in laws so quick trip home after. The place we had lunch at was busy, but staff was fast and efficient! We were prepared to be there for awhile anticipating staff shortage but no problems at all!

Peach cobbler was my favorite flavor. What is yours?

we came home with Apple pie and Blackberry!

Vodka with lemonade?? I do like Tito or Grey Goose vodka!

the blackberry moonshine works great with lemonade! We put the apple pie with cream soda for apple pie ala mode.

Baby visit was lovely. He is so chilled!

First family picture for them -

sounds like nice visits! Great picture too.

Dinner in the fake outdoors tonight.

how was it?we’ve only eaten at the outside one, although I stop for my margarita inside...

Kyle tells me we now only have astronomical darkness from 11.45pm till 2.15am.....they were out imaging last night even though it is only for a couple of hours, but after this weekend it`s not really worth it as it`s just not dark enough. But, they`re delighted the longest day is coming up as it`ll get darker for longer at night soon after.......funny bunnies.

yes funny bunnies! But cool hobby!

Went with dry, spicy salami this time as the protein in lieu of pepperoni, think it will be my new go-to

that looks sooooo good!

Thanks, i’ve Seen some scary incidents over the years with dogs hoping into water from boats. Apparently, they all cannot swim, who knew?

yeah we have a life vest for him with the handle on top. Rule of boat is kids in life jackets- includes fur kids too. Like kid life vests not all are rated the same.

Exactly one week till our first adult Disney trip.

I am hitting Universal solo June 7th and 8th, excited, nervous, all the above.

have fun!

And will be nice to see most of my siblings and their families. And she does have a heater that heats the pool water. I’m sure the young kids will be excited to see the pool.

Lake water mid 70’s and see kids out tubing and swimming! Is pool ever too cold for kids to swim lol? Nice to see all the fam!

I had my second shot on Thursday. No side effects. Glad it is done. Our state has returned to normal, thank goodness.

yay for no side effects - both the girls got their second this weekend too, and no side effects so far either. I’m holding off on son until I talk to our myocarditis researcher in the family (she’s literally a myocarditis researcher at Mayo Clinic in Florida, multiple awards for her research especially in kids) just like I wanted only the mRNA one for the girls. Not worth even tiny risk of clots- especially as oldest has wacky medical things already. Our state is mostly normal too, except for parts of KC and STL.

It’s 3:00 in the morning. I’m on a bus to the airport. What was I thinking?

hopefully able to rest a bit on plane? I deliberately chose late flights for vegas trip but try to choose early ones for Florida. Safe travels!

Not sure if it’s just our neck of the woods but those sausages are never referred to by “brats”, everything is sausage. TBH, don’t know many who do eat them, German food is a rarity. Sausage = breakfast style, italian sweet or hot or kliebassa/smoked

Wisconsin had lots of German. I’ve only heard them called brats/bratwurst all my life. Soaked/cooked in beer first, then tossed on grill- on menu for today!

Hi All,

Finally able to make a post. Trying to keep up with reading though. A sunny day here after rain for two days. Not complaining as we needed it desperately. I think we had gone for 3 weeks without any measurable rain. Everything was so dry and turning brown. Cool 70 degrees today but will warm up this week.

I had my second shot on Thursday. No side effects. Glad it is done. Our state has returned to normal, thank goodness. No reason not to since the 7 day positivity rate is 2.5% and numbers keep falling. Some businesses are still requiring masks but most are not.

Nothing much on the agenda today. I watched a little of the History channels WWII in Color. Certianly brings the meaning of today into perspective. I may cook some hamburgers on the grill this evening but no sweets or high carb sides dishes. I am back on my low carb diet so the whole family has to suffer..Lol.



Thanks! Hope you have a great trip and safe travels today.



That is so nice of Tom to help your friend's son with his car purchase. It is such a big decision and such a help to have someone in your corner with the negotitions.



Me too. I have had them all my life and really can't see myself without one but it does become difficult when you want to travel. Thankfully, my mom lives around the corner so she is able to take are of our dog when we are away. My fil is also very close so he helps out as well.



Sorry about your feet. I hope they are feeling better today. Safe travels on your trip home. I loved seeing all your pics.



I am not much of a drinker but my go to is usually a vodka and tonic with lots of lime. Belvedere is my favorite. That or Kettle One but I think Belvedere is smoother.



Beautiful family Realfoods! They look so happy!


Happy Belated birthdays to Keisha's ds and dh.

Glad you were ok with the 2nd shot. And glad to hear you`re heading back to normality.....wish our Prime Minister would show some more positivity. High vaccination numbers and lowering numbers, but still trying to keep restrictions in place.

Yes, the History Channel has some wonderful and very thought provoking shows at times.

Good luck with the low carb again......it`s not easy. And yes, buying your first brand new car is a bit daunting for sure........

Have a great week cam.......

We don’t know them all, but we owe them all.

He has such exacting standards, always a pleasure to view his work.

That last park day can be emotional, especially when kiddos are along; bittersweet



I always tended to put my brats in timeout

Not sure if it’s just our neck of the woods but those sausages are never referred to by “brats”, everything is sausage. TBH, don’t know many who do eat them, German food is a rarity. Sausage = breakfast style, italian sweet or hot or kliebassa/smoked




I refuse to give Diddy any of my $, he has enough already Lol. It’s gotten to the point that if a celeb owns or touts a brand, I avoid it. The full court press for the Kardashian tequila is annoying, especially the commercial

Vodka my spirit of choice, general go to’s: absolut or grey goose, with Smirnoff 21 totally acceptable for mixing. I find tito’s Generally far too sweet if used a basic mixer, fine in a sugary libation.



always thot such great fun there, off our rotation when menu 1st changed. What did you wind up eating there?

A good one, everyone looks contented, even that adorable pug

Hoping to break 70 degrees today, dipping hand into pool yesterday got a shock. Was warm, now brrrr. Have put a space heater on the last few mornings to take

Happy Memorial Day to you too Keisha........

Had no idea Diddy was part of ciroc....now I don`t want it......lol......Absolut works too for us. I can`t even remember what tito`s tastes like, think it was O`Charley`s that used it in a cocktail. Yes, celebrity brands we avoid like the plague...if ones like the Karcrapians endorse it, I`ll put my pennies somewhere else.......

A brat here is someone else`s kid that is annoying lol....Sausage is the word we use here too....but in Germany it`s certainly a popular term.

I think the picture is finished, he did 3 hours on it again last night, I think this is the last night tonight as it`s just not dark enough through the summer now. It`s a good one. Will pop it off later.......and hopefully he`ll get the other nebula tonight.



Missed a few posts......realfood, lovely picture of your son and his family.



emcarle.......have a wonderful trip, hope it`s a lot of fun!



Monyk....cute doggy picture, and glad you had a nice lake visit.

Yes, it is a cool hobby and he`s so good at it, his pictures are quite spectacular.



Charade.....hope you got home safely.




Had a lovely late sleep this morning, always nice to snuggle down a bit longer. Then headed to a friends home for a birthday brunch she had organised......we were under a large gazebo to protect us from the sun and only 14 of us, but well spread out. It was lovely, and felt kind of normal.

Weather is glorious again today, came home mid afternoon and we`re sitting out again in the sunshine, albeit under a parasol......won`t need much for dinner if anything as we kind of stretched brunch to early afternoon nibbles. But, a lovely way to spend a Bank Holiday.

As we drove out this morning, the amount of traffic heading into all our seaside towns was quite eye watering! Good for businesses but heck I`m glad we don`t ever have to worry about parking spaces for the beach with being so close. Everywhere will be mobbed. We get a bit of nice weather and everyone has the same idea.

Bank Holidays we tend to avoid anywhere the public will want to go.

No cooking tonight, so chilling out will be lovely.

hi everybody

I'm back from the land of the lost homies...sorry it's been so long. I've been working like crazy (we call it the 100 days of hell) so I've only had time to read on occasion but hopefully it's slowed down now.

All are doing well ...we had dinner at Trey's place last night and he grilled out steaks and chicken breasts with zucchini and potato wedges...yum. We're grilling burgers and sweet potato fries at my house tonight.

Happy I just paid off the mouse portion of our September trip today

Now if only SW would come up with some affordable flights so I can get everything done.

We had to cut a day off of our trip because Danielle didn't want to close the restaurant another day so now our dates are 9/19 - 9/23 for WDW and 9/23 - 27 at Universal. I'm just glad we talked her into going since we all haven't been as a family for several years. We also have a friend coming along who has never been so it will be fun showing her around.

I have missed so many celebrations here so let me wish everyone who had a birthday and all who celebrated an anniversary Happy Anniversary

Shout out to Carole, mac, keisha, Robo, Lynne, monyk, charade, Paris, cam, pumpkin, real, and anyone else I missed.

Have a wonderful Memorial day homies

Welcome back my friend.........so good to see you!!

And fabulous news on the trip.......I saw your post earlier and was over the moon you were sorted!

Glad Danielle is managing to come this year too, that will be lovely. Your two kids together......I think we only met you when you had one or the other with you......and last time we saw Danielle, she had hurt her foot/leg??

Hope the work eases soon and hope we see you post more........oh and enjoy the food....sounds lovely!!

Safe travels for Charade and J’aime.

A beautiful morning here though Louie wanted to get up very early the perimeter stroll was peaceful and he was soon fast asleep on the sofa while I am now on series 3 of Grace & Frankie - loving it!

Bank Holiday Monday and the young pastry chef I’ve told you about (who has thrived since being made redundant) opens his new store this morning so we plan to call for cake to support him. Also need some garden canes to repot the GC sunflowers.

DS is still on paternity leave this week so we are planning to see them again soon.

First family picture for them -

View attachment 578724

We have lamb steaks for our meal tonight but no bbq here so will have to cook inside. Kev was tempted to buy one yesterday but again everything still on hold until we know if we will have to move home. We tipped our huge gas set up when we moved here.

Hope everyone has a peaceful day.

Beautiful family!
Made it safe and sitting by pool at Hard Rock

Julie, nice to see that young pastry chef did get to open a store. Wonderful of you to support that shop today, the first day opening. Great picture, such a sweet baby and cute pug. So happy for them. Enjoy your bank holiday.

Ah yes, the early traveling crew. Charade, safe travels home, and Paris, safe travels from home. And from an early bird homie, I do like those very early morning flights of the day. Means you get an almost full day to either relax and do the wash, and get back to routine, or get some more park time in, and start the first of the fun by mid morning.

Eh, just can’t sleep late on this holiday Monday for us too. At least it does not seem to be raining out, brighter, but overcast. And a bird keeps standing on the little part of my window’s bottom sash, and peck at the window. Looks like a small, black looking bird. Nope bird, nothing to see in here.

And so, the heater in the house still running, as a cool 48 degrees is what the thermometer says. Though what the weather lady said this early morning, we may still see some rain, but it is a drying out day for most, and may see some sun in the afternoon, to top off around 72 degrees late in the afternoon. At least it should be nice enough to be outside this afternoon. As some of us have that week day routine tomorrow, food will be offered from lunchtime to dinner time. I’d like to be home by early evening, as have to get the trash out, and relax with my routine time to sleep, as will be up just before the sunrise tomorrow, as already had set the alarm when I woke up this morning. Back to routine Tuesday, where tacos are the food of the day. Yay! Shorter week. And decided I do need a very short week, so Friday will be a day of rest too. Woot!

A good morning to Julie, and all the homies. Marvelous holiday Monday to you all.

And with that, the tea pot needs to be filled and tea for me. Ahhhh.

Getting up at 2:40am is exclusively reserved for vacation. We are tired but will push through.

The first time went to Alabama we stumped our real estate agent. She had no idea that brats weren’t naughty children!

We had to cut a day off of our trip because Danielle didn't want to close the restaurant another day so now our dates are 9/19 - 9/23 for WDW and 9/23 - 27 at Universal. I'm just glad we talked her into going since we all haven't been as a family for several years. We also have a friend coming along who has never been so it will be fun showing her around.

I have missed so many celebrations here so let me wish everyone who had a birthday and all who celebrated an anniversary Happy Anniversary

Shout out to Carole, mac, keisha, Robo, Lynne, monyk, charade, Paris, cam, pumpkin, real, and anyone else I missed.

Have a wonderful Memorial day homies

Sounds like a fantastic trip is planned!



Sitting poolside at the Hard Rock! We ate lunch and ordered cocktails, all very good!
Can confirm that the hot tubs are still closed. Masks are being worn by employees and not many guests at all from what we’ve seen so far.

Our room was ready when we arrived, before 11am. We were superhappy about that!
One park is open until 10pm tonight and the other until 9 I think. . We may head over after a bit more rest.
Have a great Memorial Day everyone!

Glad you made it safe and sound Lori and good news your room was ready......hope lunch was good!!

German ancestry here too...on both sides. German relatives marvelled at our mastery of their language, but Scottish accents are gutterally similar to German, so it`s easy to pick up.

Look forward to hearing about your trip......




Gorgeous evening here. Glad we didn`t plan to go the beaches after all today....they were heaving and roads were tail backed in many places with no one moving. Yep, will avoid that like the plague.

I think we forget how lucky we are to live where we do as so many folks want to spend time here. But, we do appreciate it.

Tonight we went out a walk, just under 4 miles and it was hot! We were glad of the breeze coming in off the sea. Sitting outside with a cup of tea now......

Another lovely day ahead tomorrow and 2nd vaccine in the afternoon.......looking forward to getting that done.

 

[macraven]

Tink
Glad returned “home here “ !
Been thinking of you a lot and wondering how you were doing

my dates are off by one from yours but might see you in the Atlanta airport..... lol
As if that was possible...

it would be easier for me to drive the hour from my house to yours to see you

You always have great vacations and hope the one coming up will be fantastic!

 

[macraven]

I step away from the boards side a couple of hours and seems like a reunion going on here in the sans

playing ketchup right now to post

looks like lynne has a shark in the pool...
Our Wisconsin homie Lori is now relaxing at the pool and getting tanked.
Hope she has one for me ...
Charade is back to real life now, what a bummer for her
Cam got her shot and no longer has cooties
Monyk is lake fishing for dinner
Our newest homie emcaile27 posted and hope we did not scare her off
RF was here a bit ago and having a good day
Keisha will learn to enjoy German food.. we will start her off on the good beer

my memory is like a 100 y/o and can’t keep my homie kids
names correct
I’ll go down the list and write out everyone’s name as don’t want to leave anyone out on my Mac shout out to all

We never did make it to the grocery store today so it’s either grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner or tuna salad

Days kind of blend together when you no longer have to punch the time clock at work .
Lol

 

[Robo56]

Good Memorial Day Sans family

Robo........love the memes! And thank you for the good wishes.......hope you have a lovely day ahead of you.....enjoy that lovely sunshine!

Thank you....we have had on and off weather. Few days of summer temps then temps fell again and cooled off. Now it warming up again and the sun is shining. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Sending lots of mummy dust that your jab tomorrow goes off without issue. Glad to hear Tom was ok with his.

I ordered a hockey themed cake for my two BD boys for later this week. One’s team is knocked out of playoffs, other’s are probably not far behind. Maybe I should rethink it

Happy belated birthday to your son.

I haven’t been taking a lot of pictures this trip. Here’s a couple from the flower and garden festival.

Nice pics Charade......looks beau.......tiful.

Wait....what??? Did I understand that correctly? A student was having sex during an online class?

Ok......LOL...I have to ask did she get an F in the class. I for sure would have failed her.

Monyk.....glad to hear you have a short week and you are enjoying some lake time.

Will think of you Robo when riding Minions!!!!

Please do.

only saw ap available at PB and HR
And only checked for my dates to see if there was a drop in price from what I booked at

Yep......looks like RPR is SOLD OUT in September.

We had a news conference about restrictions. If we keep on our current rate of immunizations and fewer hospitalizations and active covid cases, we will be fully opening up by July. They are hoping to start the second shots in a couple of weeks. Right now, in our province, it's open for anyone born 2009 and before...so 12 years and up. Youngest ds went on Monday for his shot. So we all have the first shot. Hopefully not much wait time anymore for the second. They haven't given details on how they will roll out the second ones. I guess time will tell. I'm just sooo excited that our restrictions are finally lifting!!! Next week we can go to restaurants for outside dining, and I can get my hair done before ds's grad.

Sounds like things are looking up for you all.


Happy Belated birthday to your mister Keisha

It’s 10:30. I’m tired and sweaty and my feet hurt. We are in line to take the bus back to the hotel. A little boy, about 8 or 9 years old, keeps singing the word “hello” over and over again. I am going to lose my mind.

I can picture that. I have been on the bus heading back to the Resort at Disney with the grandchildren a few years ago. When you are tired those things have a way of gnawing on your nerves.

If I were a horse they would have shot me by now. Because of the blister on my heel, I tried to find some sandals. The stores had mostly flip flops which I won’t wear. I tried some slides, but they didn’t fit my fat feet. In desperation I bought some Crocs. I wore them today and they started rubbing blisters on the top of my feet. The nurses at first aid gave me some band aids, moleskin, and suggested that I get some socks. The stores only had knee socks, so here I am being super stylish.

I feel your pain. Shoes that typically feel fine to your feet suddenly don’t do well with excessive park walking in the Florida heat. Have to admit the Galactic colored Crocs with baby Yoda on them are kinda cute.

But for now......Lori.....thinking of you as we have a Sloe Gin with sparkly lemonade, cherries and lemons.......we got this bottle for Christmas off of someone and decided to open it today..

Drinks look yummy.

Omg to pick up BD cake for the boys, started my antipasto last night, always so pretty. Went with dry, spicy salami this time as the protein in lieu of pepperoni, think it will be my new go-to

Wow........that antipasto looks delicious.

First family picture for them -

What a wonderful family photo.

As we drove out this morning, the amount of traffic heading into all our seaside towns was quite eye watering! Good for businesses but heck I`m glad we don`t ever have to worry about parking spaces for the beach with being so close. Everywhere will be mobbed. We get a bit of nice weather and everyone has the same idea.

Everyone is heading to the water. My sister in Orlando told me a friend of her from Minnesota said his family who had rented a condo on the beach in Daytona had to wait until midnight to get to their condo as they shut down entrances into Daytona Saturday do to excessive crowds.

Shout out to Carole, mac, keisha, Robo, Lynne, monyk, charade, Paris, cam, pumpkin, real, and anyone else I missed.

Hello Tink you have been missed here. So good to see you post. Great news on your family vacation coming up. Sounds like You need a nice vacation with a cocktail in hand and your feet propped up on a lounger by the pool.

Sitting poolside at the Hard Rock! We ate lunch and ordered cocktails, all very good!

Sounds like a relaxing way to start a vacation. Enjoy.

We are “super” German heritage.

My hubby is a 100% German.


Lynne enjoy your pool time.


Mac always enjoy the homie roundup.


I have family coming over for barbecue in about an hour. It’s a beautiful day here and the sun is shining.

This is our son and daughter-in-laws Anniversary and they do not know that this is why we are having this barbecue today. They were married on Memorial Day weekend many moons ago. They will be surprised.

They are going on a nice vacation in July so I bought them some vacation things and gift certificates to the Mouse House. Our son is a big Star Wars fan so they are making a stop to go to Hollywood Studios and visit Batuu.


Hope everyone is enjoying good food and family today.

Have a great Memorial Day.

Spent the afternoon watching the mr drown some worms while I spied a beaver, turtle & some sort of crane that must’ve gotten lost. Such a relaxing day.

Getting ready to grill some burgers, enjoying a Seagrams cooler, jamacia me something or other. Finally found one of that ilk I can tolerate. Up to now, always a strange aftertaste. Did try jack Daniels ones in SC but they don’t sell that brand here, yet

Fancy peti fours made

Impressive, no idea ‘real people’ made them . Can’t even get the bite sized ones I like to have on hand for holidays in bakeries here. Thank goodness for Swiss colony online.

yeah we have a life vest for him with the handle on top. Rule of boat is kids in life jackets- includes fur kids too. Like kid life vests not all are rated the same.

Oh, i’ve een them, such a great idea. Had to put the Thundervest on my pooch last night. Starting the FW early in season here, crazy they didn’t start up with them until after midnight ugh. Good thing we were up watching Army of Darkness on Netflix. What a great romp that was lol

that looks sooooo good!

Even better today . Thought of you on way home from lake. Came home a different, more rural way. We almost took out a flock of quite fancy looking, huge chickens who suddenly decided to cross the road.

High vaccination numbers and lowering numbers, but still trying to keep restrictions in place.

You guys need just a bit of a boost to get over that finish line! Good luck

and hopefully he`ll get the other nebula tonight.

he’s inspired us, I had forgotten about the local observatory at the nearby county park. Going to try to head up the next time they have a star (viewing) event for public.

Shout out to Carole, mac, keisha, Robo, Lynne, monyk, charade, Paris, cam, pumpkin, real, and anyone else I missed.

you’ve been missed. Glad to hear you have your trip in place, sad once again tomiss you though. Isn’t it great to have dinner at your adult kids place for a change? A rare event here lol

Made it safe and sitting by pool at Hard Rock

Aaaaaaah, enjoy

We are “super” German heritage. Other than breakfast sausage, it’s only brats for us, lol

There you go, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. That doesn’t sound quite right, too lazy to google it. My mr also of paternal German heritage. Pretty sure he’s never eaten any of the cuisine, period. Know he’s never had any sort of sausage on my watch, despite my encouragement. Picky eaters i have to the left & righ

Pool time:

shark! Baby shark, shark, shark, shark, shark

Another lovely day ahead tomorrow and 2nd vaccine in the afternoon.......looking forward to getting that done.

woot

Keisha wi

i’ve Tried to like german food, just too bland for my liking. Twist it a hair & i’m Good with most Slavic/polish, all in the seasonings. Caraway doesn’t agree with me. PS don’t even like the smell of dark german beer or jaggermeister.

Happy belated birthday to your son.

They both had a lovely weekend, thank you

When you are tired those things have a way of gnawing on your nerves.

You put that well. I always marvel at the parents/guardians who seem non-pulsed by that sort of thing.

Wow........that antipasto looks delicious.

I love a colorful dish, elevates my mood

So thoughtful of you, they will be thrilled. Hint: Have them make reservations for MGM each day of their trip. They can then typically cancel the other days & reschedule for other parks (GS can help them) once they succeed in getting a virtual sport to ride RoTR.

Hehe, little one asked what was for dinner. I was so full from our late lunch, that told her whatever she finds in kitchen to eat, fine with me. Did feel sorry for her, as much of lunch menu was not what she wanted.

Alarm set, trash is out, and leftovers in the refrigerator for the men that missed our lunch. Older one works until 10, and I’m sure he will be hungry when he gets home.

Nothing that interesting on the screen, and getting to be my retiring time.

Hope all have quiet night, and a good night’s sleep.

Good Memorial Day Sans family



Thank you....we have had on and off weather. Few days of summer temps then temps fell again and cooled off. Now it warming up again and the sun is shining. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Sending lots of mummy dust that your jab tomorrow goes off without issue. Glad to hear Tom was ok with his.




Happy belated birthday to your son.

Nice pics Charade......looks beau.......tiful.




Ok......LOL...I have to ask did she get an F in the class. I for sure would have failed her.

Monyk.....glad to hear you have a short week and you are enjoying some lake time.




Please do.




Yep......looks like RPR is SOLD OUT in September.




Sounds like things are looking up for you all.


Happy Belated birthday to your mister Keisha

I can picture that. I have been on the bus heading back to the Resort at Disney with the grandchildren a few years ago. When you are tired those things have a way of gnawing on your nerves.




I feel your pain. Shoes that typically feel fine to your feet suddenly don’t do well with excessive park walking in the Florida heat. Have to admit the Galactic colored Crocs with baby Yoda on them are kinda cute.



Drinks look yummy.




Wow........that antipasto looks delicious.



What a wonderful family photo.

Like the sound of your observatory. It`s funny how we sometimes forget what`s local to us. There are some good night spots here too, but they really are in the middle of nowhere. Up North, closer to the border to Scotland there are some wonderful designated Dark sites, but it`s been years since we were up there. Right now I`m convincing him Chile is not a country he wants to visit!!!

Glad your day was a good one yesterday......




What a gorgeous day is it today again! We really are enjoying a wonderful run of sunshine, and after such a wet and miserable May for the most part, this is very welcome.

Got some bits to do this morning, not much though, make a few calls and then early lunch before driving to where I get my vaccine. Tom got his at our Doctors, but I went on the National list as they were quicker doing under 55`s than Doc`s were. It`s about 40/50 minutes away. Nice drive though.

Supposed to be having a book group zoom tonight to hear what latest book and movie choice is, but will see how I feel. Last time I just got very tired the next day.

Least roads should be quieter today, it`s still half term though.

Dinner will either be barbecued food or take out.........we`ll see.

Have a wonderful Tuesday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, a good morning to Schumi. Hope your second virus shot goes fine, and at least will be a nice drive. And glad to hear weather is nice. We are still having a cool morning, with 54 degrees. Wishing your zoom meeting has good news, as to the book and movie choice.

Thank goodness that cold spell is gone, as we will be trending warmer weather, with predicted next Monday to see 90 degrees. Though today, with the cooler start, the thick cloud cover is such, was not a very bright sunrise, and still looks like early evening. But like yesterday, the warmer air has arrived, and close to 80 we will have this afternoon. Another large swing in temps as day goes on. I did turn off heater last night, and late last night little one complained house felt cold. Eh, cool maybe, but hoping to not need heater nor AC for a few days. But a few dry days this week, so happy our June is starting right, even if will not see any sun today.

Back to week day routine, but a woot, as it’s a Tuesday in which that trash trucks will be heard shortly, and first screen viewing since Friday.

Taco Tuesday homies. Mac may be doing her Taco Bell run. Yay!

And while our Governor lifted all restrictions as to indoor and outdoor gatherings, and said only those not vaccinated need to wear a mask, as of that no restrictions start yesterday, it was a crap shoot, as we stopped in the mall on our way home, and we still saw lines at store entrances, and a handful of people without masks. But all stores still had their masks wearing notices posted. And so, we were with the majority, we had our masks on, even though we are all vaccinated. And interesting if the Taco Bell’s and other fast food places will open their indoor dining rooms. As so far none seem open. Maybe will see that later this week. Little one wants to go to First Watch again for a mid morning breakfast. I said Friday seems to be that day. And with the weather predicted on Friday, that gusty thunderstorms should be later in the day, and muggy warm. Thus, even with the cool start today, shorts are back on. A throw still on my legs, but hey, tea in hand, and a quiet enough morning, after some dove cooing right around sunrise time, then a quite loud clucking from neighbor chicken as screen loading up. Then heard another neighbor leave, as he has a known noisy truck. Back to routine indeed it is.

Was so nice to be able to see my pregnant niece, and she’s hoping her third child will not interfere with our family’s Fourth of July gathering. I hope so, as even my niece from CA will be here then. And hoping my nephew and his family come, as I assume my OH living oldest sibling and wife, their parents, will be here too. My oldest niece usually flies into the airport near her parents, and then they all drive together to visit here. Good thing two of my other siblings have large enough houses, all can have a bedroom. But we are all happy to have family gatherings now.



A Terrific Taco Tuesday. And yep:



Woot!

 

[keishashadow]

Off to dentist soon to get another layer of bonding on a molar whilest waiting for that Prosdodontic evaluation appt. it’s a curse to be such an impatient person . Will deliver care packages of all the leftover holiday food stuffs to kiDs with a quick hey.

Great day to the short work week for many!

Carole - put a bug in Kyle’s ear...big island of Hawaii ...then tag along Good luck on the 2nd shot. Forget, Did Tom get a bit buggy for a day after his 2nd one?

And interesting if the Taco Bell’s and other fast food places will open their indoor dining rooms

Even more interesting when the politicians think they have the right to tell businesses how to run said businesses.

Would hate to see FL no longer a major port of call origination over politics, i’d happily volunteer Baltimore or Charleston, SC, for more sailings. Not sure they are equipped for the bigger ships

Was so nice to be able to see my pregnant niece, and she’s hoping her third child will not interfere with our family’s Fourth of July gathering

How dare she consider 4th of july lol. Baby won’t care about that memo. If anything would add some ‘fireworks’ to the celebration . Good luck to her.

 

[Lynne G]

Thanks Keisha, she is such a great kid, and I guess trying to tie with her cousin, as my nephew has 3, and so will she. We are all so happy, as her two so far, are such cute kids. Will be fun to have another great niece or nephew. Good luck at the dentist.

Time for lunch. And ooh road construction making it very noisy outside.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Glad you made it safe and sound Lori and good news your room was ready......hope lunch was good!!

German ancestry here too...on both sides. German relatives marvelled at our mastery of their language, but Scottish accents are gutterally similar to German, so it`s easy to pick up.

Look forward to hearing about your trip......




Gorgeous evening here. Glad we didn`t plan to go the beaches after all today....they were heaving and roads were tail backed in many places with no one moving. Yep, will avoid that like the plague.

I think we forget how lucky we are to live where we do as so many folks want to spend time here. But, we do appreciate it.

Tonight we went out a walk, just under 4 miles and it was hot! We were glad of the breeze coming in off the sea. Sitting outside with a cup of tea now......

Another lovely day ahead tomorrow and 2nd vaccine in the afternoon.......looking forward to getting that done.

Lunch was delish! Had a Mediterranean salad with grilled Chicken.
good luck on your shot!!!

I step away from the boards side a couple of hours and seems like a reunion going on here in the sans

playing ketchup right now to post

looks like lynne has a shark in the pool...
Our Wisconsin homie Lori is now relaxing at the pool and getting tanked.
Hope she has one for me ...
Charade is back to real life now, what a bummer for her
Cam got her shot and no longer has cooties
Monyk is lake fishing for dinner
Our newest homie emcaile27 posted and hope we did not scare her off
RF was here a bit ago and having a good day
Keisha will learn to enjoy German food.. we will start her off on the good beer

my memory is like a 100 y/o and can’t keep my homie kids
names correct
I’ll go down the list and write out everyone’s name as don’t want to leave anyone out on my Mac shout out to all

We never did make it to the grocery store today so it’s either grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner or tuna salad

Days kind of blend together when you no longer have to punch the time clock at work .
Lol

A bucket of beer later, lol! We were responsible as always
