Yay! It’s a Friday.

Well, did sorta get back to sleep, but wet sounding roads woke me up. Eh, any more rain should not be, though a cloudy and with 79 the high, predicted day.

Glad to see a win for that basketball team for ya Paris. I do not follow basketball, and other then college, no basketball win in our City for many years.

Save travels to Keisha, and hope lots of park fun for her and GD.

And hope Schumi is having a lovely time visiting her family.

Thus, even with a lazy kinda Friday for me, time to refill the tea cup. Yep, tea. Maybe I’ll make some eggs. I know little one will eat the white, if I separate the scrambling of the eggs. So guess I’ll do that, as she should be getting up soon. Older one will have no trouble reheating if he’s not up by the time I’m done cooking. He’s been working to close these last 2 days, so I can see him sleeping much later today, though he has work too, but I don’t think until lunchtime.

Homies, start that fabulous Friday feeling! It’s a Friday.

Busy Friday for me, as I need to pack a lot of provisions n stuff for the weekend! Even the dogs require a certain amount of things to be brought along...
There is a Walmart about 20 minutes away if anything of importance is forgotten, so all is never lost, lol!






Yes, the excitement is rapidly building in Milwaukee!!
The last time the Milwaukee Bucks won a championship was in 1971......50 years ago!!!!




We are hopeful that this year will be the one, fingers crossed!!



And a lovely Friday morning it is! Hope Carole is having wonderful family time....Hope Keisha and family have safe travels today....

And a safe July 4th weekend for all!

Yeah, that’s why I never worry if I forget something when I travel to the parks, Paris. There’s a Walmart right up the street from them. Have fun packing and safe travels to the lake this weekend.

morning all. Need to make a last minute run to store as my nail polish got funky???

Storm is officially a hurricane, fancy that fingers crossed it zigs out into the gulf past Tampa

Discovered i get apple tv ‘free’ for a year with the new iPad. so far was only able to find app on one of the sets. I did manage to do Disney + via some sort of simulcast off my phone before the app was added to the set’s line up in an update. I do struggle to keep up on how streaming works at times. Thank God for YouTube tutorials!

Charade - meant to ask, are u enjoying Loki? I’ve jumped in with both feet after another slow start ala wandavision. glad we made sure to scroll past the credits for Easter egg on this week’s episode. Wow

Have a super special time on your trip! Let us know if you get on VC!!
And I'm sure you'll pull off a great bday party after the trip as well!!

thanks! Will admit that DH & I just stood & watched the ride (with our mouths agap) during walk on soft openings last trip. Have decided it‘s just a bit too much for me. The mr will do anything for the ‘lil, at least once…

And they won!

Back home after a wonderful visit back home.

Had the most amazing hot weather, saw all my immediate family and some cousins and so on, friends too we managed to catch up with. I said to mac and Janet during the week it felt like speed dating at one point......we saw folks, spent some time and then moved on! But, it worked out good.

Hotel was lovely as always, managed some time on our own to go visit one of our favourite places, Loch Lomond and managed a few Spa treatments at the hotel too.

And may have managed to put on a lb or two.......

Diet starts tomorrow, as I hear Tom go through to open a bottle of wine! House is immaculately clean and guests have enjoyed their time here, they leave tomorrow and so good to see Kyle of course.

Haven`t fully caught up.......but, Lori is off to her lake house this weekend and then Boston, Vicki...always good to see you and hope Charade`s mum is doing better. Janet is all newly blonde again and off on her trip....already wished you well, but I know you`ll have a blast. We spoke of you today as the weather turned nasty half way down the country....torrential downpours reminded me of your journey recently......we left sunshine and arrived home to sunshine though. Watch out for Elsa though.......
And mac....I`m sure it`s still gloriously hot where you are.....my mum was asking after you and mentioned one of her friends from church, her granddaughter is in Atlanta for work and was baking hot when she called her grandma. Think she`s loving it though.

So tonight, bottle of wine after having a spicy Indian takeout.........discovered the Christmas movie channel is on.....seriously!!!

It is nice to be back though......even if it is raining.......⛈

 

[macraven]

How did I almost miss the Schumi sighting?

welcome back home !

 

[schumigirl]

welcome back home !

lol......Thanks mac.....it is nice to be home........

I just wrote you about the journey home that took so much longer than it should have....roadworks, downpours and truck drivers who like to block dual carriageways for sun by overtaking one another and neither can pass each other.......idiots. I think today was like a free for all for idiot drivers all round......no lane discipline and complete disregard for others.

I know I sent you and Janet a picture, but do have a few I`ll share when I get them uploaded. We didn`t take an awful lot this trip, mostly family.

 

[Lynne G]

Ha ha. Sun still has not yet set. Pizza dinner on a Friday night, why yes we did.

Welcome back Schumi. Ack, to longer travel than expected. I was out today too, and yep, aggressive drivers. Though for us, I can see why all on the roads, holiday weekend coming up. Happy to hear you enjoyed the company of family and some friends. We had some rain here, though mostly light enough rain, nothing looked wet. Raining now. Seems rain is in our forecast every day next week.

Quick good evening. Not much to report on my mom. My aunt won't return my text messages, so i I finally got my sister to contact her. All I know now is that Mom has an appointment with her cardiologist next Friday.

Charade - meant to ask, are u enjoying Loki? I’ve jumped in with both feet after another slow start ala wandavision. glad we made sure to scroll past the credits for Easter egg on this week’s episode. Wow

It's a little weird, but I like it so far. I can't wait to see where they are going with it. B left the room when the credits started. I had to text her and left her know she missed something.

Schumi - Welcome back!

 

[macraven]

No night light........

Ouches...

Ouch is never fun!!


Saturday and we have rain, thunder and lightning forecast and very humid.

Slept so well last night, and even had a lovely late sleep this morning, then popped out to get some groceries. Made it home before the rain.

Weirdly our grass at the back near the house is covered in heather which is unusual for England.......prevalent in Scotland of course.

Lazy day and maybe a nap today I think.........

Happy Saturday​

 

[Lynne G]

Oh well, no night owl here. But an early bird one. Eh, was a rainy night. Now it’s cloudy, and 70, and oddly, the high is also 70. Guess it’s going to feel like a cool day. May see me in pants today. And I can see little one with shorts and a sweatshirt. Rain chances, but those are in the evening. We had a good sounding downpour around 8 pm last night, with very noisy thunder. And with some neighbor fireworks going off later in the night.

But the air must have been clear enough now, as heard the freight train whistle as it went by the station about a mile or so down the street from me.

And it’s a Saturday. Apparently my sister stocked her kitchen, so she asked me to come and help prepare for tomorrow. She called already and asked when we are coming. I said, probably around lunchtime, you know your niece is not an early riser. I’ll wake her around 10, which means I hope to be on the road by noon. Older one has work today, but I think he will be home by dinner time. Don’t think he has to close 3 days in a row. Hopefully he will not get wet.

And so that holiday weekend is here. And a mostly quiet house is my favorite way on a Saturday morning. And this Saturday is. Oh, and tea in my cup, with a throw over my legs. It’s cool feeling in the house. But for that I’m not complaining. I sleep much better with a cooler, but not cold, feeling house. And I too had a very good night’s sleep.

So a good afternoon to a stormy having day, Schumi. Hope you are enjoying some tea, as watching the thunderstorms roll by.

Super nice Saturday homies. Have that. And get ready, that celebratory Sunday is tomorrow. Woot!

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. No plans for today except I need to color my hair. Too much gray is showing. We should probably go to the grocery store at some point too.

No plans at all for the 4th. I briefly thought about going to Busch Gardens, but decided to stay more.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

 

[macraven]

This is the south so fireworks already started last night and the night prior

more will be done tonight and the city building will have a large display on the 4th

we enjoy it as never saw it celebrated like this in the north

 

[Charade67]

Hello again. I am trying to make some lunch/dinner plans for the days I will be at Universal in October. I would like to do a couple of full service meals and would like to pin down who would like to join me. I am thinking maybe dinner on Saturday 10/2 and lunch on Sunday 10/3, but could schedule other meals for those days as well.
I am open to suggestions. I have eaten at Toothsome and Hard Rock. Both of those were okay. I have also eaten at Mythos, Antojitos, and Jakes American Bar. I liked all 3 of those. I am also open to trying something new.
Please let me know either here or via private message if you would like to join me for a meal or two or three.......

 

[macraven]

Count me in charade!
I am open for both your dates

 

[Lynne G]

Totally off topic - Has any one seen this Little Caesars commercial?

I just learned that “Darren” is Dh’s friend Matt.
