Happy Friday Dance!!!

I have never been so happy for a Friday as I am today. It's rare that I'm waiting for Friday to arrive...but finally it has arrived. Only 6.5ish hours left lol.

Didn't get out for my walk last night. I seen a job posting, so I revamped the cover letter and also did a little adjusting on the ole resume. So that took up most of my evening. Persistence is key. The HR department will keep seeing my resume and will eventually just say " we really need to just hire her already " lol. I've had a couple of written interviews ( as they are not in-person interviewing because of covid) and for the last interview...when they sent a written request for my references...her email link didn't open...so instead of asking them to resend one that would open, she just replied with what " she thought of me and what they would ask" . So I'm sure that didn't help matter much. But I know that I will land a job where I am wanting....I just have to be patient.

Another warm/hot day here, except the smoke has now moved in. Forrest fires are burning again...and they turn our skies a greyish color. It's not anything new, I just hope we don't get the smoke like we did 2 years back where it was thick and caused many breathing problems for people as well as visibility for driving/flying as well. That was a horrible year for forest fires. We need some rain now.


It was great to see you. Sounds like your settling into Florida life!!!!

Enjoy your time there!!! It looks wonderful!!!!!!!

You and me both. We are waiting on baited breath to be able to travel again. We can travel right now....it's just the hoops we need to jump through to travel. We still need to provide a negative test before entering the US...and we need to get tested again before coming back into Canada. There is no quarantine now on either side if your fully vaccinated. I am hoping that with vaccine passport that is being talked about, we won't have to produce negative covid tests. From what I understand, travel agents are busy again booking trips. We are starting to see more flights being added now as well. I hope this all continues.

Well, I really should get to shuffling some papers around and actually look like I'm working.

Have a great SANS family!!!!!!

Good luck with the job search pumpkin......hope you find something you really want to do......and forest fires sound so scary, hope they don`t come to much.

Have a great weekend.......

Good evening. Long day today. We got home from the movie last night just before midnight. Then the insomnia hit. I think I maybe got a couple of hours sleep off and on. I had to be at work today at 9:00. We had 4 hours of phone training and I'm still a little concerned about going live on Monday. This new system is a lot more complicated than the old one. After training one of the therapists who just left our office took us out to lunch. I got home around 2:00 and took a 3 hour nap.

Good to see you Kfish. I wanted to take B to Legoland when she was younger, but we never did.

I don't mind watching some movies at home, but for others I like the theater experience. I know you don't care for the Avengers movies, but when we saw Endgame it was really cool having a packed theater cheering together at certain scenes.
I used to get stuck in front of the seat kickers. Thankfully our theaters finally joined the current century and started offering reserved seating. Now I chose seats where there is no one behind me.

Get well wished for Liv. Hope the issue clears up quickly.

I want to go back and see it at night. When we were there in May the park closed before the sun went down.

We all enjoyed it. It was nice learning more about Natasha. Have you watched Falcon and the Winter Soldier? If so, the end cut scene will make more sense.


Good lunch with the job search.

I think I will have a quiet rest of the evening. Tomorrow B gets her second Covid shot and then we are going to go to Hallmark and pick up a couple of the new ornaments that are being released tomorrow.

I know what you mean about atmosphere, but not for me.....we just get a crowd round to watch a movie and warn them not to do anything annoying or we`ll sling them out too lol....we`re really quite sociable.....honest!

I forgot, we actually went to see the new Halloween movie when it came out.....went during the day, booked seats at the back row and there were four other people in the cinema.....worked out great!

Hope your daughter is ok today after getting her vaccination. I saw someone talk about the Hallmark ornaments.....some of them are lovely.





Went out very early this morning for a family walk with another family we`re very friendly with......we did 10 miles again......after me saying I only wanted to do about 5 this time. But Kyle and Clara kept walking ahead on the beach, she is very athletic so 10 miles is nothing to her and Kyle could walk for miles too.......we kind of just followed on. It was lovely with dogs along too.

But, beautiful morning, misty but very warm so it was fabulous.

Stopped in at our usual cafe on the beach beside the car park and had bacon sandwiches around 11am on the way back, they were very welcome. And a gallon of water.

Lunch wasn`t needed, so got on with laundry, all out on the line drying now as it`s gorgeous now. Vacuumed the carpets we have and washed all the floors, cleaned two of our bathrooms and thought that`ll do for today.

Doing spicy chicken stir fry for dinner tonight, just the two of us but I like fresh ginger through mine, so will do Tom chicken with the spicy plum/teriyaki sauce and all his choice of stuff to go in it, then do mine with pineapple and lots and lots of sliced ginger.....lush!

Just back in from another walk into the village as we needed lemons...need to let my tootsies recover now......

Have a wonderful Saturday and weekend ​

 

[Robo56]

Good Saturday morning Sans family

m so happy the wedding was such a success.....of course it was going to be though as you had some wonderful plans, glad it all worked out for them. It does sound like you had the perfect day for them.

Thank you Carole it was a beautiful wedding they are the sweetest coupe.

Oh I told our guests they can come back anytime.....their home won`t be completely remodelled till Christmas, so anytime they need a break from the inlaws, they are most welcome.

I bet they were very spoiled and taken care of at your house.

Hope you have a lovely weekend Robbie..

Thank you. Hope your weekend was lovely too.

I hope everyone has a safe and nice weekend. We will be staying home and cookout tomorrow. I got my second shot and having a lot of problems so hope in a few days will feel better.
I lost one of my young kitties unexpectedly the week before so been down about that.

I hope you start to feel better Bobbi. So sorry to hear you lost one of your cats.

Happy 'Merica's Birthday y'all. (Well...'cept Shumi...Sorry about the Tea... and all that.)

Hey, buckeev hope you and the family are well and plotting some vacation fun.

Glad everything went well. Best wishes to the new couple.

Thanks Charade. Hope your mom is doing better. Sounds like you have your vacation planned out to Universal.

lovely to hear the wedding was so special. Lots of weddings here much reduced in size etc. Nice to see the eggs. Kev was beginning to clear an area for us to place a new shed and commented on the busy Robins around. He stepped away to watch and then found a nest really low down with four fledglings. He placed some extra branches around to protect them as they are quite close to flying and no work in that area now for a couple of weeks!

Thanks you. The wedding was so nice and lots of fun for all.

We do like watching the birds from our kitchen window. I was so surprised to find the Cardinals nest in my hanging planter.

Oh, you just have to dance a bit at a loved ones wedding

For sure.

Just a few pics so far...

Love pictures. What a beautiful gymnastic jump in front of the castle.

Hope you had a wonderful 4th Robo!
And cannot wait to see those wedding photos!! Glad to hear the day was filled with fun and love!!!!!!

We did have a nice 4th. Sounds like you had a nice one too.

Granddaughter will be back for her honeymoon tomorrow. Will ask before I post any pics. It was a wonderful wedding thank you.

We had a terrific weekend at the lake! The weather was gorgeous! It was a very needed recharge for DH. I could barely keep my eyes open at 9pm last night. All the activity and fresh air made me so tired. I slept better last night than in years.....felt incredible!!!

Glad to hear your lake house weekend was a blast and there’s nothing like a good nights sleep.

I think I`m overly paranoid with fireworks as Explosives was the industry I was in and one of my degrees is in Explosive Ordnance. Most people don`t realise the harm a small amount of explosive will do to them in the wrong hands. I don`t mind an organised display, but very rarely go to them as I don`t know the abilities of those running them. Yes, I`m the party pooper

It has been a little better around here past few days with all the fireworks. There were still a few fireworks being set off last night. I think the fireworks are getting bigger from the sounds of it. You are right. I don’t think folks take into consideration the possible injuries that can result from handling what are essentially dangerous explosives.

I am so glad it was a wonderful wedding!!! It sounds like it was amazing! That picture idea sounds like it will be a wonderful reminder of their special day! Things like that are alwasy treasured.

Thank you Pumpkin it was a special day. The way it was set up everyone who took pictures on their phone were able to download them to the printer and then hang them with the tiny plastic clips to the special picture stands. I hope the photographer got a picture of them. Some people took some very nice photos.

And ooh, so glad I booked HRH next month when I did. Last time I looked, the AP rate was 150 dollars a night higher. Guess many of us took that decent AP rate when I saw it weeks ago. And even my SF rate for Fall has gone higher too. Pays to book early, cancel and book again if see a better rate.

Yep, grabbing those AP rates early was a good plan. I haven’t seen anything like it in years on the fluctuating prices at the Resorts for sure.
I fear us regulars might be dealing with wall to wall people this year for HHN.

Everyone wants to travel and have a good time. Can’t blame them.

The kababs turned out great! I was fairly proud of my grilling skills...
DH said we need to have these again soon!

Looks yummy.

Aww, new great niece born today. An over 8 pound kid. Niece and baby are doing good. My niece will have the house full, with now three kids under 5. Sweet named after my mom and her sister, both whom are no longer with us.

Congratulations Lynne to the new addition to the family. Babies are a blessing.

Evening! Just a quick hello! I always feel guilty just popping on and leaving for weeks or months at a time. It is not intentional! Just hard to find time to catch up and log on.

Nice to see you kstar. Sounds like all your littles are getting bigger and thriving. Good to hear from you.

Check out the PBR boat line at 9 pm. Surprised it it move as fast as it did, yea!

Wow.....that looks busy. The happy honeymooners are actually at Portofino now too.

And so, have a coffee with me.

I’am having my morning coffee too Lynne.

Mac hope things are looking up for you.


Well it’s Saturday morning and a bit gloomy out today. We had a rockin thunderstorm roll through about 2 this morning. It brought lots of rain and lightening. We needed the rain.

Vacation with grandson is 6 days away. He is excited for his vacation and so am I. I have made a few reservations at his favorite restaurants. Did not want to chance not getting in if it’s going to be busy.

Going to go and walk the Mall today as it’s to wet to do anything outside. Then maybe catchup with some paperwork in the office.


Have a great Saturday everyone.

Morning Carole

Looks like you were writing your post about the same time I was.

But Kyle and Clara kept walking ahead on the beach, she is very athletic so 10 miles is nothing to her and Kyle could walk for miles too.......we kind of just followed on. It was lovely with dogs along too.

Sounds like a lovely start to the day. A walk on the beach with family and friends.

 

[Lynne G]

Enjoy your walk and hope you enjoyed your coffee Robo. Yeah, with no HHN last year, and many now vaccinated, Fall will be busy. And even though not a fan of crowds, it is good as that means more open. And yep, we made food reservations for next month. Lunch and any breakfast, we can try on the fly. Dinner, we at least want one meal in a sit down restaurant. And by dinner time, usually is the time to relax with a meal, rather than mid day. Good thing is, I assume we may be able to shift places or times, or we may just cancel if we don’t feel like eating there. Even nicer, we will have a car. Will stop at the px or Target on our way in. As easy to buy snacks and drinks for our room, rather than packing it.

And so, full bellies, with iced coffee bought for older one. He will eat our doggie bag leftovers from our breakfast.

Schumi, quite the walk you did. Nice to get out when the weather is good.

Bright sunrise, that now is cloudy. Not as humid, so that’s a good thing. A perfect day, as 76 out now, with the high 82 degrees. Ah, a nice, no rain day.

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. I’m at the Kroger pharmacy right now. B just got her second shot and we are waiting the suggested 15 minutes before leaving.

Had District Taco for dinner last night. Eh, it’s a one and done.

Sorry to hear it was a disappointment. I like trying new restaurants, but hate it when they don’t live up to expectations.

Hope your daughter is ok today after getting her vaccination. I saw someone talk about the Hallmark ornaments.....some of them are lovely.

So far, so good. I am specifically interested in the new Captain America ornament. There will be a new Doctor Who - 4th Doctor ornament this year, but it won’t be released until October.

Vacation with grandson is 6 days away. He is excited for his vacation and so am I. I have made a few reservations at his favorite restaurants. Did not want to chance not getting in if it’s going to be busy.

Have a great trip. You are wise to make reservations. I have already made some for my October trip.

A few more minutes then time should be up. Next is the Hallmark store.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, shot for B. Hope she is okay, Charade. And nice to be shopping too. Yeah, it’s not fun when a meal out is a miss. But that’s okay in the grand scheme, as we know now which we’ll be back for, and which we will give a pass to. We are fond of Mexican type food, but several of those type of restaurants are a no from us, so DT is just the latest. We tend to go back to one, as their style is one we enjoy most of the time. And Taco Bell too sometimes, though you can say that TB is sorta Mexican inspired. But we do enjoy their food once in awhile.

And so, full enough from breakfast, lunch will just be noshing. Maybe a sweet in there too. Cool enough inside, time for tea. Had enough coffee at breakfast, that is enough for the day. Off to make some tea, and see what sweet we have. Did pick up some the other day, so will have to see who got into what.

Later homies. Hope you are enjoying this perfect and peaceful weekend so far.

 

[Charade67]

New ornament

 

[Realfoodfans]

Good news on the vaccination for B Charade. Hope she stays well.

Our Robins have fledged Robo so just some sparrows still here.

Congratulations on the new baby in your family Lynne. Sounds like she will have her hands full.

Our new baby has terrible colic. He’s 6 weeks today so they are hoping as he grows it will improve. We have been going over to walk their dog when DS is at work and today all walked to the new cake shop opened by the young chef. It is about a mile from their new home and just two little tables outside and we enjoyed iced coffees (fruit tea for me) and cakes. X slept all the way there and back. I enjoyed pushing the pram and such a lovely sunny day.

Tomorrow I’m going over to see my Mum’s dear friend and near neighbours as sadly her husband passed away suddenly at home on Thursday. Her son and I went right through school together and he also lives over our way in a nearby village. He rang me to ask for advice as of course we’ve been through this four times in the last few years. Did you have parental friends that you called Auntie and Uncle? Lovely gentle lady she will be lost without him.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the weekend.

Nice ornament.......and again, hope your daughter does ok today. Hope your mum did ok after yesterday.....




13 miles is our new record for walking in one day over here.......so, tootsies were soaked in a salt for a while and think they`re back to normal now.......will head back out in the morning for another walk as the weather is to be very nice again.......

Enjoyed our stir fry tonight, spicy!!

Now trying to decide what to watch tonight......we were invited to a BBQ at a friends house, but decided to stay home.....tv is appealing tonight......

Hope Keisha has a safe journey home........

 

[Charade67]

Looks like we are staying in for the rest of the night. We are under a severe thunderstorm warning.

I tried calling my mom this afternoon, but nobody answered. Hopefully she will call back sometime tonight.

The wind is really picking up. Hope the storm isn't too bad.

 

[Lynne G]

Stay safe Charade.

Hope your storm wasn`t too bad Charade.......and hope you hear from your mum today.



Quick stop by this morning....sun is blistering and has been for a couple of hours, and we`re heading out a walk early again.......must be crazy to do it again today, but want to get out before it gets too hot as there is no shade at all along the promenade and beach areas. We won`t be walking on the sand today but will follow a path along the main part of the beaches.

It`ll be lovely hopefully.

Planning to grill out tonight again for dinner.....we have steaks and maple syrup and peppered pork kebabs to cook and maybe the odd something else. Will make the sides later today, might grill out for lunch too, will rumble through and see what we have.

Ad one of our ladies sons has a birthday today....... to Keisha`s first born baby boy........hope he has a lovely birthday and enjoys the party........

And

​

Janet.......you have a busy day ahead.......hope it`s marvellous and can`t wait to hear about the trip you had.......

Have a wonderful Sunday



​

 

[Lynne G]

Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday too Schumi. And hope you enjoyed your walk, with the heat you are having. We’re almost hot, as the humidity and temperatures are going to climb into the 90’s this week, heat wave feel like temps in the three digits.

But today, will be warm, 86 the high, with increasing humidity, some sun, but cloudy, with rain chances to be in the late evening and in the overnight.

And, as a Sunday, it’s our get the trash out and ready for week day routine. Older one gets to dog watch this week. Think he’s looking forward to it.

Thus, a very happy birthday to Keisha’s DS. And safe travels home today too.

Charade, hope the storms did no damage, and you hear from your mom today.

Ah, still morning for me, and glad it is a lazy one for me. Sister said to give her a call today, so I can see us stopping by her place sometime today. Other than that, some grocery shopping, and seeing if any returns are needed. So, sounds like a great Sunday for me. And yes, it already included tea. Ahhh. Quiet house, remote and eh kind of shows. Sweet.

Serene Sunday homies. And yay, a birthday and traveling one, a one for a having had a nice walk in the heat, and hoping one that will have Charade having a talk with mom and nicer, drier weather.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Did have another pink gin and had a lovely chat with one of my goddaughter`s and decided to go up and visit them as they`ve now moved to just outside Manchester on Sunday and finally meet that beautiful baby girl she had earlier in the year......I have a stack of gifts to take with us and cannot wait now to finally see her in person. My goddaughter and her husband too of course.

Hope you had some sweet baby snuggles!!

Just watching some RixFlix and All Ears on Youtube while shredding. It is really making me want to book a trip now lol. I would love to take the 3 kiddos (son-in-law has always volunteered to never go into a park, so he would stay home with the grandbaby this time ) because once Gramps does a trip there and sees how awesome Orlando is....he will want to take her there. He whips out that cc for that little girl pretty fast these days lol. I would love to have one - just us with grown children - vacation like this. Especially since we could never afford it when they were younger.

Is it 4:30 yet? lol

Hope you are able to take that trip! I like watching RixFlix too!

YES!!!!

Evening! Just a quick hello! I always feel guilty just popping on and leaving for weeks or months at a time. It is not intentional! Just hard to find time to catch up and log on.

Quick recent recap...
Just came back from Orlando on Monday. Visited Legoland for three nights and it was GREAT! We really loved the accommodations, the breakfast and the park. There was something for everyone! So of course, we upgraded to season passes! Already booked our trip for the holidays!

Chris is now 8, Lucas is 5 and going into Kindergarten in Sept., Charlie is 3 and in the process of potty training so he will be ready for nursery school in Sept., and Hope will turn 2 on the 17th. Definitely having some mommy blues as they are getting older...so pathetic considering my youngest is not even 2 yet!

Well I wish I could stay, but I am having a yard sale this weekend to get rid of some stuff from my house, my parents' house and my sister's house and have to start organizing.

We currently have a tropical storm warning. We are not really concerned...let's face it, it's not Superstorm Sandy, but we have to watch the tides and wind since we are so close to the shore. Stay safe everyone!

Sounds like a great trip! Do they decorate the park for the holidays?

And we decided to postpone the book group till after the 19th and have a real live get together instead of Zoom! So, excited about that. Only two are wary of a large get together just yet, but I said if we can, we can sit out if that makes them more comfortable, weather permitting of course.

Happy Friday ​

Awesome you'll be able to have your book group in person!!

J'aimeparis You will enjoy Boston very much. I have been there many times over the years. We had only lived 2 and a half hours away. If you have anything specific you are interested in you can always PM me and I would be happy to give you suggestions. It sounds like DD was going to have a nice time tonight. I have been to a taligating party before hand, it's a fun way to get excited for the game. I hope it all went well. I understand about kids and being into something Liv has high function autism.

Thank you for your offer....I may PM you soon!

Hi all. Hope all are swell

Even tho not thru gates till 8:10 am family now just with 30 min wait at B coaster

we decided to stare at bell services in person @ 10 pm last night. They caved lol had it shortly thereafter. Just another post covid shirt staffing thang

Hope the VC ride was awesome!!

Posted a couple of pictures of our trip to Scotland......I know some of you ladies have seen some of them, but a couple of different ones posted there. They`re over on what is now, the longest running pre trip report ever.......

Oh Carole......you'll get back one day....hopefully soon!!!!

Happy Friday Dance!!!

Didn't get out for my walk last night. I seen a job posting, so I revamped the cover letter and also did a little adjusting on the ole resume. So that took up most of my evening. Persistence is key. The HR department will keep seeing my resume and will eventually just say " we really need to just hire her already " lol. I've had a couple of written interviews ( as they are not in-person interviewing because of covid) and for the last interview...when they sent a written request for my references...her email link didn't open...so instead of asking them to resend one that would open, she just replied with what " she thought of me and what they would ask" . So I'm sure that didn't help matter much. But I know that I will land a job where I am wanting....I just have to be patient.

All good luck vibes! You'll get the right job for you!

We all enjoyed it. It was nice learning more about Natasha. Have you watched Falcon and the Winter Soldier? If so, the end cut scene will make more sense.

I think I will have a quiet rest of the evening. Tomorrow B gets her second Covid shot and then we are going to go to Hallmark and pick up a couple of the new ornaments that are being released tomorrow.

Nice to hear the movie was good! Good luck to B with her shot !!

Ack, everyone must be busy.


Little one and I are enjoying some First Watch breakfast. Yum.

Had District Taco for dinner last night. Eh, it’s a one and done. Food was not good, and overcooked. Bone found in my chicken too, which um, no, as should have been none. And so, we should have known, as was not busy around 7:30 on a Friday night. But at least it was a new restaurant to our area, and we had to at least try it. Smashburger is also almost ready to open near us. We will give it a try. First watch on the other hand, we have never seen not busy. And never had a bad meal.

And so, have a coffee with me.

Have a super happy Saturday. Lazy day? All Saturdays should be. Well, older one works today. Oh well, if ever a day of rest, tomorrow is

Sorry to hear your taco dinner was a bust!

Coffee for me too right now!

Went out very early this morning for a family walk with another family we`re very friendly with......we did 10 miles again......after me saying I only wanted to do about 5 this time.

Some of the group tailgating at the game! DD and me



Bratchos...nachos with crumbled brats! The sausage run....I missed their front sides, lol!




The game was a lot of fun, and the Brewers won!!!!
(The Bucks lost that night, so that stunk....)



We had a grad party yesterday. It was great seeing so many people we haven't seen in so long!!
Many hours of laughter!!


Today is looking to be a lazy day....to windy for boating, so we will not head to the lake.
Think I'll take the dogs to a park or trails for a long walk.

Have a wonderful Sunday!!

Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday too Schumi. And hope you enjoyed your walk, with the heat you are having. We’re almost hot, as the humidity and temperatures are going to climb into the 90’s this week, heat wave feel like temps in the three digits.

But today, will be warm, 86 the high, with increasing humidity, some sun, but cloudy, with rain chances to be in the late evening and in the overnight.

And, as a Sunday, it’s our get the trash out and ready for week day routine. Older one gets to dog watch this week. Think he’s looking forward to it.

Thus, a very happy birthday to Keisha’s DS. And safe travels home today too.

Charade, hope the storms did no damage, and you hear from your mom today.

Ah, still morning for me, and glad it is a lazy one for me. Sister said to give her a call today, so I can see us stopping by her place sometime today. Other than that, some grocery shopping, and seeing if any returns are needed. So, sounds like a great Sunday for me. And yes, it already included tea. Ahhh. Quiet house, remote and eh kind of shows. Sweet.

Serene Sunday homies. And yay, a birthday and traveling one, a one for a having had a nice walk in the heat, and hoping one that will have Charade having a talk with mom and nicer, drier weather.

Did have a wonderful day, just not as planned.......it happens sometimes.

Glad you have had a lovely day with good weather......

Hope you had some sweet baby snuggles!!

The game was a lot of fun, and the Brewers won!!!!
(The Bucks lost that night, so that stunk....)



We had a grad party yesterday. It was great seeing so many people we haven't seen in so long!!
Many hours of laughter!!

Change of plan for visiting Goddaughter......baby wasn`t too well last night, not covid related in any way thankfully, so we said we`d put it off till she was better....cannot wait to snuggle that little one!!

I think I might be the only person on the planet to not watch any vloggers or influencers in any way......am I missing something??

Party looked a lot of fun Lori.......and some lovely pictures, the one of you and DD is lovely, but you`re both so photogenic anyway......sounds like a nice day ahead walking the dogs.......





Yes, our plans changed last night, so we made plans with the same friends for another walk, and boy are my feet annoyed with me tonight.........8 miles and it was so much fun. Weather was gorgeous, I think I`m catching the sun a little too......

Then went back to spend the day with the same friends.......they have horses they train, so we enjoyed watching them most of the day. I`m a little wary of horses, but they are so tame and gentle, managed to feed them some little treats too.

Had some lovely food too, so no cooking for us tonight as we had bbq food and snacks throughout the day.......cooled down a little now which is pleasant.

Plan a Harry Potter movie night tonight......through in the large screen room and the surround sound with that system is just too loud as I`m always saying turn it down........party pooper again!

Just called my Goddaughter and she said little one is slightly better, least her temperature is down now. Will reaarange that visit first chance we get.

Hope your Sunday is a good one..........

Pool time! It was wonderful, though had to have heater going on to warm it up a bit. Lovely weather so far.

It has been a very long day for me....
My sister from another mother has been patiently helping me today to get back in the disboards.

After my last post early afternoon today (1:00 ish), I got disconnected from the Dis today

Felt like a fish swimming up stream
Lol

Will spend catching up on what I have missed

Hope all the homies are doing fine!

Lori, we spent a lot of time at that park when that Brewers were in town

I always enjoyed the race they did at the park
My money was on the sausage ...

lol.....if the tag fairy was still around your last line there would have been a tag for sure.......





My goodness, my tootsies ache this morning! Slept like a baby last night and it helped it was a bit cooler. Not sure if we`ll be walking this morning, but due to weather nothing else. Looks like it`s supposed to rain, but dry so far.

Another week ahead of hopefully some nicer weather too.

Haven`t given much of a thought to this week, no real plans except to walk when we can and hopefully meet some friends for lunch at some point and try to get back into a normal routine again.

Blueberry muffins and fruit for breakfast today, as far as I`ve thought so far.

Happy Monday........​

Good Morning Schumi. Guess with that long walk yesterday, feet would be a bit sore this morning. We too may see rain. Glad you are getting back to a more routine week. Muffin for breakfast sounds good. We picked up bagels yesterday, so that toasted with cream cheese was mine. With tea, of course. Hope with your chance of rainy, had some tea this morning as I am doing.


Weather advisory of extreme stormy weather issued for the next 24 hours. Stormy we will be by the afternoon. But we are very warm, as 90 the high, and a sticky feeling 76 degrees already. Eh, a Summer day in July it is. And a back to routine one it is, and after any weekend, yeah, that Monday feeling day. Sigh.

Was a nice dip in the pool yesterday, sister doing well. Kitchen now fully stocked. Since it was just little one and I last night, pasta dinner was had. It was good tasting, and only a small amount left over. If DH does not get into it for lunch, I’ll probably have it for lunch. Don’t mind leftovers of pasta.

And so, glad to see Mac back on the Dis.

A Marvelous Monday for you, is a wish for all the homies.
