Night light....Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrat to your team!!!

Hope no headache this morning.......

Lynne our Taco Bell’s reopened many months ago
We prefer to eat the fod inside the restaurant

food is hot and soda dispenser is full
Not very crowded inside the Taco Bell stores

we prefer to eat Taco Bell when the food is hot

I remember you writing your TB had reopened.........Tom has always wanted to try it, just to say he has, but not food I like at all......wish I did though.






And another hot and sunny ahead for us......it was supposed to be dull and cloudy this morning, but the sun is already fully up and it is bright. Guess it`ll be sunscreen and another early walk. Will txt our friends at a more reasonable time to say we`ll leave early.

And again, if it`s as hot as yesterday, won`t be doing much at all after our walk. Might go out for a light lunch and that`s about it.

Got our book group organised yesterday, so that`s something sorted.

Looking at booking something for September now, still waiting on these flights beig cancelled, but as soon as they are I`ll press the button on some nights away in Scotland. We did think of going back to the Cotswolds, but most places we would stay are already booked up. It`ll be lovely to see everyone again and we have a wedding to attend too.

BBQ will be used again tonight, not sure what we`ll have yet, haven`t looked at what`s there and what we need....hopefully we can avoid any shopping.

Croissants and fruit again this morning, most fruit are delicious right now.

Have a wonderful Wednesday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah a wonderful Wednesday to you too Schumi. Hot here as well, though with some good chances thunderstorms later today. Though our air quality is unhealthy with the smokey humidity in our air. But at least was a beautiful sunrise and bright enough out now.

And ah yes,


Why hello camel. Ah yes, time of year to see the clouds coming. And are they those cute puffy white ones or those stormy darker clouds that yep, rain bearing one? Those rain carrying ones are dark, almost black looking clouds. And so, as camel decided to be a puffy white cloud. Yay, He’s hoping the clouds that come in our afternoon are not rainy ones. And he wishes all the homies this Wednesday a sunny one, and says get over this hump of a day, and woot! A Friday will be here with two more sleeps. Woot! Woot!

And so, I too wish all have that wonderful Wednesday. Enjoy this mid week day.

Lastly, agree Mac, Taco Bell food needs to be eaten hot. For now, we just have to eat it in our car.

Ah yes, AC has been working and nice and cool inside. It’s hazy, but it’s muggy, so even though 72 out already, good reason to be inside where it’s good air quality and not humid either. So not too bad a day, as 84 is the high. And tea is happily being sipped. Hot tea. Yay, and good morning homies.

 

[Lynne G]

Ugh, SW changed both our arriving flights in September from early morning ones to afternoon ones. And little one’s flight got changed to a one stop early morning from a direct. I promptly changed to to a much later direct that arrives almost the same time as the one stop. She does not need to sit in Atlanta’s airport for hours to get another flight to Orlando. At least mine stayed a direct. Sigh. Annoying as all. Rant over.

Night light....Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m a Laker fan and have been since Kobe came to town, I must say the Bucks are really really impressive, and so cool for you and Milwaukee!!!

Well deserved!!!

Enjoy the bragging rights of being NBA CHAMPIONS!!!!!

Glad you got her a direct flight Lynne. Yes, no need for her to sit in an airport for no good reason. Hope that`s the last change for you.




Did our 10 miles this morning.....and yes, tootsies are doing ok. It looked dull and cloudy, but my goodness it was humid and very sticky. But, lovely walk with 2 friends who don`t usually walk further than themselves, they did well. Half expected her to turn up in high heels as she always wears them, everywhere. But, she managed some flats for a change.

Had some sandwiches for lunch in one of the beach cafe`s then not much else planned for the rest of the day.

BBQ will be used for dinner tonight again, made some chipotle coleslaw as one fo the sides, but think it may be too spicy for the other two, fine for Tom and I. We`ll see, tastes good to me.

Lori, it might not be for you either......it is spicy!

Have a few phone calls to make today. Some people are still requesting them even though lockdown is officially over, so many lonely people out there. Shocking some don`t even have any friends either.

Time to move again.......

 

[J'aime Paris]

We were watching the previous game on Saturday night when we were out for supper with the kids...and the place was buzzing and cheering for the Bucks. I sure hope they pull off this win!!!!!

I hope the smoke clears soon!!! It's a normal part of our summer is to have Canada burning BC and Ontario are reporting lots of fires right now. Both regions typically do have many large fires. Hopefully they stay away from the cities and rural areas.

The smoke is much improved already today.
And the Bucks pulled out a W!!!

Good to see you Pumpkin.......and yes, some folks need to learn how to speak to others in many circumstances. I know some customers seem to forget they`re delaing with humans when speaking to people who are trying to help them. People skills are missing at times.

Oh goodness, I hear you on the dentists of the 70`s....the first dentist I had at school was known as the butcher. Yes, not much choice around where I grew up back then. I blame him for me having such terrible teeth. My dentist now I`ve had for a long time, we travel all the way back to where we used to live to see him, but now he is selling his practice as he is 55 and want to take it easy.....gutted.

Hope you get back to walking soon.....





Worfiedoodles is a star!! She is lovely and yes, would be happy to help you.

Enjoy that game tonight.....sounds like a huge amount of fun and hope your team win....

I`m not lynne, but the chillies we grow we use in cooking mostly, sometimes chop a tiny amount through salads....we like them spicy too. We had one fail, but trying the carolina reaper again. We also have regular birds eye chillies on a plant....even they are fairly hot.

Have fun tonight and hope that smoke clears for you......





It`s slightly cooler tonight, won`t need the aircon unit to help sleep for sure.

Dinner was lush!! And very filling, certainly no room for dessert tonight, I had made some ice cream but it`ll keep till next time.

Yes, it's so incredible how willing people on theses boards are about helping others. It's so appreciated!!
If anyone ever ventures to Milwaukee, I'd gladly offer my assistance.

And yes, the Bucks did it!!

Yes, we tend to use them to spice up a meal. He did tell me the kind, Paris, but I forgot. Next time I talk with him, will ask him.

Yeah, and part of our haze this morning was smoke from the West. Yep, us too have air quality warnings. Global we are.

Yay, being legally blond as hair pamper time.

I would think spicing up a meal would be the most enjoyable. I've seen people dripping with sweat when eating a hot pepper by itself....how is that tasty??

Congrat to your team!!!

Hope no headache this morning.......

Have a wonderful Wednesday ​

Yes, we won!! And everyone is elated! There will be a huge parade and celebration in a few days.

No headache....I only had 2 glasses of wine. I was so into the game, I kept forgetting about my glass, lol!

Fingers crossed you'll have a great trip planned for September!

Our nearest Taco Bell shares the building with a Pizza Hut. Those two food smells do not mix well together, so it really stinks in that restaurant. Not sure why they do that? I've also seen a TB with a Long John
Silver. Such a turn off. I'll only go to a TB that is not sharing with another chain.

Southwest!!!! I love them and hate them.....
They pulled the time change on me for my last 2 trips.

Well deserved!!!

Enjoy the bragging rights of being NBA CHAMPIONS!!!!!

Thanks!! It's our first title in 50 years....so we are really pumped!

10 miles, holy smokes Carole! Bravo!

On a spice scale from 1-10, I am comfortable at a 3. I'm guessing your coleslaw is at a high spice level than that, lol!

No scientific reasoning or proof....I think my lack of tolerance of spiciness comes from my genes. I'm mostly germanic. And German food isn't exactly known to have high spice levels. Plus, I was raised on meat and potato type meals. Again, bland. This may be complete bull, but I'm sticking to it...haha!!







Slept in later than normal this morning. Went to bed late and was pumped full of adrenaline, so I had difficulty falling asleep.

It was such a great game!!!!!!

The whole series with the Suns was incredible, and either team could have been the victor. (But I'm happy we were able to be the ones to do it)


Making ribs for supper tonight, with a side of smashed potatoes. We haven't had ribs in ages, so I'm looking forward it. I will put them in the crock pot soon and slow cook them all day. Yum!

A most glorious hump day it is!!

I have had a chilli pepper like that before where it was just hot! But, I much prefer them for added spice and flavour. Yes, I think the coleslaw is maybe an 8/10, it was supposed to be less.....but, well.....you know!

Funny, I was talking about this with mac the other day, Tom and I are both off of German ancestry, both of us had one set of GP from Germany. But, we both love spicy hot food, and food with plenty of flavour. Cannot take bland generic food.

Yes, happy with the walking! Legs only complain now and again.......lol....

Glad you had such a lovely night and fabulous when your local team wins...glad you finally slept though, it is hard after such an exciting night.

Dinner sounds good.....love ribs!! Haven`t made them for ages......enjoy!!!




The two people I was supposed to call are out......lol.....they`re not housebound anymore so I`m glad they can get out a little now.

Shouldn`t be this hungry before 4pm.......think I have some olives somewhere......

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh dinner at Paris’s. Ribs and taters? Yum! And yay, b ball team winning. I’m sure the town is celebrating. How nice to have everyone happy.

Oh I hear ya Schumi, I’m ready for lunch and that’s still not for another hour. Did not post my much shorter walks to be competitive, sorry if it sounded that way. But today, I will be lunchtime walking about 2 or so miles. May do more like just about 2, as heard we have unhealthy air quality today.

Ah yes, from a family that did only plain meat and potatoes too. But I enjoy some heat in my meals, and my family does not mind if it is spicy.

But I’m the only one in my family that is a tea drinker, and that’s fine with me. My mom also enjoyed tea, so I guess that’s why I do.

 

[Lynne G]

We had hail and lost power! What a storm we had.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone.

Some places will reach over 100F due to the "Bermuda Blowtorch" reaching us......

Yikes! It rarely gets that hot here, but we do often have temps in the 90s.

And yes, even though I’m in the Northeast, it’s still nice to have both an AC and a heater.

When I moved to Miami my father tried to convince me that most homes didn't have central heat. We actually had some days of cold weather when we lived there.

One week away from adventures in Boston!! We have a nice dinner reserved, plans to visit Harvard, and a ghost and graveyards tour booked. We might also visit the Aquarium....but it eats up a lot of time, so not completely sure on that. Our hotel is centrally located to everything, and on the Freedom Trail. We will walk around the city a great deal, and see what we come across!

Soundls like a wonderful trip. I hope to see pictures.

It is lots of work, but it is worth it in the end, once you see the results of it all. I can't wait to see some before and after pictures!

I should be able to start tomorrow. We are having the ceiling fan and foyer light replaced.

Worked a shift at HomeSense last night. I always get my steps in while working a shift lol. Only one of "those customers" who you hate to deal with. Thank goodness, I was in a different part of the store and not called to the front. I always seem to get called up...even though I'm not a manager and can't do anything . Guess it's my years of customer service that keep coming out to hopefully talk people off the ledge lol.

I do not miss working retail customer service.

It was 40ish years ago...and things were very different then. The expectations placed on children to just suck it up from unsympathetic dentists where there was no thought or sensitivity to children's needs or fears created it. I was weirdly blessed with two sets of some of my adult teeth. Needless to say, my mouth was a mess. Luckily I was blessed also with very strong teeth. Hopefully one day, I can overcome my fear. Not many things give me anxiety...but THAT does!!!!

Oh goodness, I hear you on the dentists of the 70`s....the first dentist I had at school was known as the butcher. Yes, not much choice around where I grew up back then. I blame him for me having such terrible teeth. My dentist now I`ve had for a long time, we travel all the way back to where we used to live to see him, but now he is selling his practice as he is 55 and want to take it easy.....gutted.

I guess I have been very fortunate. I have always had good dentists, even when I was a child. I can only remember one dentist that I refused to go back to. She had no personality or bedside manner.

Night light....Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats! I know you are thrilled.

Ugh, SW changed both our arriving flights in September from early morning ones to afternoon ones. And little one’s flight got changed to a one stop early morning from a direct. I promptly changed to to a much later direct that arrives almost the same time as the one stop. She does not need to sit in Atlanta’s airport for hours to get another flight to Orlando. At least mine stayed a direct. Sigh. Annoying as all. Rant over.

Sorry you are having flight issues. We live in a small town, so there is no such thing as a direct flight to Orlando. I think the only place I can go direct is Charlotte, NC.

Did our 10 miles this morning...

Wow! I am very impressed.

We had hail and lost power! What a storm we had.

Wow. Hope it didn't stay off too long.


We got our flooring quote today. The painter should be by on Friday with a contract. Poor guy doesn't know how to attach a document to an email, so he is delivering it in person. Now if we could just get some estimates on the constructions projects we need done.

Thinking Chinese for supper tonight.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! Power came on as was doing my morning refreshing by phone flashlight. And thankful as I heard my AC go on a few minutes later. Yay, house no longer feels humid nor too warm. And no need to reset modem either. That was nice. Now just have to reset clocks. But I will say, as we drove around last night to get food and recharge phones, it was nice to see the clear night sky without all the outdoor lighting making it not so dark out. And ooh was such a big enough full moon to see it so well. And still clear this morning. Ahhh.

So ah yes, as back to routine I am, and tea for me. Seems most was okay in the refrigerator, thankful for that too. We did not open it at all after the power went out.

Ooh fire whistle just went off. Hmm.

And that darn SW was still changing flights. As now my return flight has been pushed back 15 minutes, but at least both stayed direct. And at least little one’s changes reduced the price a little bit. So she has some travel funds for later. But ack, she looses more than 1/2 a day with the flight changes. And she’s only going for 4 days, 3 nights. I loose 6 hours of time total. But what annoys me the most is that SW removed all direct early morning flights to Orlando for our September flight days. Sigh. I wish back to business did not have to have flight changes.

Oh well. It is indeed a Thirsty Thursday. Hope you have a terrific one. And drink up, it is good for the body.

Oh and it is a good morning. I hope yours will be or has been.

 

[macraven]

Lynne
I used SW for a number of years and it was fine when I lived in the north
Did have time delays and change of route on this behalf before and it always was not to my liking
But they were cheap

only used them twice after I moved to GA
They fly out of Atlanta but had to buy a seat with Groome transportation shuttle to reach Atlanta then fly SW to ord

it was time consuming for me and a few trips took over two hours to reach Atlanta
Groome picks up reservations at other hotels along the way
Few times we waited 39 minutes for pick ups
Last time had a 2.5 hour delay with Groome and that was the last time I flew SW

simply better doing a two flight set up
Use a hopper flight delta out of chatt and go directly to delta terminal

Hope you don’t have any more changes or last minute issues with SW!

 

[Lynne G]

Thanks Mac. I hope so too.

Prices for everything seem to have gone up dramatically in the past 18 months.
Hope you're able to find something at a decent price point!

I used Delta primarily when going to the condos in Alabama. Using them for our Boston trip next week too. I had a free companion flight to use.









A day with no plans. Literally nothing on the calendar. Such a strange occurrence. What am I to do with myself???

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick morning stop in!!!

It is cool here, but the sun is shinning. Such weird weather we have had this summer already. It was soooo foggy here yesterday morning, cool all day and just sticky humid. Which is soooo abnormal for our area. Had a good storm go through our area with a decent amount of rain fall for about 2 hrs last night. The smoke seems to have cleared, no more gross sticky humidity, and the sun is shinning. It isn't going to get super warm here today, but at least the sun is shinning. The weather forecast looks great for the weekend at around 80ish. Just perfect!!!

Trying to figure out what to whip up for supper tonight with the fresh veggies we bought at the farmers market when we went with dd in the big city. Hoping to get to the farmer's market here on Saturday to get a few more things. I like to whip up a fresh veggie soup like dh's mom used to make. He loves it when I make that for him. I really would love some fresh lettuce for salad this week!

Dh bought a new gps/fish finder/ depth finder for the boat. Our old one crap*ed out. And of course, he couldn't buy just basic one Man they sure went up in price from the last time we bought one. So he will hook it up tonight and tomorrow...and we are hoping to head out on Saturday to catch some fish. The only thing is we had our " golden spots" marked on the old one. Hopefully with all the fancy depth and mapping capabilities on it, we can mark those spots again.

Have a few phone calls to make today. Some people are still requesting them even though lockdown is officially over, so many lonely people out there. Shocking some don`t even have any friends either.

That is great that you are still doing that! Good job on the miles in walking. I"m glad your foot is healing fabulously - especially if your walking that far!!!!

And yes, the Bucks did it!!

Congrats to them!!!!! I'm sure it was a great game!

Making ribs for supper tonight, with a side of smashed potatoes. We haven't had ribs in ages, so I'm looking forward it. I will put them in the crock pot soon and slow cook them all day. Yum!

YUM!!!!! Now I will be putting ribs onto my menu for the next week

And that darn SW was still changing flights. As now my return flight has been pushed back 15 minutes, but at least both stayed direct. And at least little one’s changes reduced the price a little bit. So she has some travel funds for later. But ack, she looses more than 1/2 a day with the flight changes. And she’s only going for 4 days, 3 nights. I loose 6 hours of time total. But what annoys me the most is that SW removed all direct early morning flights to Orlando for our September flight days. Sigh. I wish back to business did not have to have flight changes.

Wow...that is a quite a few changes. I know that on the Canadian board, one airline in particular is changing flights many times for travelers as well. It is frustrating. I hope that is the last of the changes for you!!!!

Well, I should try to shuffle these papers on my desk. It has been crazy the past few days here...fighting with the credit department of all departments I won't even go into it...but geeze louise...just get out of the way and let the guys do their jobs!!!!! Anyways...hope to stop in again a little later

Take care hommies!!!!!

Quick stop in while on lunch break. I couldn’t sleep last night so I started a pre trip report.

Yay! Power came on as was doing my morning refreshing by phone flashlight.

Glad you got power back. It’s too hot to be without it.

A day with no plans. Literally nothing on the calendar. Such a strange occurrence. What am I to do with myself???

Take a lazy “me” day.

Sounds like me with my insurance issues.

Just got off the phone with Busch Gardens. I was confused about my AP and when they will start charging for it again. Found out it is paid through 2/21/22. Yay!

Hello sunshines…just when you thought it was safe to be on the SANs board, I’m basack.

A most lovely trippie. Well, other than coming back with a bug that knocked me off my pins for almost 2 weeks…to point where I felt the need to pass another COVID test. Appears many of us, who had been religiously masking up, have lost our immunity to many run of the mill viruses. Isn’t that special? Hello, virus my old friend, you‘ve come to make me sick again

before I do forget, wanted to share the couple of outfits I did make the ‘lil. 1st top crocheted, with adjustable crop/scrunch option. Should’ve bought that hat at Ron Jon, last is subdued HP print.

will bore you later with a few pics of the motherland.

Patrick has his own show now…I’m just sayin…. Congrats to your team on that down to wire win!

How cute Keisha. Sending lots of get well mummy dust your way. Ack to be sick when you got home. Rest up, and take care of yourself. Need to be healthy for that Fall trip. Yeah, was hoping they’d sell discount HHN tickets. Guess the one night and who knows how many of us kept the tickets from last year, is maybe making them not having to sell anything else but this year’s one night. And even just the one night express seems to selling well too. Ack also to miss ya this year. Was going to do the mouse, but the hotel rates scared me away. For a fourth of the price, I’m getting SF with lagoon view. So, maybe next year I’ll do mouse first then dark side.

Which reminds me, Mac going to do that when you going stickie for Fall trips?

All I can say, is
