This is a nice casual restaurant with delicious food on the River. They have the most delicious beer cheese Pretzel app.

Love the British phone box of yesteryear……..sadly not a common site anymore in the UK. Mostly tourist attractions now…….

Lovely pictures though…….



Decide to watch our favourite scary movie that’s not a horror…….The Conjuring……love Patrick Wilson!

Time for another Dark and Stormy……….

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Robo sorry to hear of uncle passing. Sending my sympathy to you and your whole family and his friends.

 

[Metro West]

lol....you always managed to scare me!

Your poor ribs that first year....how you weren`t bruised I`ll never know.

Yes, it`s a worry for sure. The amount of vaccinated people is certainly higher than I`d have thought. And add in the water issue worry, it`s all a bit much. Hopefully by October they`ll drop.....hopefully. It`s a bit of a mess.

But, hopefully you`ll get there and feel comfy about it.

Yeah...I hope so too.

BTW...do you remember a British TV series that ran from 1973-1976 called Thriller? I have watched season 3 and the stories can be very creepy. Check Amazon...that's where I got it.

 

[macraven]

Good Stuff.

Hey there tony
Good to see you!

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. Mostly lazy day today. I have to adjust to not having B at home again. Last night I must have been dreaming. I thought I heard her call out, "Mom!" so I waited a moment to see if she would call me again. Then I remembered that she wan't home.

Voodoo donuts are really a hit with the vacationers to Universal. I always see people walking with their big pink Voodoo donut boxes.

That's on my list of places to try in October.

Wow.....that is something.

Thanks, I have no idea why my teeth are so good. It certainly isn't genetics.

Bronchitis is slowing getting better.

Good to hear.

I received a call from my Aunt Thursday night after 11 pm that my Uncle passed away.

Not good to hear. I am sorry for your loss.

Here are pics from walk Thursday.

What a beautiful place to take a walk.

Somewhere I have a couple of picture of B and dh at the phone box in EPCOT. The first picture B is 7 and the next one she is 10. I wish we had taken a picture every time we went.

It's getting late, but I don't know if I will sleep well tonight. I dozed off and on most of the afternoon. Hope Lynne has made it safely home.

 

[KStarfish82]

Evening everyone! Just doing a quick pop in!

Currently waiting of Henri to dance onto our doorstep. Long Island is in the direct path of this hurricane, but I think we will be spared the brunt of it where I am because it seems to be pulling to the east. Hope not to lose power but charging everything just in case and we have a generator.

Had an eventful day yesterday with my 3 year old. Charlie fell off our golf cart while in motion (very slow) and has some major scrapes on his nose and forehead and has a hairline fracture in his tibia (shin bone). He has a temporary cast/brace from the ER and sees the orthopedist on Monday (also another reason I certainly do not want to lose power)...to see what he will be wearing for the next few weeks.

So yea....fun stuff......and school begins in a week and a half! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

 

[Lynne G]

Oh no Kfish, I hope little Charlie is doing better. Scary to see him fall, I’m sure.

Ah nothing like older one working overtime, and us arriving a bit early, to not be Cinderella, as arrived after midnight.

As much as I like to go away, feels good to sleep in my own bed.

Hope all have a good night.

 

[macraven]

Kfish, glad to see you here!
Ouch on the news about Charlie

Hope he heals up real soon!
I was a nervous wreck in the early years of mine growing up
Always worried which one was going to have the next mishap
Think it was more stressful when they got their drivers license

Sending gentle hugs for the little guy

 

[macraven]

Welcome back home Lynne
Nice you kept us up to date while you were at UO

Always nice to sleep in your own bed !
Enjoyed your posts while you were at the motherland

 

[schumigirl]

Yeah...I hope so too.

I vaguely remember that one Todd, I think they changed it slightly the 2nd season to sell to the American market as it had an American actor in every episode?? I think anyway. Hasn`t been repeated here as far as I know. Glad you`re enjoying it.

Sometimes we think of things afterwards. I do love red phone boxes, we do have a few left but mostly in very rural places. Where we used to have our holiday cottage in Scotland had one on the outskirts of the nearest village, and it did get used.

Hope you slept well.

Hope Charlie is ok and hopefully Henri won`t do too much damage. I need to call my cousins on LI and make sure they`re ok.



Late night last night.......but fun, managed to facetime our friends and a relative in Australia. I think they are missing travel a lot more than we are. Where they all are looks so beautiful, but I`ve never wanted to visit Australia at all.

Kyle is picking me up this morning and we`re going birthday shopping for Tom. He still has to get him some things and I need a card, think everything else is sorted. I did plan to order a cake from a friend who makes them, but he said not to bother, so I won`t.

Then hopefully if the weather holds up, we`ll get out a walk this afternoon, drizzly, grey and kinda dark this morning.

A bacon and sunny side up eggs morning for sure.

Happy Sunday ​

Good Sunday Morning Sans family



Happy Birthday Metro West

Sorry to hear of your family members’ passing
Always painful to say good by to a loved one

Thank you Mac.

Have you on my daily prayer list you have a complete healing and get comfort quickly
Very difficult to be active at this time.

Thank you Mac, your prayers are much appreciated. Hope you are doing well after your dental work.

Sorry to hear about your uncle @Robo56. Hope you get better soon too.

Thank you.

Oh Robo sorry to hear of uncle passing. Sending my sympathy to you and your whole family and his friends.

Thank you. Hope the plane ride back home was smooth. You will be back in a few short weeks.

Not good to hear. I am sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Kstar i’am Sorry to hear of your sweet little ones accident. I’am sending lots of prayers and good wishes for little Charlie. Hope all goes well with Orthopedic visit tomorrow.



Sending good healing wishes for Charlie and all who need them.


We finally got the down poor we needed yesterday. It’s going to be a humid hot one again today.

Slept a little better last night. Not as much coughing. Back is going to take a little time. Steroids and pain med and rest should help with that. Will try to make attempt to go to Uncles graveside service today. I really want to be there for my Aunt and of course to pay my respects to a wonderful Uncle.

The cemetery is about an hour south of here in an area of Kentucky were our family is from. I was at the cemetery almost 3 weeks ago and cleaned up around the family graves there. My grandparents, my mom, great-grandparents, cousin and aunts and Uncles are buried there. The cemetery caretakers do a great job of grass cutting, but don’t weed eat. So I go up every few months and weed eat and throw out some grass seed clean the stones.

I spoke with niece and told her to have a look at the restaurants and menus and pick any place she liked to eat at Universal as she is flying in for a few days in September.

Will definitely have to take her for a nice steak and Berries and Bubbles. I think she will like that.

I have looked at the menu of drinks at Oga’s Cantina. Not sure what to order. Anyone here have suggestions on things you tried that are good?

22 days till Universal. I’am so looking forward to this trip. Need to get this body out sick bay and in vacation mode for sure.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

 

[keishashadow]

Jr coming for dinner today, going to attempt bourbon chicken, it’s been hit or miss for me in the past Getting the sauce to the right consistency For some reason.

Happy Birthday to Todd, make sure to treat yourself today!

Thanks Keisha, maybe food or drink from above?

same stuff they couldn’t sell from Mardi Gras lol. Nothing that calls to me. Hope they shake it up. They were still pushing those items in the food trucks after the 4th of July,

Do like the Pizza Fries - they are much better if you get them at Louies

i‘ve greatly enjoyed the ones at place by sponge store/ET. Can’t remember where I grabbed at IoA last year in September, just passable

I have friends begging for the borders to open for me to buy them some more.......not Bath & Body stuff....they all want the Tide pens.....and they all thank my friend Janet for that.......lol.....

hahahaha

Enjoy today.........

Was a nice little celebration of GD’s “BD week” as we tend to roll

her husband has gone to Ireland to pick up a new horse so she passed a few hours with us.

don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone post that before, how cool is that?

Then my back went out yesterday. My back has been tender for a few days. When the dics start to swell out it’s obvious. I’am already on steroids so fingers crossed. Sitting and standing to long are out pain is to bad. No more walks till back is better. Ever heard that saying when it rains it pours.

oh no! That’s the worst & it always does tend to happen at the worst time possible. Feel better soon.

I received a call from my Aunt Thursday night after 11 pm that my Uncle passed away. It had been expected. He was in the Nursing Home and was receiving Hospice. He had previously had cancer and survived that and got Covid in November and it attacked his lungs pretty bad. He had a number of other medical issues after and just could not get better. He was 81 and a wonderful Uncle. I’am so glad my Aunt had the time to say goodbye to her sweetheart. He was a happy, generous good soul. He will be missed.

Aw, sad to hear, sounds as though he was quite the fighter. Nurse at my Mom’s home said most there who did survive covid, haven’t bounced back (mentally or physically) to previous norms. It’s so sad to see it. My BiL, also in a nursing home on a vent, who had such serious medical issues, went very quickly after his diagnosis.

have made appointments to build a Lightsaber and Droid when I go to Galaxy’s Edge in September......LOL....can you tell I have had to much time on my hands..

two snaps up for the Savi’s LS experience. My youngest is resistant to doing it, bought one of the pricey collectible ones there years ago. considering surprising him for upcoming trip, need to mull it over.

GD did the Droid one out @ DL when we visited after it just opened. She had fun but, the actual operation of it was very disappointing, kept falling apart. donated to goodwill after a few months.

On a positive note grandsons high school played their first Football Game yesterday evening and they won 31- 7.

that’s a solid start to the new season! My DSs’ HS team had their first scrimmage, beat last year’s regional champs in their division. However, both teams lost the majority of their players, mostly freshman & sophmores. Thinking it’s going to be a long season for them.

She doesn`t like me either.....she thinks I`m a spoiled little madam.....she could be right.....lol.......

lol, i’d take that. Have been called much worse there’s spoiled (out of love) and spoiled rotten, two different animals.

Decide to watch our favourite scary movie that’s not a horror…….The Conjuring……love Patrick Wilson!

a classic. Missed out watching newest one, didn’t realize only offered for 30 days-same time as in theaters. Darn it.

For some reason couldn’t get HBO max to play on my BR tv yesterday. not even via mirroring arrgh. Never had an issue in the past. Spent hours last night, will have to view on LR set Or iPad (Not my fav way to view) Every time I think I have a loose handle on modern technology, it manages to slip thru my grasp.

 

[Metro West]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I'm going to lounge on the sofa today and binge watch some ghostly shows today.

Thanks again for the wishes!

Happy Birthday @Metro West!

Alive and after quite the grocery cart, we are fully stocked once again. Trip was a lot of fun. Returned with a flight that was delayed for weather, but arrived on time. Rainy when we left, rainy and oh so humid when we arrived. Muggy as all when we went grocery shopping. Made soup, mac and cheese, and bought a baguette, which was pretty much gone. All full, and yep, doing that Sunday relaxing of a day.

Back to routine once again. Trash will leave the house by tonight, and alarm already set. Though no matter the late night I had, I was still up early. Just can’t sleep that late, though did one day this last week. With the express pass, no need to be early park entry. And when I’m with my family, we tend to enter the park around lunchtime. And nothing better on a trip, to just be able to relax. And woot! Countdown is also in the 20’s now. Not as low as Robo’s, but ever so much closer, 28.

Robo, I hope you are feeling better every day. Sending mummy dust well wishes your way. And nice to show respects to attend Uncle’s service.

Hehe,Keisha always the family host. Enjoy meal with DS tonight. And yeah, every HHN I’ve been to, never paid for any of the food from those carts. There’s also a sweet kiosk near the stage coming to life. Probably a pass from both of us. LoL

Tea time. House AC still works nicely. And yep, Fred has arrived, why we are getting that oh so muggy warm, and another soaking later this evening. Stay safe Kfish. Our shore is reporting rough waves and strong under currents. Life guards will be busy. Eh, not the weekend to be down the shore.
