Have a blast Todd!!! Nice tee shirts by the way....you must have one from every year now......

I do...I have a "house" shirt for every year since 2004...and I can still fit in all of them.

Not bad at all Todd!

Our first was 2007, but I think one of my brothers claimed that tee of mine....not sure what happened to Kyle`s.......but we didn`t get one every year till 2014.....the Michael Myers year.......

Kyle wanted to buy the mask that was on sale.....no way in hell was he buying that then spook me at home with it......the tee with the full MM face is bad enough......

 

[Charade67]

Another change in plans. My scan had to be postponed because I developed a cough. I’m debating on getting tested just for my piece of mind.

Yes, good idea, might rest your mind getting tested.

Hope you don`t have to wait too long to get the scan.

All I can say is...........

lol.....you are so naughty!! I can actually hear you in head right now laughing right now........

 

[macraven]

Another change in plans. My scan had to be postponed because I developed a cough. I’m debating on getting tested just for my piece of mind.

Hang in there charade !

Hope you get the test lined up within a reasonable time period.

 

[Lynne G]

Yes, good idea to get tested, for piece of mind, Charade. And hope your scan is soon, so you can find out why you had such pain.

Ooh, tomorrow we get HHN started. Will be nice to hear how goes on Saturday, given how late the Friday night will be.

And what do you do with such beautiful weather? Steak on the grill. Bought some good looking orange and yellow peppers, and with some onions, will have them cut up to sauté on the grill. No pans to clean? Yay. Grill dinner is perfect. And think little one made chocolate chip cookies, as I thought I smelled sweet coming from the kitchen. Will wait to light the grill when all ask when dinner is being made.

Terrific Thursday night, homies. And woot! Friday feeling happiness when you wake up tomorrow.,

 

[Metro West]

I agree with the others...get a test for your own peace of mind.

Paris- yes Alaska will reimburse for hotel. I asked! Just booked a few min ago. There’s a Doubletree Suites across from the Southcenter Mall and Cheesecake Factory! Will be convenient. And they have an airport shuttle. Restaurant for breakfast. Ticks all the boxes. I stayed there once but it was quite awhile ago so memory is foggy.

SonIam yes pretty much Keto because of diabetes. Have found some low carb bread, granola, bagels, noodles. A few things but not the variety the US has. And I eat fruit.

Schumi Love Michael Palin travel shows. They were quite good. And Harrods biscuits. Wish I could still eat them, off the diet now. My friend used to bring them back for me!

Charade good idea to get checked. Hope the scan isn’t too far off

Checked in with my brother in LI he said it was pretty rough but the family is all ok.

After my morning appt had lunch with daughter, then went to gelato place that has sugar & dairy free gelato. Chocolate. Only one choice but I’ll take it! Lucky to get that!
Then went on a hunt for new kitchen lighting fixture for above kitchen table. Stupid one we have is impossible to put back together after changing light. Husband and I spent an hour last night trying. Frustrating to say the least.

 

[keishashadow]

& so it does begin. yet another employee positive at nursing homes. In their wisdom, Decided to only test all employees & residents once a week. Not sure if that’s a good thing. Happy thots from me

a

Keisha lol Rawhide! A very young Clint Eastwood!

Yes, such a handsome man. His son a chip off the ole block too!

Sorry to hear about your mom. I have just given up understanding people anymore. I barely could before, but now, I feel like an alien most of the time.

I share you sentiments! Very well put lol

But, one day I`d love a house with a basement. If only to spook myself!

Don’t think I’ve ever lived in one without full basement. One room is for seasonal decorations, including all the large animatronics, several shrouded in sheets. I do leave a light on all night down there in room closest to stairs. For the dog’s sake. Yeah, that’s it!

Been looking this morning....found $49 RT direct flights. On Spirit, which I'm not a fan....but at that price it's hard to overlook.

I’m still mad at them & Allegiant for cancelling flights with little notice. Not ready to trust either yet but, have been monitoring performance on flight aware & they’ve been slowly getting better as to performance

was at one time but when I moved to Georgia, bbq ribs won me over

Sadly, pork, esp ribs don’t sit well on me any longer

I do...I have a "house" shirt for every year since 2004...and I can still fit in all of them.

Nice. I’m almost tempted to make a quilt out of mine

Another change in plans. My scan had to be postponed because I developed a cough. I’m debating on getting tested just for my piece of mind.

Oh geez. Probably a good idea to check

There’s a Doubletree Suites across from the Southcenter Mall and Cheesecake Factory! Will be convenient. And they have an airport shuttle. Restaurant for breakfast. Ticks all the boxes. I stayed there once but it was quite awhile ago so memory is foggy.

That seems preordained! Never disappointed by any of the Hilton brands

 

[J'aime Paris]

Another tea lover here too. I drink hot black tea every morning, even if it's over 100F and even on vacation. I bring my own tea and electric kettle for vacation. I don't like using the coffee makers in the hotel room to heat up water, and the hotel tea is usually pretty terrible. When it's warm, I drink iced tea mid-morning/lunch. When it gets cooler, I drink hot tea mid-morning/lunch, usually green then. Sometimes when it's cool, I will drink herbal at night. I don't like to drink much caffeine in the evening, or I don't sleep well. In the mornings now, I am drinking a peach earl grey. Trying to decide if I should buy some pumpkin black tea off the internet or wait to see if it shows up at my grocery store. Gotta get into the fall spirit.

Does bubble tea count? Love those juice filled bubbles!

Iced tea is the drink of the devil.......lol.......never liked it and just seems wrong to be cold.

But, electric kettle.....good girl!!

We are fussy with tea, the other drink of the devil is Liptons Tea....always amazed when anyone says they drink it, disgusting. I love good quality teas and some fruit teas, but not flavoured with things like Pumpkin. Can`t imagine that in tea.

Breakfast tea, should be served strongly brewed with a splash of milk the traditional British way, and never with sugar.....bleurgh! But Earl greys, always with lemon. Same with Oolong or Darjeeling type of teas.

Royal Pacific do a decent teabag, for all I hate teabags, it`s not too bad.

Some of the nicest teas are from specialist stores and Harrods has our all time favourites, and not as expensive as you may think coming from Harrods. But, haven`t found one in America yet that makes the cut. But, something for everyone out there.

Keisha is still convincing me to try a different Iced Tea though......if anyone can, she can......lol.........





No celebrations yet, we don`t really make a huge fuss with anniversaries.....well, we will next year for our 30th wedding anniversary!!! Tiffany here I come then......lol......I`ve already chosen what I want for that!!

Saturday night will be take out with Kyle and his girlfriend if she`s around, then Sunday lunch with friends is about it this year. We don`t really do gifts either for a regular anniversary, but I have ordered a bottle of Pol Roger Champagne, one of our favourites....not really a gift, but a surprise for Tom and we`ll enjoy that Sunday night.

I`d be off to Vegas with your parents if I were you!! They sound a fun couple and you`d have a blast......excellent flight prices and yes, I have been hearing of the cheap hotel rooms. I know someone who recently got a huge suite in the Bellagio for less than a third of the usual price....I`d go for the room alone. I love hearing of those cheap flight prices.....

We mainly have attics over here. If you have them properly floored out they can store an incredible amout of stuff. Yes, all our "stuff" is stored in the attic areas and we have another above the garages too. Although we are clearing stuff out too.....but we seem to collect more than we get rid of! But, yes, I do love the idea of a basement....

ps.....Love Michael Palin.....not for Monty Python as I never got that show, but his travel tales and shows are infamous!





Cod was beautiful, slightly undercooked so it was very succulent and tasty. And no fishy smell the way some folks think fish is like when one cooks it.....fresh, it should smell of the sea and not fishy.

No dessert for us tonight, but going to make a pot of tea.......Soniam has made me think of adding some peach to Oolong tea tonight.......I only wish they were Georgia peaches, but Italian will do.

One of the favorite memories from my visit to London was the hours spent at Harrods! That place is divine!!

Decisions, decisions....vacay destinations...
Still figuring it out!

Paris, awesome flight prices. You know they are still offering good AP hotel rates? Yeah, many around me have a full basement, but not me. Crawl space as they call it. We do have a nice attic.

The most beautiful weather today. 82 degrees, low humidity and full day of sunshine. Loved my lunchtime walk.

Yes, it almost seems silly to let those prices slide on by....

@Robo56 lovely photographs so close to the house!
@soniam I’m back on Keto. For health not weight. It really helps with avoiding inflammation. Just a pain for me doing different meal for everyone else.
@j’aimeparis amazing prices there. No deals from this side of the ocean!

L had a good first day but very tired - in the bath now and will be shouting for a Nanna story very soon. Her teacher was asking for volunteer readers so I’ve offered to go in. J and L both excellent readers way beyond their years but I know from DS with Dyslexia it’s not always that easy.

Large issue here around the country with internet - ours went off this afternoon and had to set a hot spot up for J who is lost without his pad! Ours came back this evening but off in huge areas apparently.

Hope no more adverse weather conditions for any of you.

Every time I think we may be getting closer to normal....a new variant seems to appear. It's disheartening...

Another change in plans. My scan had to be postponed because I developed a cough. I’m debating on getting tested just for my piece of mind.

Sorry to hear of the postponement... Do you think you were exposed?

Yes, good idea to get tested, for piece of mind, Charade. And hope your scan is soon, so you can find out why you had such pain.

Ooh, tomorrow we get HHN started. Will be nice to hear how goes on Saturday, given how late the Friday night will be.

And they have an airport shuttle. Restaurant for breakfast. Ticks all the boxes. I stayed there once but it was quite awhile ago so memory is foggy.

Schumi Love Michael Palin travel shows. They were quite good. And Harrods biscuits. Wish I could still eat them, off the diet now. My friend used to bring them back for me!

I'm impressed that Alaska came through with great customer service like that! Seems most airlines are kinda leaving there customers out to dry. Good for them!!







Just fried up the bacon for tonights BLT+avocado sandwiches. A certain 90 pound lab won't leave my side, lol!! Bacon is her #1 favorite food of all! She's being the absolute best-est good girl, in hopes that a bite or two may find it's way to her.....of course it will!

This is absolutely true in this house!

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I always cook the whole package of bacon, as none leftovers in our house either Paris.

Oh no, Keisha. I’d be mad. Hope your mom is okay. Hugs, it seems to never get better. If only so many won’t get vaccinated.

Hehe, just was listening to nightly national news, and you can tell the news guy is not from our area. Said the river name wrong. Eh, many of our roads and that river are Indian, Welch and Dutch derived names.

Mihael Palin is wonderful to watch. Very knowledgeable and a good sense of humour to go with it.

Harrods is a lovely store, we don`t go to London very often right now, but online is our option. They do very nice products.

I need to check in with my cousins in LI, I`m sure they`re fine, but want to know.....

Funny with the kitchen.....I have a corner I want to change the decor....did have a kitchen cook book corner....moved them and now it`s an empty space. Trying to find the right replacement is taking up too much time.....maybe a simple lamp will work.......

Big bacon fans here too......love an avoBLT.....Tom, minus the avocado as he isn`t a fan......can`t abide reheated bacon.....what even is that........

Harrods is a wonderful store......something for most people. I`m not a shopper (or so I say) but stores like Harrods I could spend all day in.....their food court is like The Plaza in NYC......excellent.

Yes, I`m excited to read about the early experiences of HHN..........this year sounds fabulous!! From genuine HHN fans only though.......





Almost midnight here.....somehow we have had a blackberry gin and red wine.....who decided that.......er, might have been me........

Walk might be a little bit later tomorrow........

I just cannot…as a fisherwoman, in my mind I see salmon eggs, often used as bait.

Said the river name wrong

It is a tough one tho lol

The outcry over Tim Tracker not being invited to media night has been deafening. No idea he had such an enthusiastic fan base. To each their own, absolutely not a fan of his videos.

Yes, not a fan of Spirit, but those prices have me looking past all that

I fly them frequently. Have enjoyed my share of $27 flights to FL for bonus trips as well as many freebie ones on earned points. There’s just something about getting a cancellation email a little over a day prior to my flight that has me pumping my brakes lol.

to distress my life, walked away from RT for 3of us re upcoming trip. We’ll book them again when the travel bug does bite us. I just will make sure to have cancellable SWA booked on points for same route

hope u do take the plunge!

I can see iced tea being hard for Brits. It's just not in your genes. It gets pretty hot here, so hot tea isn't always nice. Plus, iced tea flavors nasty tap water pretty nicely The iced tea I have now is passionfruit vanilla black tea. It's from a company called Tealeaves. They used to supply the tea for the Grand Floridian tea room at Disney. Their tea isn't cheap, but some of it is just amazing. I have had the tea at Harrods when we went to London years ago. That's one of my souvenirs when we travel. It was rather good and not expensive. I absolutely loved the food hall. I so want to go back.

We have really good peaches here in Central Texas too. When I was a kid, my great grandmother would grow peaches in her orchard. We would eat them sliced with milk or cream poured on them.

i assume You are a healthy eater
I was at one time but when I moved to Georgia, bbq ribs won me over

Being in the home of Tex Mex and also BBQ, it gets pretty tough. I am an all or nothing kind of person, so it's either all healthy or all bad. Waiting until the Formula 1 race ni town and Halloween to be bad for a bit.

@Robo56 lovely photographs so close to the house!
@soniam I’m back on Keto. For health not weight. It really helps with avoiding inflammation. Just a pain for me doing different meal for everyone else.

I do keto for weight loss and health reasons. I started it to lose weight but soon realized it really helped with my allergies, eczema, digestive issues, and diverticulitis. My husband and son are good at accommodating me, when I cook. They get a break when we get to go food.

Another change in plans. My scan had to be postponed because I developed a cough. I’m debating on getting tested just for my piece of mind.

Ugh! Definitely get tested. Hope things are resolved soon.

SonIam yes pretty much Keto because of diabetes. Have found some low carb bread, granola, bagels, noodles. A few things but not the variety the US has. And I eat fruit.

After my morning appt had lunch with daughter, then went to gelato place that has sugar & dairy free gelato. Chocolate. Only one choice but I’ll take it! Lucky to get that!

Keto is so great for diabetes, from what I hear. I try to avoid things that carby, even when low carb, to help retrain my brain to not love the carbs and sugar. Otherwise, I would just go nuts and eat all the carbsI will eat strawberries occasionally. Fruit really feels like sugar to me, and I tend to eat way too much. The chocolate gelato sounds really good. It would be a waste in any other flavor.

Yeah, I always cook the whole package of bacon, as none leftovers in our house either Paris.

We are big on bacon here. I have to have mine almost burnt though. My son, who barely eats anything, can eat a whole package of bacon by himself. We have to fight him off to keep him from eating our portion. I think we will cook bacon this weekend, since it's a long weekend.

I just cannot…as a fisherwoman, in my mind I see salmon eggs, often used as bait.

It is a tough one tho lol

You would hate the bubble tea at the China booth for the Epcot Food & Wine festival. The boba are black!!

I am a bit surprised that they didn't invite him. He's really popular. I have watched some of his stuff but not much lately. My favorite Universal podcast, the Unofficial Universal Orlando Podcast, got invited for the first time this year. The founders of the podcast are in England and haven't been able to make it to the US in 2 years, so the other 2 US-based hosts are attending.

I like bubble tea, but I don't drink it often. It's pretty sugary, and I just sig sweet drinks down like nothing.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. What a day this has been. Finding a testing site proved to be a challenge. Most places required appointments and had none left for the day. I finally found a walk in clinic across town that would do it. I should have results tomorrow.

Yay, the smell of paint in Charade’s house.

Not yet. Today they removed all of my cabinet doors. They will take them back to the workshop and paint them there.

Ooh news also showed roof off school in township next to us, like a 10 minute drive away from that school. And trees down, including one that killed a lady in the house it fell. Yeah, that happened about a 15 minute drive. Many cars are under water near that large river and local streams and creaks. Can barely see their roofs of those submerged cars. Rain totals are 8 to 13 inches in the area. Ours was around the lowest of those totals.

Wow, that is crazy scary. Glad you are oaky.

One of the neighbors calls me Nurse Doolittle because I feed the animals who wander to the yard. Birds, squirrels, deer, foxes.

Or possibly a Disney Princess.

I‘ve been checking flights routinely. Yesterday saw the dreaded message on Alaska that my flights have changed and I need to call. You know it’s bad when you need to call. They canceled my Seattle to Vancouver connection. Only running morning flights now to Vancouver so I have to overnight in SeaTac area and fly home next morning. Ugh. Now looking at hotels. My go to hotel, a Marriott Towneplace Suites now doesn’t have a shuttle because they ran vans and too small with Covid. And I don’t want to Uber alone. There’s lots of hotels walking distance from the big mall that have airport shuttle so will look around. Maybe the Hilton. It’s right across from mall. Something to do. I land at 1pm. And Cheesecake Factory across the street!.

Hope you have everything sorted out. Cheesecake Factory is a nice consolation.

Pictures of the city and suburb neighborhoods along that large river are still flooded. As well as some roads still closed due to water still making passage not possible. Was a tornado about a mile from me. Damaged homes and a school that has no roof now, fallen trees, leaving some with no power and killing that lady in her home. So sad. And a long list of schools in my area are closed, no power issues, and while most have generators, closed to allowing families to deal with storm damage without having to getting your kids to school. But as we are in that sweet spot once again, no damage and only a few minutes loss of power. And my township schools are open, and roads around me are dry.

That is so tragic.

Been looking this morning....found $49 RT direct flights. On Spirit, which I'm not a fan....but at that price it's hard to overlook.

Also, Las Vegas is sooooo cheap too! Like ridiculous cheap!

Wow, those are awesome prices. I don't think Spirit flys anywhere near me.

Iced tea is the drink of the devil.......lol.......never liked it and just seems wrong to be cold.

I guess it's different when it is something you have had almost all of your life. I'm not much on hot drinks unless it is really cold out, however tonight I am drinking hot tea hoping it will soothe my cough some.

Hope you don`t have to wait too long to get the scan.

Right now it is rescheduled for the 13th, but if my test is negative I can move it up.

& so it does begin. yet another employee positive at nursing homes. In their wisdom, Decided to only test all employees & residents once a week. Not sure if that’s a good thing. Happy thots from me

So sorry to hear this,

Nice. I’m almost tempted to make a quilt out of mine

My husband has a wall hanging made from some of his old shirts. One day I plan to have one made for B from her dance t-shirts.

Sorry to hear of the postponement... Do you think you were exposed?

That's always a possibility. I am hoping it's just allergies. They usually get worse this time of year.

I just cannot…as a fisherwoman, in my mind I see salmon eggs, often used as bait.

That makes for an interesting mental picture. I tried bubble to once, and did nit care for it.

Apologies for any typos. I am not going back to proofread. It's late, I'm tired, and have a headache. I'm calling it a night.
