Mummy dust well wishes to Metro. I hope your cough and not feeling well is gone quickly. Hope your flu shot is sooner too. Good morning and get that rest you need.

Ditto Metro

I rarely sleep in...I'm used to getting up early for work. I wish I could sleep in...even 6:30 would be a treat.

I like you’re up early as it means I can chat you you if I’m around at that time, it’s usually so quiet……I quite like being an early bird…..but I agree, a nice cosy sleep in is nice sometimes.

Morning all...I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I have picked up a cold somewhere which stinks so I'm going to rest for a couple of days...I need to get the flu shot and they won't give it if you are sick. So...I might run down to Walgreens and get some medicine to ease this damn cough I have now.

For those who love to shop on Black Friday...

Hope you feel much better soon Todd…..plenty of rest and liquids too!

Sending you Mummy Dust Metro so you feel better real soon

Hope you can get your flu shot soon

i don’t take them but Mr Mac does and swears by them
they help him avoid the flu

Im considering the flu jab for the first time this year, it’s not routinely offered unless you have a reason for it, but naturally they’re encouraging it now…..but still not sure……

Glad you got that last email, for some reason it didn’t want to send to you and bounced back, but I just saw your reply so I’m glad it made it…..temperamental email is last thing I need!





Well, I said I wouldn’t be posting much while I’m here this trip, but have 10 minutes while I try to wake up this morning.

Lovely day yesterday…..it was so HOT and so beautiful in the heat and sunshine again……..this being our 4th trip at this time of year we know to expect a possible mixed bag, but it really was gorgeous.

We did the Velocicoaster…….wow! just wow…..and then such a busy day which was so much fun……..avoiding all shopping and shops today, not my thing at all, so will venture to the parks and just chill. Won’t be rushing around like a headless chicken but taking our time and smelling the roses again.

Lovely welcome back home from one of the Club Lounge supervisors and the team……such a nice surprise…….

Time to get up I think……..



And safe travels to our miss keishashadow today……hope you and the mister have a lovely journey down and Tom and I can’t wait to see you both next week…..and yes we did manage to have lots of turkey yesterday at the Thanksgiving buffet, forgot to mention to you it was gorgeous! And hope your boy is feeling better too…….

 

[macraven]

Very nice, enjoy !

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. I think I am finally ready to eat again after yesterday's meal. As predicted, we had way too much food. Our hosts made a traditional oven roasted turkey, and also cooked a turkey breast in their smoker. We all decided that we want smoked turkey again for Christmas.

No Black Friday shopping for me today. Later today we will be driving to North Carolina to go to the Chinese lantern festival this evening. I plan to take lots of pictures.

I guess I should get up and start getting ready for the day.

Metro, hope you are feeling better soon.

Hi everyone,
Happy Thanksgiving a day late!!!! It has been very busy and everytime I go to sit down to type I get distracted and forget it.
I hope everyone had a nice day. It was strange being here by ourselves in warm weather. However, we did enjoy it very much. Did the basics, nothing crazy.

The weather has been all over the place from 40's at night to 80 during the day! I will take it after hearing CT was in the 30's yesterday morning.

I wanted to shout out to Lori and Sonia thank you for the meet up we had a great time. Strongwater was very nice, and we have come to like Saphhire a lot. Sonia enjoy the rest of the time at Disney.

I see Carole is in Orlando, welcome back and to my new hometown! I hope you have a great trip and enjoy the weather.

I did one black friday deal! I bought tickets to Discovery Cove for May. I added the 3 park extra ticket for Bush Gardens, Sea World and Aquatica. Looking forward to it. These will be our staycation destinations this year. I also got a cabana at Discovery Cove.

I will be getting passes again for Universal, since this is our favorite park.

I have to run errands before kid pick up at work. I hope everyone has a great day after Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Black Friday Sales Day!!!! For those of you who hit the mall and shop...may the sales be endless and great!

I usually stay put and don't do much shopping on this weekend. It has even grown here over the years. I have never been the one standing outside -shivering in the cold - waiting for the stores to open to get those great sale items. We are more Boxing Day shoppers - and even now, not so much. Retailers are stretching those sales for WEEKS now here. If there is something that we are really needing that might be one sale, we will head out, but otherwise, we just stay in.

It is warm here again - with weather advisories for rain today. It's currently 45F . Seen the official " I'm going to get to wear my shorts and flip flops as long as I can" outfits last night. It's funny how many people break out the shorts and flip flops when we have weather like this in winter

Not much planned for the weekend. We are going to head out Sunday for our regular grocery run, then maybe hit a few places. We are heading to the big city next weekend to see the kids and complete our xmas shopping for them while we are there. We already know what we are getting both ds's. So it's just a matter of heading out on a quiet evening night to get it. No malls required for their shopping this year. Older ds needs a few more fancier tools ( meters and some drill set ) and younger ds is inheriting the car his older brother has been driving as ds is buying his first vehicle so he is getting a remote starter for the car. Easy peasy for them this year.

Not much else planned. Thinking it's pizza night tonight. It's been a long week...and this momma is tired.

Have a great day everyone...stay safe!

Good morning and happy Thanksgiving. Once again I am awake before I wanted to be. This morning I need to frost the cake I made last night and then make the apple pie.

Hope things work out and you are able to do both trips.

Was it worth the wait? We will probably ride it when we are then in March.

There will be 7 of us for dinner, but I suspect our hosts will still have a ton of leftovers. They always make so much food. In the past we have had bigger groups (up to 30 at one point) and I think they haven't adjusted for the smaller crowds.


Mid to high 70's is perfect for me. Welcome back to the U.S. Schumi.

Lynnes quote has disappeared. I gave my family strict orders not to touch the ice cream in the freezer. It's reserved for the apple pie. I like your sister's thinking too.

I am still the only one awake. I think I will wait another hour before starting my food preparations. Meanwhile I am watching an episode of Too Cute.

It was cute and fun, but short. We got VQ and also bought it, The wait when buying it was very short, less than 10 minutes. The VQ wait was about 30 minutes.

Safe travels and can’t wait to see your lantern pictures, Charade. Sounds like a great evening event.

Cold and quiet now. That wind was nasty. Had to drop off some heaters to my DH at his mom’s house, as her heater broke and needs a part that was ordered. I hope it comes in soon, though she is lucky, as will be above freezing the next couple of nights. Well, the main highway we use, was blocked the opposite way, due to an accident right after the exit we go to. Was crazy long to go the mile we had left to the exit. That’s because, besides gawker slowing, they blocked the left lane of the two lanes to attend to the accident on the other side. Ugly traffic. Best part was though, on way back, with road still blocked, was so easy to get on with no merging of traffic, and much faster back home.

Our event of the day. Now enjoying round two of last night’s meal. Yum.

Thanks.

Ditto Metro

Thanks!

Thank you!

Metro, hope you are feeling better soon.

Thank you!


I spent the day on the couch and I feel much better...I guess I was just worn out from yesterday.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

 

[Lynne G]

That looks so pretty Charade. Thanks for posting it.

Our 7th annual anti-Black Friday event was a success. I paid a little extra for early admission and so glad I did. We were there 3 hours and it had gotten quite crowded by the time we left.
After the lantern festival we decided to keep with the theme and have Chinese food for supper.

Unfortunately I didn’t sleep well last night. It was sleep a little, wake, sleep a little, wake, etc. We will be leaving early this morning to go back home because Dh has a football gave to attend at noon.

Here are a few more lantern pictures.






More later.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, Charade, beautiful pictures. I’m sorry not slept well. At least when home can take a nap. I’m always up early, even a good enough sleep that I had. Sometimes on a Friday night, I stay up late. Could not find anything interesting to watch, so went to bed not much after my usual week day scheduled time. Safe travels home.

Saturday morning. Yay, weekend is here. Per early morning news, we are at 34, with a wind chill feeling like it’s 26 out. Tad cool start. But at least no rain and when the morning clouds blow outta here, that glorious sunshine. Ah that time of year less and less sunlight though. A minute before 7 am is our sunrise time. And sun setting 6 minutes after that 1/2 after 4 clock striking. Yep, less than 9 hours of daylight.

And so, tea for me, remote in hand, and deciding which not too interesting show to watch. Tea kettle has already sounded it’s hot as I need it. Hot tea? Ahhhh.

Our plans? Older one wants to do some shopping with me today. He works one of his longest times, as will be a cool afternoon and long night for him. So I told him, we should be out the door by mid morning. Will give him enough time to get back, eat some lunch, and freshen up before he leaves for work. Then it will be a little one and me day, as DH just left, as helping his mum, as I heard the heater part did arrive or was found, and heater was fixed yesterday. I hope it was, as cool night, with it just above freezing this morning. So what are little one and I to do? Lazy. Yep. I have no idea when she went to sleep last night. I’m thinking with the early morning yesterday, there’s no way I’m seeing her until maybe older one and I return this morning. And you can bet, will have that jacket on and sunglasses on. And maybe tie up that hair. That wind yesterday felt strong enough to blow tumbleweeds across the car, as we waited in that traffic. Hehe, little one said look at that ball of weed flying across the car. Yeah, that’s why they call them tumbleweeds. That 20 to 35 mph will chill us again today. Sigh. Done with those warmer feeling days now. Winter is coming. And so is December. Hehe, will be seeing that man in red less than 28 days now.

Good Morning homies. Hope Schumi is having a fabulous time, and hope all the homie are having a fabulous Saturday too. Lazy one.
Indeed!

 

[Metro West]

Good morning all! Charade...those pictures are wonderful! Can't wait to see more.

 

[Lynne G]

Good morning Metro. I hope you are feeling much better today. And resting some more, and take care. Seems you have a cool feeling morning too. Though not nearly as cool as mine. May try to remedy that two weeks from now.

Thanks Lynne...I think I'm pretty much back to normal...whatever that is.

I'm still going to chill today and rest up...then try to head out tomorrow.

Driving up to do the U holiday tour this evening. Pit stop at AK for the safari ride. Critters should be active as it’s cool. The mr lobbied late last night had for yak & yeti. That Landry’s card does come in handy, called & they fit us in with zero availability re ADRs.

His standby sweet & sour chicken. I went with Doreen BBQ-yum

 

[Lynne G]

Awesome AKL views, Keisha. Curious to see what you think of the tour tonight. Love the castle picture. Maybe next year’s holiday, we will do mouse and dark side.
