Something About Nothing............ #14


Quick late night check in. We left NC early this morning so Dh could go to his football game. I dropped him off at the school and headed home. I was almost home when he called me from his office. He had left his phone in the car and his ticket was on the phone. Had to turn around and drive back to campus. Ugh. When I did get home I took a nap.
Yesterday we ate at Olive Garden before leaving town. They were participating in a Santa for Seniors program. We are now buying Christmas gifts for Calvin and Patricia.

Metro - Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Keisha - what a nice view. I would love to stay at an Animal Kingdom resort some day.

Mac - The nice thing about being someone’s guest I’d that I don’t have turkey for several days. I actually wouldn’t mind another turkey meal.

Here’s a few more lantern pictures.

So pretty pictures Charade. Yeah, we’ve had that happen, someone forgetting phone. Mini computers now. I was so thrilled years ago, when I was sitting in the orca show, and checked in via SW’s app on my phone, for our flight the next day. Almost never have a paper ticket lately. At least you got a nap in after having to back track to retrieve his phone for him to go to the game.

And so, just can’t try to sleep late, so early up I am. Tea is ready, so off I go to enjoy some. Been watching eh, not much interesting on right now. But have a movie I can watch. Kinda cool out, with 34 the temp. Cloudy day again, sadly probably more clouds than sun. But as we get less and less sunlight time, any sunshine will be nice. Sunrise is now almost 2 hours later than now. Crazy how dark it is now in the early mornings.

Schumi, hope you are enjoying all the holiday time in the parks. Seen pictures, and so nice to have parade return, and so enjoy how they change the castle show for the holidays. Grinch returning too.

Keisha too, how was the tour last night? Hope you too are enjoying the holiday time in the parks. Great pictures of the sights and food.

Ah yes, our Sunday. It’s that get the trash out and ready for the week day routine day. Gosh those 4 days off coming to an end. Sigh!

Hehe, but at least it is still a day I can relax enough to have that oh so relaxing day.

Therefore, hoping all the homies, have that oh so relaxing Sunday. And an almost chilly feeling homie wishing all have a good morning too.
 

Morning buddy……..appreciate this wonderful weather you ordered up for us visiting……:D It has been gorgeous so far, and even last night we didn’t need a jacket in the evening going out.

Glad you’re doing better and managed to enjoy some of your Holiday weekend…….



Janet……lovely pics and glad you’re having such fun already


And Charade, those images are beautiful, I can see why you take the time to go visit that place.



Might think about getting up soon…….maybe, one of the best things about vacations, absolutely no rushing around necessary.

Thank you!

It's a little cool for me right now but should be OK by lunch time. I'm sure you are having a great time!
 
Agree Schumi, no rushing on vacation. Glad to see some beautiful weather for your trip.

Metro, hope you get some relaxing and resting today. And glad you hear you are feeling more back to normal.

Neither kid is up, but that’s fine. Interestingly, even though holiday weekend, malls don’t open until 11, and big box store, 10 am. As usual times open for both. I do want to get there earlier than later. So will start the are you moving yet announcement.
 
Good Sunday morning everyone :wave:

Robo I had to have a root canal under a cap too. Years ago. It worked out. Hope yours does too.

Thanks Sue. Sorry to hear you had an issue with your tooth too. I thought once you had the cap on there would be no other issues. Life is an ever changing learning experience for sure.


The class was very nice and as everything was presented ready for use we got done fairly quickly

That is a pretty wreath.


Turkey #1 & pumpkin pies cooked & cooling. Glad I made my rolls & stuffing croutons already. Magic cookie bars on tap, then turkey breast. packing will fall into the nooks & crannies there, somewhere.

Wow.....you did a lot of cooking. You need a nice vacation for some fun and rest.


it repeatedly fell off, just bonded now. Was told it should’ve been lengthened when initially placed but, nooooo; i was too stubborn to listen. I have two other ones of the same ilk on other side of mouth that were anchors for the failed four part bridge.

I’am beginning to understand that the tooth grinding and cap placement is not as easy as it sounds especially the fitting of the final cap correctly.

I hope your Dentist is able to help you.


Early Turkey Day Wishes to y’all and y’all’s,
Howdy from the worst SAN’r ever! :magnify:

Happy Turkey Day to you too. Hope you and the family had a great Thanksgiving.


I caved and now joining the ranks of cooking a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for Thursday

Hope your dinner turned out well Mac. It’s hard not to cave into making a dinner on Thanksgiving.

…yep, headed to Strong Water and there may have been a cocktail or two……..:)

Great to hear you had a good trip in and are enjoying being back at your home away from home. I’am sure everyone is happy to see you back.


Good morning Robo. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hope you are feeling better, and tooth not hurting enough to enjoy some food and fun. And hope you can still enjoy a cup coffee in your HHN cup.

Good morning Lynne. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hope you all did too. Still on antibiotics so tooth has calmed down. I’am enjoying my cup of coffee in my HHN mug this morning. Hope your tea is hot and tasty.


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

What a wonderful welcome.


Here are a few more lantern pictures.

Beautiful pictures of the lanterns Charade.


Hey all, nice room at AK

Wow.....what a view. To wake up to giraffes outside your window. The tree in the lobby is beautiful.

Enjoy your trip.


korean bbq btw & best dessert I’ve (we’ve lol) had in Orlando bar none @ Y&Y

Yummy looking dessert.


New phone owner. All I can say is a good thing I have a tech helper little one.

Have fun with your phone. The cameras just keep getting better with every model.


Might think about getting up soon…….maybe, one of the best things about vacations, absolutely no rushing around necessary.

Your right. Vacations are for resting, letting the day unfold as it will and any new adventure experienced. Have a great time.



Thanksgiving dinner was nice and getting to see all the family was even better. My sister brought a number of dishes and they were delicious. Our son and granddaughter brought pies that were scrumptious.

We also celebrated grandson and niece’s birthdays. Niece’s is on 24th and grandson’s on the 26th. Everyone was full after dinner and there were lots of leftovers to send home with the family.

Our grandson turned 18 and he is the Apple of this grandma’s eye.

Christmas shopping is just about done and wrapped. Just a few other things to purchase.

Macy’s and Dillard’s has had fantastic Black Friday prices on Estée Lauder makeup and face creams and Clinique the past couple of days. Macy’s had some nice jewelry on sale too.

My grandmother’s favorite perfume was ”Youth Dew” by Estée Lauder. I thought of her when I saw it at Macy’s yesterday. I always kept her supplied with her favorite perfume and hand cream that she liked. Great memories of a wonderful grandma.

I watched my little sweet great-nephew J yesterday. We went to the Mall and he rode all the kiddie rides and we stopped in the children’s play area to let him run and play. I bring bleach wipes to wipe things down. He is such a good natured sweet little fella. I cherish the time I get to spend with him and it gives my niece a little time to get some things done. All mommies need a little break.

Weather here has been all over the place. It’s really dropping down at night and warming up during the day.

Already planning Christmas Eve celebration with family. Last year we broke it up into two celebrations. Will have everyone together this year. Last year for one celebration meal I did a country Christmas breakfast and everyone loved It. I had homemade cinnamon rolls, fruit, ham, biscuits and gravy, scrambled cheese eggs, eggs in a hasbrown basket and hash browns. So I’am thinking I might do that again this year. It’s a easy buffet and everyone enjoyed it.

I need to get over and finish my trip report. Life has been getting in the way a little. Will try and get that finished this week. I have been enjoying looking at the pictures again from the trip.


Lori I hope you had a safe trip back home and your dad is improving.


Metro hope your cold is getting better.


Soniam enjoy your time at the Mouse House.


Pumpkin hope your backside is feeling better after your fall.


Shout out to Tink, bobbie68 and all the Sans family.


Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
 
Robbie you are the most organized person I know!
You have done a lot of your Christmas shopping already and I have yet to buy the cards to send to my boys.

wishing your niece and grandson a marvelous happy birthday time!
 
Robo, so good to hear from you. I’m glad the family got together. We had a great Thanksgiving with all us kids gave a toast to our mom. It’s been over a year since her passing, and some tears with that toast. Sweet memories of your grandma. And how fun to be with little J. Take care, and glad to hear enjoying some coffee in that HHN mug. I did enjoy my tea.

Our morning was that older one did come with me, big box shopping times two, and a stop at the mall, and he got quite the haul of stuff he needed, including work pants he had been looking for. So car was full, and back in time for lunch. Then he’s ready to relax and watch the football game. If little one wants to go out, I’m game. Had no lines to checkout in all three stores. Soup and sandwiches are our lunch. Had bought nice rolls, so with toasting and butter, great side with the soup.

Overcast and flurries seen. Oh no! Please not snow. With us to be well below freezing tonight, I can see anything wet will be quite frozen.
 
Good afternoon everyone. I am trying to get some Christmas decorations up today. I won’t be putting up much since we may or may not be getting a new floor in a couple of weeks. I just took some garland out of a box and put it on the mantle. Caspian has already moved in.

Since we now have a mantle I can hang stockings. I bought one for him. I think it’s very appropriate.

And so, just can’t try to sleep late, so early up I am
I used to be able to sleep late, then I got a cat.

And Charade, those images are beautiful, I can see why you take the time to go visit that place.
Thank you. This was our first visit and I’m sure it won’t be our last. It was well worth the 2.5 hour drive.

Interestingly, even though holiday weekend, malls don’t open until 11, and big box store, 10 am.
I may brave the mall tomorrow afternoon. I want to find something Atlanta Braves related for one of the seniors I am shopping for.

Overcast and flurries seen. Oh no! Please not snow.
One of my friends in northern VA had flurries this morning.

Robo - Sounds like you are having lots of good quality family time.
I wish I could bring you here to help me decorate.

Back to decorating. I’m going to try to get my mantle finished
 
My grandmother’s favorite perfume was ”Youth Dew” by Estée Lauder. I thought of her when I saw it at Macy’s yesterday. I always kept her supplied with her favorite perfume and hand cream that she liked. Great memories of a wonderful grandma.
Aw that’s sweet. Good to hear ur tooth is starting to settle down.

Lynne. Put up some pics in this thread post #63 & 64 of the Xmas tour
