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

[schumigirl]

Happy Saturday. A cold, quiet day here. Dh and I decided to go to a small Celtic festival in a small nearby town that is sort of in the mountainous area. We didn't stay long. The wind was crazy and then it started snowing. It was really more like heavy flurries, but still unexpected. Before we left I purchased a cute wooden bud vase from one of the vendors. I'm using it to hold the wire flower I got at the Chinese lantern festival.

I should probably go find something productive to do.

Sounds fun Charade before weather hit…snow needs to be gone now.



Dinner was lovely, nice and spicy and sweet too, my favourite.

Had a nice couple of cocktails and now settling down to watch another Billy Connolly dvd…..funniest guy on the planet if you’re Scottish and get him.

Only have two clocks to manually move forward tonight, everything else does it automatically and thankfully the car does it itself too……

Don‘t plan to go to bed any earlier tonight, plan to watch a couple of these dvd’s before we head to bed…….

 

[macraven]

Just a quick drive by to read up on how the homies are doing…

Sounds like all are doing good.

All fine for me and zoning out on the news tonight
and world events

My cats are fed and the food I give them is never enough
I’m starting to realize they eat more than me.
It’s the kitty treats they beg for as they decided they prefer that over real cat food

Yep, doing good here mac.......your cats look lovely and very healthy so whatever you feed them, it`s working!





Slept like a top last night, haven`t noticed that time change yet......

Today, A Happy Mother`s Day to all mummies in the UK.......and anywhere else too of course........no plans to do much at all today, going out shopping this morning and will look for some clothes I think and I need new walking shoes.

Steaks for dinner tonight, I won`t be cooking so it`ll be a nice surprise what comes with them....I`m being cooked for tonight! Then will watch the F1 GP.

 

[Lynne G]

A very happy Mother’s Day to you Schumi.

And a very happy Mother’s Day to Julie. Hope all are doing well.

And to all our other UK mum’s, a very happy Mother’s Day.

It’s a Sunday. Day of rest. Yeah. Alarm already set, and trash to be rolled to the curb by later in the evening. And have no idea other than older one said we need to stock the kitchen pantry more so that is the agenda for today. Therefore, grocery shopping is about the only errand I think I need to do. He works today, so may go solo to get food, or maybe little one will come. My carts are usually much more full when I’m with older one more than with little one. Eh, with both kids night owls, I don’t expect to see them for a few more hours. Depending on when I feel like moving, solo may be the better choice, as earlier travel, and inside the grocery store, should be more quiet in the earlier mornings. Will check when the one place I like to go is open. Should be soon. And so, if I do. At least I can say it’s mostly sunny out right now. And. close to freezing. Sigh. But car heater works well, and seats get warm not too long after they get turned on. And yeah, lightweight winter coat is not put away, so rocking those shades, as hoping those clouds stay away for awhile. Weather guy said will be a partly sunny morning, with a very windy, cloud covered afternoon. Chance of a rain shower around lunchtime too. Wind chills will make ya think this is Spring? Brr, a little.

Thus, a most serene Sunday. Hope it finds all doing well, and having or had a good morning.

Good Sunday morning Sans family

I was thinking about something you said yesterday to someone......you and mac are responsible for so many of us learning to navigate HHN......I know mac has "hand held" a few when they started going to the event and you both have passed on tremnedous knowledge along the way.......we do appreciate you both a lot for taking the time over the years helping many of us!! Thank you to macraven and you.......

You are right Carole, Mac has been an incredible source of help to everyone who is seeking information and direction on HHN. She helped me a lot when I decided to go to HHN.

Keisha has been great on setting up the sticky for HHN every year and keeping us all informed. That is a big job and very appreciated my everyone.

Thank you Mac and Keisha for all you do to help all of us HHN fans.

Happy Mother’s Day to you Carole



Congratulations Charade on signing up for a few classes. It’s never to late to achieve a goal you have set for yourself.

Mac hope the dental work is done and you are healing.

Lynne you are on the ball. You have already signed up for a private Tour. for HHN. I need to decide when I’am going and just make the reservations and change if needed.

I will look at calendar and make reservations today.


Shout out to a Tink, Lori and to all our Sans family who don’t post anymore or who post infrequently. You are missed.


Have a wonderful Sunday Sans family.

 

[macraven]

Robbie you always post such cute pictures in your posts
Especially for the holidays !

i am always impressing with how you can jazz up our threads

I told Mr Mac the other day he needs to start celebrating Mother’s Day for me twice
First for March/April whichever month it falls on for the motherland and then again in May for the states mom day celebration…

I looked and did not see any card on the kitchen counter
Lol
He needs to be reprogrammed again

 

[keishashadow]

Enjoy! Carole, sit back and let yourself be pampered today


Inch of snow on ground, coming down heavy…can’t wait to get out of Dodge in a week to warmer climes.

think i picked up the GD’s bug when she landed here earlier this week, milder tho, must’ve met it before in passing. will move a little slower crossing off today’s to-do list: making the mr cinnamon rolls, cutting his hair, trimming the dog (different clippers lol) & jr over for the first real ‘cook out’ of the season. My time is nothing but imprecise, good thing boots not stored away yet.

Robbie - i do love checking in here & seeing the minions! Hope you & the mr Are continuing to feel better every day!

I don't think bringing a minor to Vegas is a good idea. It seems it would be sort of boring for them.

Always a challenge to avoid the dudes on the strip handing out the ahem trading cards. However, I do think it all depends on the family and how they tend to roll. We don’t exactly run with the wild crowd there, gambling isn’t the focus of the trip for us.

we would wait until they were tweens, pick a resort with great pools (mandalay or MGM generally). The kids enjoyed the various buffets, touring the strip icons/touristy traps stuff & doing the more family friendly Circ shows. Oddly, they’d clamor to do the monorail, repeatedly

Often, would combine with either overnight trip to stay on rim of Grand Canyon & Hoover dam tour. generally, just a quickie few days for us before heading on west to do U/Knotts/DL.

Our schools, city, and county have removed their requirements/suggestions for masks. We didn't have a single hospitalization due to covid last week. It's the first time since March 2020!

you still can’t venture into a dr office here without one. Hospitalization is indeed down, infections are rising re reported cases. Do they do waste water tests in your area, sadly it doesn’t lie. appears many of the cases are mild enough people aren’t reporting them.

Additionally, the federal subsidies for treatment etc. is/has ended, a large section of population won’t be able to afford the pricey treatment to try to avoid hospitalization unless they send them home with complimentary anti-virals when they present themselves to the ERs. hope they work that out, quickly

If you fly Delta, they require all to be masked while in their lobby and during flights.

i applaud them for their policy.

it’s a TSA mandate, extended to 4/18. No word yet on whether it will be extended. at the very least, voluntary masking (even double) will still exist afterwards.

the wire flower I got at the Chinese lantern festival.

Intriguing, i’m trying to picture that. Have you posted a pic of it?

funniest guy on the planet if you’re Scottish and get him.

he translates great, well, when he talks slowly Remember enjoying him in the Muppets pirate flick ages ago.

I’m starting to realize they eat more than me.

 

[Charade67]

Quick hello while I am waiting for Dh to get ready for church.

And have no idea other than older one said we need to stock the kitchen pantry more so that is the agenda for today. Therefore, grocery shopping is about the only errand I think I need to do.

This is us today too. I keep saying I won’t wait until Sunday to grocery shop, but every week I still manage to procrastinate.

Congratulations Charade on signing up for a few classes. It’s never to late to achieve a goal you have set for yourself.

Thanks Robo. I’m a little nervous about starting back again.

think i picked up the GD’s bug when she landed here earlier this week, milder tho, must’ve met it before in passing. will move a little slower crossing off today’s to-do list:

Hope it passes soon.

Ugh. The one thing I really hate about Vegas.

I don’t think I did. Here it is.






Happy Mother’s Day to Carole.

 

[Lynne G]

Very pretty flower, Charade. Yeah, I can do grocery shopping almost any day, but it seems to always be on Sunday. And a good day, today, as then I clear the pantry and refrigerator of items, as trash day filling for us. I actually like a Monday trash pick up day. Though the cans will sometimes be quite full by the weekend.

Well, older one is ready to get out the door. Exactly almost 4 hours after his dad did. And so, will soon be a little one and me time. Did ask if she was getting ready, a half hour ago. I have yet to see her. She will be disappointed, as not the day to wear your shorts. Well, older one may still be in shorts. He doesn’t change much into pants.

Ack, Keisha. Yeah, always got sick when my kids started school. Think all our immunities are decent, as not as sick as used to be when they were little. Hope you feel better soon. Sending mummy dust get well wishes across the state to you.

Ooh do I need to do that like poke the bear proverb? Mom holler will be commencing soon. I decided wash and a very long shower was more important than a solo earlier grocery trip. But as getting that time the menus switch to lunch menus, I think little one may be getting moving hopefully soon. See, as a drive through lunch may be the price of riding shotgun, or that not so relaxing passenger, whose break pedal doesn’t work. LoL .

Aw shucks thanks......and you found a meme that says MUM and not mom.....I know Americans don`t use mum anywhere over there.......

Hope you feel better and fight that nasty bug too! Kids do love to share don`t they.......

We have friends who have taken kids to Vegas, again like you gambling isn`t their focus and they all loved the trip. Loved the Dam experience more than anything else I believe and also went zip lining too.

Yes, your next trip is just around the corner!!!

Happy Mother’s Day to Carole.

Thank you Charade.....and that is a vibrant blue, very pretty, I don`t think I`ve seen that before.




Having a lovely day here....sun is still shining and it is lovely till you step out of the sun and into the shade.....chilly!! Rain forecast this week ahead.

Managed to buy my new walking shoes, will wear them tomorrow, got 2 new dresses and some bits and bobs and came home to some rather lovely Mother`s Day gifts.......❤❤❤

Called my mum too of course......

I`m not allowed through to the kitchen or dining room, so hoping they`re all managing...dinner is a little early so we can all sit down and watch the Grand Prix at 6 tonight.......I don`t mind........it`ll be lovely I`m sure.

Hope your Sunday is a good one........

Those guys don't bother me much. We gamble sometimes, but we tend to go to upscale restaurants and hang out at the hotel bars. I think DS would be bored with that. We've done the dam tour (I love saying that ).

I have an appointment tomorrow. It's the first since they removed the city/county mask suggestion. However, the doctor's office does require a mask, which is no problem for me. They don't do the waste water testing here all the time, just randomly.

 

[keishashadow]

Taping TWD & watching the Oscars for fashion. Not impressed

don’t think I did. Here it is.

Never seen anything like it, very pretty

Think all our immunities are decent

Thanks feeling much better after a nice, hot bubble bath. My go to for most of life’s ills

I figure now that masks mostly off the usual minor suspects may be better able to take hold

but we tend to go to upscale restaurants and hang out at the hotel bars. I think DS would be bored with that. We've done the dam tour (I love saying that ).

I’m with your DS. Find the few fancy places we’ve tried there just not our cuppa along with the nightclubs. Wouldn’t touch the cheap buffets (especially now), we tend to stick with our favs there. In my mind it had something for everyone

for us, it Will be nice when things do finally reach some level of consistency & predictably re travel planning in general

I haven`t caught up with much except for the Will Smith/Chris Rock incident.......I had barely heard of some of the movies up for awards this year apart from Belfast which doesn`t appeal to me anyway........

Love a good soak in a bubble bath.....haven`t had one in a while. Yes, it`s a good way to chill out.




Darker this morning with the clock change for us at the weekend, but it doesn`t last long then we`re back to bright mornings. I`m always amazed at how quickly it gets dark/light in Florida compared to us.....in the summer we barely get completely dark during the peak, very different continents for sure.

Walking this morning is a go......not going to be as sunny as it has been, but won`t rain till this afternoon so will make the most of it and head out before picking up some fresh produce for next couple of days.

No idea what we`ll have for dinner tonight, last night`s was wonderful....my bunch certainly made a fuss and cooked us all a lovely Mother`s Day meal and they did it well with some nice touches and it was appreciated for sure. Might get some salmon for us maybe.

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, a morning where tea is certainly needed, Schumi.

We are at a below freezing temp, as a clear sky and 22 degrees out. Poor plants. But the 5 day forecast is just crazy. Snow showers today, and tomorrow, and 74 degrees with more wet on appropriately, Thirsty Thursday. But hard freezes the next two overnights too. Saying even colder tomorrow, with my thermometer saying maybe even 19 or 20 for that Taco Tuesday. So, a cool and below average temps, as we end this March month. Think we had a warmer start this month, so I guess the saying is right. In like a lamb, out like a lion. At least the seeing of flurries are okay. No snow totals are being expected today and tomorrow.

But today, with a clear sky so far, will be a glorious, very early Spring sunrise in about another hour. Then the clouds blow in, and like that lovable Pooh saying, a most blustery day. Hold on to your hats, and little Roo or Piglet. Oh, and bad hair day alert too.

Ah yes, a Monday feeling day for sure. Had to catch up with being a relaxing Friday. But routine week day I am.

And this, after hair was blowing around yesterday in some ack, that’s cold feeling wind, had to look at calendar. Salon visit is next week. Looking forward to it. Little one got 5 inches cut off, last time. So she said she won’t need a salon visit for almost a year. Was past her waist. And when hair that long, good to get rid of the oldest part. Though have to say, when that air still humid with the rain the day before, puffy hair was flying around in that cold feeling wind yesterday.

And so, other than the weather, not much news. Routine week, and looking forward to warmer days. And hoping our law in time change says will stay on standard time, and not daylight. Daylight time in the middle of winter? Won’t see the sun for hours in the mornings. And yeah, nice when visiting Florida. Daylight always longer there, than where I am. Daylight time or not.

Marvelous Monday homies. Kinda appropriate, April Fool’s Day is a Friday. April coming this week. Yay!

 

[macraven]

Good morning homies
Hope your cold spell of weather changes soon!

i know how miserable it can be

I go back for more dental work today
I’ll be happy when it is all completed

I do like to get out of the house but dental work somehow does not qualify as a fun outing for me
Lol

I’m still watching the walking dead series, last night was much better than usual
I’ll most likely watch the encore of it later again

When the Sopranos show was on, it dragged in a few episodes also

But can’t recall very much if that series anymore

Hope all have a great day!

I thought it was tomorrow you had the dentist?? I think I have brain fade this week.....thank goodness I don`t have a job to do.......lol.......

Yes, dentists visits aren`t considered a fun day out......have a good one though.....






Enjoyed a 7 mile walk with my new walking shoes......exact same pair as before, but they were so comfy I wanted the same ones, was glad to see they had them.

Just finished lunch, was a tasty seared ahi tuna salad, bought a lovely very fresh piece of tuna and thought it would be ideal for lunch. Nice, and perfectly rare throughout just as we like it.

Not the nicest of days now, and decided to make some home made pizzas for dinner tonight, mine will be spicy!

 

[Lynne G]

Hope all goes well on your dentist visit, Mac. Yeah, not a fun outing at all.

 

[macraven]

I always have to take 4 antibiotics one hour before I sit in the dentist chair.
I have some medical issues and can’t have work done if I fail to take those “ horse” pills

Received a call minutes prior to when I was to take the meds that my appointment had to be canceled.

Dentist’s sister passed and he canceled all appointments for the next two weeks
Believe his sister was 52.

His mother passed last year and it was especially hard for him at that time

 

[Pumpkin1172]

quick Monday morning stop in!

A busy weekend, but much too short! With bil and his fiance visiting for the weekend, it was a busy weekend. Dh and his sister and her husband has planned to be curling all weekend, so while they were busy curling in various events, I was out and about this bil and fiance. His fiance and I were out shopping most of Saturday. I came home with a couple new tops to wear for work. Had some yummy meals out as well too. It was great to get to visit with them.

At least he has the time to be with his mom. Mine is now gone almost 2 years. It’s the times you spend, and chatting on the phone or screen, with the ones you love, is important. And thankfully, with a new highway constructed while we were dating, my MIL is only about an hour drive away. And at this time of day, more like 40 minutes, or a few less. It’s anywhere from around 15 to 30 minutes to get to the entrance to that highway, as all stop and go traffic through neighborhoods. One lane roads, with many stop lights along the way.

It's great that he gets to visit with his mom regularly. Dh's mom passed coming up 8 yrs now. Dh's dad lives in the same town as us, and it's great we regularly get to visit with him. My parents live about 700 miles from us. So we don't get to just hop in and visit often - but do chat regularly. But it is nearly not the same as being to regularly visit. It's hard when the mom passes away. Mom's are the glue to hold families together, and they are the soft place to land when life gets hard. I know we definitely miss dh's mom. Especially when there is another milestone hit - and you are reminded again how much Mom would have loved to been there.

Canadian geese are fun to watch when they are choosing and defending for a mate. Huge birds. And oddly, there are many of them now, but soon won’t be. We have both resident ones, that stay year round, and migrating ones that enjoy our winter seasons instead of however North they live. I do think many of the birds that stay year round, and some that have been arriving now, build nests in the same trees or around same area every year.

I was super happy to see our Canadian cobras sitting in the fields here again. They must have arrived this past week...as they were not here a week ago.

eriously, I am so over snow for the season. Had just blown out my hair this am with the new device I got, one of those brush type ones (love it btw). pooch was visibly anxious to go outside to do his business. Out i went without a coat without looking out the window. Had to run back in to grab a jacket to shield my hair from frizzing as it was snowing nooooo

I hear you on both of those!!! I'm soooooooooo ready for spring to arrive. I'm sure Mother Nature will blast us with at least one or two more snow storms yet. Today was forecasted for some snow/rain mix
I have one of those dryer/brush combos as well. I love mine! But I also have naturally curly hair. When I use this, I barely have to use my flat iron after. It just makes it sooo smooth and doesn't get very tangled either after I use it. But during the week, I don't usually have the extra time it takes to straighten my hair. So I tend to only use that on weekends if we have a special occasion.

Maybe a few more Chinese restaurants No joke, we had a reputable one a few years back get caught by county health department, serving them up as Peking duck. Thankfully, the closed them outright.

OH MY Yikes...good thing that is not something we have ever ordered.

I don't think bringing a minor to Vegas is a good idea. It seems it would be sort of boring for them. I don't know when we will get back to Vegas; we have a backlog of vacations at this point. We do have a cruise in July that's a carry-over from summer 2020 and booked another for summer 2023 for our 25th anniversary.

I would probably agree with you. I am in the camp of there are some places where you shouldn't take children. I think if they were older, and able to do some of the more touristy things...then by all means. I am one of those people who feels that children don't need to be doing things that are maybe best done as an adult.

oday, A Happy Mother`s Day to all mummies in the UK.......and anywhere else too of course........no plans to do much at all today, going out shopping this morning and will look for some clothes I think and I need new walking shoes.

Happy Belated Mum's Day to you!!!! I'm glad you were spoiled!

Managed to buy my new walking shoes, will wear them tomorrow, got 2 new dresses and some bits and bobs and came home to some rather lovely Mother`s Day gifts.......❤❤❤

Called my mum too of course......

I`m not allowed through to the kitchen or dining room, so hoping they`re all managing...dinner is a little early so we can all sit down and watch the Grand Prix at 6 tonight.......I don`t mind........it`ll be lovely I`m sure.

I seen you broke in the new shoes with a walk. I am the same as you in regards to buying the same item you are replacing. Breaking in new shoes can be troublesome as times. I hate that break in period.

Dentist’s sister passed and he canceled all appointments for the next two weeks
Believe his sister was 52.

How sad. I hope you get your dental work completed soon.

Well, I should get started and start shuffling some papers - since they don't sort by themselves.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Sue M]

Quiet day today at work. There is not much for me to do.

Went looking and found a decent price on a room at Royal Pacific and tickets for early December. I want to pull the trigger and book (as I could always cancel) as they have a Canadian Resident Rate. Or...I could do the cheaper and go with Endless Summer with a 2 bedroom suite for half the price and 2 bedrooms. I'll have to think a little about it. I know what I really want...but what the wallet may need are two different things

I think I will hold off a few more days. Dh's brother...the bil and his fiance are visiting this weekend spur of the moment. I have a feeling they may be making a announcement that they have finally picked a wedding date. They had called dd to ask her details about planning their destination wedding. She doesn't want to plan much and is very worried about the virus and her dad - who has lots of health complications right now. I have a feeling this is the route they will go, and just plan to fly to her hometown to have the "official" hitching date in front of a justice of the peace and her immediate family (mostly her dad and close family members. I guess we will wait and see what they have planned.

What? Where do you see Canadian discount?
