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

[Lynne G]

Deluxe studio, with a street view. Still raining, so we left our luggage in the car. If it stops raining, we will walk to DS to search for a sweet treat and a nice cup of coffee. And then retrieve our luggage.

Hope all have a good Thursday night. Friday will be a suffer view in the afternoon. Yay!

Hello and happy first day of summer. I am so not looking forward to our weather next week.

I think it’s going to be cooler in Florida.

Hey all, raining so much here I should just put my mask & snorkel on

We’ve had quite a bit of rain here too. I’m going to need to get the “lawn guy” out soon. He’s a neighborhood teenager, but does a great job on the lawn. He has aspirations to open a landscaping business.

Deluxe studio, with a street view.

Not too bad for a street view. Hope you don’t get too much rain this week.


It’s Friday so that means laundry and errands for me.

Deluxe studio, with a street view

Have only been there a handful of times. Those trees help with the privacy aspect. We’ve had studio views no more than 50 feet from bus stop. Noisy, we called it our wake up call each AM lol

So, are we hitting up a different view tomorrow?

Not too bad for a street view. Hope you don’t get too much rain this week.

Yes, we’ve had some dogs over the years there. My mindset there is no “bad view” as you are on vacation. For me, the noise factor is far bigger impediment.

He’s a neighborhood teenager, but does a great job on the lawn. He has aspirations to open a landscaping business.

Nice to see he has some thoughts above his future, so many kids don’t give it a 2nd thot until their senior year, then panic sets in.

The ‘lil & family did the reading food terminal yesterday (loved) and were pretty much stuck inside their downtown hotel in Phillie as to the heavy storms in the afternoon/evening. Good thing they had nice club spread. Looks like so many of yesterday’s track events delayed, her late afternoon time will probably morph into the evening to try to get caught up. Hopefully, Saturday’s event will be on time. She got a ton of nice swag from New Balance this year. So few events give the invitees much of anything, a very nice gesture. Guessing, it helps get those from all over the country to vie for the invites lol.

time to take the pooches out to grab some fresh air, then look at my vac packing list to see what needs refreshed. Trying to go light(er) this trip, packed waaay too many bags last go-around.

Have a Good Friday all!

Good Friday morning everyone

Ah, kids are home, as took DH to his appt. He’s hoping to walk without help at the end of this round of rehab. I really hope he does. But for now, he pushes that wheelie cart, he can sit on, when he’s tired. Not using the wheelchair as much, thankfully. This wheelie is easier to toss in the back of the car., than that wheelchair.

Lynne hope your hubby continues to improve and reaches his goal of no walker.

I think I will start a countdown until my next trip.

200 days!

Good to start your countdown. Something to look forward to.

Ran up to country store this am, grabbed bunch of tbonz, porterhouse, along with pork loin & a coupe of chuck roasts. Keep saying I’m going to let the chest freezer empty out & defrost it…but no, just can’t resist a good sale. Bonus points the new Bealls is in same area, got a cute skort.

Sounds like you scored in the meat department.

The ‘lil on her way to New Balance Nationals, competes tomorrow & Saturday. They’ve been in Phillie serveral times for various competitions have done most of the sites. Had to laugh after I asked what she was most looking forward to there (other than the competition) and her reply was: “the hotel’s club lounge”. Well, ok then!

To cute……the youngsters are so honest in their response to things. They must have a good club lounge at the hotel.

Good luck to her as she competes tomorrow.

Oh, IDK, just slow. Would hate to see the thread wither on the vine.

Me too.

Like the Swiftie bracelets? Sounds fun, be sure to share a pic

A little more elevated then the normal Swiftie kind. I will share a picture when I’am done with them.


I have a massage appt this morning.

Then I pick little J up for some fun time with my little buddy. I will let him decide on what he wants to do today.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, yes, Keisha, the Reading Terminal Market, hope they picked up a cannoli and cheesecake from Termini’s. Yeah, saw my area had an awesome thunderstorm line come yesterday. Older one said power is out in some places this morning, but we never lost power, thankfully.

Ah, the smell of salt water.

 

[Charade67]

Caspian was going nuts, scratching at the back door. I got up to see what was bothering him. We had visitors.

 

[VicksMc]

Hey youse,13 sleeps till I’m ower the water.

Awfy excited for Epic. We aren’t putting too much stress on it,we will ride what we can ride. We are excited just to wander round and eat.

 

[Lynne G]

Enjoyed the gardens and zoo in Nassau. Was hot hot hot out.

And what nice weather we had on our cruise. Last night looked like this, as we left Castaway Cay. Beach was hot, water warm.



Now onto some park fun days before we leave.

Will say, walking out of the ship around 7:15 am, no line at security, fast picture, have a nice day. No need for any showing of passport. And parking at the port was easy too.

Now here, chilling before our room ready:


Quick ride, took us an hour to get to the Target in Millennium. Got there, grabbed some drink and snacks for our room. Then quick down I 4, to park in the lime garage around 9:25.

All open now, so wishing all a Most Marvelous Monday. And hehe, hotter at home than here.

Adrasta? Enjoyed it long ago, got to march with flamingos lol

Ah castaway cay, heavenly Will be there in 19 months, so far away lol

Did u do the adult beach? Still Offer steaks?

Have fun in Orlando!

Gave the pooch a short haircut this am & turned the turkey carcasses into chicken soup. I'm the weirdo who lives a home-made soup no matter the weather

It just broke 95, real feel 105 That's a new record here today. Don't laugh, too hot to bother going into pool for me

Charade wow that one buck has quite the rack! We seem to have all females roaming here this year

 

[Lynne G]

Nope, Keisha, no steaks, mediocre hamburgers or skinny not all white chicken on the bone. Did have fruit, that was good, and the potato salad was actually good. We ate at the taco place when we got back to the ship. As we did not enjoy that bbq on the adult beach. Did though, liked we could make our own ice cream cone. We ate those as we waited for the tram. Will say, was very low tide at the adult beach, and not as fun to swim in to knee high water as far as they let you go out.

Our view of our room after driving an hour to that Target, and some park fun, before room number given:

But as far from the elevator as almost possible. But we can walk. And yay for a balcony.

 

[keishashadow]

Our view of our room

Hmmm looks like the bushes at BWV

Well, that stinks re the lack of steak now boohoo & the shallow water! May just set up camp on far end of family beach if water is deeper & deal with Cookies buffet

I'll be back at Universal in August, third trip in 2025. Each trip is differently special, but this is probably the last trip with my adult son until years from now when there are grandkids. He used to hate theme parks, but he had a great time in 2021 and asked if he could go back while his girlfriend is spending time with her family. My youngest, a teenager, is also going. I thought we'd wait for Epic, but we changed our minds of course. We're big Nintendo fans.

My husband asked how the English lady is doing, because he predicted I'd be back on the diaboards now that I've booked the flight. He knows me.
