Something About Nothing...........#8

[bubba's mom]

showing off all the grass eh?

we're supposed to finally break 30 degrees this weekend today, im hoping to see some of that green stuff peek out under what is now mostly hard-packed ice.

only in the 30s?

we're starting in the 50s ...and staying there all week don't hate me!

Meltin is lookin good Bonny....would you believe we have even LESS snow left?! It's nutz

 

[marciemi]

All right, I'll post my snow pics as well. We've had very little snow this winter, but all of this snow left here is STILL from the blizzard we had Dec 8 - nearly 3 months ago. Temps in the upper 30's to lower 40's are actually finally melting it. Still lots of snow in this pic:

But look --- you can see the grass here!

And the snow is off the roads so you can actually bike or run:

Someday it may all be gone - hopefully not by this evening though since I'm heading out skiing! Everyone have a great weekend!

is it saturday evening already............

 

[circelli]

hey there everyone
I hope you all are having a GREAT weekend
Has anyone been to A Great Wolf Lodge before?
My parents, sister, boys and I are going next week when my DH is working in Mexico!!!

 

[Mad Hattered]

It's already 62 degrees here at 11:30! I just loaded the bbq grill into the trunk and we are headed to a State Park to do some hiking and eating!

Yep...it's fun.

Warm weekend...in the 50s...taking Max for a family walk

We're back from a wonderful day. We drove 30 miles south to Washington State Park and did some grillin' and chillin'.

I made up a marinade of Walkerswood Jamaican Jerk paste and olive oil and threw some skinless chicken breasts in. We also took some romaine hearts and yellow squash to throw on the grill. We got our grill set up and sat back and enjoyed the view. We are at a tiny stone pavilion approx 250-300 feet above the valley and river below.

Here are a couple of shots off the cliff edge. It's much more beautiful during the spring and summer...but we'll take an upper 60's day when we can get one.

Really hard at work doing what I love to do. And with a decent view to boot...sounds like a plan...

Mmmmmmmmm....food!

After lunch we packed up and drove to the bottom of the valley pictured in the pics above. We then hiked the 1,000 Step Trail to a stone pavillion perched over a bluff.

Just to prove that we HAVE had bitterly cold temps this winter....here is a frozen waterfall off one of the bluffs...

This is a shot from that pavillion back to the one we were on top of when we grilled lunch. I zoomed in as much as I could...

Soooooo.......that's what we did today. But last night we had an Amittyville Horror flashback. For no apparent reason, we had Jodie the pig show up on our front porch!!

Hattered looks like A beautiful day,and great scenary to boot.I bet the valley is gorgoues in the summer.
You and I have the samething in common,we love too BBQ!!

The weather has been great here this weekend.I got the cold my kids had for over A week or I would be cooking on the grill today also.Next time I BBQ i'll post some pics!!

That midnight hog on the porch looks scary...
We got them here also.

Hey, all.

Happy Monday! Is there such a thing?

DH discovered a great new diet and has lost 20+ pounds in three weeks. I've kind of been doing it and lost 5 this week.

All we're doing is eating a lot more fiber. That's it. Fills you up, digests slowly, keeps you from getting hungry. Why didn't we try this before?

Nice to see the weather warming up again. Love all the pics!

don't you just hate that men can lose weight so easily? Life's just not fair...

I've been on a diet since the doc said, "I see you've gained a little Christmas weight..." That was one week ago. Mind you, I was there exactly same time last yr and he didn't say that. Want to be a Totally Hot Universal Goddess by summer Here's to thinking skinny thoughts.

Afternoon all ... Happy Monday

 

[minniejack]

what would you all do??

here's the scenario: One niece, from the side of the family that doesn't include us in anything and won't even speak to us while we are in the same room, had a baby out of wedlock one year ago. Of the entire family, I do half like her. Now, she is getting married on the day we leave for Disney.

I've already rearranged my trip, including all dining ressies to that week in anticipation of school starting earlier next yr.

Wasn't even told of her plans until I mentioned to MIL about Disney.

Oh and the Disney trip hits both of my kids birthdays--whereas changing it will not. And rearranged for cross country schedules

Would you all try to rearrange the trip, yet again. Or just be thankful that me and my kids don't have to pretend to even remotely like them while they treat us like dirt and basically snarl anything at us when we are around???

She'd be getting a postcard from Disney explaining how sorry you were for missing her wedding!!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

There are some awesome wedding ornaments in the Christmas store at Downtown Disney. I would make it a point to pick one up, as a special present she could not get anywhere else. You could even personalize it...
