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

[keishashadow]

MKrose - never heard of that brew, interesting. u are lucky to be able to pull a relatively last minute trip together at WDW, park reservations can be a real bear. Seems to be lessening up a bit now. Would like to think that will soon be a thing of th past once the college program kids return to flush out the staffing requirements.

I’ll load up our bus and we all will join in for whiskey sips at Mrose’s house tomorrow!

i let Dave know his driving skills are required for a road trippee. Will keep him out of ‘my’ laundry room.

The ceramic fire pit I ordered him for Father’s Day finally came into stock for pickup today, Home Depot a good 40 miles RT away. Decided to turn it into date night. Other than the wake for my BiL, the first time we’ve dined in anywhere at home since the pandemic began!

had a lovely meal at Texas Roadhouse, then stopped nearby to pick up the huge box from Home Depot. I remember date nights

Decided to Let him open it up early once he lugged it to our back deck. Nice to see it so nicely wrapped up in layers of bubble wrap & cardboard inserts.

Too bad it was in a multiple pieces, looked like something out of an ancient excavation site Looks like another drive tomorrow to try to rectify that. may just pick a different sort of one, worried it might just be too fragile.

Hi friends,

I'm still here and doing well. Sorry for the lack of posting, but there are reasons. We are doing well, and healthy, thank God! And have just come back from a Disney/Uni trip.

I'm happy to say I LOVED Uni, and rode Hagrid's.... front seat, up on the bike. Holy-moly is that intense! We had a wonderful trip.

Hope everyone is well.

((hugs))

Hi Mck!!! Glad you are well!!

 

[Charade67]

Quick late night check in. I've been trying to finish errands and house cleaning before I head to SC on Monday. I'm not sure hw good my cell reception is where my mother lives. If it isn't good then I may not be able to post much next week. If it is good I might post a lot because I expect to be really bored there.

Wait, guys know how to do laundry?? LOL!!
DH had his mom do his laundry until we were married. And he wasn't living at home....
DH has many wonderful qualities, but laundry duty isn't one of them.

My husband does his own laundry. I rarely ever wash his clothes.

along with being a proud daughter of a US Army Vet, Korea,

My father served in Korea too. The Army is the reason I was born in Alaska.

I’ll load up our bus and we all will join in for whiskey sips at Mrose’s house tomorrow!

I can be the designated driver.

The ceramic fire pit I ordered him for Father’s Day finally came into stock for pickup today,

Dh would be envious, He has been wanting a fire pit ever since we moved into this house. I'm still not convinced we're ready for one. I hope you are able to get a good replacement.

I should get some sleep. It's almost Sunday.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, almost bedtime for me too, Charade.

Hey, McK, glad to see ya here, happy to hear all is well. Older one bought a whiskey that a celebrity owns, I think McGregor? Wrestling guy or boxer I think. Too lazy to ask him.

Light for tonight?



Well, light show in Potter land.

Have that very good night’s sleep. We get those isolated rain and/or thunderstorms in the overnight. Fine with me. At 9 pm tonight, was still 79 degrees out, and oh so muggy. AC has been running for quite awhile, before taking a break. Nice and not humid inside. Ahhh.

I really do need to get to bed. Worked on a new puzzle for a few minutes, but eh, will wait for more natural light.

Good Friday evening Sans family



Yep...,,we are keeping fingers and toes crossed.




Yes, wedding week from day tomorrow. All is falling into place. Seems like only yesterday I was rocking her In my arms. Now she is getting married.

Glad to hear you are getting good use of the AP. Universal is kind of addictive..LOL.....A good addiction to have.




They will enjoy all your planning.




The store looks awesome. Thanks for sharing the pictures.




Hope you are able to get a trip planned.




Great news.




Yeah to the double digit countdown. It will be here before you know it.

Nice beach pictures. Five miles is impressive. Love the memes.


I saw this a while ago and I loved it......LOL....I have been going to the gym just in case....LOL

Looks like everyone has been busy on the boards.

We have been roasting here for the past couple of days. We had 3 cooler days this past week then summer came full force in the mid 90’s. Can’t complain much though as we have had an unusual cool start to June comparably to years past.

Helping granddaughter with a few odds and ends for the wedding. We are all excited for their special day. Praying for a nice mild sunny day. Their wedding is outdoors and the reception is inside.

l watched my great-nephew today. He is going to be 20 months old the end of the month. He is the sweetest little fella. I do enjoy spending time with him. He likes doing his animal puzzle. Every time he gets to the skunk he laughs and says “skunk”. He is a joy to watch.

Son came by today to disconnect gas tank from grill for me and load it into SUV. I need to have it filled tomorrow for cookout for Father’s Day. I asked hubby what he wanted and he said burgers and hot dogs. So will make up some sides and a pineapple upside down cake. Looking forward to celebrating the dads on a Sunday.

Sounds like everyone is getting excited for HHN. You can tell by the fact that the hotels are filling up that it’s going to be busy. Let the Horror begin. Hope this year is awesome.

Have a great Friday evening everyone.

Less than a week now Robo.......it has come around so quickly and I know how excited you are to see them married. it`ll be a gorgeous ceremony I`m sure. And some baby time too.....can`t get better....

Hope you all have a lovely day today too......

Friday night check in


Lol, well, in truth they are function over form. My feet thank me every time I do wear them in


good for you! Hopefully, the arm will clear up


Who knew? Sounds like a fancy school

Oh, IDK, i’ve Seen some soccer fan skirmishes in the stands that curled my hair JK. You’ll have a great time




Answer to that is the new, best kept secret.


Moving forward!

We’ll add you to the list of ‘masters’ here, lots of s


Aw, that’s lovely to read.

Had 2nd assessment at PT today, range of motion is coming back nicely. Glad i kept up the exercises. Was told to order 3 more different brace combos today, one i had not supportive enough. Somewhere in there the therapist will find the right order of usage for my step down now that i’m Starting to transition into one for a few hours a day from the boot.

I was so excited to be allowed to drive for a mile earlier this week. Have increased it just a bit each day, everything is holding tight lol. Will call it a win.

Oh yes, Scotland/England have had some skirmishes over the years......some fun, some not so fun......but it was a lovely atmosphere on Friday night.....although i booed when Beckham appeared on the screen.......had no clue the guy two along from me had Beckham on his England shirt.....oops.....he did see the funny side!

That is good news on the foot improving, and getting to drive....oh yes.....it`s like getting your freedom back!

Glad PT is going well for you. Yes, doing the exercises is very important



I have a love/hate relationship with the 1st day of summer. I Love that we get the most sunlight of the entire year!! I also get quite bummed that each day after that we lose daylight as we head back to winter.


Wait, guys know how to do laundry?? LOL!!
DH had his mom do his laundry until we were married. And he wasn't living at home....
DH has many wonderful qualities, but laundry duty isn't one of them.





Two tiramisu desserts are complete and in the fridge until tomorrow when we head to the in-laws. I also boiled eggs today, and will make the filling for deviled eggs in the morning. Bringing 2 dozen of those along as well.

No matter how you celebrate, have a wonderful Father's Day tomorrow!!!

Sounds a lovely day for you too Lori.......yes, longest day is a mixed gift......I love the longer days, but having an amateur astronomer around......they love the dark nights.

Have a wonderful day at your in laws.......

Thanks all, for the nice wishes! I am chomping at the bit to share some good things that have been happening here over the past few months, but I can't right now. I hope you can understand. This forum, while helpful, is open to anyone to view. So even if we post something helpful, it can be taken the wrong way by people looking for the "wrong".

I'm still laying low, but very interested in what my homies are up to. Hope you all are well!
Our trip last month was very much last minute, not knowing who would come with us or how to plan accordingly. We did Uni and Disney and it was a blast! I saw the new dates for the Disney Halloween parties, but I don't think we will do it. We'll see, and it may be last minute planning like this last trip.

Looking forward to Father's Day tomorrow! I bought hubby the Hooten Young American Whiskey that we tried in Wine Bar George a few weeks ago! I'm not a whiskey person, but the story behind the guys who make it, along with being a proud daughter of a US Army Vet, Korea, I really appreciate what they've done. I'm excited for hubby to open it!
Be well, Be safe!
M

Yes, sadly there are pathetic little people who do seem to thrive on being a troll on forums. How sad that there are still people like that around.....I hope you get to share your happy news soon. Some of us here found the ignore button works wonders.....but you still have to question anyone and their mind set who goes out of their way to try and upset the applecart. You wonder why people bother.....It`s laughable really, but sounds like you are being careful. All good wishes to you mrose........

And again, hope you have a wonderful Father`s Day.........

I should get some sleep. It's almost Sunday.

I usually do all our laundry, but I`m here all the time anyway, they can do it of course but we always share the housework anyway, but to be honest I don`t mind laundry and I even don`t mind ironing......if I worked full time I`d certainly expect them all to do their share for sure.

Hope you have a safe journey down to see your mum and hope you get internet. Where my mum is it`s patchy, but the hotel has good internet.





Lovely weekend behind us. Friday night at our friends home was fabulous. And Scotland didn`t get humiliated by England, not that I watched much of it, some of us there just chatted and I was sat with one of my good friends and we had a good catch up. There were around 20 of us, some Scottish, some English and lots of banter, video on my phone of a group of us up singing Sweet Caroline among others and Mexican hats for some reason.......

Slept a little later than usual Saturday as we didn`t get home till around 1.30ish, but still made the hair salon for 10am. Just a cut and blow dry. A couple of our friends popped over last night for a couple of hours just for a catch up, I felt quite rude yawning most of the night, but they left around 11.30.

Lazy day today, French Grand Prix is on, might watch some of that and Father`s Day dinner here is Prime Rib again......it was requested, so he`s got it. But, we have some rain here today, not sure if it`s going to last all day today.....

Bacon on the go today again........

Have a wonderful Sunday folks ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, that Sunday feeling. Yep, a good and bad day in weather, being the longest day, and having to start the week day routine tomorrow. Yeah, weekend ends the same night Spring ends. And Summer has certainly arrived. Was 90 degrees out yesterday, oh so muggy, and rain on and off from late afternoon until early this morning. But as any Summer day, another most glorious sunny start. And at 8 o’clock, it’s already 73 degrees out. Yep, our Father’s Day will also be steamy, with a 90 degree high. But Summer is being nice, and while more clouds today, predicted to bring no rain today. See, Summer’s first full day on Monday, will also be hazy hot and humid, with the heat wave third day at 90 degrees. But that heat wave is to be ended fast. Tuesday is predicted to be rainy and 75 the high. I think little one will be happy, most of the weekdays this week will see highs in the 70’s and low 80’s. Well, but for her first day sweaty and hot.

And so the weather report.

Glad to hear Schumi had fun with friends last night and this morning too. I hope flights open for you soon. On my local news, city airport was opening flights to some European airports, though no mention of British ones. I hope to see ya in September. Maybe by the end of the Summer, borders will open.

Charade, safe travels tomorrow. I hope your visit with mom goes wonderfully.

And so, our typical Sunday. A happy older one gets a work day break, but for the rest of us, a back to routine ready day. And one we also all get the trash out. I like a Monday trash pickup. Nice to have the weekend to fully fill the trash cans up.

And typical Sunday morning. Sun has been shining, though clouds to start by lunchtime. And tea and remote are in hands, with a quiet house. Peaceful.

And so, peaceful is the perfect description for a Sunday. Thus, Peaceful Sunday homies. And have to say, WOOT! Welcome to Summer for those of us above the equator. Woot!

 

[Lynne G]

Oh, and a very happy Father’s Day to all the homie fathers.


While my dad has been gone for almost 30 years now, I fondly remember him loving to watch on the TV professional golf. All of us were taught to play golf. So thanks dad.

Nope, shopping was our fun this morning....last two nights were with friends.

Glad you`re having such lovely weather and a nice day ahead......



Father`s Day has been a big success so far. I made breakfast and then he got his gifts from Kyle which were much appreciated........Kyle always manages to surprise us with some wonderful gifts we never expect. So Tom is happy.

Prime Rib is in and will slowly roast away all afternoon......making daupinoise potatoes and some roasted veg.

Lovely lazy Sunday

Good Sunday Morning Sans family




A very happy Father’s Day to all the San’s dad’s and hubby’s. May your day be extra special as your families celebrate you.

Robo, I hope to see ya at the end of September. Hehe, I guess I’d better walk some more. Will cross fingers and ties that weather is beautiful for the wedding day. Wedding wishes mummy dust sent. And grilling for Father’s Day is certainly a good dinner choice. DH will have to go to his mom’s on Sunday, so we will celebrate on Monday. He’s not one who wants anything. Steaks on the grill if the weather holds this Sunday.

Thank you Lynne for the good wedding wishes.

Had 2nd assessment at PT today, range of motion is coming back nicely. Glad i kept up the exercises. Was told to order 3 more different brace combos today, one i had not supportive enough. Somewhere in there the therapist will find the right order of usage for my step down now that i’m Starting to transition into one for a few hours a day from the boot.

I was so excited to be allowed to drive for a mile earlier this week. Have increased it just a bit each day, everything is holding tight lol. Will call it a win.

Sounds like they have you on the right track. Hope things fall into to place all around and your foot gets back to park shape. There is a clown named Jack calling your name for HHN......LOL....JACK is back.

Feel better soon dear lady.

Wow, the big day is almost here!! Your excitement is palpable! I hope your granddaughter has the absolute best day possible.....please share some photos of the day!

Thank you Lori. We are all so excited for them. I will share some photos.

We will be seeing DH's grandma....She will be at DH parents house for Father's Day. DH is very excited to see his beloved grandma!! Best 'gift' he could get
She's such an awesome lady, and we cherish any amount of days we have left with her! (She's a spunky one at 94, but nobody lives forever)

What a wonderful celebration for your hubby and all of you to get to spend time with his grandma. Have a lovely day with the family.

Aww, they are cute at 20 months old, Robo. Soon I will have another great niece or nephew. Niece is more than ready to have her third child born

Congratulations to your niece on the upcoming arrival I Of a new baby. I know you are all excited for her.

And do what my mom asked we do after she was gone. We could not before, as sadly, she passed away last Spring, and while us siblings got together to say goodbye, we all left after, masked and had stood distant. So all extended family, including my 3 nieces and nephew, and 5, soon to be 6 total, 3 great nieces and 2 great nephews, will all be enjoy eating ice cream. My mom always enjoyed eating it, so we will be sure to remember her and eat ice cream by all the family this time, not masked and with hugs. And hoping for a hot and steamy weather this coming holiday. As would be eating ice cream while relaxing in the pool.

It has been a hard year of loss and change for sure Lynne. Having to say goodbye to loved ones in such an isolated way is sad.

It is so nice that you and your family are remembering your mom by celebrating her life together.

Morning all. Getting ready to tackle a surprising number of ‘clean’ laundry baskets that need sorted. The mr has spare time on his hands/on a laundry kick. If it’s not nailed down into the washer it goes. I may hide the tide pods

My hubby does the laundry sometimes too. He mixes bright colors and whites together at times. I have thrown my hands up and given in at this point. I know he is trying to help.

Two tiramisu desserts are complete and in the fridge until tomorrow when we head to the in-laws. I also boiled eggs today, and will make the filling for deviled eggs in the morning. Bringing 2 dozen of those along as well.

Tiramisu sounds yummy. I’am sure all will enjoy your delicious dessert.

This forum, while helpful, is open to anyone to view. So even if we post something helpful, it can be taken the wrong way by people looking for the "wrong".

Sorry you feel you can’t share your good news, but we will celebrate with you that all the good things that are happening for you continue.

Our trip last month was very much last minute, not knowing who would come with us or how to plan accordingly. We did Uni and Disney and it was a blast

Sounds like you had a wonderful time.

Looking forward to Father's Day tomorrow! I bought hubby the Hooten Young American Whiskey that we tried in Wine Bar George a few weeks ago! I'm not a whiskey person, but the story behind the guys who make it, along with being a proud daughter of a US Army Vet, Korea, I really appreciate what they've done. I'm excited for hubby to open it!
Be well, Be safe!

Sounds like your hubby will be happy with your special gift for him. Thank you to your Dad for his service to his country. Being the proud daughter of a Army Vet is awesome.

had a lovely meal at Texas Roadhouse, then stopped nearby to pick up the huge box from Home Depot. I remember date nights

Texas Roadhouse has the best steaks. Date nights are nice.

Too bad it was in a multiple pieces, looked like something out of an ancient excavation site Looks like another drive tomorrow to try to rectify that. may just pick a different sort of one, worried it might just be too fragile.

Sorry to hear his gift was in pieces, but maybe on the road trip to get another gift for him a stop for another steak will be in order.

Quick late night check in. I've been trying to finish errands and house cleaning before I head to SC on Monday. I'm not sure hw good my cell reception is where my mother lives.

Sounds like you have a wonderful day planned to celebrate Tom for Father’s Day. You always have such nice meals planned and I’am sure you will all make him feel special today.


It’s quiet in the house this morning. Hubby is still sleeping. The sun is shinning and 90 is the predicted high today.

I saw lightening bugs in the back hard yesterday evening for the first time this year. I remember when M was 2 we would catch lightening bugs and put them in a jar with holes in the lid and grass inside. Then once we had collected a lot of them she would unscrew the lid and let them all fly out at once. My little princess loves bugs.

I asked hubby what he wanted for his Father’s Day meal and he wanted burgers and hot dogs. He really enjoys his hamburgers. So I stopped by the butcher and bought some ground sirloin. Then went to store and picked up the other things for the meal today. The stores were really busy.

Son came by and disconnected and loaded the tank for grill in my SUV Friday and I got that filled yesterday. So we are ready for grilling and celebrating the Dads in the family today.


Countdown for vacation with grandson. He is busy with football practice so it will be a nice getaway for him. I’am looking forward to spending time with my sweet grandson at



Have a wonderful Day celebrating all the hubby’s and Dads.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, early bedtime, trash has left the house, and kids are still up. Will see if little one needs a mom’s are you up shout. Early, but not nearly as early as me, will have to see. Getting up early is not her best getting up time. Well, it will be hers for the next 39 week days.

And so, since I will be asleep by the time Summer arrives in an hour,



Ah yes, and it’s 81 out. Poor AC has been running most of today. And will tomorrow too. Mini heat wave, as Monday will be the third day we see 90 on the thermometer.

A very good night homies. No bug bites either.

Hope you all had a lovely day Robbie. Good quality burgers made from scratch are hard to beat, i`m sure everyone enjoyed them and had a super time.

And not long till your trip with Grandson too.........wedding first though......this`ll be such an exciting week to get through.



Dinner was lovely last night. Trying to get them to wait till the meat was properly rested though.....everyone was starving. It`s one of my favourite joints of meat to cook though. I had made a chimichurri dip, a Jus and a horseradish sauce, but you don`t really need anything and most of them went untouched. And the dad of the day had a lovely time.

Strawberry and peach pavlova for dessert went down a treat too.

Last night it was nice enough to sit out in the sunshine for a while, but feels dampish this morning, but very still. Willl be ideal for walking, and I think we will get back out today.

Longest day.

Doubt we`ll be grilling out tonight, rain is forecast this afternoon, but if it dries up heyho......we`ll be out there.

Happy Monday and longest day

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Schumi. Nice your dinner was so well received. I ended up with chicken and fries and that ever liked side, mac and cheese. And since it was such a warm and muggy night, little one wanted to walk to our local, very small gelato place. We got close to it, to only see a closed until July 1st. Sadly, nothing else was wanted, so iced coffee it was. I guess maybe we will pick up some ice cream for our freezer this week.

And yeah, a Monday it is. And a most proper feeling first day of Summer. Already 74 out, and that oh so muggy, rain chances later in the day. But a refreshing rainy Tuesday will put the rest of this week in cooler weather.

And so, while tea is bring sipped, I may put some ice in it soon. While the home is cooled with the AC, I still feel a bit warm this morning. Eh, will be hearing trash trucks soon, and it’s back to routine, so I know it’s a Monday.

Make it a Marvelous Monday homies.

 

[macraven]

Absolutely Schumi..... we start next Monday!

 

[RAPstar]

Just wanted to say a quick good morning!

Chicken and mac n cheese is always nice, especially home made......

Absolutely Schumi..... we start next Monday!

lol....it`s illegal to start a diet any other day than Monday........

We are so the oppeosite of your weather this week mac......I know I already told you, but we are barely above 50F this morning!! GA is becoming a nice option......

Just wanted to say a quick good morning!

Hey Andy......good to see you again......hope all is good with you......




Hope Charade had a safe journey to visit her mum.





Yes, cold today, but we did still go out a walk, hoodie hood was up and we did manage 5 miles which with the wind was fun!! Now it`s calm, but our heating is on today, just for half an hour or so but it`s enough to make a difference, especially when we went round and shut all the windows that were open.

Laundry and phone calls this afternoon, then cooking a whole salmon for dinner tonight, lemon butter sauce too with some baby potatoes and roasted carrots.

Cup of tea time though........

 

[macraven]

Can't complain. Well I mean I could, but who wants to hear me whine. Especially without any cheese.

I have missed you Andy!

boo hoo

NOOOOOOOOOO!! lol We've been trying to do a trip since last year. And we kept trying to do something sooner than September but every time we tried to change plans something backfired. So we just decided to do this this year, and then go from there (meaning, do what my hubby wants for next trip lol).

Did I see the word hubby??? Have you tied the knot since you were last on??

 

[Charade67]

Quick good morning before I head to SC. My mom has a late afternoon eye doctor appointment today, so I am trying to time my arrival for sometime after that. Want to make sure they are back home when I arrive.

Yes, sadly there are pathetic little people who do seem to thrive on being a troll on forums. How sad that there are still people like that around...

I used to post on message boards for Girl Scout leaders and parents, and parents of dancers. We had an epic troll on each board. One went as far as stealing pictures of kids form other people's facebook pages and trying to pass them off as her own children. The other made up a crazy life story that was soap opera worthy, then claimed to have a personality disorder when she was exposed. They made for some very entertaining reading.

I saw lightening bugs in the back hard yesterday evening for the first time this year.

I just noticed some here yesterday. Nice to see someone else calling them lightning bugs. I usually hear the word fireflies.

And yeah, a Monday it is. And a most proper feeling first day of Summer. Already 74 out, and that oh so muggy, rain chances later in the day. But a refreshing rainy Tuesday will put the rest of this week in cooler weather.

We are supposed to hit 94 here today, but drop to the mid 70s tomorrow. I guess i should also check the forecast in SC.

lol....it`s illegal to start a diet any other day than Monday...

I don't know. A lot of people seem to say they will start one tomorrow.

I need to finish getting ready to leave. Speaking of leaving, I found out this morning that my flight time for my October trip has been changed. I now leave at 9:00 in the morning. My previous time was 11:00. I'm not very happy, especially since I am flying out of an airport that is 1 hour from where I live.

Safe travels Charade. Yeah, all over the news and popping up on my phone. Heat Advisory, sticky icky out. Yeah, 90 to be with the high, with a feel like temp around 95 or higher. But stormy Tuesday will fix that. Mitch nice weather rest of week, so I would think hoping nice weather when you are at your mom’s place.

Hey Andy, nice to see ya here. Guess chat of HHN happening now, got those travel wants granted.

Ah, that not very big breakfast has me wanting lunch already. Yeah, been hours since my breakfast time.
