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

Shrimp and crab for lunch is as great as having cake

pass the fork around and we all will share your food
 
Oh no Mac. They really did not want you to contact anyone. Hope both services get back to useful early today.

Lynne spectrum is supposed to come out this afternoon but no idea if they will
I’m told they will but think it could be a wait and and see

due to have rain this afternoon and not sure if they work in the rain

new line needs to be put in so there goes digging up my yard a lot more

This is just an inconvenience for us
But we are addicted to baseball and sports and miss tv

Yay for a DIS house warming party!! :cool1:

We're still working on furnishing it- it's been a bit challenging as furniture is hard to come by and sometimes there's a wait on delivery!

Have painting, floor installations to do too. The contractors are a bit slow, too (that would be Joe and I!) We're DIY ing it!

But by HHN time, we should be looking pretty good!

Most importantly, we have a bar in the living room- all stocked with wine and bourbon! We're ready for you!!
 


Good Wednesday morning Sans family :wave2:

Sounds like everyone is keeping busy.


And wonder when Robo’s Summer trip will be. Little one really wants to ride the new coaster. June prices are crazy, and no availability for closer to today times. She really wanted to go before camp starts in two weeks. But hmm, camp ends two weeks before she goes back to college, though still not sure if she will be in person or not. And so, been toying with buying her a season pass and staying a week. Hmmmm

Our trip is in 3rd week of July. This was a time that worked for grandson to get away.

Hope you able to make plans for getaway with your daughter if it works out.



Jurassic Park River Adventure---first row...we were drenched! And dried off quickly in the heat!

Cute picture. Yes on that ride you either get really wet or somewhat wet. I have always been really wet no matter where I sat......LOL


Having a peach melba spritzer tonight........ and sorted out some reservations for my American relatives who are going to Universal for the first time next month......hope they like where we`ve suggested. The Palm is one for sure.

I’am sure they will be happy with all your planning. You can’t go wrong with the Palm.


Maria is a very special lady who doesn`t come on and post very often, but she is a long time poster on this thread who has become a very good friend and I hope she has a wonderful day today.......:wave2:


Happy belated birthday Maria.

And did manage to get my trainers on for the first time today........haven`t walked far in them yet, but will wear them around the house and garden to see how they are......moving forward now!!

Sounds like things are progressing well with your foot. So glad to hear you are doing doing better.


I did go to Universal on Saturday night for the Orlando informer meetup. We met Patty and Joe there and had an amazing time. It was just what I needed. We stayed at Sapphire overnight and it was very nice. Would stay there again. Patty and I and family will be going to another meet up at Universal in November.

Bobby so nice to hear from you. Glad to hear you enjoyed your getaway and meet up with Patty and Joe at the parks. Nice picture.


My family is doing well! And since March, Joe and I are now..... part time Floridians!!! We purchased what will be our permanent retirement home in Sebring!! I've cut down on work and can do so remotely. Joe plans to work full time a little longer. His comfortable allotment of vacation will allow us to be in Sebring often!! The exit plan from the north is in motion!! We're very excited!:cool1:

Patty so good to hear from you. Congratulations to you on your home purchase in the sunshine state.


Got an email this morning that strawberry picking at our favorite place begins on Thursday!!! We have asked DH's parents to join us, and then out for lunch after. Should be a fun time.
DD already has several strawberry dessert recipes ready to go, lol!

Did you get to pick strawberries?


To add to my bad luck today, our home telephone line was also cut by the workers when they were digging up the line for the septic tank

Sorry to hear the mishap with your cable line. Hope they get you fixed up soon.

About 3 years sago ATT were laying new cables for internet and phone when they damaged the sewer line in front our house. They also damaged other homes sewer and water lines in our neighborhood. They had to pay for all the repairs.


It has been raining here on and off for past 3 days. It’s raining again today.

Sitting in my favorite spot this morning having my coffee and I saw a fox running around neighbors front yard across the street. Need to let her know as she has a small dog that likes to escape the yard and run around sometime.

It has been quiet last few days with the rain the large machinery moving earth is not working on field behind house.

Have a few projects to get done around the house today. No outside things to do in garden today as it’s to wet.

Vacation plans for grandson and I pretty much done. Once you have the accommodations and transportation done it’s just the little details. Don’t usually plan a lot, but it seems really busy so will try and make sure a few other things are in place.

Doing few things for wedding. 2 weeks from this Saturday. We are looking forward to the big celebration.

Did get out yesterday and get some grocery shopping done. Always nice to get that accomplished.

Have a great Wednesday everyone.

Robo you have a lot of exciting things coming up!
The wedding and the trip with your grandson

enjoy both events!!

(hope no rain for either of them)
 


Yay, news of a closer and closer wedding coming up and July trip with grandson. Good to hear all doing good, Robo. Yep, hotel booked and flights too. She’s a lucky kid. Could not pass up using my in the Spring renewed AP.

Patty, yay for getting new home ready. Yay, come Fall, will be great to see you both.

Hmm, waiting for second train. On time board says. No more clicking of changes like in the old days. Kinda liked hearing that sound as entered the station. Grand building. Marble everywhere.
 
That’s right !
Trip time for lynne and daughter

Have the greatest time on this trip!

Take pictures for us and enjoy NY
 
Busy sidewalks. Everyone here. Need to be up just after sunrise to hope to get a number to enter this:
96DA7F8C-60E1-4947-91B8-A42DB409F832.jpeg

So early we will be. On the way, to scope it out, a view from our hotel window:
D6C8F725-4E65-4E2C-AFAF-7EBDC6A04757.jpeg

And on the way to Potter store, a pretty clock building:

E10E4B76-8798-49D5-82DF-FBF0617F65BF.jpeg

And so after enjoying looking through clothing sample stores, we are tired, so going to freshen up and find dinner later. Been uncomfortably hot.

But train ride was quick, hotel room ready when checking in, and high floor, which I prefer. So a perfect first day for us.

And just like home. Hit or miss. Some restaurants you can eat in, some are a no, some must wear masks to enter, some no mention, and thus, some with and some without. So we just carry a mask, and put on when needed. We are fully vaccinated. Both trains had announcements that if you are not wearing a mask, you will be arrested and no longer able to ride our trains. So I guess the mask required for transportation is still in force until further notice. Okay with me. The train was full. And many had lots of luggage. But local train not as busy.

Thirsty Thursday tomorrow. And we will be partaking. Need to stay hydrated. And toned calves we will have.
 
Just a very quick pop in to say hi. We just had a thunderstorm pass through. I think it scared the cat. DH should be home soon and then we will have a late dinner. For some reason I am craving chocolate cake.

Looking forward to seeing more pics from NYC especially if you get some of the HP store.
 
Good Wednesday morning Sans family :wave2:

I`m only a little nervous they`ll like the places I`ve chosen for them...I`m sure they will and I know they`ll love RPR. But, when someone puts their trip in your hands........eeekk!!!! No pressure......lol.....

Glad you`re sorted for your visit with your Grandson, and yes....the wedding is just around the corner now. Yes, foot is coming along nicely thanks, toes are rebelling a little as it`s been a while since they`ve been covered in.....

We have lots of foxes around the woodland around us, but no pets to worry about here. Farmer has chickens which can be a target, but they don`t tend to bother us and we see them often early hours....and hear them too, they can be noisy at times.

Lovely to see you post........

Thirsty Thursday tomorrow. And we will be partaking. Need to stay hydrated. And toned calves we will have.

Have a lovely trip LG......New York is one of my favourite cities.




And another sunny and hot day here in the UK......it was so hot during the night, all windows were open and it worked as it did feel a little cooler when the dawn chorus hit at 2am. We fancied going to Iceland to see the midnight sun, but no need......it`s right here! It`s weird looking out to an almost sunrise so early.

This morning is a busy one, few things to do including going into town to pick up some things we ordered, and may pop back into the newest deli we found. They`re also a specialist cheese place too, so will have a look around them too. But, as it`s going to be so hot again today, looking round shops is the last thing I want to be doing.....so after picking up some groceries, it`ll be home, shorts on and in the garden for the rest of the day.

Books are due to arrive this afternoon, I`m looking forward to reading this one.

Barbecue food will be all that`s offered today....if Tom can`t grill it, we aren`t eating it. Salads and potato salad with a couple of roasted peppers will be it for lunch and dinner. And anything nice we can pick up in town. Takes about 45 minutes to get to and we should be there early enough to get parked easily.

And it`s Thursday once again......

Have a wonderful Thirsty Thursday 🍹
 
Thirsty anyone?

Code got after the 53 people ahead of us. Now have an hour after being notified to return to Potter store. Security guy that gave code said most likely we will be notified when store opens at 10 this morning. Pays to be early. As such, promise of drink. Enjoying it in that garden where the clock tower picture was taken from. Pretty little park with lots of small table and chairs. So nice to play on phone and enjoy drinks. Toasty feeling, as was 75 degrees and humid, with cloudy skies. Nice to see all the dogs being walked.

Oh and good morning this Thirsty Thursday.
 
Bit cloudy now, but still lovely and warm here.

Managed to get into town and got what we needed, did some grocery shopping then went for lunch with some friends to a seafood place along the front, it was a light lunch of crab salad for me, so will still make dinner tonight, albeit a lighter dinner, just chicken breasts marinaded in a choice of marinades and some salad.

Book group books arrived this afternoon, will deliver some, others will come pick them up.

Been a lovely little day. Will go out a walk after dinner tonight as it’s still so pleasant. Along the front I think……

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday…….😁
 
The Potter store was really cool. Both of us got t shirts. Will post pictures when we get back to our room later. Such neat things to see, real props and a game to play, that if unscramble the letters, get a pin when you checkout. Was nice, as they both gave us pins. Was a hard word to do. Would say answer, but they different puzzles every day.
 
:wave2: Making a quick mid-day stop in

We survived grad, and the family gathering. It was a great weekend! As much as the kids didn't get much of a graduation/prom (as we grad is also prom for our kids) we made the best of it. We had a great time with everyone. Got to spend lots of time with the granddaughter and the kids. It was great to see all our parents again too.

Not much else is happening in our neck of the woods right now. We have recovered from the pre-grad preparations, grad, and weekend gathering. I have been back walking in the evenings again - which felt good last night. I have added to my regular walk route again. We are heading to the big city to visit the kids and granddaughter. The new truck has arrived at the dealership and is ready for us to take home. So dh is excited now to get it.

Trying to come up with ideas and planning dh's 50 birthday. No one did anything for his (or our) 40th birthdays....and I have NOT heard the end of it lol. I have a few ideas in mind on what to do, just kind of waiting to see what restrictions are looking like. His birthday is in October (our Thanksgiving weekend). So I'm hoping that our restrictions continue to ease, so that we can gather like we want to...as well as, I would LOVE to gift him a Nascar weekend trip! But for that to happen, travel restrictions will need to ease...and we have not heard of any plans from our federal government on that. So we will wait and see.

It looks like everyone is happy and healthy. Some are travelling and looks like you are all having a good time!!!!

Stay safe and healthy hommies!!! I hope that you all have a great day!!!
 
Good afternoon. Nothing much going on here. Just had another thunderstorm roll through, and we will be under a flash flood watch tomorrow.

I would LOVE to gift him a Nascar weekend trip! But for that to happen, travel restrictions will need to ease...and we have not heard of any plans from our federal government on that. So we will wait and see.
I hope you are able to travel by October. Dh and I will be at Martinsville on October 31.

Thanks for the pictures Lynne. That shop looks really awesome.

Almost time for dinner. I think it will be breakfast for supper tonight.
