Morning Schumi .


Farmers market this morning and then prep work for hubbys birthday tomorrow. Lots of family coming to to visit and celebrate. It's cool out this morning with 60 degrees showing on temperature. Unusual for this time of year, but nice change from the sweltering heat.

Have a great trip Monykalyn

Well, 2 lines of thunderstorms arrived around 4am this morning. Wind whipping around our house sounding like a freight train. Then rounds of downpours and finally noisy thunder with some very bright lighting. At 9am this morning:



Goodbye soupy low weather system, giving us a beautiful, hello low humidity high weather system.

Went to the zoo, and little one took this picture:



It is a boar. Thought it reminded her of her brother. Yeah, I did not copy the meme she added to it.

Have an awesome Saturday.

Left over Chinese for brunch. Second time is fine for us. Later, need to make some tea.

Carole - i was informed it was watermelon day too lol.

Ummm... do you mean "The Dark Tower" or "IT"? I might like "IT", but they've made a LOT of changes and split it into two movies... from what I have seen of "The Dark Tower" I don't think I am going to like it either.. I can't stand Matthew McConnoughy..


I haven't seen Spidey yet...

Duh yes lol.

Any chance to see pennywise I'm in Not a fan of several of actors in original, hope this one is darker & delves a bit more into Pennywise's origins. Those will be some very big clown shoes to fill, hope not disappointed there

Only thing i liked mr M in was Lincoln Lawyer

King already revamped The Stand once... as a member of the King Fan page, I haven't heard anything about a new version... I think The Stand TV series was actually one of the better adaptions. The second version of The Shining was MUCH better than Kubrick's. Kubrick made the movie about the man and the book was about the hotel... the second movie was about the hotel, as it should have been.

Stand miniseries was good but would love to see Netflix or HBO do another adaption. Will say viewing it got one of my DS finally interesting in reading something other than graphic novels - yea!

We'll have to disagree re The Shining . Kubrick' film a visual delight, Jack N owned it, fun to watch. Lapped Up the 2nd version as well. I enjoy seeing different takes on interpreting a beloved book.

I am going to see it because it's one of my favorite King stories.. I am just worried about what they're going to do to the story.. Stuttering Bill doesn't stutter in this movie...and I don't know why they wouldn't have that.. it's key to his character.

Stand miniseries was good but would love to see Netflix or HBO do another adaption. Will say viewing it got one of my DS finally interesting in reading something other than graphic novels - yea!

I wouldn't mind seeing another version of the Stand. It's an excellent story and with improved technology, they could do awesome things with it.

We'll have to disagree re The Shining . Kubrick' film a visual delight, Jack N owned it, fun to watch. Lapped Up the 2nd version as well. I enjoy seeing different takes on interpreting a beloved book.

I'm not saying the Kubrick's film was bad.. it was a very good movie for what it was.. it just wasn't true to the book - even King, himself, wasn't happy with the way the story went.. but since he was young and inexperienced, he didn't think to have a say in the production.

I think I'll wait for The Dark Tower to come out on video.

Janet........Watermelon day?? Well, we had cantaloupe today........that'll do.........lol.......we love Kubrick's Shining......yep, Jack stole the film........fabulous.........I liked The Stand on tv too........wasn't Gary Sinise in that....before his Lt Dan and CSI NY days.....

anyone ever stay @ WDW Art of Animation LM rooms?

Seeing them pop up for my oct dates approx $60 more a night than Music. Did a walk thru the resort, pools looked cute when staying @ Pop but never stayed there.

DiL & GD loved. I'm thinking it might be worth it just to make my DS sleep in a clamshell bed hehe

i had no idea it was watermelon day.....
i do love watermelon

Was getting ready to send out the hounds for you

Cake? I made one today to warm up the house.

So much rain the last week the grass in back yard is spongey eeew worms everywhere. Note to self, put on a pair of shoes

Saw the first 'pink' tomato in the garden, should be ready by next weekend. Everyone i talk to says it's been a loss of a season, especially for corn. $6 a dozen here.

 

[schumigirl]

Chucking it down here now too Janet.......

Weather told us we need umberellas next few days.......surprise! Not cold though........

I could eat some cake right now..........long as it's not chocolate cake.......lol......

 

[macraven]

I ate key lime pie for breakfast

 

[schumigirl]

I love key lime pie.

Even better than bacon for breakfast........

 

[macraven]

Janet.....you switching hotels again?

 

[Lynne G]

Where is some for me Mac?... oh yeah, 20 more days and I will hopefully be enjoying a slice in KW. They even dunk it in chocolate on a stick! No, I would like the custard and no pie crust and not dipped in chocolate.

Yeah, wonky Dis, then I had to do errands and visit the parental unit. She is doing well.

It is beautiful Sunday, and cool. We had August weather in June and July, with 7 heat waves over those months. This week, we will be in the low 80's. June weather in August. Good sleeping weather, with 60 degree nights. Hehe from 7 am to 1pm tomorrow, phone says 80 percent chance of rain. TV weather guy says periods of heavy rain and punishing winds tomorrow morning. High? 78 degrees. I may take a jacket. With them fixing the AC the other day, my desk may feel like it is in the Artic with that low temp tomorrow.

But for now, the newly mowed grass has the bunnies out. And some new ones too. Like the size of your fist. I bet they were born in the past week. So cute with their puffy white tail.

Have a nice Sunday. Pound cake for breakfast.

Andy's been MIA, somebody has to fill in the slack as to the thread's official trip twerker, um i meant tweaker.

 

[macraven]

Hahahahaha
I remember Andy and his switching hotels even up to 3 days before he flew out


Believe you have already topped his record of hotel bookings

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha, never been to AoA, but have been to POP. I swore I would not stay there again, but the pocketbook, short number of days, and newly decorated rooms with a queen, and I am at POP again. Kids swore off it too, so at the holidays, we are at FQ. For KY, I am at my third hotel, with that third hotel, the third change of room type, and I think I am done. So happy that not only did the rental, but the hotel, all reduced prices for our sweet 16 trip. Rental almost went half price. I am so ready for vacation.

Now what to have for dinner.

 

[wagman67]

Yuck, no. Basic yellow cake out of a box mix.

My grandmother always, always, had a super moist yellow cake with chocolate frosting at the ready...still one of my favorites.

I ate key lime pie for breakfast

I had some at lunch...good stuff.

 

[kohlby]

I ate key lime pie for breakfast

Hmmmm . . . I do have some leftover from Bunco. Now how to eat it without the kids catching me?!



I'm back from a busy weekend ready to rest for a couple days before heading out. On Alligient. So fingers crossed for no delayed flights since they only fly wed and sat and my flight back sat is their last one for the summer.

I ate at Bob Marley's last night. The jerk chicken was amazing! They sat us way to close to the speakers at first and music was too loud to talk at all. I've very glad I requested a table further back after that as a quick storm came through and our table and food would have been splashed. I heard that storm knocked out power at IOA. We did some rides after dinner and noticed several rides were down and wondered why since we were clueless about the power outage. I'm glad I was eating amazing chicken sheltered instead of on a coaster when it hit.
