McRose yes there is a daytime chicken tour. My friend and I thought about it but decided we’d go for dinner instead. Maybe next trip! We are chickens! Lol.

Schumi thanks. It’s never fun canceling a vacation. It’s the first time I’ve ever had to. I’m telling myself it’s not canceled just postponed. Sounds better.
With our borders I’m just not sure they’ll open by Aug1. Latest opening is supposed to be 7/21. But each time it gets close they extend the date. Then the mess with wdw bookings and virus I think I made the right decision. Added to the complication that travel medical may not cover Covid. Yup.
I am holding out hope that we’ll be able to go for late Nov. trip. Fingers crossed. May switch to Uni and RPH.

I’ve never had much luck with Dyson. Had an upright and a cordless. Maybe it’s just us! But dd was thrilled to get it!

I’m going to have to look up what a Moscow Mule is!

I’ll have to ask the govt store if they can order that wine. Or hunt online.

Love the fizzy ginger beer. I didn’t know there’s non fizz! The Jamaican stuff is good! Strong ginger flavour. It’s not for everyone, my family doesn’t like it. More for me!

Lynne wow that must have been something! Only once was I close to a lightening strike and that was enough. I was on the beach with my paddling team ready to launch our boat. It was the strangest thing. It came out of nowhere, and struck a tree a few metres from us. I think I screamed! Weather was nice. No storm. We got off that beach so fast and back to the clubhouse.

I haven’t been to the outlets yet. We have an outside one too. May be a good place to go with dd work clothes shopping. Actually haven’t been to any clothing store yet. Unless you count Costco lol!

DisneyLife sounds like a great dinner!

McRose Kate Spade sale? I’m calling dd now to see what day she wants to go to the outlet!

Robo yes it might have been the myofacial release. I’ll ask next appt. but sounds familiar. It really does work wonders. And so gentle. Almost feels like she isn’t doing much.

Was it you that told me about that tour last year?

Glad no fireworks here yet by the neighbours. We had a dog that was terrified of them poor thing. The 2 we have now don’t seem bothered.
I guess the city won’t be doing the July 1 Canada Day fireworks over the inlet. We love being able to sit on our deck to watch
Charade poor Barney, lol!
Ive had those moments when I thought I’d just lay down for a moment and rest my eyes.
I’m surprised I didn’t have that today considering I was up till 4:00 am. Ugh.
Yes! Drives me crazy when I see people wearing mask wrong. With nose sticking out. Wear it or not but wear it correctly if you’re going to.

Have a good night all! I hope tonight I’ll be able to get some sleep!

I just saw pictures of the new paint job for Cinderella’s castle for the 50th anniversary of MK. SO much better than what they did for the 25th.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Just stopping in to wish everyone a Happy Summer Soltice!!! It's the longest day of the year. I am just going to enjoy the warm beautiful weather we are having right now.

@Charade67 I am sending thoughts and prayers for your Mom's recovery. I'm glad you are getting a little get away! What a nice suprise that your dh did!

@Robo56 I hope that your MRi gives them some answers for you. I know I struggle and don't like it when my back is sore.

@Monykalyn I am your vacation pictures. It is so nice to see people enjoyingthe parks again! I am also loving your chicken stories!!!!! There is nothing wrong with having spoiled princess chickens!!!!
I know that when they increased our testing, we see significant spikes in cases, but they are now low, and we have seen an average of around 30-40 new cases daily in our province. But it seems to be staying within this range even with our province opening up more and more. Hopefully it still stay this way for a bit yet. But it is just so scary when we hear those numbers take a huge increase in numbers.

@mckennarose I the bow yo made...just sooo cute

@schumigirl I hope you hear more about your trip soon. The boarder here is now closed yet until July 24. We are being " advised " not to travel to different provinces. Guess we will see what happens in the next 2 months here.

@Lynne G We got to experience some of your weather last weekend visiting the kids. It was a hot day, so thunderstorms forecasted, which is not usual. We were driving back to the kid's house after enjoying eating in a restaraunt and we could see the storm starting. By the time we got home, it was pouring and roads were starting to be flooded. Shortly after we got home, we seen on the news that the main highway was flooded with people stranded and sitting on top of their cars. Search and rescue had to evacuate people with their boats. At the dd house, we small hail, but other areas got hit with golfball - tennis ball size hail. Two tornados did touch down. Just crazy weather. One area of the city was hard hit. windows broken, siding on houses gone, vehicles with ruined by water hail or both. We haven't seen a storm like that since we left the prairies!!! That was scary!!!!

We got to enjoy the warm beautiful weather today. I warm day with no wind is rare...so we loaded the boat and went fishing! The one ds and I caught quite a few fish compared to the other two I lost count after 18 fish. We have a very strict size limit and I caught the only one. We ended up taking it out of the livewell and releasing it back into the lake to grow a little bigger for me to catch again! That same ds caught 2 VERY large fish that we actually trophy size. We had to release those ones too, as we are not allowed to keep any of that one. But we have NOT seen anything even close to the size of the two fish ( nothern pike if you were wondering ) he caught in this lake for over 10 years. It's nice to know that there are some big ones cruising around the lake and will breed more of them!

Well, it's late, and I should hit the shower and get all this sunscreen off me and hit the hay!!!!

To everyone who is spending or thinking about their Dads tomorrow...enjoy the time spent them with them or savor the memories you have of them.

Good night to everyone else I missed. I seems to get to read but not post lately.

Yeah, driving home from the overly crowded outlets, saw lightning hit an electric pole as we drove by. Was weird as it looked like a beeline to that pole. Yeah, we are used to storms so most have lightning rods on the top of them. But not much show of rain, and funny wet on one side of street and not other.

Burgers on grill wanted, so even with rain, AC cracking. Muggy and a bit cooler. Paired it with some tater tots and green beans, and wah la, dinner is served.

Yeah, I was annoyed, with our state requiring face masks, at the outlets saw many without wearing them, some with one in their hands, some no sight of one, and some had it hanging open or pushed down below chin. And this was mainly adults. You can bet, we had ours on, and washed our hands at every place we could. And we did not eat inside the food court. No way would we be drinking while shopping either. At least the stores were in an open mall, no inside hallway store doors. There were lines outside the door for almost every store. Significantly the huge line was for Nike. Eh, no need to stand in that crazy line, so we said we’d go back on a hopefully not as crowded day. I will say, the ones carrying much were not the majority. We had two small bags, one of which was one of the smallest that nearly held the sneaker box. I did find shorts that I like at a decent enough price, and woot, with a 10 dollar off any 10 or more purchase, very nice price for the pair I liked the color of, and which I did not have.

Looks like DisneyLife scored for Father’s Day. Always nice to get a new car and vacuum. Fancy one, LOL

With that, a nice enough first day of Summer, so have a super beautiful night. Time for my little bit if grey goose. Refreshing this time of year. And had to look up that wine that Schumi mentioned. Sounded quite nice wine. I am a white wine more than red fan.

I was reading of several people being fined on public transport for not wearing a mask, or not wearing it correctly....yes, there was picture of a man, not doctored of him snoozing with the mask over his eyes!!

Food sounds good......well except green beans!!! Veg of the devil.....lol......hope you had a lovely night.......

LOL!
Oogie Boogie is a creep. I used to hate him. Now I think he's funny.
When we were wearing rubber gloves out to the stores, my youngest and I would squeak them at each other closing our hands like Johnny Depp did as Wonka. We have a weird sense of humor. People probably thought we were nuts.

Oh, that's scary!
You braved the outlets? I've been eyeing the Stroudsburg ones after seeing Kate Spade was having a big sale. I'm not quite ready yet, as I can imagine the crowds.

What's your address again?

Weird sense of humours are good. With you all the way there......

Good Saturday evening Sans family

They are setting off fireworks around here again tonight for the 7th night in a row. This is normal occurrence until couple days after the 4th.

It’s on the next street. All I can say is they are impressive. The size and the continued onslaught means someone spent a few grand on them. They will usually quit by 10. I’am sure people with pets are not very happy. There have been complaints on the Nextdoor neighbor boards.

I always watch it again around Halloween. It’s a fun one to watch.

Guess there were no druids when you went?

I`m sure I`ve mentioned before how much I hate fireworks being handled by most folks who have no clue what they are dealing with....being in the explosives industry for many years, it never ceases to amaze me how little folks know of how much damage a small amount of anyhting can do.

Even organised dispalys we never stood too close to anything.

Yes, for pets and folks who are disturbed by the explosions it`s not nice.

I must give that movie a try....maybe at Halloween this year.

To be honest I was around 6 when we last went down there to visit those relatives......yes, we`re very close.....lol.....I don`t hav emuch of a memory of the place except for apparently being very underwhelmed! We had just come from London where I was seeing Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.....

Hope you have a lovely Sunday and enjoy chatting to your dad today Robo......

I meant to post earlier today but the day got away from me. I woke up at 4:00 this morning and had trouble getting back to sleep. A couple of times I had just dozed off and the cat came up to me and rubbed his head on my hand. That startled me awake.
I took a short nap after breakfast and then did some house cleaning. B and I had a late lunch and then went to the mall. My favorite clothing store was having a 50% off everything sale, and I had a coupon for $15 off. I got myself a new pair of jeans and 3 shirts.
I came home and sat in my recliner for a "moment" and then I was going to do more house cleaning. I ended up falling asleep and taking a 3 hour nap. Guess I'll be awake for a while now.

I have an amusing vision of a Barney themed HHN house. I hated that dinosaur.

We are a little more relaxed here. I had to sign a form, but was given the option to wait int he waiting room or my car. No special mouthwash.

B is the same. I miss the days when I could buy clothes and she would wear them without argument. She actually hates to shop now. I practically have to force her to shop when she needs new clothes.

The main reason I don't miss living there.

You said a dirty word - insurance. The worst one being Medicare.

Cool! Congrats!

I'm with you there.

Okay, we have you, me, and Sue in the chicken club. Who else is joking in us? Roll call!

That drives me crazy too. I say wear it correctly or don't wear it at all.
I hate wearing the mask, but will comply with the rules.

Save a place at the table for me.


Not a fan of fireworks unless the professionals handle them.

We loved Barney in this house!!!!!

At one point when Kyle was very little he was either going to be a trash man or Barney when he grew up!!! Glad he set his sights a lot higher!!!

Schumi thanks. It’s never fun canceling a vacation. It’s the first time I’ve ever had to. I’m telling myself it’s not canceled just postponed. Sounds better.
With our borders I’m just not sure they’ll open by Aug1. Latest opening is supposed to be 7/21. But each time it gets close they extend the date. Then the mess with wdw bookings and virus I think I made the right decision. Added to the complication that travel medical may not cover Covid. Yup.
I am holding out hope that we’ll be able to go for late Nov. trip. Fingers crossed. May switch to Uni and RPH.

I’ve never had much luck with Dyson. Had an upright and a cordless. Maybe it’s just us! But dd was thrilled to get it!

I’m going to have to look up what a Moscow Mule is!

I’ll have to ask the govt store if they can order that wine. Or hunt online.

Love the fizzy ginger beer. I didn’t know there’s non fizz! The Jamaican stuff is good! Strong ginger flavour. It’s not for everyone, my family doesn’t like it. More for me!

Have a good night all! I hope tonight I’ll be able to get some sleep!

I don`t actually like Moscow Mules. Rum Mule is just the rum version. StrongWater do the freshly made ginger beer with no fizz.....Lenny gave me his recipe as they do make it all fresh in house......I always add more ginger. I like Idris fiery which is Jamaican......we can get that anywhere which is good.

There should be a merchant carry the wine to be ordered. We didn`t order direct from them as the delivery cost would be horrendous.....but a couple of merchants have it for sale in the UK, not too many though.

Hope you had a good sleep.......

I just saw pictures of the new paint job for Cinderella’s castle for the 50th anniversary of MK. SO much better than what they did for the 25th.

I think it looked better the way it was. Still too gaudy looking for me.......but, yes, nothing could be as bad as the 25th!!!

Just stopping in to wish everyone a Happy Summer Soltice!!! It's the longest day of the year. I am just going to enjoy the warm beautiful weather we are having right now.

@schumigirl I hope you hear more about your trip soon. The boarder here is now closed yet until July 24. We are being " advised " not to travel to different provinces. Guess we will see what happens in the next 2 months here.

Good night to everyone else I missed. I seems to get to read but not post lately.

Good to see you Pumpkin!!!

Yes, Happy Summer Solstice.......glad to hear you have such lovely weather finally.....

With borders being closed it`s a no win situation. Here we are just being told to not cross over into the other countries like Scotland and Wales and vice versa. Our borders aren`t manned the way Canada/USA is though, but we still follow the rules. Yes, the following weeks will be revealing.

Fishing sounds fun! Nice your DS caught such a whopper!!!

Hope you had a good nights sleep too!





We had some heavy winds during the night and rain, but it`s to be gone in an hour or so. I can already see the blue skies emerging over the hills behind us......it must be heading out to sea as the skies over the ocean are very very dark.

Bacon and scrambled egg whites for breakfast......not too unhealthy and very filling. And means we have room for a nice lunch too......

Steaks will be cooked outside today as by that time, it`ll be lovely outside and we have two friends coming over as we can sit outside. I`m looking forward to seeing them....distantly of course!

Tom was delighted with his gifts.....his face lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw the Cognac......and Kyle had ordered him a few other little bits and pieces I didn`t know about. So, he has felt very spoiled today.....and he deserves it!!!

No real plans till later.......friends will only be here for an hour or so...before visiting their son who lives close to us, but we`ll be glad to see them.

Have a great Sunday.......

Happy Sunday.........................

[Lynne G]

Yay, a mostly sunny Sunday. Bright enough out. Wash done, unless the kids want another load of what I missed. And our usual Sunday, trash out, and readiness for the work week, so any grocery we need, most likely some grocery shopping today as well.

Yum, Schumi had a nice breakfast, and happy for Tom, as perfect way your family had to show how much he is thought of on this shared Father’s Day.

Pumpkin, ah nicer weather is always good. Glad to hear from ya. I hope our borders get it together so that all can travel, with safety in mind.

Time to refresh the tea pot. Quiet house and no kid in sight. Little one did not get up until after 10 am yesterday, so I am thinking at least that time to get up today. Older one was up at 9am yesterday, but I thought I heard them go to sleep after the clock struck midnight last night. So I have no idea what time he will arise. He is usually the first up of the two of them. Through neither is what I would call an early bird. Me, in bed by 11, and up at 5:30am. I just can’t sleep late most of the time. Though on vacation, after a night of walking in the parks through the houses and back in the wee hours, I can sleep much later. Though it usually takes days of vacation before I am not up in the early hour. I actually enjoy walking around the resorts in the early hour. It is usually the coolest, and quiet time of the day. And most of the time, not when rain appears.

Super Happy Father’s Day Sunday to all the dad homies, and to all of us, enjoy your Sunday.

Hehe, yes summer, the heat and humidity increases as the days go by, with that roll your dice chances of rain or a thunderstorm later in the day. Then the weather looks like nothing happened.

 

[mckennarose]

Morning SAN's and Happy Father's Day to the dads!
We don't have much planned here today, which is good. After wrangling the apple tree removal all week, hubby needs a break. We still have a bunch of branches to chip and he's been doing bits after work each day but he needs and deserves a break. We will make dinner later and the kids are coming over to see him. My mom and dad will come too, so hopefully the rain will stay away until after that so we can sit outside.

They are setting off fireworks around here again tonight for the 7th night in a row

There were quite a lot of fireworks here too. I didn't look, but some of then sounded large.

Last year I saw a woman go and sit in a wheelchair holding what look to be a sleeping infant of about 3 months old while her husband started to push her through the house. That took the cake for me.

This is not an event for infants and young children.

I have no words! I didn't know children could attend and I'm genuinely shocked. Do they have warnings? Kids can't get into a PG 13 or R movie, yet they can go to HHN?

I came home and sat in my recliner for a "moment" and then I was going to do more house cleaning. I ended up falling asleep and taking a 3 hour nap.

Aww, you needed rest. You've had a lot going on the past week.

Not a fan of fireworks unless the professionals handle them.

Me either. My youngest and I nearly got hit by a big one a few years ago, when the stand tipped and it shot straight for us. This was at a friend's house, not professional. We dove out of the way and it hit the garage behind us. I won't go anywhere near them now. I like the bigger ones at Disney, but I get anxious with the ones people set off in their yards and I won't even go outside. The big ones used to be illegal in PA, but now they're not. Thankfully our city passed an ordinance that they are illegal within city limits. It doesn't stop everyone, but it does give the police something to be able to stop the ones they find.

McRose Kate Spade sale? I’m calling dd now to see what day she wants to go to the outlet!

I know, right!
Robo, I looked for the 75% off and I can only find 40% off. Bummer!
The strap on one of my KS purses broke. Although, I've gotten used to not carrying a purse out with the pandemic protocol in stores. I have a phone case with a wallet built in and I just throw that in my pocket.

I just saw pictures of the new paint job for Cinderella’s castle for the 50th anniversary of MK. SO much better than what they did for the 25th.

I think it looks pretty and reminds me of my childhood and love of Cinderella. I still have a Cinderella watch I received in the 70's. It doesn't work and it needs a new band, but I keep it in my jewelry box.
And yes.... so much better than the gaudy monstrosity of the 25th!

I`m sure I`ve mentioned before how much I hate fireworks being handled by most folks who have no clue what they are dealing with....being in the explosives industry for many years, it never ceases to amaze me how little folks know of how much damage a small amount of anyhting can do.

Agree! I'm absolutely terrified of them now!

One of my kids sent me this meme:

 

[mckennarose]

Forgot to comment on this...
Schumi you nearly broke my little nerd heart with this one!

 

[Aug2020distrip]

Hopefully I can ask a random park question in this thread? I didn’t think it deserved it’s own thread lol

I see currently, the ticket special is buy 2 days get 2 free. We won’t have time to make the best of this special, so those free two days would be pretty useless to us. I’m thinking of waiting for the next ticket special instead. In the past, have they typically don’t specials of like X % off tickets if you buy now sort of thing? That would be a better special for us, but just curious if it ever even happens if not, maybe will just get these and try our best to go an extra couple days, even if just a couple evenings on days we have no huge plans.

edit: ignore my user name, we are actually going in April now, hence why I have some time to maybe wait for a different special, no huge rush to get tickets quite yet

 

[Lynne G]

Welcome Aug, not sure of what discounts Universal will send out. In the past, sometimes only 1 day free. The best is what ya currently see, the 2 for 2. I don’t think I have seen just a discount on a ticket. Undercovertourist and other legitimate resellers sometimes discount tickets, and so does the military and sites like tickets to work. Just make sure you compare with tax added, as some add it when you checkout. I know Undercover’s prices include the tax and free shipping.

Good luck with what ever ticket deal you decide on, and also make sure you check if the ticket has a use by date. As usually, Universal deal tickets do have an end date of use.

I hope this helps, as I have not bought tickets in some time, but I do buy military tickets if my kids don’t have an AP, and I’ve had an AP for years.

And we are a friendly bunch, so review the stickies and ask away, if you don’t see the answer you are seeking.

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks Lynne.....yes, he knows he is very much appreciated!! Hope your DH has a good day too......

Sounded like a nice quiet morning for you with tea.....always nice!



mrose....lol....anything with Capt Picard is always good!

It would shock you the ages we`ve seen kids visiting the event. Babes, and I mean months old babies either in pushchairs and last year we saw two aged around 6-8 months being carried around. Toddlers, some we`ve seen being carried out of the houses screaming.....kids of younger than tweens being nuisances in the houses......I could go on. Most claim.....oh they`re fne....not the point. It`s not an event for kids.

The website states 13 and younger not recommended.....most of us who have been going for a long time wish Universal would enforce an age limit. Maybe this year they will with the problem they have with crowds.

Have a great Sunday with your family too.....







Friends have just left......thank goodness the sides for dinner are done and Tom is barbecuing the steaks as we did indulge in one or two fizzy cocktails ......well, it was actually prosecco which is nice enough for an afternoon. I made Kir Royales and one that has champagne (prosecco) rum, lime juice and honey......they went down well. Not sure the last one has a name......apart from good!!! We had a lovely couple of hours.

I made up earlier today potato salad, cheese scalloped potatoes, macaroni cheese regular salad and slipped in a pepper sauce as Kyle likes a sauce on the side, as do I. Tom prefers just steak. Very carb heavy, but we won`t eat it all.

I made an apple crumble for dessert, his all time favourite in the UK. And will make up some custard. Kyle has chocolate ice cream.....not home made! So we`re set for dinner.

I still have a few appetisers left over from what I put out for friends, so I may nibble on them till dinner......I`m hungry!!

 

[mckennarose]

mrose....lol....anything with Capt Picard is always good!

I agree! Jean Luc makes everything better!

Most claim.....oh they`re fne....not the point. It`s not an event for kids.

That's insane. I'll stop there before I say something that will get me in trouble.

The website states 13 and younger not recommended.....most of us who have been going for a long time wish Universal would enforce an age limit. Maybe this year they will with the problem they have with crowds.

I hope they would enforce it. And I hope Disney people who love MNSSHP won't go into in blindly. Geeze!

I made Kir Royales and one that has champagne (prosecco) rum, lime juice and honey......they went down well.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kir Royales! And Kir Imperials! I'm not picky.....

Oh you can visit anytime!!!! Anyone who loves a good cocktail will fit in well with all of us over here.......

We have seen folks come over here from the Disney boards asking about the Universal Halloween "Party" yes......it`s nothing like a party......lol.....

The dark side of me finds humour in that I have to admit!!!!

​

Yes, we`ve seen that too........too often!!!!!

Thank you, that’s very helpful! Maybe will just snag these then so looking forward to our trip, last time I was there I was pregnant, so couldn’t ride many rides, this trip will be much more fun have also never been there since the newer Harry Potter park. Can’t wait!!

Morning Sans family


Happy Father’s Day to all our Sans family dad’s and husband’s.

Was it you that told me about that tour last year?

I believe so.

We got to enjoy the warm beautiful weather today. I warm day with no wind is rare...so we loaded the boat and went fishing! The one ds and I caught quite a few fish compared to the other two I lost count after 18 fish. We have a very strict size limit and I caught the only one. We ended up taking it out of the livewell and releasing it back into the lake to grow a little bigger for me to catch again! That same ds caught 2 VERY large fish that we actually trophy size. We had to release those ones too, as we are not allowed to keep any of that one. But we have NOT seen anything even close to the size of the two fish ( nothern pike if you were wondering ) he caught in this lake for over 10 years. It's nice to know that there are some big ones cruising around the lake and will breed more of them!

Wow, sounds like a lovely time on the lake with good fishing. Glad you all had such a nice time.

Food sounds good......well except green beans!!! Veg of the devil.....lol......hope you had a lovely night.......

I`m sure I`ve mentioned before how much I hate fireworks being handled by most folks who have no clue what they are dealing with....being in the explosives industry for many years, it never ceases to amaze me how little folks know of how much damage a small amount of anyhting can do.

Even organised dispalys we never stood too close to anything.

It is scary that those massive fire works can be sold to the general public and you are right explosives in the hands of the general public is a recipe for disaster and can be lethal. The authorities turn there heads around here during this time of the year. There is nothing we can do about it. I have scene some pretty bad injuries over the years do to them .

When my daughter-in-law was a little girl the next door neighbors were setting off fireworks and they landed on roof of daughter-in-laws house and it caught on fire.

Hope you have a lovely Sunday and enjoy chatting to your dad today Robo......

Thank you

Tom was delighted with his gifts.....his face lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw the Cognac......and Kyle had ordered him a few other little bits and pieces I didn`t know about. So, he has felt very spoiled today.....and he deserves it!!!

So nice Tom was happy with all his gifts. Have a wonderful Fathers Day celebrating your sweetheart with yummy food and friends

Me, in bed by 11, and up at 5:30am. I just can’t sleep late most of the time. Though on vacation, after a night of walking in the parks through the houses and back in the wee hours, I can sleep much later

Morning Lynne

I actually enjoy walking around the resorts in the early hour. It is usually the coolest, and quiet time of the day. And most of the time, not when rain appears.

DisneyLifePapioNe looks like you have your Father’s Day desserts sorted.

You are so right about those early Resort mornings Lynne. It is so quiet, morning air is cooler. I like to sit in the piazza at Portofino having my Starbucks watching early morning folks heading to boats. I also enjoy just sitting in big Lobby at SF. Watching people come and go.

Started post then had to go to hospital for MRI appointment this morning.. Was very quiet there. Check in was quick. Should know results by tomorrow.

Crown came off tooth yesterday morning. I just had that put on at end of March. I had it put on when I was at home in Florida. I bit down on something and spit it out and wala crown. Hopefully nothing broke off of it. Will have to call dentist in am to have her look at it and put it back on. It’s sensitive, but looks like enough of bonding agent is covering stump to keep it from being painful. Thankful for that. I’am on a roll here.......LOL.

Son and family came over yesterday to help with some things that needed done. We had a nice rib dinner to celebrate Fathers Day. Hubby and son liked their gifts. It was supposed to be a big celebration with everyone, but with my back issue and Covid things just could not chance larger group.

Will try to get everyone together once things are better. I love having all the family together.

To all the Sans family have a lovely afternoon celebrating the Fathers in your lives, the ones that are here and the ones that are no longer here

I made Kir Royales and one that has champagne (prosecco) rum, lime juice and honey......they went down well.

Sounds so good. I have never had one. Will have to try it.

I made up earlier today potato salad, cheese scalloped potatoes, macaroni cheese regular salad and slipped in a pepper sauce as Kyle likes a sauce on the side, as do I. Tom prefers just steak. Very carb heavy, but we won`t eat it all.

Sides sound delicious

I made an apple crumble for dessert, his all time favourite in the UK. And will make up some custard. Kyle has chocolate ice cream.....not home made! So we`re set for dinner.

Desserts sound yummy too.



Agavegirl thanks for the fun memes.. hope you are doing well.


Sending good thoughts and mummy dust to Tink.
