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

[Lynne G]

Yay, Monday early flight, perfect Paris.

And yay, to a graduation celebration for Pumpkin’s son. Party!

 

[keishashadow]

It’s easier to match slacks or shorts when the top you wear is black and white

I don’t have any shorts or slacks to go with that purple and teal top

Black is pretty much my uniform, rarely wear white, skin too pale. Do have some taupe that would go well with that shirt

As already said, hope your DS picks up.....ginger ale and your chicken soup will work wonders for him.

Is DiVine not there anymore? It has been a long time since we were there.....er, maybe 12 or 13 years now.....

And we have another special birthday today.

He will just love those pics! Thank you
[

Happy Birthday to Keisha’s DH

Thanks Lynne. I’m rather surprised our state hasn’t hit 70 percent
[

If I were a horse they would have shot me by now. Because of the blister on my heel, I

So how has everyone else’s day been?

Yike, better than yours. Sorry. Crocs are pretty awful when it comes to blisters for me.

Happy Birthday to DH of Keisha!! It's a bday filled weekend at your house, hope it's great!!

Thanks, we do it up large, more like a week of fun

Will bring the suitcases up from the basement soon. Since our flight is at 6am on Monday, all packing will be finished on Sunday.

Woohoo

 

[Monykalyn]

View from my chair at in laws house. Fireworks Monday- will walk to end of street to see over the lake. Going on a tour tomorrow of local distillery. Nothing like whiskey and moonshine tasting! Set for 11 am, then heading to Margaritaville to check out more of the renovations and have lunch. Still too cool tomorrow to swim or boat but maybe Sunday.
charade hope the feets get better! I have a pair of Disney slides-wore them today actually- they fit my feet great and comfortable. Moleskin is a lifesaver. I usually put it on high rub areas on my feeteach morning to prevent blisters. I know where my sandals can cause issues so do it as a preventative.
Happy birthdays to Keishas men!
Puppy home with the working college kid- we were going to bring him, but with little boat or lake action it’s best he’s home.
So excited masks going away! Son actually went into store for first time since last summer without a mask today, mandates done as of today. We have such low case rates right now and expect it to stay that way. Both older girls get their second shots this weekend.
DH’s oldest and her husband will be doing HHN last weekend in September - I expect May see DH for this weekend as well- so 3 newbies to have fun with! Middle and I will still have prior weekend for “our” time so works well.
Think I may go to sleep early- beer with dinner and I’m wiped!

 

[Charade67]

Have other sneakers that fit you? I tend to wear my well worn sneakers in the parks. Too much walking in anything else

I brought 2 pair of sneakers, but am it sure which caused the blister. Neither pair have bothered my feet before.

Must say, I love the crocs and the socks!! You rock them!!

Thanks lol. I found some shorter socks in another gift shop, so I will be wearing those tomorrow.

Moleskin is a lifesaver. I usually put it on high rub areas on my feeteach morning to prevent blisters. I know where my sandals can cause issues so do it as a preventative.

Thankfully Instill have some left from the pack I bought a few days ago.

Today we took it easy at MK. Dinner was at Be Our Guest. Tomorrow we are going to take the morning off and wait and go to EPCOT when it is time for dinner.

 

[schumigirl]

Lori.......yay for starting to pack this weekend!! Your trip is all of a sudden here.....I`ll bet everyone is so excited!


Charade, hope the feet don`t give you too much trouble today. I`ve never worn those types of crocs before, so I hope they`re very comfortable for you.



Janet....you`re welcome! Yes, your family does the best birthday celebrations....the longer the better in my book for celebrating!




Well, dinner wasn`t late in the end last night. He got back home quicker than we thought as the car handover was flawless and as they had already sorted everything out, sign and go basically. A very happy young couple drove their new car out of the showroom.

Lazy evening, caught up with some friends and watched some dvd`s while reading a book.

Today, we have a solid fog rolling in, but you can still see the sun, so once that burns off it`s going to be gorgeous today. Warm few days forecast for us, so plan to spend it in the garden as much as possible. Although our gardener is planning to come do all the grass this morning, and as grass pollen has started now...that`ll be fun!

Grilling out all weekend is the plan, hopefully some friends will drop by at some point.....always open house to them here. I think we may head out this morning to a farm butcher about 40 minutes away as he sent a txt to say they had a load of beef fillet joints in, so will go get some and steak is on the menu tonight.


And I`d like to give a big thank you to macraven


I had accidentally put someone on ignore. I got a notification saying they were now "following" me.....something I never use, but looked to see who they were and acidentally pressed ignore. It`s a lady I knew from another board years ago. So she contacted mac as she couldn`t send me a pm....mac fixed it....so thank you.

Yes, never used the follow button, but the ignore button I used for the first time last year, and I joined in 07! Ignore button is a win-win Makes for nicer reading on the boards. And also the CB had so many inane questions that filled up the whole first page sometimes......

And almost bacon time......with poached eggs I think this morning........

Have a wonderful Saturday and weekend ​

 

[Realfoodfans]

Charade sorry about your sore feet. I am the same with blisters because I am so very careful with the skin on my legs and feet so my feet are so soft. Not one bit of hard skin which should be a good thing but means feet are vulnerable on long hikes. I wear liners inside my socks and change them when my feet get hot to try and help. Not heard of moleskin so will google that.

Em and L are doing a virtual Brownie Pack Holiday next weekend so I’m currently cutting Rainbow patches off her uniform onto her new camp blanket. Also some lovely American Brownie patches Charade mailed over. Thank you again for those!

J and I are going to Chester Zoo on the Saturday - it’s so long since we’ve been we are both excited about it.

Cooler so far here this morning but hoping it will brighten. We are going to visit baby this afternoon with my brother and SIL. Can’t wait for another cuddle.

Hope everyone enjoys their long weekends.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, the Chester Zoo, Julie. Our zoos have been open now, with timed reserve entry. Nice thing is, being a member of both, I need not reserve to enter. So that’s nice, as I can just go when I want. Hope you have a lovely time.

Schumi, ooh the fog, hear any chainsaws yet? LoL. At least with the changes, maybe HHN will be held this year. And I hope you get to enjoy your Fall trip. Hopefully it will be.

Ah the rain has come, and decided to stay awhile. Rained overnight, as woke to loud rain a few times, and a longer noisy rain has been falling now. Unseasonable temps, as 46 out now, with a high to be only 50. Nope, house feels a bit cool, but won’t turn on the heater yet. Don’t need the AC for a few days. Yep, the Memorial Day weekend pants and even jackets, rain jackets, needed. A tad cool in my book.

And so, with both kids working today, should be a quiet house, as it is now, with the noisy rain as the background. Hot tea, as not iced. And wrap around me, does feel a little cool.

Stupendous Saturday to all the homies, from a rain soaked homie, enjoying some rain still. Sigh. I was quite enjoying that above average temps, with that glorious sunny weather. Oh well, we should have that drying out by Sunday afternoon. Yep, that stinking rain takes its time to leave only by Sunday afternoon, after making it a full day of rain this Saturday. Flood Warnings given at the shore. Yeah, the rivers, creeks, lakes,and ponds finally will be more full. We were quite dry, with no rain for over a week. But no matter, forecast has rainy days predicted later in next week. That may force me to do a very short week, and try to enjoy a long weekend this coming weekend. Then two weeks after that, will also be short, as little get away will make that week short. Yay, two shorter weeks coming up.

Oh, and good morning.

 

[schumigirl]

No chainsaws yet Lynne......all we can hear right now apart from the birds are the foghorns. Although we are clear here, looking out to sea, all we can see is fog. Hope your weather warms up again, I’m sure it will.



And we have an unusual occurrence in that we have weather in the high 60’s but outside here with the trees around us it’s in the low 70’s. Beautiful.......

We all have shorts on today which is nice.

Got our meat from the butcher, ordered a prime rib which we’ll pick up next Saturday for Sunday, we do like their produce. Plan to do the same tomorrow.......

But for now......Lori.....thinking of you as we have a Sloe Gin with sparkly lemonade, cherries and lemons.......we got this bottle for Christmas off of someone and decided to open it today........

Tried to make it up quietly in the kitchen before taking it out as a treat.......it was well received








Cheers to some much warmer weather coming our way in the next couple of weeks

 

[Lynne G]

Yay almost 5 o’clock for Schumi, and great looking drinks. Pretty colored.

Still raining. Sigh. Pants on, and still have that throw over my legs. Time for more tea, and what to make for lunch. Not much interesting on the tube. So may try that SW puzzle that I just can’t seem to want to finish. The colors are so close, I need a really good light.

 

[Charade67]

Good afternoon. We are taking a partial rest day. EPCOT is open until 10:00 tonight, so we plan to get there about an hour or so before our dinner reservation, ride a couple of rides, have dinner, then ride a few more rides. I’m also going to do some very early Christmas shopping. One of my friends loves Figment, so I will try to find something for her.

A few more pictures.




Everyone takes pictures of Walt and Mickey, so I decided to get one of Roy and Minnie.

 

[Lynne G]

Enjoying the pictures Charade. Thanks for sharing and have a nice dinner and have fun at Epcot.

I like black too, but it's a constant struggle with pet fur...

Went to a moonshine tasting while in Alabama recently. Peach cobbler was my favorite flavor. What is yours?

Almost packed!
Grilling out is a Memorial Day weekend tradition for us. Doing burgers, brats, corn on the cob, loaded potato salad....already excited for it all!

Ooooh!! Please ship two of those drinks to WI! Lindsey said she'd like one too, lol!
Looks positively delish!

Where are you eating at Epcot tonight? One of the countries?






Getting into vacation mode!



DD and I had our nails done this morning. I opted for a sunny Florida yellow, and DD got Blue glitter and a light blue combo.
Mostly packed suitcase, feels good to be nearly ready.
Pizza tonight, since I don't want to fuss. Tomorrow will be our big cookout...with many leftovers for DH!

I'm gonna try a post from my phone next, as I've never done it yet. Leaving my Mac at home this trip and hoping to check in and post from my phone.

You have never posted from your phone ??
Once you use the phone to communicate on the boards, you’ll find it easier each time you post from it.

My computer bit the dust years ago and iPhone is the only way I use for posting on the Dis or gain any info online

Your thumbs will grown stronger after weeks using the phone !

You passed the test ....
Now you are a pro posting with your phone!!!

welcome to my world ......

Yes, first time! And I passed, lol!

The small size was a bit daunting initially, but I'll get used to it.
I'm quite excited to not have to drag my Mac computer along for a change!!

 

[macraven]

I always stick my iPhone in my bra
Couldn’t do that with the IMac

No, my bra is not large enough

 

[Realfoodfans]

J’aime I only use my iPhone XR now - rarely the iPad which is getting out of date and I hate the Mac but Kev uses it for all his photo editing etc. Have thoughts of new iPad but may just upgrade to even larger phone.

Zoo is next Saturday so pictures then.

Baby visit was lovely. He is so chilled! Long may it last. A good couple of hours with family. I love the names they have chosen but won’t post on here. I’ll call him X

Do wish I could enjoy a drink. DS made mimosas for everyone and I only had a glass but no - it just isn’t worth it but you feel such a killjoy not participating. DS soon appeared with a club soda for me!

I was up so early (too early) this morning so off to bed now. Current old radio series is Lord Peter Wimsey. A bit like Jeeves and Wooster.

So good night from me.

 

[Charade67]

Dinner in the fake outdoors tonight.
