Hey all. Busy, busy bee I been . Labor of love, nice pool party yesterday if i do say myself (even though i ran out of propane and had to finish the few well done strip steaks in the microwave. That’s what they get for eating steak ‘wrong’ lol.

Jr yesterday, DH today. He who is at work earning double-time to support my nasty travel habit as he puts it lol. Wanted to double out for triple time. I told him to not bother coming home if he did, message was received. Just burgers & corn on cob for dinner as lots of leftovers still.

So humid & not, had to dip into some AC today from outing with eldest DS’s family at their country club pool. Somebody used the term hoity-toity. I am dyin LOL, ain’t i fancy? NOT. Some stick in the muds but most very nice. Parking lot is pretty cool, full of vehicles i don’t often see in my neck of of the woods.

Hey Macraven-going to the Loo for FiL birthday on saturday-trying to convince the other half we need to come home sunday-too much to do this week-I need my full day off Monday.

those random. number/letters in my post? courtesy of Diva chicken-"Ellie" who is sitting on one leg while I try to type with laptop balanced on other. Sitting on deck in nice weather comes with companions...gave up-laptop to side, the way she wants it
View attachment 324717
You got any plans?

Loo as in bathroom? JK. First thing i thot of , assume u meant StLouis? Cute little bugger you have there.

My Aunt, 97, died last night. Was my mom’s only sibling. Sad day for the family. She was one of the few aunts I have left, and those left are by marriage.

With that, need to get little one to go to bed. She gets another field trip tomorrow.

Cute chicken MonyK.

Hope Patty made it down safe, and not in the rain. Have a great time! Food porn is appreciated.

Enjoy the park Charade and B. Should be a beautiful weather day tomorrow.

I am ready for bed, so I will leave the light on. Carry on night owl homies.

A shame but, wow, that’s a ripe old age!

Good morning

Sorry to hear about your aunt Lynne.

No 3 day weekend for me, I have to work all 3 days...6 in a row but i'm off Tuesday and Wednesday next week so I can go shopping when everyone else is working.

As always, I love the Diva chicken pic monyk. You're actually making me like your chickens and I have a chicken phobia.

Time to get ready for work...later homies

I’m confused, is it your birthday? Could’ve sworn it was in August. Maybe the heat is getting to my brain.

Quick check in from Busch Gardens. It is really hot out today, but thankfully there is a bit of a breeze. The park is busy, but not too insanely crowded. There seems to be a lot of school groups here.

There is no park i’ve ever visited that has more hills you have to climb up & down than BG Virginia...way to much walking in that humidity for me. Last trip made the mistake of going the last weekend in August before school started (middle of the month?) OMG the crowds. We wound up skipping Williamsburg entirely and doing pool that day of our long weekend.

Once you mentioned that, I started looking.

Have not seen any banner scroll at the top for me.
I even put the reading glasses on to check...

Maybe since your a MOD you escape it? For me, it really slows down things. I’m now seeing advertisements in the middle of thread posts too, a new thing for me. Used to only be when not signed in. Gatorland appears to be current in heavy rotation

Party day for keisha’s Family

Mr Keisha and Keisha son!





Time!

. Thank you, nice to remember. Hope ur ribs hit the spot!

Lol......it’s medium rare at least or nothing in our house.......even converted my mother to medium rare for steak.........she used to cook hers for a week!!! Your food always sounds so good........

Love the term hoity toity


Thankfully the dreaded ad that wasn’t an ad disappeared this morning .......didn’t change anything so I assume the Dis hierarchy removed it.........

Been such a lazy day........DH has now moved on to looking at NYC menus..........

Going to watch Annabelle Creation........I’ve seen it, watched it on the plane last year, but DH hasn’t so will see it again.......I thought it was just ok........

Although ready for bed if I’m honest...........I think doing nothing is tiring at times.........

Burgers with bacon and cheese, fresh corn on cob and some onion rings. This gray holiday Monday, had time to make a nicer dinner. Also on our Target run, the Yum Yum sign was on. Half dozen for dessert with ice cream that we also stopped at the grocery store for. Full.

Back to routine for two days, then heading west to visit Keisha’s town.

Have a nice evening homies. Taps played at the cemetery. Day of honor.

 

[macraven]

Grocery stores were packed today so came back home

Leftovers will do for us tonight

 

[pattyw]

Burgers with bacon and cheese, fresh corn on cob and some onion rings

Sounds yummy!!

Grocery stores were packed today so came back home

Yep- I think I'll wait until tomorrow to hit the store for food!

So Domino's pizza delivery it is! I guess I'm still in lazy vacation mode!

Some stick in the muds but most very nice. Parking lot is pretty cool, full of vehicles i don’t often see in my neck of of the woods.

My son has friends that invite him to country club pool-must be nice to have nothing to do other than work out and tan. When we lived in TX the nannies drove nicer cars than I did-didn't bother me-mine was paid off and ran great (although was a bit of challenge to drive stick and buckle baby into backseat of a 2door car.) Currently driving my 17 year old car-paid off, runs great.

There is no park i’ve ever visited that has more hills you have to climb up & down than BG Virginia

You haven't been to Silver Dollar City have you? the trek in is down hill. It is a long long hill to walk on way out. Not sure there is any flat area anywhere in that park. Upside-rarely see strollers or ECV as they don't do well with all the hills...

Was a sunny day-now sudden downpour. Should have listened when noisy hen suddenly ran for coop-thought it was just the clap of thunder that startled her. My cuddle chicken is unwell-had her in for most of day. finally ran to farm store for antibiotic-she perked up right before rain started (I cannot lose her!). Grocery store was empty for me Mac-had to run to get a few supplies for week: pork tenderloin (started on grill-currently being finished under broiler), baked potato, green beans tonight (picked up some stir fry veg with rice to use leftover pork), roast tomorrow (any leftover will be used in pasta dish). Hoping that's enough to finish week out so we don't have to toss food before we leave.

As for those ads-yeah they were on ipad all weekend, plus the new annoying ones inserted between posts-despite being signed in and ad blocker. Also board seems to have run of spam on weekends-I report when I see it.

 

[Lynne G]

Hey, I see UT has buy 3 days get 2 free ticket that Universal also offering as promotional ending in September.
Anyone know if these will be upgraded to seasonal pass with using a 5 day ticket as credit and not the 3 day that the ticket “actually” is, that is one Universal says is a promotional ticket? Otherwise may be better for me to just buy the 5 day one, and upgrade that, buying from UT and hoping to get gate value after using one day, and doing upgrade in park. Hehe, that means little one and I may do a June trip next year, as both our passes would be valid.

 

[Charade67]

It was nice having a day off today. I really don’t want to go back to work tomorrow and deal with people.
Solo was pretty good. It was nice having a back story for Han.

Sounds like a fun mother daughter day charade

Actually it was rather frustrating. B does not like to shop. It’s like pulling teeth to get her to try stuff on. I miss the days when I could choose her clothes and she would wear them without question.

Have you ever been to the North Carolina zoo? That place is exhausting.

Also on our Target run, the Yum Yum sign was on. Half dozen for dessert with ice cream that we also stopped at the grocery store for. Full.

What is the Yum Yum sign?


When you accidentally go to the movies dressed like the bathroom stalls.

 

[schumigirl]

Sounds yummy!!



Yep- I think I'll wait until tomorrow to hit the store for food!

So Domino's pizza delivery it is! I guess I'm still in lazy vacation mode!

Nothing wrong with lazy vacation mode.........I’m thinking of getting a sign made with “I’m on vacation mode” made and sit permanently in the kitchen........lol........

I have a large gap between some posts now that I didn’t have before.........I’ve never seen the ads everyone complains about.........no adblocker on this..........but it did seem to just be on the iPad I could see that annoying band that jumped about the screen........but, thankfully it’s fine.

Hope your chicken is better.........and hope your weather is dry now.........



We have had fog all night. Somewhat cleared now but can see it still at sea and in the hills behind us......actually can’t see the hills or the sea, but roads should be clear........DS just left for work so hope so.

It’s kinda rainy but not quite.......going to be a weird day I think.

We are going garden storage sheds searching today??? Not quite sure what is wrong with the one we have.........but someone wants a new one ......a bigger one........it’s out of the way and I won’t see it, so not bothered really but it’s not very exciting to shop for.......can think of better things to look for.

Dull breakfast this morning.........white toast and marmalade.......and breakfast tea.........

Have a great Tuesday..........

 

[Lynne G]

and, but,

and remember,

. Yep, so have a taco today, and enjoy this short work week.

For hills, see Hershey Park too. Lots of hills.

Oh Charade, Yum Yum is a doughnut shop, and since many businesses were closing early, we were kinda surprised that shop was still open, later in the afternoon, as we drove by. We expected Target to be open. They have good doughnuts, and sometimes better kinds than DD, at about the same price. We used to have KK ones near us, but not now. Closest is probably over an hour away. When in FLA, I see KK all over the place. We go on a doughnut kick from time to time. Now, won't have one for some time. We were just in the mood, and seeing it open, yep, came home with doughnuts.

Well, tea is quickly drank, and looking for food. It's going to be a balmy 80 today, as the heat index, for water in the air, says sticky. Yep, the cold front is moving out, and the heat pump high is bringing that Southern air stream. So far, we'll get the very outer bands of Alberto, by the time it tracks North by the end of the week. I'll be about 350 miles closer to it though, as I get to experience Keisha's weather.

Hope cuddle chicken is better MonyK. They are pets, and we love them. Yep, we had some nice downpours on Sunday, and some light rain yesterday morning. Still a gray day, today.

With that, enjoy this Tuesday, back to work for some, and others, hello, it's Tuesday, and eat a taco. I vote for lazy vacation mode for the whole summer.

- time for more tea.

 

[pattyw]

My cuddle chicken is unwell-had her in for most of day. finally ran to farm store for antibiotic-she perked up right before rain started (I cannot lose her!).

Hope cuddle chicken is on the mend!!

It was nice having a day off today. I really don’t want to go back to work tomorrow and deal with people.

I'm with you, Charade! Here's hoping both of our work days go fast and are pleasant!

.I’m thinking of getting a sign made with “I’m on vacation mode” made and sit permanently in the kitchen........lol........

I'll buy one, too!!

We used to have KK ones near us, but not now

Sadly, they closed by us, too!! Miss them so much!! Not that I need to pig out on donuts!!

I vote for lazy vacation mode for the whole summer.

Ok, we're up to three of us that need the vacation mode signs!!

 

[tink1957]

I need one of those signs too!

Monyk...hope your cuddle chicken is on the mend.

I got home from work yesterday and everyone was gone...the kids went to see Solo without me In all fairness, the movie started at 3 and I arrived home at 3:30. The kids thought that I got off at 5 so they didn't wait...oh well, I can watch it in a few months on dvd.

The remnants of Alberto are passing through today so no yard work like I planned. Right now I'm enjoying watching cmt videos and drinking my morning coffee

Hope everyone has a great day

 

[Lynne G]

Hope your coffee is hot, Tink. We did have tickets for Solo on Saturday, but got a refund deciding to not see it the day before. Enjoyed swimming instead, as it was steamy, and the pool was close to 80 degrees. Still felt cold in the water, but hey, pool time starting means summer is coming soon. I'm with you, we'll see Solo some other time. My SW loving kid is not really excited to see it, so it may be days before we get the urge to see it. Hope you don't get any damage from Alberto.

Morning Patty, yep, I'd definitely like some lazy time. At least summer, we don't have soccer, or anything to do most nights. And happily, little one got a job she can work nights and week-ends, and camp days. So quiet summer nights are my favorite, that and not having to pack lunches, as the kids' camp work, includes all food. And I told older one of being a summer CM at WDW. Hmmm, half of me thinks that would be awesome, but probably a long shot.

Morning Sans family




Happy Birthday to Keisha family who celebrated birthdays

 

[schumigirl]

Hey Robo…….

Hope your mister is doing better......been wondering how he was doing. And you too of course...….

 

[Robo56]

Had to come up to desk top in the office as i was having problems posting from my IPad. There is a glitch on the Dis again with mobile devices.


Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts for my hubby. He is home and doing well and starting Cardiac Rehab tomorrow. He is on new meds and I have tweaked the diet a bit. We are so thankful that it was not one of the major arteries that were blocked. The artery that was blocked that caused the heart attack is one that branches off the bend of the left main and do to its location could not be stented or it would have injured that major artery.

 

[Robo56]

Hey Robo…….

Hope your mister is doing better......been wondering how he was doing. And you too of course...….

Hi Schumi

He is doing well. So glad to have him home. He has been out of hospital for a few days and getting back into his routine.

 

[schumigirl]

Hi Schumi

He is doing well. So glad to have him home. He has been out of hospital for a few days and getting back into his routine.

I`m so glad to hear that news.

Must have been unbelievably scary for all of you. We think of everyone as invincible. I`m sure you`ll take good care of him and he`ll be just fine......take care of you too though...…..

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, so glad to hear both you and DH are doing well. Sending lots of more good wishes and mummy dust you are both in better health.
