Well, a good morning to ya all! Frost warnings. Yep, overnight low around the freezing temp. Jacket on, but a beautiful sun in the horizon already. I'll be enjoying it, as by the afternoon, clouds and the fun chance of a thunderstorm or two. But, we won't have to wait long for some nicer temps, happy about that. See, the weather lady said, the payoff is mid 80's by the end of the week. Yay! The time of year, heater on and AC on during the same week.

Well, the dress show did not go very well. The one dress, I will ask my SIL, if some changes can be made on the dress that little one likes the best. If not, sigh. More shopping. It's hard to find her a dress, as she is more happy in misses clothes than junior clothes. Because of that, dresses tend to look to too old for her, and while a ball gown does fit her nicely, column dresses are more her style, and mom, no one will be in a ball gown. Well, in another month, the dress choice will be worn, and I'll try to post.

Sue, have fun in the parks today.

Charade, hope you are feeling better, and got a good night sleep.

Mac, sounds like a perfect way to celebrate your anniversary. Hope you are ready for your trip in 2 days, and feeling good.

With that, tea is needed, and maybe even that sweater. Long sleeve blouse, as it's almost cool inside.

Happy Monday all!

 

[macraven]

Lynne, you are a great mom and shopper

I would tear my hair out shopping
for a prom dress

Look at a dress, try it on, buy it

My shopping is done
Lol

 

[tink1957]

Good morning

Finally got a day off after one of the busiest weeks I can remember at work...guess I'd better enjoy it since I have to go six more days before I get another.

The plan for today is to see Endgame and go to the hibachi place...I may or may not cut the grass but I have to get my laundry done.

Good news is we may be taking a beach trip to PCB in July depending on whether I can get the time off. All Trey had to do is say that he wanted to go and I had it booked. I didn't want to wait since it's the weekend of the 4th and will book up soon. It will be the first time in 5 years we all can go as a family since Danielle is off that week too.

Carole, your dinner sounds delicious as usual.

RFF, hope your mom is better soon.

Lynne, good luck with the dress shopping. I'm glad Danielle always found her dress quickly but she hates shopping so I was fortunate that way.

Sue, have a great trip and hope you find a place to watch GoT.

Hi to mac, keisha, patty, robo, ck, pc, monyk, charade, bobbie, three, agavegirl, robbie and anyone else who is reading along...have a happy Monday

 

[pattyw]

I don’t know about that. My two boys are a pain in the *** most off the time. My daughter is my angel though!

No worry- someday they will have kids of their own and get a dose of their own pain in the ----!!

Nearly 2am just into bed another challenging day as poor Mum not well again I headed over after a few phone calls and dialled the ambulance straight away. Been with her at the hospital until now and she seemed more stable - intravenous antibiotics up and hopefully will improve quickly. Apparently infection in her leg where she had a skin cancer removed three weeks ago. She’s wonderful for 91 but poor dad very sad to be left on his own.
Good drive home saw a badger and a fox - love night driving.
Definitely should sleep now!

Sending prayers to your mum!

Mr Mac quite enjoyed the drinks
So I ended up doing the driving

Nice to let Mr. Mac enjoy a few drinks!

Guess I really needed the sleep.

Hope you're feeling better!

Off to bed. Early alarm!

Have fun!

Still have the baked ham for dinner tonight.....will make some gratin potatoes I think and broccoli for my two....I`ll have roasted peppers.

Sounds yummy!!

Well, in another month, the dress choice will be worn, and I'll try to post.

Can't wait to see it!

Sounds great, Tink!! A family vacation is so special!! Hope your work days fly by!!

Happy Monday all!! Chilly here- frost on my car this morning!! Sun for a while then clouds and some rain moving in! Half day today- taking my mom on some errands. We'll grab lunch out, too!

Have a great day all!!

 

[Lynne G]

and

.

Well, the sun is still out, and thre's a breeze and clouds. 52 out now, so walk for lunch is a go.

Tink, so nice to have a day off, and enjoy the movie and dinner out. And yay, for booking 4th of July family trip. Beach time. Yes!

Patty, yep, we have almost the same weather. Enjoy out with mom, and lunch.

Mac, yep, I do what I have to do. Shopping is not my most fun thing to do, but I want her to be happy and feel good in the dress. I told her my finger has a blister from all the zippers I had to pull up and down. LOL

With that, tea for me. Not sure what dinner will be. Maybe pasta? Not sure. Now if Schumi had left overs...... Just kidding. We did go to the grocery store yesterday, so it's more, what the kids want.

 

[macraven]

Nice thing about living in Georgia is weather

Temp will be 86 in a couple of hours
80 about now

Temps for our trip Wednesday to Vicksburg will be good
Mid 80’s

I’m good living in this area intil temps stay in the 90’s

But with downstairs and upstairs,
each have their own ac units

Electric costs are cheap here compared to what we paid in N Illinois

 

[macraven]

Vicki I hope you get the time off work and can do that trip
So much fun time to spend with your family !
Enjoy!

Lynne you have the patience of a saint!
That’s a lot of shopping to find the best dress

I’m in and out of store quickly
I’m not known as a shopper

Vicki hope you get the trip sorted out.....would be lovely for all three of you to take a trip together after such a long time......and enjoy your day off.....sounds like an incredibly busy time for you......leave the grass and chill out for a little while....sounds like you need a day of doing very little...….

Lynne.....lots of leftovers…...ham is only half gone...…. That`ll be lunch tomorrow...…



Well, drove all the way to see our new car today as it arrived from Germany a few days ago...….There isn't a Porsche dealership close to us, so it`s a fair old drive to the closest one we deal with...….

We love it!!!! It wasn't properly cleaned and ready obviously, but we got to sit in it and admire it.....cannot wait to get it now!!! Chose our number plate too....really happy with it.

So, stopped off for dinner on the way home at a little pub....served really good food. Then watched GoT…...boy was that exhausting...…..enjoyed that episode a lot!!!

Need a cup of tea after that...…….

 

[pattyw]

Lynne- hope the kids pick out an easy, yummy dinner!!

Mac- time to pack!! Your trip is so close!!

Schumi- yay for car shopping! Sounds amazing!!

Had a great lunch with my mom. We did many errands too! Now I’m at my hair salon. Time for a color and cut!! Don’t want to know if my hair has any gray!!

Joe’s in charge of making us a healthy dinner!! He’ll have it ready when I get home!! What a gem!!

 

[macraven]

I love hair days!

So nice to be pampered and get the hair all dolled up
So relaxing!

And you will have dinner ready tonight by Chef Joe

Life can’t get any sweeter


I leave for Vicksburg Wednesday morning and have no idea what to pack
Will be back Sunday night

I have my hair appt tomorrow
Usual cut and color job

I’m catching up on the dis now
Had quite a few appointments to tend to this afternoon

Went to two different stores for can cat food to please our Luna
She is a fussy eater

Hired a pet sitter and hope cat comes out of hiding at food time

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. A quick post before B goes to dance class.
Today didn't start off very well. I managed to burn the last Panera bagel I was going to eat for breakfast. . Things improved at lunch though when I discovered I had enough points to buy an entire Chick-fil-A meal plus a cookie. Also had a ver quiet day at work.

It's hard to find her a dress, as she is more happy in misses clothes than junior clothes. Because of that, dresses tend to look to too old for her, and while a ball gown does fit her nicely, column dresses are more her style, and mom, no one will be in a ball gown.

I have the same issue with B and dresses. She doesn't care for a lot of the Junior dresses, but finding an age appropriate looking one from misses is difficult.

Look at a dress, try it on, buy it

Yep, that's how I like to shop too. Thankfully B found her prom dress rather quickly. She doesn't really like to shop either.

The plan for today is to see Endgame and go to the hibachi place...

What did you think? Overall I enjoyed the movie, but there were a couple of things I didn't like. Can't say too much without giving spoilers.

Time for a color and cut!! Don’t want to know if my hair has any gray!!

I need to do that sometime before graduation.

Gotta run. I'm going to the grocery store after I take B to dance.

 

[pattyw]

I leave for Vicksburg Wednesday morning and have no idea what to pack
Will be back Sunday night

I'm the worst packer- I don't know what "pack light" means! So pack a little of everything! and what you forget, buy new!!

Hired a pet sitter and hope cat comes out of hiding at food time

I think only 3 cats actually come out when we're on vacation! even when the pet sitter is my sister! I guess they take joy in making me feel guilty that we're gone and their schedule has been disrupted!

Things improved at lunch though when I discovered I had enough points to buy an entire Chick-fil-A meal plus a cookie. Also had a ver quiet day at work.

Sounds great!! Free lunch + dessert+ quiet day at work =

Watching hockey playoffs- yay for Monyk! The St Louis Blues are winning!

Time for some rum!

Good night all!!

 

[Sue M]

RFF.....hope your mum is doing better this morning...…

Janet....missed your other goodbye wave...……

mac....glad you enjoyed Longhorn...….love a good steak!!!

You’d be surprised at how quiet that pub was, everyone intently watching. Cheers or groans where appropriate!

We arrived at RPH today around noon. After talking with hotel desk about views, we ended up in tower 1, with a view out front of the waterway, and terraced garden. Off to the left you can see rip rocket. Very pretty.

Everyone ( watching GOT) will be happy to know we do indeed get HBO in the room! So pooped tonight we stayed in and re-watched last nights episode. So good.

Had dinner at Mythos, the fork & spoon grilled cheese in tomato soup

 

[macraven]

Woot!

Now the fun begins

Tower 1 does have some great views
I had T1 last year and a beautiful view of dr doom and water canal

 

[schumigirl]

Oh don’t us ladies love our hair do days.........nothing quite like a couple of hours getting pampered and coming out with brand new hair.......well, not quite new hair.......love some salon time.........

Enjoy you hair time today Mac...........I have to wait till Thursday.......and you leave tomorrow.....Fabulous!!! Yes, packing light isn’t my forte either..........the amount of clothes I bring for our three week stay is ridiculous......but wouldn’t have it any other way.......

And shopping.......bleurgh.........only when I have to ........and apparently I have to in America.......lol.......

Fab news about HBO Sue........I had one friend say they didn’t and one friend say they did........now I’m not sure whether to watch in our room or go with friends.....hmmmm. Glad you got a good room........



Up early as we’re taking Kyle to work as we need to borrow his car as ours is gone now........boooo......first time we’ve ever been without a car..........we did think of hiring one for a week.....but didn’t seem worth it when we could borrow Kyle’s........he’s off the weekend and next Monday as it’s another Bank Holiday so car will be there anyway and then we leave Tuesday........wooohooo..........

So, early breakfast.........I’ll be starving by 10.30am!!!

Oh.....it’s Tuesday........

 

[Realfoodfans]

Morning everyone - currently in intensive care with Mum. Amazing care but things are touch and go. My brother brought Dad in to see her last night and prepare him for any possible scenario but difficult when they’ve been married 67 years. She didn’t know as she’s sedated but glad he got here. Will know more over next 24 hours. Positive thoughts.
Hope all those holidaying have good times and make memories because heck don’t we spend a lot of time enjoying those memories!

 

[Lynne G]

Lots of hugs and lots of positive thoughts for you Real. All take care, and hope for the best for your mom.

Schumi, your new car sounds great. And woot! A week from today, fun to be had. And yeah, with me being an early riser, by 11, I am so ready for lunch.

Charade, hope you are feeling better soon. My throat feels sore, so pills are being taken, and hope I do not get sick. Great you had enough points for food. I have points there, but have yet to use them on anything so far.

Sue, glad you have a good room at RPR, and nice view out your window. T1's one door is very close to the walking path. I've had a room in that Tower before, too.

Yep, count me in the happy hair day as well. Older one and I are going, but little one will most likely pass. Legally Blonde by 7 tonight. It is nice to be pampered.

And yes, ladies and gents. It's a Tuesday, and you know what that means, yep, Hulk's handing out tacos, and Mac may well be doing a Taco Bell run. Taco Tuesday is upon us, so have a taco or two, and enjoy your day.

Well, time for tea, and ooh, we are getting a temporary AC tomorrow. Seems, parking spaces will be taken up from the AC unit, it's the size of a 20 footer trailer, or large bus. When they turn it on, sweater will be used. We tend to wear winter clothes in the summer, as the AC is cranking, and the Heater is so good, we tend to wear more summer clothes in the winter. Ah, living where there's seasons.

Later homies, sending more good thoughts to Real.
