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

[macraven]

I'm behind in reading and posting here as have been tied up at home and busy on the boards.

Just wanted to stick my nose in here so you know I'm still around.
Miss chatting with all of youse....!


I always miss the fun here when I'm not able to be on.

 

[Lynne G]

Mac, always have good thoughts for you.

 

[Sue M]

Attempting a catch up, don’t know how much of a success it will be! Tired tonight. To escape my construction zone I did a few errands then made some cottage cheese in the instant pot!
Went out this evening for a walk. My eyes are dropping!
Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, 39 yrs. Just having small dinner at home with the kids. Ordering out Chinese. My youngest and her fiancé will pick it up on the way here as it’s near them. Restaurant isn’t open for dining in yet so we’ll take out.
Another rainy day but cleared in the afternoon.

lol did I even send this? Woke up and still on my phone

 

[Charade67]

The elliptical is ready for use.

 

[Sue M]

Lynne yes there are pros and cons of working from home. I think I’d miss the social aspect the most.
We never have to use bottled water here. The only bottled water I buy is Perrier because I enjoy fizzy water.

Charade I’ve finally been able to find the blue paper masks in the store. A drugstore here, London Drugs has a whole centre aisle full of masks, gloves, sanitizer etc! Although I have a few cloth ones I bought a box of paper ones in case we do go on our Aug wdw trip. Doubtful at this point but still haven’t canceled. No idea when our border will open and the feeling here is when it opens will have to quarantine when returning. That would be the nail on the coffin for us as dd can’t take 4 was off for a 2 week vacay.
There’s talk when the June 21 deadline comes it will be pushed to end of July. Our vacay is Aug 1

Schumi still trying to keep up with the dust lol. If I don’t it drives me crazy and feel like I’m choking on the dust.
Good choice for present! New DVD will make everyone happy!

Now slowly travel is opening between provinces here. And actually between different areas within four province. It’s been hard between the BC/Alberta border as many in Alberta have vacation properties in BC.
It’s awful not to be able to see family esp if they fall ill. Hope you’re able to see your mom soon

Cheek still sore from dentist ugh. I think I may have bitten inside of cheek while it was frozen.

lynne I love the large porches, I’d love one too. Reminds me of my aunts house growing up. That was my downfall (no pun intended lol) when I fell. Was too busy admiring porches of the old heritage homes we were passing!
Sorry to hear you canceled Aug trip. But I think we’ll have to as well. Always hard.

KStarfish yay for another school year done. What a year! Crazy. Wish our weather was getting warmer. It was but now rain for days. It did clear up yesterday afternoon. Now back to the regular scheduled program.
We have been in stage 2 for awhile. A few weeks. I think there’s talk about stage 3 soon.
The spikes in the US are frightening.

MRose you can just park that truck by my house! I had not heard your opening is county by county? Here it’s provincial. Don’t know how county would work? If hair salons are open in one county but not yours, what’s stopping people from driving to where things are open?
Good to hear things are improving by you. Any large gatherings here have been canceled. Including cruise ships. We’re a big port for the Alaska cruiseason.

Elsaspirit welcome to my rainy world lol. I’m ready to grow gills. Yum to lobster anything! I’ll have to look for that at Costco. A few can’t hurt right? Not supposed to have pasta unless aldente but can’t imagine ravioli would be very good that way?

Yes, I think July 21? DL opens.

Schumi have to laugh at the road trip! One dd liked my music, the younger one, not so much. Always a battle for the tunes!

mcRose I don’t think I’ve ever tried Ethiopian food!

Monykalyn well, true enough about never opening borders if we wait till virus goes away, but opening when other countries are rising in rates isn’t good. Horrible situation.
Love the pool pic. Wishing I was there!

My youngest is always criticizing my driving ha! I taught her how to drive

MRose I had the perm in the 80’s lol! and yes Schumi I sure do remember those Banana clips! And scrunchies!

I’m looking forward to being able to have friends over too! We can in small groups now outside. But not inside houses. I’m thinking a July 1 outside bbq would be nice for Canada Day! Providing weather is good.
Cold and wet here too. In low 60’s.

Keisha ouch on roots. Doesn’t sound nice. No plastic. It was more taking tiles out of the shower and that water proof board out. No drywall sanding. Still created dust everywhere.

Lynne I always enjoy a good T-Storm when I go back east! They’re rare here on the west coast.

Schumi I admit to clicking on the beach cam where we usually stay in Deerfield Beach when visiting my mom. Love that area and the tropical colour of the ocean.

Keisha that wound sounds gross! Poor GD. Hope it heals soon.

Monykalyn yup can set your watch to those Orlando showers! 10mi at Uni wow. But yeah I think my usual count is up there too. Hard now to get walking in here with all this rain. I’m definitely a fair weather walker!
So sorry to hear about the resident passing away from loneliness. That’s heartbreaking. I agree they should have choices on if they want visitors or not.
It’s terrible for them and for family.

Vicki I have sprayed my mask with Microban. It’s a P&G product and no scent. I also use it to spray high touch areas etc.

Charade lol! That’s hilarious about bosses husband!
I was at DL last May. Seems so long ago! But we will both get back!
Ive never seen Bill & Ted either!

McRose I miss bread too. Having burgers tonight, sans bun for me. For the most part I don’t mind following diabetes diet but do miss desserts and bread. Although I can have sourdough! Within limits. My grandma loved Maryland crab!

Keisha my mom had Alzheimer’s too. She lived so far away, in Florida and I’m in B.C. On west coast so all I could manage was 2x a year. But I could walk in one day and she would say, oh your here! Totally forgetting I was there every day during that visit. It did become a blessing.

Hi Mac !

Charade elliptical looks great!

I better get vacuuming and clearing off dining room table.
It’s our Anniversary today, 39! Just celebrating at home with the daughters and fiancé. Youngest is bringing over Chinese from a restaurant near her that we really like. We were going to go there to eat but they aren’t open for dine in yet.
Rainy Saturday. Looking at forecast can’t see any end!

 

[macraven]

Happy anniversary Sue!

 

[Lynne G]

Sue,



Wonderful, and always like a reason to celebrate.

Thinking pizza tonight. Was a beautiful day. Some mighty large fluffy clouds but gorgeous blue skies in between.

Sue, I hope our borders open for you soon. I am sorry to cancel August, but we all think too early to go. I am keeping my September one though. And we are still toying with our January cruise, I think we are going to move it to later in the year. We do have some time to make that decision.

 

[Vicki Rickerd]

Woohoo its Friday. Best friday in a long time at work; I actually got to eat lunch. Do love Fridays and getting off 2 hours early.

Seriously questioning my outdoor work tomorrow. All the boys are gone and hubby is painting a car, so I am on my own. I have been scrapbooking our May 2019 Universal trip and really would rather work on that. Oh the joys of being an adult and feeling guilty if we do what we want to do instead of what we should do.

Jeff is putting steaks on the grill. Dont miss going to a restaurant, but I do miss someone making a drink for me.

 

[Monykalyn]

Few left at pool. Alysa wanted Mexican so her and DH went to get carry out. Have a gift card to On The Border - all those Months of online orders and I cashed some points in from CC lol. It’s been a sunny day with no rain today!

Interesting.... so no key cards to get towels. Do you return the towels to the towel bin at the pool, or use the same towels all week?

same towels but they happily drop bags off of more if you need. Washer and dryer in unit so not a biggie. Although we did get an extra bag as DH thought we were out for some reason. Think we have 20 pool towels for five of us currently

Do they have the kitchen stocked with plates, cups, utensils and cookware like always? I was wondering about that.

Fully stocked and real plates etc, saw a HK cart this am- they totally switch everything out between guests including the kitchen ware. Noticed no new peeps in those units but building on other side of pool now with occupancy- they seem to be rotating units so there is a longer gap before someone new goes into a previously occupied unit.

Sigh, going to guess he was a DNR otherwise ensure or a feeding tube until he had time to be counciled over the perhaps situation depression

yeah he was, I had him on house shakes, fortified foods, medpass and he was on Remeron. Now I’ve got residents who are with it claiming they need assistance to eat so they can go to do in room to eat - only the assist feeding residents are allowed to go to dining room for meals. These two rascals do not need assistance but they’ve found a loophole...and I’m about to tell my dietary manager make everyone an assist feed so we can start letting them out of their rooms. Our area is very low cases and no new ones for a while.

Feel bad to have not see my Mom since middle of March. Never, in a million years, did I think her having Alzheimer’s would be of any benefit. For lack of a better term, she has no concept of time. I could have a week between visits and she thinks i’ve Just stepped out of her room. I do thank God silently every time she knows who I am.

Most of the dementia patients have been doing the best. Except for the ones who know their routine and know it’s disrupted just not sure how. Thankfully most are easily redirected.

Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, 39 yrs.

Happy Anniversary!

am keeping my September one though. And we are still toying with our January cruise, I think we are going to move it to later in the year. We do have some time to make that decision.

Yeah I need to move my cruise too. Or just cancel but I got a deal so hate to do that. But with France trip now next year funds may not be there for both.

 

[keishashadow]

Hey Keisha, hope you are not in pain. Yeah, luckily, I had bought wipes from BJ’s, with a coupon, two weeks before empty shelves. Amazing to still see blank shelves in the cleaning aisles.

I’ve been very lucky but thrilled to see reg dentist Monday so he can shore up the bonding.

To escape my construction zone I did a few errands then made some cottage cheese in the instant pot!

That’s a thing, who knew. A friend does make her own yogurt but old fashioned way

The elliptical is ready for use.

That is a beast. Did it take loooong to assemble?

Keisha ouch on roots. Doesn’t sound nice. No plastic. It was more taking tiles out of the shower and that water proof board out. No drywall sanding. Still created dust everywhere.

Hopefully, not The sort of dust you’ll find for ages. Lol

Keisha that wound sounds gross! Poor GD. Hope it heals soon.

It really improved by time I checked this afternoon. Hooray

Keisha my mom had Alzheimer’s too. She lived so far away, in Florida and I’m in B.C. On west coast so all I could manage was 2x a year. But I could walk in one day and she would say, oh your here! Totally forgetting I was there every day during that visit. It did become a blessing.

I remember you mentioning that, had to be difficult to live so far away.

It’s our Anniversary today, 39! Just celebrating at home with the daughters and fiancé. Youngest is bringing over Chinese from a restaurant near her that we really like. We were going to go there to eat but they aren’t open for dine in yet.

Sounds lovely, enjoy!

I am sorry to cancel August, but we all think too early to go. I am keeping my September one though. And we are still toying with our January cruise, I think we are going to move it to later in the year. We do have some time to make that decision.

I’m still hanging in there, but now cancellable everything. Going to book a fallback week at Myrtle Beach but just saw SC is now a hot zone too

I have been scrapbooking our May 2019 Universal trip and really would rather work on that. Oh the joys of being an adult and feeling guilty if we do what we want to do instead of what we should do.

I admire people who have the patience to scrapbook

only the assist feeding residents are allowed to go to dining room for meals. These two rascals do not need assistance but they’ve found a loophole...and I’m about to tell my dietary manager make everyone an assist feed so we can start letting them out of their rooms. Our area is very low cases and no new ones for a while.

That’s quite funny. Same at my mom’s nursing home re meals.

Most of the dementia patients have been doing the best. Except for the ones who know their routine and know it’s disrupted just not sure how. Thankfully most are easily redirected.

Just had the weekly call from the home, interesting That The nurse made the same comment to me

 

[mckennarose]

Went to make a trip to the grocery store today and wound up at Old Navy. Stores are opening and by the looks of some things, you would think we already were green. There were long lines to get into TJ Maxx, Best Buy, The Shoe Dept just by those that I passed. I wanted to check if Pier 1 was open since they were going to liquidate their stock, and they were, but the line wrapped around the building! No way was I going to stand out there for an hour or so to get in. Sigh.... I'll wait until another morning and pop over.

But Old Navy advertised those linen shorts for half off and I managed to get the very last one in my size and exact color I wanted. There were only two total shorts left on the entire rack, all sizes, and one was mine. I love my linen pants and my linen shorts and couldn't pass it up. And the dressing rooms were open, which was kinda weird to see. It was strange to be back in a clothing store again and I was a little edgy about it. But we treated it like a trip to the grocery store, paid attention to how close people were, used hand sanitizer, etc. Masks are still mandatory so everyone had them on everywhere. I did notice some people waiting in the lines to get in the stores didn't have their masks on, but had them in their hands.

I will say that I'm glad NY is going down in numbers too because the NY plates were everywhere in the store parking lots.

We got to the store finally and stocked up on fresh veggies and fruits. I made the baby bok choy I bought for dinner with turkey burgers. All in all a productive afternoon.

By the time I came back into the room, not a single morsel was left from the sandwich...i had hoped to mooch a fry or two, boo hoo.

Oh no! Maybe you can get him to grab another for you this weekend... hint, hint...

Yeah, lots of food trucks in the City, but none around my neighborhood. Guess our township doesn’t like them.

I wish they would come closer to the neighborhood, but for now they stay near the businesses. It's for the best, since who knows how many people would line up.... just by looking at the line for the ice cream truck when it happens to wander this way!

Miss chatting with all of youse....!

made some cottage cheese in the instant pot!

Ohh, that's interesting! I never thought of doing that. I'll have to look into it.

Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, 39 yrs

Happy Anniversary!!

I had not heard your opening is county by county?

Yes, it's county by county in PA. We got the news today that our county goes green next Friday. I don't agree with the criteria, but things are improving so we'll see how this goes. My family member who works in the nursing home has to get tested, as Wolf wants all the nursing homes tested by July-something. She said she bets the numbers will go up, just by the fact that they are actually testing everyone in the nursing homes. It will be interesting to see.

If hair salons are open in one county but not yours, what’s stopping people from driving to where things are open?

Nothing. People were/are doing it now. My SIL's family went to another county (green) last weekend for dinner. We haven't done that at all.

Oh the joys of being an adult and feeling guilty if we do what we want to do instead of what we should do

Isn't that the truth! But treat yourself and don't give it another thought.

Fully stocked and real plates etc, saw a HK cart this am- they totally switch everything out between guests including the kitchen ware. Noticed no new peeps in those units but building on other side of pool now with occupancy- they seem to be rotating units so there is a longer gap before someone new goes into a previously occupied unit.

That is very reassuring! I was wondering how they were handling the dishes/cups, etc. Did they have a coffee maker like normal? I'm trying to think of things we might need in case we do decide to go in a few months.

That is very reassuring! I was wondering how they were handling the dishes/cups, etc. Did they have a coffee maker like normal? I'm trying to think of things we might need in case we do decide to go in a few months.

Im curious to hear how Monyk’s unit was handled too! Let me jump in to share mine, will be interesting to compare. Hoping her experience was a bit different

We we in one of the 4 star resorts in MB with stellar ratings. Booked a studio type set up with a full refrigerator, electric range & MW along with a coffee pot & toaster. DS’s family had a larger, 3 room unit but the same kitchen complement.

The way the other guests were acting at the resort and when we were out, you’d think the other visitors had never heard of the virus. Only saw a handful of masks all week & majority of them were pulled down under their respective noses. I found myself holding my breath on multiple occasions & trying to convince myself that would help the cause.

I refuse to cook on vacation but will do takeout & reheat leftovers from dinner. I brought disposable everything along for kitchen...couple of different types of plates, cutlery etc. Did nuke a couple of starbucks type cup of water to plop their brand of mocha instant into each day. Did the trick just fine.

I seriously spent a good hour sanitizing our unit upon arrival, even the balcony. probably the first time I left a unit cleaner when i left. Elected to forego housekeeping each day too. Was supposed to receive a bag of towels on door handle each day. Only one pkg appeared, had to call & remind them otherwise & they eventually showed up, but often after 11 pm. Thank God for pool towels!

What did annoy me was there were multiple signs posted prominently that only 3 people or 1 group of people at a time on each of the 4 elevators & masks were clearly stated to be worn...of course both edicts were disregarded. All lip service to adhere to having a CV policy in force for the website IMO

 

[Sue M]

Thank you all for the Anniversary wishes! My youngest and her fiancé were supposed to pick up the Chinese take out since it was close to their place. She pulls in the driveway and gets out of her car.....Empty handed. I ask where’s the food? She forgot! Lol! So back out they went to get it. Nice evening. They left early, dd leaving at 6am camping with a girlfriend.

Glad you had a nice evening!!! Good dinner also!!

We tried a new Mexican restaurant tonight, I have to say that it was excellent, sometimes I don’t look forward to this type of food because it always seems I can eat it then be hungry a short time later.......

Me and 17 year old both ordered steak fajitas.......wow steak was perfect and seasoned great, peppers were awesome, wife and youngest got beef burritos and we had a fried ice cream for dessert, only one other couple was there in the restaurant as we enjoyed the Mariachi Band playing..........

We even requested some songs from Disney’s Coco and they hit all the marks, such a great evening........it’s great to basically get a restaurant to yourself!!!!!!!!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

a quick Friday night stop in. I will have to read and do some catching up. Busy week at work, and we decided last minute to make a long weekend and head to visit the kids and grandbaby . Do we left yesterday afternoon and will leave Sunday morning. They change so fast. She will be 5 months soon and has changed so much in a month since we last seen her.

The weather here is not and beautiful...at home...rain rain rain, and cold. So I'm soaking up all the sun and warmth. Had some heavy thunder storms roll through both yesterday and today late in the day. Hopefully tomorrow no late afternoon storm.

Hope everyone is well...can't wait to do a little back reading tomorrow over my morning coffee.
Have a great evening everyone

Oh enjoy using that Charade....doesn't really look too much like an instrument of torture......

Although I have a few cloth ones I bought a box of paper ones in case we do go on our Aug wdw trip. Doubtful at this point but still haven’t canceled. No idea when our border will open and the feeling here is when it opens will have to quarantine when returning. That would be the nail on the coffin for us as dd can’t take 4 was off for a 2 week vacay.
There’s talk when the June 21 deadline comes it will be pushed to end of July. Our vacay is Aug 1

Schumi still trying to keep up with the dust lol. If I don’t it drives me crazy and feel like I’m choking on the dust.
Good choice for present! New DVD will make everyone happy!

Now slowly travel is opening between provinces here. And actually between different areas within four province. It’s been hard between the BC/Alberta border as many in Alberta have vacation properties in BC.
It’s awful not to be able to see family esp if they fall ill. Hope you’re able to see your mom soon

Cheek still sore from dentist ugh. I think I may have bitten inside of cheek while it was frozen.

Schumi have to laugh at the road trip! One dd liked my music, the younger one, not so much. Always a battle for the tunes!

MRose I had the perm in the 80’s lol! and yes Schumi I sure do remember those Banana clips! And scrunchies!

I’m looking forward to being able to have friends over too! We can in small groups now outside. But not inside houses. I’m thinking a July 1 outside bbq would be nice for Canada Day! Providing weather is good.
Cold and wet here too. In low 60’s.

I better get vacuuming and clearing off dining room table.

Sue, really hope you don't have to cancel the August trip! It`s not a nice thought at all. I agree, for folks not able to travel over borders, it`s a dreadful time. Although Scotland/England have no actual manned border, they are doing number plate checks on some cars, and you`re being stopped and asked if your journey is necessary.....we`d be stopped if we did cross I`ll bet. But, if mum or anyone in my family took ill, It would be nigh on impossible to not go up.

Oh dust when you have workers in is the worst!!!

I still see scrunchies around....but banana clips, haven`t in years maybe because it`s not 1983 anymore......lol.......hope you can have a gathering for Canada day....yes, we still can`t have gatherings inside....but we hope!!! I think my gang are all pinning their hopes now July 4th will happen......the realistic side of me isn't sure.

And maybe a day late.....but the sentiment is there.....

​

Woohoo its Friday. Best friday in a long time at work; I actually got to eat lunch. Do love Fridays and getting off 2 hours early.

Seriously questioning my outdoor work tomorrow. All the boys are gone and hubby is painting a car, so I am on my own.

Jeff is putting steaks on the grill. Dont miss going to a restaurant, but I do miss someone making a drink for me.

lol....Tom and I work that one out.....he cooks the steaks and I do the drinks...….his steaks are always perfect, my drinks are always lush!!!! Works for us ...….yes, not missing the restaurant experience, but missing the friends we see there....I did make up some rum mules last night....and they did have a kick and a half!!!!

Enjoy the scrapbooking and have a lovely weekend...….

I’ve been very lucky but thrilled to see reg dentist Monday so he can shore up the bonding.

I’m still hanging in there, but now cancellable everything. Going to book a fallback week at Myrtle Beach but just saw SC is now a hot zone too

Is that the original Dr Death????? lol.....he does sound so lovely though.....it`s nice to know he sees you when you need him.

Glad GD leg is healing up nicely, sounded a nasty one!

Cancelling is dreadful.....hope the end of the month trip goes ahead...sounds like it`ll be beautiful.....hope numbers drop too.

Oh we finally watched Knives Out last night...….we actually enjoyed it! I have only ever seen Daniel Craig in Bond or the Dragon Tattoo movie.....but he pulled off the dark humour well. I`m told Capt America was in it...… Don`t really watch those movies....I would have recognised Iron Man if he had been in it.....I like RDJ!!!

I don't think I`ve ever been in an Old Navy store? I remember seeing one in Long Island a couple of times we were visiting out there....I think.

Clothes stores are opening Monday here I think, but no changing rooms and extended return dates.

Yes, in no real hurry to go to a restaurant....although we can`t yet anyway....lol......but I agree it`s good to see NY numbers go down, they had the most dreadful death rate!

Thank you all for the Anniversary wishes! My youngest and her fiancé were supposed to pick up the Chinese take out since it was close to their place.

Enjoy that little grandbaby and all the cuddles!!! Yes, they change so much in a short time and a month, yes, you`ll see a difference. Glad you have some lovely weather too.....have a lovely weekend Pumpkin......



mac.....know you have been busy, but we always like to see you post......don't keep too busy….we all need that down time...…
Bacon up soon...…..





I`m like a broken record....but it`s still raining.

We had a reprieve for a few hours last night......when the Fog came in!!! Couldn`t see a thing outside, it really looked like a winters night in November and not June! Heard the rain start around 2am again....it was heavy!

It`s supposed to be on this morning then it`ll brighten up...I`ll believe it when I see it.....

Bacon and maybe pancakes this morning.....just me for pancakes apparently......and huge pot of tea.

No idea if we`re doing anything today....looking at the rain right now, I doubt it.

Still working my way through the thousands of real photos I have in boxes upstairs. Trying to scan them all, well, all the good ones......but it`s a lifetimes job I believe.

Usually a pizza night, but we have some lovely charcuterie and shrimp so think we`ll go for that tonight.....maybe make some rosemary bread......

Hope you have a lovely Saturday...........

​

 

[Lynne G]

What a beautiful morning! Sun out, beautiful blue sky, and 57 out. Decided to do an early morning walk as so refreshing and clean feeling with a light wind. No high humidity, so absolutely a perfect Saturday start.

Time for tea, and at my DSis’s home, so on her large deck off the back of her home, I am enjoying my tea cup while hearing the birds having their morning discussions in the woods just past the mowed part of the property.

Yum, I like Chinese and Mexican food. Glad to hear Sue and family finally got their meal, and nice meal was eaten by DisneyLife and family. While no open restaurants are allowed yet, some are now serving outside. And with weather like we are having today, one of these days, we may try outdoor dining, if the weather is nice out.

Pumpkin, busy you are, and aww, cute grand baby and sweet already 5 months old. Enjoy the sun, as your weather sounds not so nice. Hope the coffee is hot and plentiful.

Ah, Schumi is already enjoying her afternoon, yum breakfast, and hope your weather improves too. Fog, ooh you are really getting ready for HHN. LoL

With that, Vicki is happy scrapbooking, and yay, as hope you do get away for Halloween at Universal this fall, and your are feeling well.

Mac, hoping to see you in the Fall, and sending more good thoughts your way.

Super duper Saturday homies. Good Morning and Good Afternoon.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne.....what a beautiful day you have there! It’s lovely to be able to take advantage of it......an early morning walk sounds perfect. Enjoy eating alfresco if you get the chance......

We are surrounded by trees and birds too.....and those tiny little birds are so loud at times!!! I think we have a nest of Robin red breasts in one of our trees right now.....well, the guy who looks after our garden thinks so.....I wouldn’t have a clue!! Have a lovely day....




Yes, it does feel a bit HHN like today.....fog comes and goes....we’re just happy to see the rain stop! No plans to walk now as it’s just too damp.

I was vetoed on the charcuterie option for dinner tonight.......so pizza it is......no complaints here. Will open a nice bottle of red I think. And maybe another movie hopefully.......

Chatted to one of my brothers earlier......not much going on up there either.

Fresh pot of tea time.......

The way the other guests were acting at the resort and when we were out, you’d think the other visitors had never heard of the virus. Only saw a handful of masks all week & majority of them were pulled down under their respective noses.

Oh wow! Maybe that's why they're having a sudden surge of cases? Are masks mandatory in SC?
I'm seeing more and more people wearing their masks down below their noses too. I really don't know what going green next week is supposed to look like in regard to masks. I should probably look that up.

I refuse to cook on vacation but will do takeout & reheat leftovers from dinner. I brought disposable everything along for kitchen...couple of different types of plates, cutlery etc.

That's what we do too. I usually don't cook on vacay either but we do heat leftovers and bring breakfast foods and/or buy little snacks like meats, cheese and crackers to eat by the pool or on the balcony. And we do use the fridge for drinks. That's why I like a condo with a full kitchen.

All lip service to adhere to having a CV policy in force for the website IMO

That's disappointing.

Empty handed. I ask where’s the food? She forgot! Lol! So back out they went to get it. Nice evening

Oh no! I'm glad you got it sorted out and had a lovely evening!

We even requested some songs from Disney’s Coco and they hit all the marks, such a great evening........it’s great to basically get a restaurant to yourself!!!!!!!!

That sounds like fun! I love Mexican food!

Busy week at work, and we decided last minute to make a long weekend and head to visit the kids and grandbaby . Do we left yesterday afternoon and will leave Sunday morning.

Have a great visit!

I don't think I`ve ever been in an Old Navy store? I remember seeing one in Long Island a couple of times we were visiting out there....I think.

It's nothing special and really just a casual clothing store, but I love their linen pants and shorts for spring/summer. They're soooo comfortable and affordable.

Good moning everyone. Another Saturday of absolutely nothing to do.

I was at DL last May. Seems so long ago! But we will both get back!

We were there in June. I thought it was going to be an one and done vacation, but now I would like to go back again.

It’s our Anniversary today, 39!

Happy anniversary.

Seriously questioning my outdoor work tomorrow. All the boys are gone and hubby is painting a car, so I am on my own. I have been scrapbooking our May 2019 Universal trip and really would rather work on that. Oh the joys of being an adult and feeling guilty if we do what we want to do instead of what we should do.

I would take advantage of the quiet time and work on the scrapbook. I tried to do scrapbooking years ago, but just don't have the patience and creativity it takes.

That is a beast. Did it take loooong to assemble?

It took a little less than 2 hours which included unpacking. It was packed very well. The best part was that the hardware was packed in individual baggies based on the assembly steps. No trying to sort through a hundred, screws, nuts and bolts trying to find the correct pieces.

I refuse to cook on vacation but will do takeout & reheat leftovers from dinner.

Same here. Dh takes it a step further and won't even reheat leftovers.

We tried a new Mexican restaurant tonight, I have to say that it was excellent, sometimes I don’t look forward to this type of food because it always seems I can eat it then be hungry a short time later.......

Me and 17 year old both ordered steak fajitas.......wow steak was perfect and seasoned great, peppers were awesome, wife and youngest got beef burritos and we had a fried ice cream for dessert, only one other couple was there in the restaurant as we enjoyed the Mariachi Band playing..........

We even requested some songs from Disney’s Coco and they hit all the marks, such a great evening........it’s great to basically get a restaurant to yourself!!!!!!!!

Sounds like an awesome experience. My family loves Mexican food. We probably eat at our favorite restaurant far too often.

Busy week at work, and we decided last minute to make a long weekend and head to visit the kids and grandbaby . Do we left yesterday afternoon and will leave Sunday morning. They change so fast. She will be 5 months soon and has changed so much in a month since we last seen her.

Enjoy your weekend with the grandbaby.

Oh enjoy using that Charade....doesn't really look too much like an instrument of torture......

I used it yesterday and it's not bad at all. Very esay on my knees.

Oh we finally watched Knives Out last night...….we actually enjoyed it! I have only ever seen Daniel Craig in Bond or the Dragon Tattoo movie.....but he pulled off the dark humour well. I`m told Capt America was in it...…

Yes, Chris Evans was one of the main characters. It was weird seeing him playing a character like that after watching him as Captain America for all those years.

I'm seeing more and more people wearing their masks down below their noses too.

And hanging off theIr chin. I think I would rather they just not wear one. We are supposed to be wearing masks indoors, but I have noticed that a lot of people still aren't wearing them, and I doubt that many people have actual medical conditions that prevent them from wearing one.

I need to go figure out something to do today. It is going to be a realy nice day, but most outdoor venues are still closed.
