I am so over this nasty heat! You can't spend any time outside without feeling exhausted

The only good thing to com out of this weather has been my ladybug, dragonfly and mantis that I brought in a few years ago have gone wild this year! We've got the coolest little mantis army.

I'm jealous.........we have gone this week from high 90's to low 60'sF! It is cool this morning.........

Had family down for pre-BD dinner for GD. Nothing fancy but the heat got to me, stomach is out of sorts. All that food and no appetite. Ah well = leftovers will do. Tomorrow her 'real' party on a Star Wars themed river boat cruise for a few hours. Always nice to see the ex-in-laws - especially not when trapped on a boat for several hours lol.

No idea what the leylandii is, must Google. I'm not much for gardening but quite fond of a Japanese andromeda that was at one point a plant but it morphed into mature overgrown monster by the time we moved here nearly 20 years ago. I've slowly pruned it & coaxed it into becoming a small ornamental tree. Almost reminds me of my wheeping cherry trees but their flowers rarely last more than a week or two...always turns cold here after first warm spell and they drop.

He is rather ethereal as an elf - aaaah.

Didn't think much of him until I saw a picture. Of him paddle boarding with Katie perry, embracing his natural side. Well, not all of him, there was a rather large black box. Hehe Buzz is he's in talks for a super hero movie role

There's a jerk quota - naw, an endless supply out there

Loves the movies, couldn't put my finger on which one I like the best. But two towers end battle is right up there. I'm big on epic types, war & monster movies especially thanks to my dad

Hope you feel better Janet.........upset tummy is never nice! And if you have to go on a boat.........

Sounds like fun though!!!

Leylandii grow huge...........some folks hate them.......ours don't affect anyone else so it's fine to put them where we did..........

I did enjoy LoTR and will watch the others this week probably..........yes, did see the OB picture on the paddling board...........yep, that was nice! Not the black box though........lol Enjoy today..........and special birthday wishes to GD......... :bday:

Still raining this morning..........feels decidedly cooler, so glad we planted everything yesterday........and no need to water them for a bit!

Time for bacon............

Ahh, back to reality. Kids seemed to survive and just as hot and humid as the beach.

MB was great. The ocean was warm, but the sand got hot, like burning hot. We had a nice hotel right on the beach. Hung out on the small balcony watching the sun set over the ocean. Took a little detour to Brookgreen Gardens. I thought being so hot, strolling in a shaded garden would be fun. Of course I did no research on it. Well, it was created by an artist, she was mainly a sculpter in the 1920's and 30's. She married a very wealthy railroad magnet. They kept and bought sculptures for most of their 97 years. Fascinating array of 1800 pieces. We only saw a fraction. Did I say it was hot? It was still hot in the garden, but it was also very beautiful with all the southern trees and planted flowers, and there was shade and water around or part of a sculpture's setting that also gave some cooler breeze.

So, it is a very sunny, clear day to start this Sunday.

Hope those all in that very unorganized weather system's path stay safe. Seems those in the Sunshine State will get several inches of rain. Hope all do not get any damaging floods. Seems once it enters the Gulf, there's quite a rainbow of opinions as to whether it will explode into a major storm, and where it will hit, anywhere from the Florida pan handle to Houston. In other words, somewhere in the Gulf.

So, time for that extra large tea. Have a serene Sunday all.

Oh, and happy birthday to Keisha's GD. :bday:

Not to be the only end of August birthdays, my little one will be a newly minted 15 tomorrow. As if I do not have enough gray hair.

Yep, I saw the picture without the blocked out section too. Just about gave this old girl a coronary. Guess his role as a Woodland ELF was appropriate in LoTR :laughing:

In the upper 80's today with humidity almost 90%. Had a couple small showers today.

Good to see you back Lynne.

Happy birthday to Keisha's granddaughter :bday:

.

Keisha hope your tummy settles down for the boat cruise.

Happy Birthday to Lynnes daughter :bday:

Well little sis called me last night and she would like to go to MNSSHP (guess that's the abbreviation for it). If someone can give me a short skinny on it? Looks like the there are no possible places for sit down dinner options on the days we might go. She is ok with that. Also dessert party booked if I read it right. This is a last minute thing.

Two possible day options are Sunday Sept 25 (her birthday) or Friday 30th. Which would be best?

If I understand it right this is a separate ticketed event like HHN at Magic Kingdom and opens at 4:30 pm?

Her birthday is the first weekend we will be in Orlando. So will try to make it happen for her if possible.

Looks like there is a Hocus Pocus show. Do you have to have ressies for the viewing area of that show? All info helpful.

macraven · Aug 28, 2016

Robo I've gone to mnnshp many times
With the price this year, I'm taking a pass on it

I will pm you about mnnshp
Later today

Some love it some say it is fine
Have never read anyone hates it

Robo56 · Aug 28, 2016

Thanks Mac. Last minute planning. Love my little sis. Will try to make it a happen for her if possible.

macraven · Aug 28, 2016

Robo any questions on the pm I sent you?

pcstang · Aug 28, 2016

I've read a lot about the parties. Seems the Halloween parties are more well liked than the Christmas party and not as packed in general. My kids are all about UO so we dont go to WDW anymore. Someone asked me if HHN was like the Disney party. Um, not exactly! Lol

Bit of a night owl. It's my quiet time and I enjoy it. Maybe if Trump gets elected a perk for us will be a flight on one of his private jets. In that case I'll see you next summer! Lol

macraven · Aug 28, 2016

I used to do mnnshp but the cost of tickets And selling more tickets that over crowd the event has stopped me from going

Those tickets are at $71 now
Not worth it for the candy and special parade

Lol.........I'm not a night owl at all........I like sleep! Always nice to see someone online when it's early morning for me........only the night owls hanging around then........

Last time I saw him getting off one of his private jets in Scotland he was getting seriously booed.......maybe hang back a bit if he does........ :duck:

I have an adr for 5:45 for 2 on 9/25 at BOG that I can't use if you want it. I'll be at that party with Robbie and Mike and we made an earlier one. That would be a good birthday present.

Robo56 · Aug 28, 2016

Tink will PM you. Thank you

I'll be there Tuesday the 20th for MNSSHP! I've only done it once before. I thought you could enter as soon as 4PM. Party starts at 7.
Check dinner reservations 2 days prior. People start cancelling to avoid the charge if they don't show up.
Not sure how they do dining during the party though as you cannot make FP reservations during.
I always like to eat somewhere "cheap" and quick during the ticketed events though so I don't miss all the action. Sister and I usually eat Casey's to catch the show and fireworks on our MK nights, though this is not a prime spot if you want to see EVERYTHING. We've seen the regular stuff so many times we can "see" it through the people!!! lol Honestly I can see it even when I just hear the songs...
I hear frontier land is great to watch the halloween one. It's right near the exit of the parade.

I hope you all have fun! Last time we did it we really enjoyed the rides and didn't really stop to do the other stuff. Now we're really looking forward to Hocus Pocus as that's my sister's favorite halloween movie. I also hear wonderful things about the parade so we're looking forward to that!

Yeah I was thinking last time we went it was around $55. Wasn't really impressed with the price, but hocus pocus!!!
We'll do it once and not do it again for 5 years. Last time we did it was 2010? or 2009. I think it was 2010 though.
If they had better pricing for AP's I think I'd be more impressed. We already have "unlimited" access so the park so shouldn't we just pay for the candy and shows not admittance? No that's not how that works? lol!
