Something About Nothing ... #12

We ended up with a new daughter, son in law and grandson! Grandson so cute-sent the new daughter fruit bouquet for Mother's day-well grandson had to call and say how much he liked the "strawberry popsicle, and pineapple popsicle and the grapes popsicle-he called the fruit on sticks popsicles. Love that age! Can't wait to see pics of trip!!

That is amazing news! Happy for you. Thought of you while away, couldn’t believe the number of roosters & chickens roaming in all the Hawaiian islands we visited, far more than what you see in the Caribbean, even in downtown Honolulu in front of fancy designer stores!

Told they Originated from various ship wrecks/due to storms. Turns out they are a protected species there of all things & have no natural predators. They sure seemed to be in more than ample supply ambling around nearly everywhere we went & quite healthy. Heard more than a few travel professionals derisively refer to them as ‘speed bumps’ :eek: Yet we consistently observed traffic coming to a standstill when the chickens decided to cross the road lol

Glad you’re back Keisha........and look forward to seeing the pictures.......will hide them from Tom who is still angling for a little mini cruise........eh, no. But, glad you had such an amazing trip. Hope your boy is much better now.....what an awful thing to suffer from. Sounds like it is hereditary.......he’ll be glad mum is back.....doesn’t matter their age, we still need our mums. That is a bargain dress!! Love those........I have a couple that were definite bargains.....but look more......::yes:: you did suit that one especially.........




So, up early today........still haven’t quite decided what to do today......will do that before we head over for breakfast......

Parks are busier but not manic.......although Potter area the other day was heaving, but we did go in late morning....never a good idea.

Just watched the sunrise again over RP......beautiful.....and another hot day planned.

Maybe a quick park visit this morning then off somewhere else........first though, chat to Kyle........::yes::

Hope all are good and happy Saturday..........:wave2:

(I do need to catch up on posts)
 
Keisha, sounds like Key West. Those chickens were everywhere. Protected too. Yes, will definitely check out your trip report. Love Hawaiian pictures.

Schumi, early bird for you. Trip sounds excellent so far, and will surely check out your trip report for this trip too. And woot, more time booked for next May.

Time for tea. Enjoyed a very long shower, and the sun is shining, with a nice 83 as the high. Shorts on. On yeah, I am ready.

Hope each homie enjoy their Saturday today.
 
Morning Sans family :wave:

Welcome back keisha.

Thanks again for the pics you sent me what seems a long time ago of Pearl Harbor, helped a lot in organizing our visit there, which I really enjoyed.

Your very welcome....so glad you enjoyed your visit to Pearl Harbor. It’s both beautiful and sad for sure.


Seriously, first time I saw the love bugs oh-so-long ago the first thought that came to minds was OMG it’s a plague of biblical proportions lol.

They are terrible every few years. My cousin and her husband came to visit one May and they were terrible. They were flying in mass all over the beach and the restaurant windows we took them to on the Ocean were covered with them....so much for the Ocean View....that was a particularly bad year.

Sorry to hear your son was hospitalized with migraines...hope he is feeling better.


Hi to Patty and Robo and Sue too

Hey :wave2:


Morning Schumi :wave2:.....so nice to hear you are having a enjoyable trip. Have a great day today :sunny:



4 sleeps until grandson and I leave for vacation.....will meet up with him tomorrow and discuss any special things he wants to do...it’s his vacation so want him to be happy with it. Planned one day at Kennedy Space Center. Was sorry to see they keep moving lift off dates on the rockets as there was one originally planned to go off while we were there. That would have been the cherry on the cupcake for sure, but it was pushed to another date.

Has anyone every tried the P.F. Chang’s at Mall at Millenia...we always eat at Cheesecake when we shop there and never tried P.F. Chang’s?


Lynne hope your tea is hot and tasty this morning :wave2:

Have a great day to all the Sans family :wave:
 


Good morning everyone. I am having a fairly lazy Saturday so far. I’m not even out of my pyjamas yet. The only productive thing I have done is tossed in a load of laundry. I have absolutely no plans for today. B has a theater picnic this afternoon.

Hello sunshines :). Really a lovely trip, believe I may do some sort of pictorial TR, maybe file it in under Aulani. Will post link here if i get up a head of steam.
I would love to see a pictorial trip report.

And you would think that storm would have dropped the temp. Nope. Just muggier out.
That reminds me of a line from an old movie, I think it’s Rear Window, where one of the characters complains that the rain only makes the heat wet.

Woot! hope the dentist is painless as well. I hear ya on the sleep.
Thanks. I always have good dentist visits. I’m in year 51 of no cavities.

Has anyone every tried the P.F. Chang’s at Mall at Millenia...we always eat at Cheesecake when we shop there and never tried P.F. Chang’s?
I haven’t been to the one at that particular mall, but I have been to several other locations. I have always enjoyed my meals there.

I should get up and do something, but I am feeling very lazy right now.
 
Good morning! Long holiday weekend here, Victoria Day. I’m on the mend, thanks for all the well wishes. Yesterday I wasn’t quite up to lunch out with friends but I did go get my nails done! But found out my nail person is leaving to open up her own salon. Today is her last day. She’s the best. But her new place is an hour drive away, ugh. So I may go once or twice during the summer when weather is good, but find another person at the local place. She’s told me who’s good.

Beautiful sunny, warm day here. Brother in law coming for his usual Saturday Night dinner. Wish we could bbq, the weather is so nice. But BIL needs soft food because of some recent major dental work, so Shepard’s pie it is.

Tomorrow going to daughters to watch season finale of GOT. Tues night going with both daughters to see Avengers End Game. Need to see it in recliner theatre! So long!

Keishashadow welcome back! We saw lots of chickens roaming around Key West!

Monykalyn I can relate. Occasionally I’m at a restaurant when allergies kick in full force and my sinuses and head get so bad I have to leave. Once I’m out of the environment after 5 min I’m fine.
I wish we had frozen custard here!
Congrats on new family members!

Charade glad to hear dental good news. I’m having a lazy morning too lol. 10am and phfafing around on Dis ha!
That’s impressive, no cavities! Neither of my daughters do, but the dental care now is so different than when I was a kid. No routine cleaning, sealing, painting on fluoride and my uncle was a dentist. I have a mouth full of fillings.

Schumi sounds like you’re enjoying yourselves! Our last day we had a lovely breakfast at Islands, sat outside, had a nice table seemed like we were in our own grotto tucked away with lots of greenery around. Eggs benny and mimosas! Going to Disneyland in August and we discovered there’s a Hot & Juicy in Anaheim! Yay!
Traveling to Florida going west to east I have never seen a Florida sunrise, lol! Probably never will!

Lynne enjoy your day! Sunshine here but only supposed to get to 68f. It’s only 10am but sun streaming in thru living room feels warmer! Also telling me I have some window washing to do lol!

Robo enjoy your next holiday with grandson! KSC is fun. We went years ago combining it with a short 2/3 day Cocoa Beach Stay. The daughters love the RonJons surf lessons. Last time they got the same guy that did the Typhoon Lagoon surf lessons.
We’ve only been to PF Chang’s in N. Miami Beach/Aventura. It’s near where my moms old condo was. The food was good, but over priced imo, and small portions. We don’t have them where we live. There’s one near the hotel we stay at in Anaheim but we haven’t bothered with it. There’s so many good Chinese restaurants near home, I can’t see paying PF Chang prices, but that’s me.


Well time to get in the shower and out of jammies! Have some housework with my name on it!
 
Yeah, don’t really like P. F. Chang’s either. Overpriced not our taste Chinese.

Excellent day at the amusement park. We had a great time, and beautiful high 70’s temp with bright blue skies.

Enjoying some cheesesteaks and hoagies for dinner. That kinda day.
 


Howdy Y'all! I HATE being so busy that I don't have time to touch base with my SANS folk! Hope y'all are healing and/or healthy! :love:
TONS of rain here over the past week +...13 inches in two days! :fish:

We're marrying off the "middle child" in a few weeks, so that has put us in a perpetual State-of-Urgency for the past month-or more. :scared:
TOO MANY TRIPS coming up! Baltimore late July...Plus...Just snagged a Royal Pacific AP Rate for HALLOWEEN! :yoda: So-of course-gotta try to grab a few nights at Mouse World too! (F & W Time!)
PLUS...We've already got the big Christmas trip too-(17 Crazed family members!!!)...so planning time is here! :rolleyes1

Congrats! Sounds like you’ll be pretty busy to New Years!
 
Saturday again. Oldest kid back to arkansas this am to get to work-basement 1/2 filled with loads of her stuff. Will be home on Sunday for a week before she takes off for summer internship in New Mexico and Alaska. DH and son managed to get lawn mowed before storms and warnings started, soccer game cancelled. Got some shopping done, including a new suitcase - been wanting a hardsided spinner for ages, discount store had one-done. Sweet n sour chicken for dinner.
Kiddo took my car as hers needs a new ABS module ($1K fix-eek!). she won't need it all summer though.
traffic coming to a standstill when the chickens decided to cross the road lol
They can be quite commanding :rotfl:. Sounds like an interesting trip
Was holding Charlie baby earlier-she was tired and had her head tucked on my shoulder with her beak in the hood of the dress I'm wearing. Think she'd have stayed there all night...babies are babies no matter the species...

I’m in year 51 of no cavities.
Amazing! DH and the kids have never had a cavity, and my only 2 were in baby teeth. Our Arkansas dentist office referred to us as the "easy family with all their teeth"

Wow sounds soooo fun! congrats on the wedding and let the parties BEGIN!

Robo love the Minions!!!! And like Sue-we love KSC(currently DH has the annual pass there) and last few trips have spent time there or cocoa beach. *sigh-just need to move to Florida...
Have 6 days of work before official vacation time
Today is Dh's oldest dtr bday-exactly one year ago we met her for first time. We've all reflected on how it seems we've known each other longer than a year!! even the boy was amazed at only being a year as he's kinda reserved around new people.

May make a cup of tea (hey Lynne:wave2:) and head to bed...
 
Hey, MonyK. Sounds like a busy house. And our neighbor chickens must have liked our nice day too. The bully one was quite loud around dinner time.

Buckeev, congratulations to engaged, ready to marry offspring. And lots of countdowns. Big woot for those. Hope you dry out soon. We have been in way to many gray days for me.

Sue, glad to hear you are feeling better, and yay, for long weekend. We, thankfully get one this coming weekend.

Robo, hope you are doing well. And woot to you for the single digit countdown. So nice to travel with grandson.

Keisha, hope life is back to normal.

With that, I am not a night owl. Watching some of the news, but I need to holler lights out. Kids like to be night owls. Ack.

See, was a great day in the park.

Nighty night all!

Indeed it is a Sunday. Loud train whistle in the quiet neighborhood.

Think the zoo is again in our radar today, so hoping not too crowded with the nice weather for most of the day. Storm warnings are for later today. With the dew points in the 60’s, a sticky and hotter day, with 87 the high. And yes, suntan lotion on, and my hat. Forgot that when we were at the park yesterday. Little one will get a dark tan. Me, not careful, red.

Ah, quiet morning is a lovely way to start my Sunday.

May this find all the homies having had a good night sleep, and a perfect Sunday, feeling good.

Tea, oh yes.
 
Morning Lynne! Enjoy the zoo!
Think we are done with storms for today, so maybe the makeup soccer game (one of many makeups) will be on for today.
Need to weed the garden, and replant a few things I think. I'm used to getting my first harvest of early spring plantings by now, but with the late start it will be a few weeks yet.
Kids have Monday and 1/2 day tuesday and school out for summer. Then middle and youngest have to get summer clothes sorted this week-or they will be naked on vacation:rotfl2:. I only have tuesday off this week-got hair appointment, and then Cardinals ball game (got tickets for whole family) - may just hand some cash to the older one and put her in charge of taking the other two shopping...between Ross, TJ Maxx and Target they should all find what they need.

Decided to book hotel near airport as we have such early flight-easier and way less stress than trying to get everyone up at zero really dark thirty and fighting Stl traffic to airport if we stayed at Dh's dads. The Drury is right next door to where we drop car for parking so super easy that morning.

Time for coffee-have a fabulous Sunday funday!
 
Can never go wrong getting cardinal tickets monyk!
I always did when I lived in the St. Louis area

Being naked in public does not go over well once they are a year old
Hope they find the clothes to buy today

Your kids get out early from
school like they do in my area
But then ours start school first Wednesday of August

We like the Drury Inn
Always clean and the extras they give
guests are a sweet bonus

Hope all the homies have an awesome Sunday

I’m off to SS and church in an hour

U got me on “SS”, Sunday school ? Jr is such a fan of the Drury Inns after visiting STL. Can we hear a “go blues”? Game 5 in San Jose 3 pm PST today.:bounce:strange bedfellows for the mister & me as dyed in wool Pittsburgh fans but the hockey team now holds 2nd place in our hearts lol

Going to poke him to install at least one of the BR portable AC units. Unseasonably hot here & humid of all things. Toss in either a spring cold or allergies and it was a restless night for me. Remainder of home is comfy with the ceiling fans running on low. Big storm set to hit around 5 pm today. Really hope GD’s game is over by then. Hate that feeling of being out on field with lots of bleacher metal when storms are in area.:eek:

Monyk - congrats on the great dental record. Aside from good habits & fluoride in the water supply, I’m convinced a large part of it is heredity. Figure my family has put one of the dentists kiddos thru college :). Trip is so close for you now. Charade who wins the dental award:thumbsup2, is right behind you. Who is next here?
 
Quick post before heading out for the day. We are going to brunch and then to B’s baccalaureate service this afternoon. She also has senior dinner tonight, but that is for students only. I guess dh and I will go someplace that we like, but B doesn’t.

My church doesn’t use the term Sunday School. I’m not sure what they are calling it now. It has changed a few times. At one point that were calling it Bible Fellowship. It will always be Sunday School to me.

I’m not sure heredity plays a part in my good dental records. My father had a full set of dentures, my mom wears a partial and the rest of her teeth aren’t great, my brother has had almost every major dental procedure there is, and my sister was the cavity queen when we were kids. I’m not sure what happened with me, but I am very thankful. So far it looks like B is going to follow in my footsteps.
 
Happy Sunday all!!

It's Graduation Day for Troy! So proud of him! Bachelor of Fine Arts Magna Cum Laude!



thumbnail_IMG_6453.jpg

The Grad party will be held at the request of the graduate (yep- twist our arms, Troy!) In ORLANDO!! We leave 5/23!!:goodvibes

Have a great day- Schumi is in Orlando, Lynne is visiting the zoo, Charade is celebrating B's graduation!! Monyk's off to a soccer game! Mac is off to church!

Happy Victoria Day, Sue!!

Welcome home to Keisha! Robo is ready to pack for the vacay!!

My religion calls it CCD, just as well, Confraternity of Christian Doctrine doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue

Wow, you are a lone wolf in ur family re dental issues, poof, there goes my theory

Thank you. It is nice to be home. Have decided that anything that long is just ‘too long’ for us, especially as to our pooch who we dearly missed. Ten nights seems to be the sweet spot for me going anywhere. With mr’s work schedule & as to what they term a vacation week: saturday 11:50 pm to the same the following saturday, it often limits us to only 6 nights per ‘week’ unless he takes two of them at a time. Next year he’ll get a sixth week woohoo another week to play with :)

As well you should be proud! Congrats on raising another smart kid, as evidenced by the choice of locale for the party...nevermind the academic awards :). JK does he have plans in place for employment or further education?
