Need to tell Lynne to have a great family vacation and to be sure to wake up on time
Lynne have a great flight and a fun time on your cruise!

I miss TinyD not here
She was the one person that was up late in the morning hours

Hope she is doing fine
Now that she is married I guess she has a regular sleep schedule

I’m awake too Mac. I woke up to what sounded like someone tearing the living room apart. Yesterday I gave Caspian a new wand toy that has 3 attachments. He had gotten one out of his toy box and was throwing it and chasing it. He has calmed down now, but I am wide awake.

 

[schumigirl]

Have a great trip Lynne...….hope it`s a lot of fun!!!!


I`m guessing mac and Charade will be asleep now...….it`s horrible not being able to sleep!



Beautiful Saturday morning here......sun is shining, although not overly warm, it`s not freezing either.

Got a load of boring housework done this morning......more laundry....

No plans to go out today, made chicken noodle soup for lunch with some olive bread. Dinner is chicken in a smoked maple syrup sauce....basically a bbq sauce with the maple syrup added. You don`t need much as it`s fairly strong. We buy that in Mount Dora, so, trying to make it last.

Hope you have a lovely Saturday...….

Ooh so foggy out, and warm feeling. Thought I saw the headless horseman more than once. Very thick. Hoping our noon time flight is not delayed.

Quick ride and quick security, now waiting. It was either an early drop off or ride the train. Option one, and thanks for all the travel wishes.

Yep, and a Saturday too. How nice is that.

pull up a chair & dig in all

Unseasonably warm here the last few days

just stopping in while enjoying morning snuggles with the grand dogs and coffee with Bailey's.

I knew there was a reason I liked you lol. I stock up on the bailey’s flavored creamer over Xmas, only time i can find find it. Figured best not to have a bottle of the real stuff in the house, can just imagine the increased caffeine intake i’d have every day lol. Will say when cruising I do indulge and either have it or a Bloody Mary to start my day

Christmas trees are all down and everything else is down too.......rooms all look so bare now! Now to pile it all back in the attic.

Got this am & plugged mine in, gotta get the last few gasps out of it

I'm loving the new iPad and Apple keyboard. I should probably get a screen protector though.

I’ve gone thru two of the non apple keyboards on mine. It encases the ipad ala a full case. Have never bothered with a screen saver. Will say they have likely saved it several times over the years. Have the first air model, has replaced my laptop entirely. When case runs out of juice every few months I find myself struck dumb. Get so used it it, one of those things you wonder how you ever managed without it.

It has rained from the time we left Southern Indiana until just a few minutes ago. We are about 50 miles north of Valdosta. Sadly we have seen the aftermath of multiple accidents. Folks just driving to fast in pouring rain. Folks are doing a lot of weaving in and out and getting far to close to each other.

Oh my goodness! You have had far more than your share of bad traffic on your journeys. Some highways do just seem to be far worse than others.

Ooh so foggy out, and warm feeling. Thought I saw the headless horseman more than once. Very thick. Hoping our noon time flight is not delayed.

Lol, good one. Fingers crossed you are soon to board and start your advernture!

 

[Lynne G]

On da plane, let’s hope this full flight arrives early.

 

[keishashadow]

On da plane, let’s hope this full flight arrives early.

Woot!

 

[Charade67]

 

[Lynne G]

Well, 15 minutes late, and here comes the baggage wait. Hope that goes fast, at least.

 

[macraven]

Once you get your luggage, the fun trip will really begin

 

[Lynne G]

Sunset at the beach, nice place, and waiting for food in a cute bar we walked to.

 

[schumigirl]

Glad you arrived safely Lynne......


Janet one of my gifts from Kyle this year was a bottle of Baileys. It`s a while since I had it, but I`m one of these that never wastes.... I mean puts it in coffee......much prefer it in a glass with ice. I didn't like the keyboards for ipads…..tried one or two but prefer to type on the ipad itself....and never used a screen saver. Never needed one, and screens on mine have always been fine. Even the oldest of three.





Well, Sunday again......already been our to the store to get some fresh stuff for the next couple of days, back home and planning a day of nothing. Tom is through in the room with the giant tv having a Dr Who marathon day......Weeping Angels was on when I took him through a cup of tea just now. I`ll give that a miss. Although that episode was a good one.

Planned a rib roast for dinner tonight but was vetoed in favour of roast chicken. Will jazz it up a little somehow.

Weather not fabulous, but still much milder than it should be this time of year, I think we may pay for this mild weather in February, which can be brutal.

Lunch is proscuitto and avocado slices on white toast.

Have a good Sunday........

Morning Sans family

Morning Schumi

Well it was 84 degrees here yesterday with lots of sunshine. It’s suppoed to be 63 today and with low of 45 tonight. Will be cooler for next two days then will start warming up again. Guess we brought the cooler weather with us.

Well while my husband was driving Friday I had just finished posting and about 15 minutes later my husband was moving over as the left lane was narrowing with construction barrels to close it and as he was moving over to middle lane which was clear for him to do so a car raced up along side us. Hubby had 2 options either continue to middle lane and be hit or go to left and hit a construction barrel. He quickly chose the barrel. It all happened in a flash. We pulled the car closer to inside wall and assessed the damage and collected our thoughts and thanked the Lord for His protection. Rubber scrapes on left quarter panel and no significant damage. Drivers changed and off we went back on the raceway .

Hubby’s quick thinking is why that idiot in the other car and ourselves were not injured. I would like to shake the hand of the person who designed those barrels. They move easily and when struck cause very minimal damage.

The driving behavior I witnessed on 75 Southbound was beyond anything I have witnessed in all the years I have been traveling on it. The posted speed limit is 70 and everyone around us seemed to be going at least 80 to 90 or more mph. It didn’t matter which 3 lanes you were in all lanes were equally fast. The police were out in force in Georgia, but once we crossed into Florida did not see many.

Well, my highway rant is over

On a positive note house is cleaned and grocery shopping is done. I have my mug of coffee and I’am sitting in my favorite chair in my family room looking out at the the palm trees and water.

Had rain yesterday evening that brought in the cooler temps today.

Lynne glad to hear you all made it in. Hope you brought a warm sweat shirt for the next couple of days. It will be warming up according to weather folks over the next few days. Have a great cruise.

 

[macraven]

I’m glad you and your husband were not injured

Cars are easier to repair than people

Many sections of I 75 are dreadful to drive
I drive on it but not fond of it at times

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, phone says 54 out right now, Robo. So sorry an aggressive driver made your DH to scratch the car from too close to the edge of the road. Yeah, driving to the beach, we saw many aggressive, no lights when dark, and no arrows showing changing lanes. I hate construction areas, and really hate what I call cattle shoots. Glad to hear safe, and enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Yep, have a sweatshirt, long sleeve hoodie, and a lightweight winter coat, than folds into a bag. So yep, though have to say, 54 was the high yesterday at home, and short sleeves and shorts were what was worn, though I think my older one did put on a sweatshirt before we left.

Breakfast at the beach, then a bit of a ride to park at the port. And woot! Full sun at least. Glorious!

 

[Disxuni]

Glad you’re okay @Robo56 and @Lynne G’s flight seemed to go well. Which is good news.

I hope everyone has been having a good weekend!

Currently finishing up lunch at Mel’s. Thinking about heading back to the mothership already. Debating on whether I want to wait for Horror Make Up Show so I can see it before I leave like I always do when I’m on the Universal side.

I’m awake too Mac. I woke up to what sounded like someone tearing the living room apart. Yesterday I gave Caspian a new wand toy that has 3 attachments. He had gotten one out of his toy box and was throwing it and chasing it. He has calmed down now, but I am wide awake.

Add me to the awake list! Too funny about the cat!

 

[macraven]

Disxuni
Hope you stayed for Horror Make Up Show

I hit that show numerous times when I am in the park

I know the basic script is the same but different actors make changes and ad libs frequently

I always get a kick out of it!

 

[Lynne G]

Goodbye St. Pete’s Beach:

Tune to drive to the port:




Eating lunch on the ship, view from table:



Woot:

 

[macraven]

Nice!

Your adventure has officially started, have a great family vacation!
