I love it. I’ll have to remember that one. The plane that takes me from Charlotte to Orlando will be larger.Teenage jet, lol. Charade
Hope that goes away soon.Have had a witch of a headache off & on all
Day to point my eyes are crossing. My stomach just lurches then, can tell when that happens without lookiNg. All Motrin’d out.
I flew in a Cessna once. Never again. It was only a about 15 minutes, but I hated every minute of it. I’ve also had a short flight in a helicopter. It wasn’t as bad as the Cessna.I thot of the small Cessna. I chartered to fly over Kaui today. Owned bigger minivans

Starting to think these just might be migraines. Have had happen now & again for decades. Today’s apparently my day
Ruth it’s a win to find that dress in a day! Sorry for the water works, sometimes a good cry can be a good thing
Carole my crowd was not happy with me when I impulsively spied a dress on my own, tried it on & that was it for me lol. Fell in love with a scarlet O’Hara vibed Chantilly lace, hoop skirted number. The shoes, however, took me forever to find

It was rated for three adults & their gear, not a pound over 520# total. Yes, you had to step on a scale with your gear.
File it under the idea it seemed better on paper. Took all my nerve to climb into it. Kept looking at the line propeller. Beautiful time tho, glad I went outside my comfort zone

Just a quick drop by to turn the porch light on and tell all sweet dreams
cat feeding comes early tomorrow morning for me
IT will go fast now!Everyone is talking about countdowns so thought I would get in on the fun. My countdown is
That sounds like an awesome excuse! No tickets for us. Dd found a couple of the expensive tickets - and she declined buying them. And would rather have that amount spent on something different.GD informed me today that ‘we’ needed supplies to make friendship bracelets to trade there. I blame that $40 Amazon order on Taylor Swift
That is me now!!! You deserve each day that you get to enjoy where you are. After years of living in a cold climate - it's everyone's dream to do that!!!!!I used to be jealous of those that lived in the South until living here.
Now I don’t
That's awesome!!! It's always a fun day!!!!Well, I finally know what a wedding dress trying on event is! I bet Grace tried on 100 dresses in 2 hours! Actually, she tried on about a dozen before she finally found "The One". It was the last one she tried on, and it is really beautiful! Sigh........
Her best friend started crying, and then Grace started crying, then daughter Robin, then the grooms Mom, and Graces sisterinlaw, and ME! I can't help it. If someone cries I jump right into the cryathon!!! . We weren't crying about the dress, but about her leaving Today But she should be there by now and unpacking. I imagine there will be a lot of trips to St Cloud to visit in the future
Wow - that's great that you are picking up where you left off on it and not completely abandoning it.I’m watching Harry Potter while working on my stitching project. This one is a picture I started for dh about 25 years ago. It was abandoned for many years and I’m finally finishing it up.
DH was outside cutting grass last night. We have had so much rain the last few weeks - ours is still tall and very green yet.DH is outside, hoping to do yard work later this morning. Time of year, the grass starts not growing as fast,
When we flight out of here - the commercial carrier uses what we call the eggbeater. It has two big props on each wing. There is only one flight out of here on a bigger plane - all the other are the eggbeater prop planes. Not my favorite either - but it's cheaper on fuel for the carrier to have this smaller one with more flights coming in than larger ones. With a crew they hold about 104 people I believe...so it's not just a little plane. Thank goodness those flights are only 1 - 1/1/12 hrs long.Oh that is small!!! Nope.....the only time I had to get in a small plane was in the UAE through Tom`s company, scared the bejeesus out of me, we didn`t land, we practically dropped like a stone. Never again!!!! In Norway once we were supposed to get on one of those little seaplane things......hell no! We ended up travelling by train and it took 5 hours as opposed to a 40 minute flight.....lol....I was popular that day! Although to be fair, the train was beautiful and the journey was lovely so I was forgiven......
Making a quick Saturday morning stop in!
Busy last few days at the homecare job. Yesterday was a gong show. All I'm going to say is that the IT guy that came to work on our equipment yesterday was a complete moron on a powertrip. He tried to take away our desk laptop because we explained out how and what we needed on our desktop for our job - he was like this is what you need Why are you mansplaining or ITsplaining what I need - when I/We know what we need to have to do our job. Had a to get the manager of the whole department to step in and put him back into line. Now we all have to file reports of the incident blah blah blah. Ugh...I'm still ticked off about it.
Weather is nice-ish lol. Cooler and windy today. Not sure what dh and boys have planned while I'm at work, but I"m sure they will find something to do.
IT will go fast now!

But I did notice that our leaves have done the slight subtle turn of green meaning that fall will be arriving soon here. Which doesn't surprise me. We have had a cooler summer - with many cool nights. This morning - I had to put my defrost on to get the fog and humidity off my windshield
Well, I should get started on my day here. I have lots of little things to do to get schedules ready to send out for next week.
Have a great day everyone!!!!
Sounds nice. Only the Amish call their areas villages here & the large senior communities where people are put out to pastureOur village has a little fun day going on day, Summer Fete with lots of different stalls, one of my friends has a stall selling her baking all proceeds to go to a local charity. Always a nice event that most of the village turns out to.
Village is not a word I ever hear used in America by Americans, I`ve asked several folks if they have ever heard it used and seems it`s a no. Strange. Or maybe not so strange.
Somebody’s covering their hinnyNow we all have to file reports of the incident blah blah blah. Ugh...I'm still ticked off about it.
Smart kidNo tickets for us. Dd found a couple of the expensive tickets - and she declined buying them. And would rather have that amount spent on something different.
Accompanied by the smell of pumpkin spice? LolBut I did notice that our leaves have done the slight subtle turn of green meaning that fall will be arriving soon here.
Wicked storms kicked up around 10 pm. My dog literally spent the night between top of head & the headboard. I’m a zombie. Going to look into edibles for him. Supposedly, safer than the rx. Most I’ve talked to planes say they use for their crated pets
Sounds nice. Only the Amish call their areas villages here & the large senior communities where people are put out to pasture
Every time I hear village, my mind adds idiot
People here tend to refer to their location as: name of whatever township, Borough, town, city or county
Somebody’s covering their hinny
Smart kid
Accompanied by the smell of pumpkin spice? Lol
Freely admit to being the official fall grinch. What’s odd here is that scourge goldenrod hasn’t bloomed yet. It’s late, like my tomatoes lol
Lynne
who is your favorite English football player?
Just back from Publix.
Mr Mac returns home today and told him light dinner of rare roast beef Boar for dinner with caesar salad
So he better not stop for fast food when he is half hour from home!
Hope your tea is strong and yummy this morning. Sounds like you had a nice time at the Village charity sale. It is always nice when folks come together for a good cause.As the tea drinker of the group Robbie, I will definitely take a cuppa from you....nothing quite like it!!!
I saw on the internet that Micheals store said they are selling out of the bead making supplies for the bracelets as the kiddos going to Taylor Swifts concert are making bracelets and trading them. I also read that Taylor Swift concert coming to Cities is generating millions for local economies.GD informed me today that ‘we’ needed supplies to make friendship bracelets to trade there.

Me too. Not having much luck yet. Just got out of my walking boot last week. I’am a work in progress. We will get there.I'm trying to get into better shape before my trip, but don't know how successful I will be.
I hope your headache goes away and you feel better soon.Have had a witch of a headache off & on all
Day to point my eyes are crossing. My stomach just lurches then, can tell when that happens without lookiNg. All Motrin’d out.
Yes, it will. It will be time to leave before you know it. It seems that when the day arrives to leave initially things move slowly then the vacation is over before you know it.IT will go fast now!
What happened to the affordable concert tickets. I haven’t been to a concert in many moons.That sounds like an awesome excuse! No tickets for us. Dd found a couple of the expensive tickets - and she declined buying them. And would rather have that amount spent on something different.
I don’t like the small planes, but oddly I don’t like the huge planes either. On our flight to Alaska we were in a plane that has 5 rows of seats in the middle. I don’t know why, but I felt uncomfortable on that flight.That`s not much bigger than a private plane, but yes, at least it doesn`t have propellors.
I might actually have the project finished next week. Text me when you get to your hotel, or the day after, and we can make plans.Charade, hope the sewing project gets finished this year. Nice you got the idea to pick it up again. Will be nice to meet up with you next month.
How annoying. My office is so small that we have to outsource our IT.Busy last few days at the homecare job. Yesterday was a gong show.

Sorry you weren’t able to get tickets. The price of concert tickets is just insane right now.No tickets for us. Dd found a couple of the expensive tickets - and she declined buying them. And would rather have that amount spent on something different.
Well…..it was intended as a gift for dh and he knew I was making it, so I feel obligated to finish it.Wow - that's great that you are picking up where you left off on it and not completely abandoning it.

Ruth I was invited to go with granddaughter for her dress search. I didn’t know it was an event now either. There were a number of us invited. I wanted to make sure no one tried to sway her one way or the other. It happened when she tried on one dress that an aunt piped up and said that is it. She looked at me to agree with her and I told her it is the brides decision and granddaughter would let us know when she had found her perfect dress.
I was a little surprised at how expensive wedding dresses and veils are these days. It was an upscale Bridal Salon with personal attendants and all the bells and whistles. Things have really changed since I shopped a wedding dress many moons ago.
Granddaugher was beautiful on her wedding day and the dress looked great on her.
I’am glad to hear you were invited to the dress shopping event. I’am sure she will be a beautiful bride on her special day.
Well I supposed to get up to go and do some grocery shopping early this morning. That did not happen. We had an early morning storm and I just did not feel like getting up. So I need to get moving.
We have been invited to hubby‘s cousins house for lunch tomorrow. I offered to bring dessert and a pineapple upside cake was requested so need to get things for that. Going to make some cookies to take along too.
It is

days until I leave for vacation. I think my little sis is coming again this year. It will be nice to have her along.
Need to get scootin. Have a wonderful Saturday everyone.
Taking a break from cleaning. Dh’s friends are coming over in a few hours. I am not someone who enjoys entertaining especially when it is people I don’t know.
I had a disastrous morning. I went to empty a container of Damp-rid, dropped it and it spilled all over my bathroom floor. The stuff that dissolves as it is collecting water makes the water kind greasy. It got under the litter box mat and all over my new (just put down yesterday) bathmat. I ended up cleaning the floor with Dawn dish liquid. What a mess.

Aw, poor little guy. Caspian hides under the bed during storms.
I’m waiting for my bathmat and slippers (another casualty of this morning) to dry and then I am goig to shower and get ready to meet these people dh has invited over.
The selection in local store last week was lame, to be charitable. Also, wildly expensive and no coupon applied. I do try to shop local, however, I’m at the point if it’s a chain, there is no difference between them and amazon.I saw on the internet that Micheals store said they are selling out of the bead making supplies for the bracelets as the kiddos going to Taylor Swifts concert are making bracelets and trading them. I also read that Taylor Swift concert coming to Cities is generating millions for local economies.
I haven’t been involved in that for over 15 years. Do recall thinking I heard it wrong when just the veil for DiL was $800. Pretty sure my entire outfit was well under $200 and it was from a designer. Of course, that was back in the dark ages.I was a little surprised at how expensive wedding dresses and veils are these days.

That sounds like an epic mess, lucky the color didn’t bleed out from the chemical.storms.

I get some people are uncomfortable with idea of entertaining in general. My thought is to invite those who have hosted you at least once a year out to dinner, even if it’s just a moderate/casual place.At least you do entertain Charade....we know someone, she is someone who always gets invited to all out get togethers and we have never known her once to host anything, not even have folks round for drinks,

My daughter has some for one of their little guys. He doesn't travel well in a vehicle. That really helps him.Going to look into edibles for him. Supposedly, safer than the rx. Most I’ve talked to on planes say they use for their crated pets
Give your Mr a big hug!!!! Sounds like a fantastic meal - I would probably drop in to see if you have extra if I lived close to you.Just back from Publix.
Mr Mac returns home today and told him light dinner of rare roast beef Boar for dinner with caesar salad
That's awesome!!! I'm hopeful that as we ( my sisters and I ) get older that we can start to do things like that together. My youngest sister still has younger kids (13 & 9) so a few more years for her - and her girls won't need her as much anymore and she will gain her freedom again.days until I leave for vacation. I think my little sis is coming again this year. It will be nice to have her along.
I went out to look too (before I went to bed) - but it was overcast here last night. I haven't hit social media yet to see if anyone caught some good images locally. There was lots of talk about it on a local facebook group.We had some cloud last night but looking out to sea we did manage to see some of the meteor shower last night, well early hours of this morning!! What were we thinking! Thankfully it was mild outside but generally too much cloud to see how spectacular it was, but you could see some of it and it was clear to the naked eye, you didn`t need any equipment.
