It was nasty but we are fine. Lots of down stuff, lots of water, my neighbors basement has water with a current.
In and out of warnings for tornadoes all day. They missed us. Amen. Still we had 60 mph sustained winds, river went over but all the mess I just look at the towns that are flattened, many of which you will see roofs on ground, foundations but no clue to what happened to the house that was between the roof and foundation so we were blessed.

Glad to see you checked in. I hope things quiet down out there!

Are they making a Mr Potatohead?

Yes they are! I forgot they used to play with real potatoes.

Wouldn't that be a science project?

Well, if that doesn't prove that the "magic" of Frozen is starting to thaw, nothing does. Perhaps Disney should let all those Frozen plans melt away before it's too late. The fact that you haven't watched it in that long would be like @JenniferS admitting that "Titanic" was a terrible movie that made a fortune by exploiting a real life tragedy that killed thousands of people. We all know that ain't gonna happen!

Of course not. Titanic was the single greatest cinematic achievement.
Honestly, after it was released, Hollywood should have just closed up shop and sent everybody home. It's all downhill from here.

Gotta love crab rangoons.


I hadn't had any Chinese in a while and I was craving it. There are no good Chinese restaurants in the town I live in, but since I was out of town today I was definitely getting me some Chinese food.

gotta have the opportunities!

1988 2 hr or less flights
1990 6 hr or less flights - but pilots were able to continue to smoke
2000 all flights

Also, Planes go higher in altitude now if I remember correctly.
I wonder if its related to that as well.

I haven't watched it, but I bought an Elsa shirt a few weeks ago. It still isn't over...

First home game of the season.

Not yet, but, like global climate change, it is creeping on in. Olaf is about to find out what happens to frozen water when it gets warm.

I hear that the are going to re-release it under a new title. The new one will be a documentary titled... "How to make one of the worlds greatest disasters into a love story."

I'd like to wish you good luck ... but for some reason, I just can't.

It was cold and drizzly the rest of the sea day so we decided ice cream (we had yet to use that 24-hour ice cream machine! ), Thrill Theater and a NAP were on the afternoon agenda. We found that there was an ice cream and frozen yogurt machine serving vanilla, chocolate and twist every minute of the day except for an one hour of the wee morning when they clean it.

On the way to T.T. we happened to pass by The Library Bar game room which had checkers and chess set up for people to play. It also had walls of books so I just had to stop and look inside. Half of it is set up as a quiet wine room for reading and the other half is set up for rainy days or late nights when you don't want to hang out in the clubs aboard. Two glass cases were also filled with Hasbro games and puzzles. My daughter saw Sorry and all bets were off for going to T.T. Two hours later we finally took a nap.

Dinner this evening was Cruise Elegant. Some people went overboard fancyschmancy but many (like yours truly) wore their Sunday best. I was impressed the wait staff had learned our names already and could even tell the twins apart even though they are identical. My daughter and I enjoyed the steak so much we ordered the same exact meals as the first night. Mmmm! We did change up the dessert though. We both had Warm Chocolate Melting Cake. (similar to a chocolate lava cake )



Maybe it was the chocolate adrenaline running my brain but I decided hey, let's go to the Thrill Theater before it closes. After reading the title "Extreme Log Ride" we thought it would be like Splash Mountain...as you remember....it wasn't. Ohhhhh the steak and chocolate were at war in my tummy! Never again! The poolside movies were The Other Woman and The Fault In Our Stars (still not appropriate for my kid) so we toddled to our room for the evening. We had to be up for our shore excursion by 7 a.m. so sleep was welcome.

TO BE CONTINUED with "Wave hi to the island!", Blue Iguana and chickenpoodle.

So glad to hear y'all are safe. Prayers that y'all stay that way.
And, many prayers to the family and friends of the woman who lost her life, and all those injured or affected.

ETA: Two lives lost. So sad.

 

[Gabe1]

biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig!

Yep, that was our yesterday. And that was just one of many and they were cloning themselves, multiplying in numbers. Nasty.

Upside I have far less fall leaves wedged in my evergreens. Don't know where they went to live but off my property.
I wound up with a coat, soccer ball and a garbage can. Wonder what I'm missing.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Wouldn't that be a lot of potatoes with holes stabbed in them?

 

[donaldtoo]

Some people can spend a day in IKEA, I can spend a day at Cabela's.

Yep, I can do Cabela's, too.

Thanks. As happy as I am about the great news for him, Feeling a bit guilty about having a bit more time for me.

No guilt. Ya' gotta' take care of yourself, too...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Yesterday was rough.

The like is for bein' safe and sound in spite of it all.

Adopted Son, who is admittedly not a baseball fan, just watched an inning or so with me, and asks, "Can't the other team just call Uncle and end the game?"

No Dude, there is no Mercy Rule at this level.

Just waiting for confirmation as to the September opening date, and Hubby says, "S-crew it. We're booking Coronado Springs ... WITH DDP for all five of us".

Not sure when he won the lottery and didn't tell me.
