@Mr Ferret 88 are you all ready for your cruise?

Think so. Got all the fish extenders finished and all the clothing bought. Just gotta think about packing .

 

[MinnieM123]

@Songbird76 i hope you have given thought to what you're going to wear on your feet during your trip.

Shoes? Just a thought . . .

Yet another clothing store closer.

@Songbird76 i hope you have given thought to what you're going to wear on your feet during your trip. What you decide on can be so important!

I was thinking maybe pink. I like pink. That is currently what I have. Or possibly green. Or maybe bright blue. Bright blue can be really pretty in the summer...

Oh you meant shoes, not nail polish.

Applied for a summer internship yesterday. Got an email this morning about an interview on Friday.

 

[donaldtoo]

Out for me, we got in two walks today. And more beer!

 

[donaldtoo]

you mean making everything explode into tiny bits of potatoe and human gore?

Uhmmm...no.
Just the potatoes.
I eat "potato gore" on a pretty regular basis.

I have no idea why I imagine @donaldtoo chasing after this guy while the Jackety jax song plays in the background.

 

[donaldtoo]

Hope to "see" y'all in a bit...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

I prefer to keep my hair short nowadays. It was too hot in Florida when i had it longer.

Was time to visit the groomer for a buzz cut?

 

[Gabe1]

I would go there in a heart beat. I get to pick one restaurant, as does every member of the family. I'm choosing this or Ponderosa. I've heard it's good too. Thanks!

Wow Ponderosa! That and the Sizzler were very popular when I was very small along with the Ground Rounds. I don't think I've seen any of those anywhere in this area in 25-30 years. I will also ask my DS for good eats in the area. He is generally a fountain of info when it comes to food.

I'm glad we bring water bottles

I'll be paying $3 for a bottle of water.

Sending sun and warm weather your way @betty rose and anybody else that wants warm! We hit 86 yesterday!! I pulled out the shorts and felt like I was in Florida. It was great. Today, we are in the low 80s. Getting out a lot and messing with my plants and weeding.
Everyone have a great day!

I spent 4 days outside pulling out last years plants. Fixing the dirt. Plopping in some spring flowers just cause and planted 3 tomato plants and some Kale. Raked up some dead spots in the lawn put down some grass seed (the birds were happy.)

And now we are getting rain and will for the next couple days. Hopefully it will break enough here and there for me to replant the spring flowers that the squirrels keep tossing out of the planters and leaving me a peanut in the flowers place.

I'm looking for restaurants outside Disney. There are quite a few. Hoping to lessen the costs.

I understand how that can work for you and your DH. I'm surprised your DD and her family are willing to venture off site and give up the parks time-but feeding that group has to be expensive especially with growing young guys.

 

[Gabe1]

I know you folks probably wouldn't go there but we a re regulars at the GC nearby when we go ( lack of any interesting place locally)

Then again, I'm not even a fan of Disney Buffets. *ducks and hides*

I'd ask. It's bad enough having the stone without being forced to drink something you don't like without knowing why there is something special about it that nothing else can accomplish.

How gospel it is, who knows....

It looks like it was chopped by a weed wacker. Sorry, not a good look.

Ha! You are so funny.

I like it far more than her Mis doo though.
