Good idea. It is all gone now. I had made scalloped potatoes with it so mixing those was good too.



And we are looking forward to your pictures!

Oh my. Meatloaf AND scalloped potatoes...!!!

Having nice homemade pasta and meatballs tonight

Tomorrow is pasta and gravy night in my house.

Sounds like a good neighborhood.

Too funny, DWifey just told me she wanted meatloaf for dinner tonight...!!!

Someone was silly last night, thanks for the funny pictures!

They were from an article I couldn't share because of language. But they were funny, so I thought I would share. Glad you enjoyed them!

Oh no!! What did you trip over? (not thn expert at tripping over air, myself.)

There is a lip on the gym doorframe leading out into the hallway. Of course it had to happen as everyone was leaving the school carnival.

I actually doubt it...it's not a very "Dutch" thing to do. People here wouldn't worry about people taking pictures. They would be more likely to engage you in conversation about where you're from, etc. Most people here wouldn't be that pushy...a sign like that would be considered very rude. I suppose it's POSSIBLE that it's real, but I kind of doubt it.

Maybe the guy just thinks his cheese wedges are not photogenic

 

[Cesar R M]

It is indeed awesome! But, it's quite a long float, so ya' either need to cover up, or wear a lot of sunscreen, or both.
Definitely a relaxing, fun trip, though...!

Can you have a big umbrella in your "tire" ?

 

[Cesar R M]

Yep, we could all go to The Oasis on Lake Travis about 10 mins. from our house and enjoy them while watching a fabulous sunset...!

looks fantastic!.
Is that restaurant on top of a tower or a natural mountain/rock ?

We have similar restaurants here that are like that and face the sea.
For example, this popular one called LE CLIFF:

Please be careful and maybe think about seeing a doctor! Get well soon xoxo

I saw a podiatrist when I did this a while back. Basically, there's nothing they can do. When I sprain an ankle, I need to wear the brace until it feels better, which could take up to 10 weeks. After 10 weeks, if it's not better, I come in, she double checks it with an MRI, and if nothing new shows up, then more PT. Unfortunately, my ankles are exactly like my mother's and her father's: just bad and prone to spraining. And unlike my thumb, surgery can't really fix it, so I just have to live with it.

So for now, I wear the brace she gave me and wait for it to heal. Last time, I did this more badly to my other ankle, and I was off the brace in two weeks. I fully intend to be taking my walks again before long.

So...a cat ran onto the field during an Angels' game.

can you get some treatment as in using ultrasound and hot water massage?
when I hurt my leg muscles.. it helped recovery by a lot.
10 weeks is alot, I recovered in less than 4.

I had PT two years ago. It helped, but there is one weak spot that remains. Just gotta live with it.

@LuvtheGoof How's the food at SOG and do you know if they are good with people with allergies? Thank you so much

We only ate at the QS location, and it was good. Not sure how they handle allergies, but I can't see them just ignoring them. It is considered a Disney Deluxe level resort. We might try a few of the restaurants on a future trip.

Soooo we had snow last night.
