i need a bazillion dollars. There's 17.5 acers of lake front for sale in Bay Hill. If @donaldtoo angles the house properly we'd be able to see Disney fireworks from the balcony and be able to walk to Universal, Whole Foods and also restaurant road.

I assure you, Figgy, I will design and orient it all for optimum fireworks viewing to the point that complete strangers/guests will be paying you an “upcharge” just to view them from your humble abode...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

That looks delicious!

It was, indeed...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Maybe @donaldtoo dwifey’s family can hit up some of their next of royal kin from the UK for it?

Hahaaa...!!!!!
Pretty sure that is even long goner than with the wind, by now...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

All clear now, and still all very cool!

Indeed!!!
Oldest DD and my pop have managed to, so far, track pops side of the family back to about 1780. Majority Czech, and some German, as we’ve always known, but, now also some Russian...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Couldn't understand a word she said!

I, on the other hand, understood every single “word” of it...she couldn’t have praised her ol’ pappy more...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Adorable!!! She is really trying to have a conversation!! So cute!

I’m a little rusty on my “babese” , but, it indeed sure sounds like it...!!!

For the life of me.....I can't get over the price of the new Disney tour.....(I just found out about it).

wait.. which tour?

 

[donaldtoo]

Oh my gosh!!! When I think she can’t get cuter, you go and throw this video on here. Absolutely the cutest baby currently in existence. I can say that because my kids are no longer babies.

Hahaaa...!!!!!
Thank you so very much!!!
Her adorable little personality and beautiful little spirit continue to amaze and delight us all...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, I’m gone with the breaking wind...!
Y’all all be cool, and sweet dreamin’/mornin’ to one and all...!!!

We got really nothing left of the snow, but at 10 tomorrow morning it’s supposed to be -12. That’s bad, but nowhere near what they’re seeing up north....

I can't even sympathy like that! YIKES!

So hubs and I did end up going out to eat tonight. It was a fund raiser for a local campus Lutheran Youth group. There were a couple of people there when we arrived and by the time we left there was only 1 table open. Despite the horrid weather people still came out, which is good. It didn't feel that cold unless I was walking into the wind, at one point it literally took my breath away. For a couple of seconds I couldn't get a breath. At that time it was -12 felt like -33.

And I don't want to make you all jealous but it is currently-20 with a real feel temperature of -45. Brrr. Many businesses are going to be closed tomorrow. Even the post office isn't delivering mail, I saw a notice that no delivery would be happening in Minnesota, Western Wisconsin, and even parts of Illinois. Crazy! I don't think I'll be stepping outside tomorrow.

Sray inside with a nice stack of movies and rum, lots of rum

The good news... my work is closed tomorrow. The bad news... I'm still expected to work at home... BOO!

There is probably a good 8-10 more inches in the drive tonight.... and it's too cold to go out to shovel. I may try to find a one off plow to throw some cash at.

No words or at least no words I can use here. Stay safe my friend

Well, the meteorologists are about as successful in predicting the weather as the groundhog is.
