Maybe don't tell her this joke...

What am I doing on MY day? You ask?

Waiting patiently on SWhoMBO…to get her mess ready so we can go eat. Now in all fairness she called around looking for reservations for a place that has soft shell crabs…well…this ain’t Maryland, so no dice. So now, she’s posting pics from the wedding, time is ticking away…everything closes at 9pm…EDT…

Now I’m watching as Ms OCD is running around the back yard putting away things that couldn’t wait till tomorrow

Time is ticking away…

So, what you're saying is that in 31 years you haven't learned to make a dinner reservation and tell SWhoMBO that the reservation is 90 minutes earlier than reality?

Night, @Missk_2022
Sleep well and continue to recover from vacation and now being back at work

I was monitoring local web cams, and some of the views were completely blocked out! It was like a thick morning fog all day long.

I was blissfully unaware of this until I read your post. Fingers crossed that this resolves itself quickly for you and others affected by it!

I feel like a harbinger... but blame the BBC, not me... 'kay?
Really hope it blows through and doesn't linger!!

This was the smoke from the fires in 2023. I never experienced smoke like this. It was a perfectly cloudless day, it was just orange and eerie.

That looks real bad, were there embers falling from the sky?

@Wonderer67 feel free to chime in here...
He's East Coast and I'm Midwest, but I don't recall talk of embers in 2023 or with the current fires.

Here's what the web has to say:

I remember embers from the us western fires falling in Minneapolis in the 1990s, but not any since. That was really weird.

I was curious as I have had them fall where I was living a couple of times, very scary, eucalyptus fires here travel fast, the fires we have these days are so much worse, the heat they are burning at is making their own weather system…firestorms

I could had eucalyptus smoke, last year’s pine and peat from Quebec was bad enough

Yum

It was good! I added a glaze on the top instead of just a dusting of powdered sugar. Why dust with a half cup when I can combine 2-ish cups with some vanilla ice cream and make a glaze? I didn't have any milk or cream in the house and forgot to get some, hence, the need for vanilla ice cream!

Good morning 3 am club. Old dog and some sinuses got me up. I am trying out the recliner to get a little more sleep before doing grandpa’s taxi run this morning. I don’t need sleep deprivation.

Catch you all later.

Did the recliner help?

So that's what happens with juggled balls!

 

[Lilianna23]

Wow! That looks amazing!

Thanks! It was so easy to make. My trainer liked it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Morning all. I am definitely feeling better. I think I turned the corner over the weekend once I started taking the antibiotic.

I slept like a baby and fell asleep at nine, but woke up at 4:15.

I'm so glad you're feeling better!

Well the weekend wedding was awesome! The bride is the baby cousin of my wife’s family. The last of the girls to get married. She was a flower girl in our wedding as a kid some 30+ yrs ago! She was beautiful, the groom handsome (ex-military so he and I had that secret handshake going), got to meet lots of his side, and see and catch up with the wife’s side. A couple I hadn’t seen since our wedding.

The venue was one of those barn style places, but the actual ceremony was in a bamboo garden! They had probably planted an acre or two with towering bamboo, made little trails and nooks with tea lights everywhere. Pretty magical. Had a bamboo bridge over a creek even. After the ceremony in the bamboo, then we moseyed over to the barn and drinks, dinner, and dancing ensued.

SWhoMBO’s family can let their hair down when they want and when the dance floor opened, we never stopped! Haven’t danced so much in I can’t remember when…in fact it’s been quite a while since I’ve even been to a wedding. Big family events…can’t beat ‘em!

Breezed over the last few days trying to catch up…hope everyone had a great weekend…Yellowstone Park MZ…

I'm glad you had fun, H! Were you appropriately attired? SWMBO approved?

 

[Lilianna23]

Someone explain to me how it is only Tuesday? It feels like this week has been forever already and should be Thursday. Maybe even Friday.

I may not make it to the end of the week...

I felt like that yesterday. Despite my culinary offerings, my trainer whipped my butt anyway. Maybe even harder since she might have suspected (correctly) that I maybe sampled the pancake cake! I was worn out yesterday!

That might just be the funniest shit I ever read!

Oh my goodness .. Lucky trainer that is amazing @Lilianna23

Thanks, G! It's really easy to make. One could use almost any kind of fruit in it, also. I'm going to make it the next time my kids are here. My babies will love it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Thank goodness they did I can be prepared?

Maybe. About as much as anyone could be prepared for the K+ & Lili show!
