The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

He's East Coast and I'm Midwest, but I don't recall talk of embers in 2023 or with the current fires.
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
 
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! 🍦😅

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? 😄💕
 
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! 🥵🥵
 
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…

That might just be the funniest shit I ever read!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
Overslept a little this morning. That started the mood for the day.

Smoke from the Canadian fires swept through here, with air quality 3x worse than the "do not go outside" level. It's starting to clear some visually, but still 2x the don't go out levels.

Hope this clears soon. Everyone's eyes and sinuses are burning, even with HEPA filters running.

Hope you had a good day today!
That is miserable! A few years ago, we had fires on the "wet" side of the state. I couldn't take the dogs out without wearing my husband's paint respirator and some swim goggles. It wasn't a pretty sight but being able to breathe was worth it. Fortunately, we have a heat pump for air conditioning and were able to close up the house.
 
Funny confession story...
While partying with friends, I popped off a 1,500 foot "emergency at sea" parachute flare in the Ozark Mountains.... it lit the woods on fire, unbeknownst to everyone else....

I came back, after putting the fire out and said
"It's OOOOKAY, we're OOOOKAY!"...

That has become a figure of speech within my circle of friends.... they never knew, until my return and announcement, that anything had taken place... 🤣

There's even something funnier, but I ain't gonna post that here!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
Maybe. About as much as anyone could be prepared for the K+ & Lili show! 🤣🤣🤣
What people don't realise is that Lili and Missk are an explosive combination. We established that Missk is an abbreviated version of Miss Potassium. What is less known is that Lili is a contraction of Water Lili. And when you mix potassium and water...;)

You're correct, in that THEY'RE BOTH extremely powerful.... helluvit is, they're EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!
 
I think the rain we got today helped keep our numbers low.
Tomorrow is looking to be a Challenge Day

Taxi Service in the morning with a stop at the mechanic's in between drop off/pick up to put new tires on the car. I've had oil changes before where I've had to sit outside just to breathe with all the petrochemicals in use at the auto shop. :rolleyes:
Looks like I need to dig out one of my cloth masks with a pocket so I can load it up with disposable filters.
I hope your day wasn't too challenging, Likes! 💞
