There goes my childhood, sigh

OMG that's so hard to believe.  It was a large part of my childhood also AND my daughter's.

To me it can only be Ronzoni. 

 

Ronzoni sono buoni.  Ronzoni is so good.  I did not google!  It's like to Bosco jingle.  Imbedded in my mind forever.

Headed south tomorrow, then Jewel for NYE cruise. Then back to Atlanta

Thanks for responding.  I sort of forgot you were in Atlanta.  My memory lapses often worries me.

 

Enjoy your Jewel cruise!

 

How is Amanda doing?

We were at Universal Studios Hollywood last night. First time visiting the Harry Potter setup so that's most of the pictures I'll be uploading:

 

Secret Life of Pets ride for those people that saw the movie:

 

 

Waterworld stunt show from the same movie name from eons ago:

 

 

Their Holiday theme is the Grinch that stole Christmas as you can see from the unconventional

 

 

 

Hogworts area:

 

 

 

 

 

Night time laser show that's better in 2 videos as it has music:

That is awesome @harryfat1! Thanks so much for sharing them. We probably won't get there any time soon. I will have to find that Universal Studios photo that my parents took last time I was there. It is me posing with "The Creature from the Black Lagoon". Which indicates how long ago it was. I think there is also a photo of Festus from "Gunsmoke". ☺️😃

@Luckynana & @sgmn hope you lovely ladies both feel well enough to enjoy the festivities with your families 

Thank you Aussielozzie and everyone else for your good wishes, it is only a cold, but the worst one i've had in years.  I tried to ignore it until Boxing Day but did have a quite day yesterday cuddling my hot water bottle on the settee.  My worst fear was passing it onto one of the children as one is very young, 3 months, and the other seems to suffer from respiratory illnesses, two visits to hospital in two months, so felt I couldn't cuddle as much as I wanted too. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas 🎄 

And enjoy this peaceful time before the New Year

Sorry to hear you have been so sick Sue. If you have plans for NYE I do hope you feel better by then.

Any one watch the Knives Out sequel? - Knives Out Glass Onion.  Thoroughly enjoyed the original film but I thought the sequel was slow to get going, then it was watchable but then forgettable. Whereas the original I would happily watch again.

Hi Sue,  sorry to hear you are unwell.  Hope you feel better soon and the babies remain OK.  

We watched the last episode of The White Lotus.   Wow!!  Definitely was not an ending I was expecting.  Nice twist in the plot.   

Of course, I was not surprised the young girl took the young man's money.   Young and naive got the better of him.

I know this might sound like I’m patting myself on the back but that’s not my intent. I think going forward, for me “Christmas Different” will be trying to find a way to either help those in need or finding a way to thank those to give back that those that are helping us. I just need to find a better venue to channel that energy  than an Applebee’s bar. 😉

 

Actually, I think you were in the perfect venue.  You had a positive impact on three different people who you wouldn't have met otherwise, and who wouldn't normally be included in the typical "holiday donation" situation (homeless, low-income, etc.). 

 

I have come to believe that people come into our lives for a reason -- the location doesn't matter, but the feelings/intentions do.

So here is something I haven’t done for a while.   My sunrise photo of the day. 

 

Well, maybe two things.  My daughter was up early, so the two of us took a long walk, and caught the sunrise. 
 

Last night, we packed all 9 of us in our Highlander and went to Bahama Breeze for supper.  I know, it is a chain, but it is good to find things for the grandkids. 
 

Anytime you can get a drink in a pineapple, it is a good time. 
 

 

My supper was a jerk chicken pineapple bowl.  This was really good, and something I would order again. 
 

 

Beach day today.

Without getting too wordy on my part. 
 

THANK YOU for sharing!  
 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

My Wife and I watched it, We actually thought it was much better then the first one.

 

I think the thing is you have to follow along and really understand what is going on in the beginning of the movie. If you don't then I could see where you might think the movie is slow starting.

 

Thought it was a fun movie to figure out. Enjoyed it.

Some might call those pictures depressing if you live in Buffalo I would guess.

The Buffalo airport has been closed since Friday but is scheduled to open in a couple of hours at least our friends are not flying on southwest 😁😁

Yes, Buffalo was hit hard and Southwest cancelled 62% of flights around the country today.

So sorry Sue I hope you are starting to feel better. A lot of stuff going around. One of my dear friends who I worked with for over 40 years and who was to come to my family Christmas party like he has for the past 25 years was sick and could not come. I found out today he is still very sick with RSV. He's not good about going to the doctor and I keep reminding him he is not as young as he once was. Get well soon!!!
