No rain down this way, but I see where Marion County is under a severe t'storm watch out by where Laurie lives. Guess you'll get lucky and not have to water tonight.

Hi Rita! I have to agree with you about all the great places to eat in Aruba. Wish I could remember all the places we went while we were there. Sorry the heat's so bad too. Remind you of when we were there on the Jewel? That was way too hot that day too.

Hi,

Yeah, I'm waiting for Bill to get up, so I'm trying to be quiet. This connection is so slow, I've been waiting a long time for the page to load.

We went to Que Pasa for dinner last night.......thanks, BB, for the suggestion. Food was delicious, Bill had veal schnitzel and I had pasta with shrimp, scallops and fish.......was it ever good! Dessert was banana fritters, which we shared. Aruba Aribba is now called a WHAZZUP! One was enough...tastes like fruit punch until you try and stand. Then walked to the Crystal Casino and made our donation to the 3donomy oF Aruba.

Off to the beach this a.m., then who knows what for the afternoon, probably just hanging around the pool. We may walk over to the new Riu Hotel.....just opened recently. Looks kind of out of place around here, as it has turrets and looks like a Moorish castle.

Staying our of downtown today as the Adventure comes in, so they'll be hordes of people on the streets. It's really strange seeing downtown Oranjastaad with no one on the streets. We stayed here a couple of years ago, but mostly stayed at the resort and didn't venture downtown until dinner time, and most of our trips have been on cruise ships.....and you know how crowded downtown gets when a ship is in. Actually could browse in the shop windows last night. I think we'llhit the stores tomorrow for some nice bling!

Well, his Royal Highness is up, time to go to breakfast. Talk with you all later. Enjoy the day everyone.

Rita

Good morning! Sleeping in, PH? Not a chance. After a nice quiet weekend with our next door neighbor away, he's back to using his power tools - edger, blower, trimmer. He'll be at it for hours! My answer is he should get a life.:cool:

Glad you enjoyed dinner at Que Pasa, Rita, and that they still serve good food. I'd weigh 300+ pounds if I ever lived on Aruba with all all the great restaurants they have! I remember the Crystal Casino. We made a contribution there too!!!! I don't remember which casino it was that had a buffet attached to it which was quite good for the money. There I go talking about food again. Good thing San isn't here right now. HeeHee!!
They must have just recently changed the name of the Arriba Aruba. They were still calling it that at the place we had lunch when we were there in November. I agree with you though - It is a real kick-SSA drink.
Have fun today no matter what you and Bill decide to do. I'm sure you'll come up with something to keep yourselves amused!!!!!:lol

So what's on the agenda today, PH? We'll try one more time to go buy those TVs. I'm getting tired of riding back and forth for nothing. All that traffic is starting to get to me!!!!:)D:)D I just want to go and get it over with before the rains move in again.

We lead such interesting lives, don't we?:lol:lol Aside from our trip to BB, I think I'll go measure the grass to see how much it grew overnight. :cool: Then there's a spider web on the hibiscus tree that needs to be knocked down. (td) Think I'll finish the day off by seeing how many tries it takes to get a cork from a wine bottle to stand on end!::eek: Wow! This is going to be one busy busy day, if I get this all accomplished. Keeping this busy, I might not have time to get back here again today!!!!!;)

I forgot all about the cork trick..........maybe I'll play later too..........

I want a new wine bottle opener,...one with power cuz Im getting weak in my old age.......................

Glad I'm not the only one who has trouble opening wine bottles. No matter what type opener we've tried, I still have trouble. I remember one that used a CO2 cartridge that worked well, but I haven't seen one for quite a while.

Balancing the cork on end is a great form of exercise and is good for eye hand coordination. What more could you ask for?

We saw that CO2 cartridge one at Brookstone at the FL mall..........But we saw a similar thing using batteries(rechargeable) at Bed,Bath and Beyond........

Hey, I like that first one. Might have to get me one of them. Might have to get one for Joanne too. Says it'll open 30 bottles of wine on a single charge. Heck, for her that would be good for 2 days!!!!::eek::lol::eek: Wish I had seen your post before we went out, BB is right across the street from BB&B ... darn!!!!

Bought the 2 TVs and they'll be delivered on Thursday. Bert said that for what the TVs cost, we could have done a 10 days cruise! Oh well ...

congrats on the new tvs.........mcuh better choice than a cruise........hahahah.............NOT! Must be nice big fancy ones to cost that much...


check EBay for those wine openers.........can get them for about $25 (inc s/h) pretty neat,huh?

Been out by the pool,but now the afternoon storms are coming..................Dennis now wont be home till ????????? Had a pickup in Miami and is still waiting to be loaded............

I checked ebay for the wine openers. By the time you add in the shipping, it costs the same as what you pay at BB&B. Can't believe a couple of sellers are offering them at under $5. for a buy it now, but want over $20 for postage. Those are the ones who are ruining it for everyone on ebay. They want to see it cheap, so they don't have to pay the fees.

Made peppers, onions & sausage sandwiches on the grill tonight. Tasted just like you get at a carnival ... YUMMY!!!! Now I'm stuffed.
