Is your Albertson's being bought out? The one near us isn't included, so I guess they'll be around for a while. I so love their weekend specials! They also have a decent produce department. Most of their other stuff is too darn expensive as compared to other supermarkets.

Hey, does this qualify as talking about food? Do you think San will get upset?:cool:

I dont know....havent seen a list of which stores.did you ask yours and thats how you know??All I have seen is this..but I would imagine not the one on SS and 25th since there is a Publix on 36th.too close...

LAKELAND, Fla., June 9, 2008  Today Publix Super Markets, Inc. announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase 49 Florida stores from Albertson’s LLC. The transaction is expected to close in September and includes store locations throughout the state with 15 locations in North Florida, 30 locations in Central Florida and four locations in South Florida.

The list of the ones closing in the Orlando area was in our newspaper and on WESH's website. Most of the ones closing are in the more affluent areas. You know ... The areas that will support a Fresh Market or Whole Foods. Those people don't want to go to no stinkin Albertson's. They'd have to mingle with the riff raff! NO COMMENTS ALLOWED, SAN!!!!:p

PH - I was told the Albertson's on SS was not part of the sale to Publix. The new restaurant is a burrito place...nicer than it sounds. I heard you can even get a lobster burrito.

K2 - I applaud anyone who can do 40 miles on a bike!

San - Sounds like Trouser's had a nice visit with his grandparents...Brandy love kitty chow.

Disney was hot, hot, hot and drippy hot. No rain, even though our friend said they've had severe storms all week. Tracy and I waited 40 minutes for Darth Vader...but it made her happy to have him autograph her hat and take a picture with him. Every 20 minutes or so, they would rotate the character out and 5 minutes later another would show up. Did a couple of roller coasters at the other parks (Did Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom and Disney Hollywood Studios). All the parks were crowded...

Invited to a birthday party for one of guys Gary works with...they are having a luau, so making a pineapple upside down cake to take with us. It's raining pretty good, so hope there's an alternative plan for weather problems.

[large]Really neat sky early this morning around 5:45 a.m. I just had to take a picture of it.
Suppose to rain starting 8 a.m. thru Noon. then be nice again. It's nice and cool outside right now with a breeze. Slept great last night with WINDOWS all OPEN.

Have a great day all!! [/large]

PH - I can't believe the Villages is getting a Fresh Market! They certainly do have everything there, don't they?

Hi K2!:wave What you up to today?

[large]Hey there BB: Nothing going on over here. I did my 4.2 miles of walking really early this morning and it seems like it should be 6:00 pm around here..........but it's only 3:00 pm!! Just dust mopped my wood floor in the kitchen. Amazing how you can see the dust when the blinds are open and it's SUNNY!! Having the windows and "Doorwall" open all day and night doesn't help the dust factor around here. But I love the fresh air as opposed to A/C being on.

Art decided to go to the park and bike around on the trails since it FINALLY stopped raining.

Let's see what else have we done today???????? Oh we went grocery & veggie shopping while it was raining. I gave Art about 5 coupons and told him to go find the items and bring them back. I hate when he just walks behind me when I'm busy trying to get in and out of the place as fast as I can. I think it makes him feel "Helpful" when I give him those kind of "Chanlenges". He managed to put pickles, cookies, somekind of juice and protein bars in the basket when I wasn't watching!! :cool: I do like the drop off curb service when he does come shopping with me though!! :girly

So what's going on with the rest of you today??

PQ: Sounds like it was WAY TOO HOT when you were at Disney. That place is hard to take when it's cool, yet alone really hot!! Glad you made it out alive. How did the cake turn out. You haven't made one of those in awhile!!

SAN: Are you behaving? How was your birthday dinner?? Did the kids do you good with presents?? Art was thrilled to get new biking gloves that matched his new bike from Jill and her gang. She got him a Red Wing Championship T-shirt and this really really cool Bird Book. It has a button you press and you get to hear the sound the bird makes and then it explains it on the written page. He loves his birds and bird books believe it or not!! I think it comes from his Dad's genes. His Dad would always be looking out the window at birds and then looking them up in books. Better BIRDS and BROADS!! :loveya

BB: You ever wake up from all those beers from the Grill?? Hee Hee. Good going kiddo.

Later............[/large]

Sounds like a rousing day for this group!:cool:

I've managed to take it easy all day while poor Bert is sweating his you-know-what off outside working. He came in a little while ago and I hollered at him. He was way too hot and very pale. I made him sit down with an iced cloth and a bottle of cold water. That lasted for about 10 minutes. MEN!!!!!
Gary is helping him move some 3 trunked palms from either side of the front door. We're treating them to dinner at the Grill or, if it rains, the place we went to the other night.

PH - Lucky you to go out for breakfast. I was hoping that with Bert up so early that we might go to Perkins. I love their potato pancakes and bacon. No such luck though!
Say hi to Dennis for us. Still looking forward to a day when we can get together again.

Gotta go ... They're calling me again!

K2 - Cake came out good...Gary kept trying to get into the cake and I kept telling him he had to wait...can't take a cake to a party with a missing piece. Maybe, I'll make one for him...I did buy 2 pineapples. The bird book sounds interesting and the sunrise picture is beautiful.

PH - We went to El Taxco for lunch...seems to be our Sunday go-to lunch place. Yesterday had to go to Home Depot to order a new over-the-range microwave...it seems that computer board went out on it. We're having family for the holiday, so really need the microwave. You don't realize how much you use one until it's gone.

Marcia - good to see you stopping by.

BB - hope Bert's okay after working all day outside. Gary worked outside early this afternoon...not this girl...anything after noon is too late for me in the summer.

Need to start dinner - steak and potatos tonight...something easy...see you later

Back from dinner at the Grill. Gary & Bert had paella (sp?) and Kris and I had a Cobb salad that is to die for. Got leftovers, so I don't have to make lunch for the next two days.:D

Once Bert stopped working outside, he was fine. It just got too hot for him around 3. Once he took a shower and cooled down, he was fine. He still has one more palm cluster to move, but that can wait for a couple of days.

Time for Ice Road Truckers. See ya tomorrow.
