Return of the Cruising Bunny's....

Pound and a half lobsters are $7 something a pound at some of our local supermarkets, a much better deal what they want to charge you folks, BB, but we have a geographic advantage and they don't have to pay airfreight charges to get then to our markets. Prices are still considerably higher than they were only a few years back.
You are right about the limited offerings on nighttime tv, especially on the weekends now. Last night I actually found a station showing Smokey and the Bandit I and II. Was amazed at how young Bert Reynolds and Sally Field looked.
Your mention of "Skinny Dip" reminded me of how much I miss Carl Hiaasen's books. I sort of got suckered into getting James Patterson's latest book. Since Alex Cross' name was in the title, I thought that it would be one of the books that he actually writes, but when I opened it and began to read it, I found that Alex is only a minor figure in the story and that his partner, John Sampson, is the narrator and major protagonist. Had I looked closer at the cover I would have realized that there was a co-author who apparently does most, if not all, of the writing. It was okay but wouldn't make my list of best reads of the decade.

The rain Gods have stopped for now here in our area.
Art has been busy cleaning up the mess outside on the side of the house and around
his flower garden that was TOTALLY under water and the veggie garden. Hope the Potatoes enjoy their drink! Ha ha.
I got a bite of either a Mosquito or Spider when I went down to the edge of the creek to see how things were down there. It doesn't itch, but WOW was it huge. When I get on my iPhone I'll post a picture. I measured 2 inches wide. It's as hard as a rock. Just glad it's not itchy. And yes, I put Cortisone on it!
Bill: If we could buy Lobster for $7.00 a pound we'd have it at least once a week. You're looking at $20 plus a pound for a lobster tail. Not sure what a whole lobster would run per pound. Glad you had a good time at the HOA get-together. Sounds like you found a really good subdivision to move into. Especially since it was site-unseen for Rita at the time. That was some event for you two back then.
My beans are in the crock pot baking away. Smells nice in the basement. They are still way too "soupy". I took the top off of the crock pot to see it some of the juices will cook off. If not, I'll be bringing plastic bowls and soups to the party!
I must say MY BEAN concoction looks better than these plain beans!

FINALLY getting a chance to post. Missy & I were off bright and early to go to the cardiologist's office for the ECHO cardiogram. Gal couldn't give me the results, but did say that it looked good. Now I have to wait until next Monday when Missy can once again be my Uber driver.
We had an awesome time yesterday! G&E made a last minute decision to join us as did friends from our community. M&J had invited some of their friends too. Man, did we ever have food! Here's a picture of the bowl with crabs before they went in the cooker. There's 15 lbs of crab there!!
We put the can of soda and glass of wine just to give you an idea of how much was there. Then on top of all that, at the last minute Jimmy asked me to make and fix sauce for 10 lbs of mussels. At least we do still have some mussels left for tomorrow night's dinner with the gang.
Nancy - By the time everyone went home, the race was over, but I did see a few clips on the news last night.
Kathie - That was some flooding you had yesterday! We are so going to need a rain like that when they have the dam fixed for our lake. Otherwise, it might take a year to fill our lake, if we miss the rainy season.
Dave - You nailed it ... I am not supposed to have any salt. I cheat once in a while, but chips and such are a complete no-no. That how come I ended up in the hospital from eating too many Scoops on Super Bowl Sunday. The veggie tray was a big hit and was almost completely consumed.
Lee - You get those knobs on yet for Lisa? Are she and Shiraz still staying with you or is she into her own house now?
Bill - Rita told me about how much lobster is by you when I was talking with her earlier. You are so lucky. Only thing we're getting a good deal on is snow crab. Bought 10 lbs of large clusters for $97.! Best price we've had in ages.
I think we created a monster with going on this cruise. M&J are coming with their kids and G&E decided to come also with her youngest son. It will be sort of like a 4 night family reunion!
Decided that being we won't have the gang here for dinner tonight, I'm going to make an eye round that I just defrosted. Aside from a yummy roast beef dinner, we will have lots left over for sandwiches. It'll be time to break out my handy dandy electric slicer.
Time now to catch the early news while all is quiet here. Bert is off taking a short power nap before it's time to start dinner.
Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone!

This is the “BITE” I got early this morning. Jill made me put the marks around it to see if it spreads. It didn’t. Just hard as a rock. Must be the poison.
It’s going to be 90 degrees & Sunny tomorrow .
I made a double batch of Biscotti and took some over to the neighbor who helped us with the water situation yesterday! This batch was Pecans, dry sour cherries, orange peel and juice and brandy. Yum. They taste good.

Good evening. Most of the swelling is gone from my hand. AM trying to figure out what I can put on my wrist so I can wear the brace all night as it hurts right about where the swelling started.
Pat those crab legs look so good. Sounds like you had a good house full.
Bill I would love to get lobster for the price you can.
K2 that looks like a spider bite to me. Putting the sots around is a good idea.
Well we are booked for a cruise this year. We are going on NCL Pride of America around the Hawaiian islands. We are flying to Honolulu on Sept 27 so we have 3 nights in Honolulu with two full days to do some sightseeing. I found a site that combined flights and hotel and for the two of us flying both ways and the hotel is $1800. The cruise is from Sept 30 to Oct 7 and of course that is the most expensive part. I did book us an ocean view because the size is better than an inside.
All have a good night.

Oh good, lots of interesting pictures.
Yikes! That's one nasty looking bite you got, K2. Definitely keep an eye on that thing. For some reason, I now have a taste for beans. So what do you put in that makes your bean "concoction" so good?
You sure started something when you booked your cruise, BB. Next thing I know, your lawn guy will want to be joining you on your cruise. Happy that your cardiologist's tech let you know that your test results look good. Usually those techs won't tell you anything.
Happy 4th of July everyone! A day of cookouts, fireworks, and of course the Nathan's hot dog eating contest. (It's on some ESPN channel at noon.)
As usual I'll be rooting for Joey Chestnut. He's won that contest about a dozen times. His record is eating 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes. BURP!
It says he does a "cleanse" a couple of days before each contest, then only drinks water until the contest is over. After the contest is over, he always breaks out in a drenching sweat that people close to him says smells like hot dogs. Then he goes and takes a nap.
Hard to believe, but he says he still likes hot dogs. (With mustard and onions.)
I still grin when I hear that Nathan's hot dog eating contest is held at CONEY Island.

Things should be back to normal around here today. Lots of reading and pictures to catch up on.
In the meanwhile, Lu-Ann and I would like to wish you all a very happy Independence Day.
Be sure to count your fingers before and after handling any fireworks.

Good morning.
Well today the fun starts in finding a car to rent in Honolulu. Looking to see if we want to rent a car at the different ports. Since yesterday the cruise, flights and hotel are paid for. We had hoped many years ago to go on this cruise because Michael was working on the ship, but he decided to not go back for a 4th contract in stead go to culinary school and we had been looking at booking under the friends and family. Oh well we are finally doing it.
I will be grilling ribs for dinner tonight and making a salad to go with.
All have a great day.

Happy 4th All!
Lee: I take it your visitors Lisa and Shiraz are gone. Did Lisa stay with you too? Time to grab a picnic basket full of sandwiches and wine, etc and either head over to the "pool house" or to Navy Park to enjoy the day. The odd jobs you haven't gotten to in the past few days can wait.
That about explains the HEAT the Florida Belles will be experiencing today and most likely the rest of the week.
You gals and guys are in the HIGH 95's. Stay cool and if you have a pool jump into it.
We'll be at 85F today. That's plenty hot for this gal.
Got my things packed that we're taking with us and in a few hours we'll be on our way.
My brother and Sister-in-law and Art and I will be driving over to Chicago this coming Sunday to visit our brother and SIL. It's been way too long and now that his wife is living with her daughter and she can't drive he's very depressed and lonely without her visits. He sounded horrible on the phone yesterday. It has to wear on you after all these years not being able to do for yourself like you want. He now has no motivation to try harder. SAD.
Wish we lived closer I'd be over there big time pushing him.
Okay I hope all is well with our Karen. (I don't want to bug her.)
And Cats too. Feel bad if it gets too loud for them.

Good morning and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!
This is going to be a first for us - no BBQ and no company until M&J come tonight for leftovers from Sunday. Bert's going to be heading to BJ's with Jimmy to pick up a few things that Bert can't pick up yet. Things like cat litter and a case of Coke. Other than that, nothing is going on here.
From our house, you'd never know it's the 4th. We still have not heard a single bit of fireworks being shot off! Either they're saving everything for tonight or people are really cutting back this year.
We had our highest temperature of this year yesterday - 97! Today should be just as high, but with a chance of rain through the day. Oh well ...
Kathie - That's some bite you got. When Missy came to pick me up yesterday, she had just been bitten on her wrist by a hornet. The spot was all swollen and was very hot. By the time we were on our way home, the swelling had pretty much gone down, but she still was going to put ice on it when she got home.
Enjoy your day at the lake. Your beans looked delicious.
Nancy - Nice cruise you booked. have you ever been to Hawaii before? It's so beautiful. We visited there on a land tour instead of a cruise and got to spend 3 or 4 days on different islands.
Dave - You cracked me up saying next our landscaper would want to be going on the cruise with us. When I went looking for a cruise, I had no idea any of the rest of the family would want to join us. It will be a lot of fun with them though.
Enjoy watching the Nathan's hot dog eating contest. I like an occasional hot dog, but couldn't get down more than 2 in 15 minutes, so I know I'd lose. I did once win a watermelon eating contest as a kid!!
Lee - Are you enjoying a nice quiet house for a change? I know I am after all the activity over the weekend.
Just found out that M&J might not be coming here for the leftover mussels tonight, as they are supposed to go to his friend's house for a BBQ. That's ok. Now we can go with Plan B -
The roast beef I never made yesterday.
Time for a cup of coffee. Today was also the day I had to take a water pill, so I'll be spending the day running to the bathroom. How exciting is that?
Have a wonderful day, everyone, no matter how you're spending your 4th. Make it a good one!

Happy Independence Day, everyone. Nothing special planned so Rita and I both slept in a bit later than usual. Did a lot of walking yesterday so it is probably pahrt of the reason.
Rain and thunderstorms are in this afternoon's forecast but hoping that they clear out before tonight's Boston Pops concert and fireworks extravaganza on the Esplanade. It has been a number of years since we attended it in person, so we will be watching it on TV again this year. They did tape last night's dress rehearsal so that if the rains linger and disrupt the program, they can use the tape for the TV broadcast.
That looks like a painful bite, K2. Glad you are watching it to make sure it doesn't turn out to become worse.
Enjoy your Hawaiian cruise, Nancy. It was a number of years ago when we flew to Hawaii and cruised the islands and then crossed the Pacific and ended up in Vancouver. I enjoyed
that manner of cruising the Pacific and the much shorter flight home than the flights over from home to Honolulu. Lots of great memories of that cruise including the fact that the celebrities onboard were Frankie Avalon and his family, and JoAnn Worley of Laugh-In fame.

Good evening.
I spent most of this morning looking at and booking excursions. Of course the most expensive is the Luau. But even though I booked 4 excursions we got discounts totaling $294, so that is very nice. That is more than the cost for one of us for the Luau.
I have also booked a car for us to use in Honolulu and shuttle to get from airport (after turning in the car) and then back to the airport after the cruise. And also booked a manual wheelchair to be delivered to the ship.
Since Michael had worked on the ship I sent him a message on Facebook asking what port(s) are tender. Well he replied by sending me the list of the ports, so I had to ask him which ports you have to take a boat to get to shore. Bruce and I had a laugh. On Michael's first contract, he was a cook and the main cook in the Cadillac Diner. One night he had to go to the medical office as he was burnt by oil that he was moving from one pot to another. So the nurse on duty called the bridge and yelled at them to watch where they were going, she thought they had caused him to get burnt.
Other than booking which specialty restaurant we want to eat in I think I am done. We received a one night specialty restaurant voucher with the cruise.
About 45 minutes ago we started to hear fireworks. And it seems they may be done. The past two nights I only heard some for about 5 minutes each night.
All have a good night.

Karen.......so nice to know ALL IS GOOD!
Lordy the "Fireworks are crazy right now". I was outside on the deck looking at some of them, but the noise was just too much! I guess a few people found some EXTRA MONEY to spend on the BIG BOOMERS that go way up up up!!
Night all.
Got a strange message from our niece on Art's side of the family. She and her hubby didn't make it to the lake today. She said she has something to tell the family. Okay.... and left it at that. Said she had to go lay down. She's the Vet of the family. Hope another dog didn't bite her again. Or that the previous bite isn't still infected. Lordy I hate messages that are not complete. I'll be calling her tomorrow. ALWAYS SOMETHING!

Be still my beating heart......Our adorable and sweet KC is fine and hasn't run off with the church's funds. SOO nice hearing from you!!!
Thanks to the holiday I once again am asking myself, "What day of the week is it?". Good thing my watch shows the day along with the date.
Hope you all had a good 4th of July.
In this area there are a group of 700 gas stations called "Sheetz". (No sheet.) Anyway, in honor of Independence Day they sold gas at $1.776 a gallon. Needless to say, they were quite busy.
Yesterday was also the birthday of one of our grandkids. The ONE grandkid who's birthday I remember.
Oh yea, Joey Chestnut won again at Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. 64 this year. A bit less than his record of 76. But a win is a win.
Be good Bunnies.......As hard as it might be.

I just BURP'd after reading that Joey Chestnut ate "62" Nathan Hot Dogs this year! Crazy comes to mind too. 
It's going to be a MUGGY, HUMID, VERY HOT DAY here! Like in the 90's. Might be a good day to stay INSIDE and clean this house with A/C on HIGH!
You all take care.

Good morning!
Are you all sure yesterday was the 4th of July? You wouldn't know it here. There were no BBQs going on around any of the houses on the lake and there were so few fireworks, it was terrible. Good thing we could watch the Macy's fireworks display or you wouldn't have known it was a holiday. Might be a little bit more fireworks tonight by those who went elsewhere to watch REAL fireworks displays and got home too late to set anything off last night.
Made our roast beef d inner last night being M&J had changed the plans and went to Jimmy's friend's house for the day and to watch the St Cloud fireworks from his house. Dinner was delicious and we enjoyed a nice bottle of Cabernet to wash it all down. Now today I'll get out the meat slicer and slice what's left for sandwiches. That will be my favorite part of roast beef.
Nancy - You sure didn't waste any time getting everything done for your cruise. We never made it to the Lahaina luau, but found a different venue put on by the same people. We had 5 different courses of food from 5 different islands while being entertained by dancers from those islands. It was great and we didn't feel like we had missed anything not being at the Lahaina luau.
Karen - So great to see you check in. You know how we all worry when we don't hear from one of the bunnies for a while.
Dave - I saw on the news about Joey Chestnut winning again. Even if he didn't break his own record, that was still a heck of a lot of hot dogs! Nice that one of the grandkids has a holiday birthday. We had 2 groundhog grandkids - Justin & Emily, so it is always easy to remember their day. I always wish Justin a happy birthday in heaven. Definitely gone but not forgotten!
Kathie - You really must be getting old, when you think fireworks are too loud and you have to go in the house! LOL How was your day at th e lake? Did you get to go in the water? How long a drive is it to get to the lake from your house?
Bill - I so miss not being able to watch the Boston Pops concert. Last time I saw it was in Ocala when we had the BIG satellite dish and could pick up so many more stations. The Orlando orchestra last night at their fireworks display played a very poor imitation of the 1812 Overture. Didn't come anywhere close to the Boston Pop's version. Did the weather clear up for the fireworks last night?
Not much going on around here today until the gang gets here tonight, unless they once again change their minds. Guess it's time to see about finding something for lunch. Enjoy the rest of your hump day, everyone!
Are you all sure yesterday was the 4th of July? You wouldn't know it here. There were no BBQs going on around any of the houses on the lake and there were so few fireworks, it was terrible. Good thing we could watch the Macy's fireworks display or you wouldn't have known it was a holiday. Might be a little bit more fireworks tonight by those who went elsewhere to watch REAL fireworks displays and got home too late to set anything off last night.
Made our roast beef d inner last night being M&J had changed the plans and went to Jimmy's friend's house for the day and to watch the St Cloud fireworks from his house. Dinner was delicious and we enjoyed a nice bottle of Cabernet to wash it all down. Now today I'll get out the meat slicer and slice what's left for sandwiches. That will be my favorite part of roast beef.
Nancy - You sure didn't waste any time getting everything done for your cruise. We never made it to the Lahaina luau, but found a different venue put on by the same people. We had 5 different courses of food from 5 different islands while being entertained by dancers from those islands. It was great and we didn't feel like we had missed anything not being at the Lahaina luau.
