I thought I would pop in and check out todays post and see what's happening in MMC land...
Wow, what a great day today, we hit Universal Studios at 10:00 am and didn't get back here until after 11 pm, now that's what I would call a long day at the park! The sun was baking all day, I held up pretty good until about 4pm and the heat was starting to get to me (a pumping 91 degrees and 89% humidity) and my knee was starting to swell up and was killing me. So while everyone else got in line for the roller coaster (The Hulk), I had brought along with me a zip lock plastic bag, got one of the vendors to fill it with ice and I sat down in a cool shady spot with the ice on my knee for about 45 minutes, took an aleeve, drank a bottle of H2o; and that did the trick!
He hit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (based upon Hogsmeade) and then we went over to the other side of the park and took some pictures of the construction of the other Harry Potter site that they are building (based upon Diagon Alley) which I thought was pretty cool. The Transformer ride (by chance) was open and up and running, now, I cannot do the rides (I get sick) but I got a chance while waiting outside to get pictures of Bumble Bee, Optimus Prime and also Megatron walking around outside; awesome.....
I couldn't wait to get back to the condo and crank the ac and take a shower... I'm beat and so we may just sleep in a bit and sort of plan to take it easy tomorrow, maybe lounge around the pool... I'm heading for the pillows folks so have a good night and I check back here tomorrow...
Good Night~

Another nice day! Gloria got a new iPad recently and we get to set it up for her and show her how to use it tomorrow. That's exciting for us, because we'll be able to send her emails and photos when we get back home! She's very excited about that. Our time here is flying so fast! Can't believe tomorrow is Saturday already.

I spoke too soon. We discovered that the air conditioning unit in our room has been leaking water all day while we were gone. Mr's suitcase soaked through, and they had to move us to another room so they could drain the A/C and run a blower to dry the carpet. Luckily, my suitcase was on the other side of the room, and we pack everything in plastic bags, so our belongings are okay, but he'll have to buy a new suitcase tomorrow for fear of mildew. Only the second time he'd used it, too. We're supposed to talk to the manager tomorrow; hope they will reimburse us or give us some credit on the ruined suitcase. What an evening. Well, at least it wasn't a fire or flood.

********** MILESTONE DAY **********
Goodness Gracious, Good Morning, Good Morning, dear Friends!
Wowzerinos!
Lookie! Lookie!
Milestone #9 is here, right on schedule.
IT -- IS -- OPEN.
(The 200-day Christmas Day Window, that is!)
What a way to kick off the Weekend!!
The count:
Days to the Season: 158
Days to Christmas Day: 200
My, oh My.
The rain we had yesterday from Tropical Storm Andrea!
I read 4.5" on our rain guage and the airport recorded 5", the most ever for a single day.
Water was nearly into Crabtree Mall on the lower level and a number of city streets were flooded.
Several people had to be rescued from their cars in high water.
But it's all behind us now and better weather is in store for most of the weekend.
We are at 68 degrees here right now.
Have a Sensational Saturday and a Boffo Belmont, Friends!
Enjoy your Weekend Part I.

Good morning!
Happy Milestone Day!!!
It is going to be partly sunny today with a high of 75 degrees.
I just got back from my morning walk and am having a much needed cup of coffee. I had an appointment early this morning to have my blood drawn. I'm going for a physical in about a week and I wanted the blood work results back by then. Anyway, not too much going on today. I need to get started on some chores and go food shopping. Both of my daughters boyfriends are home from college and I can already see the difference in the amount of food that we are going through, lol. And they have both decided to stay home and continue at local colleges. I guess I better get use to two extra mouths to feed!
I also plan on visiting my parents tonight.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a sunny day here with a high of 77. I think I'm going to head out to my sister's house for awhile to see how their vacation went and then it will be home to just relax the rest of the weekend. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!
Hello and happy milestone day! I've been away from MMC for a couple of days and have not liked it! That being said, it has been a fun week but I am worn out!
I hope everyone who traveled or is traveling had a good trip!
MerryCarey-I'm sorry to hear about Mr.'s luggage!
Hope everyone has a great Saturday. I see grilling in my future today. I bought a new gas grill last week and have only used it once, so I'm itching to get out there.

I hope they at least reimburse for the suitcase and for the hassle of everything involved. I hope this was just a fluke and you continue to have a wonderful vacation. I was watching Dog the Bounty hunter this morning and its filmed in Hi. and it made me think of you.!
Ahhh, nice to be outdoors again after the deluge yesterday! SO MUCH RAIN! It's breezy and overcast right now, I love it! Just walked to the farmer's market, bought some tomato plants, and then I drank my tea and read a magazine out front... so nice. I wish all summer could be so cool! I hope everyone has a great milestone day!
