Thank you.

The Royal family are in 2 weeks mourning so no news except I understand Harry has flown back to the US.

Tomorrow will be my late mam's 91st birthday.It is 10 years this November since she died of cancer.

 

I'm surprised Harry didnt stay for her birthday.

Going to have one of them and some steamers when we stop in Ft Lauderdale (Kelly's Landing) on our way back from the Keys.  I prefer it cold

Total post count is kind of tricky. As far as I know, posting in Floataway Lounge does not increase your post count. 

Floataway lounge posts do not count in post count.

Is that why she is dead?

 

LOL...it could have been "A little wine in the food...a little wine in the chef...little bit more wine in the food...a LOT more wine in the Chef".   

 

OMG...I am doomed.  😮😉

Soft shell lobster, indeed cheaper...but they don't fill out the shell very well (new shell with growing body).  Not really a fan.  Give me a good claw cracker...and put me to work on the big hard shell boys!  😉 

 

I agree that there is nothing better than good lobster but when it was served in a cafeteria it was a treat compared to generic mac and cheese or air popped popcorn that we served out of a dresser drawer because we had no bowls!

Was it caused by Covid?

 

If I get to 92...still using butter and drinking wine...I consider I had a good life.  😉 

 

She was 91. A 6-foot-2 American folk hero, “The French Chef” was known to her public as Julia. ... Child, who died two days before her 92nd birthday, had been suffering from kidney failure, Cousins said.Aug 14, 2004

UK news reports say he met William and Charles once but nothing resolved and he has flown back to the US to be with his pregnant wife.

Seriously, it is easier to take out a gall bladder.

 

You should try growing Magnolia trees from seed!!   Yikes, time consuming and very complicated...but Bucky had a lot of time on his hands from being on lockdown.  😉

And Bob is still on the list even though he hasn’t posted in what, 2 years?

Reputation aint all it's cracked up to be. 😉

 

I'm not even sure how it works, probably something to do with the Thanks/Laugh/Like buttons

 

I have no idea either...didn't even realize that list/ranking existed.  And .....will probably forget about it shortly anyway.  😄

More pictures I took today. 

Encyclia cordigera species. Smells a little like chocolate.

 

My shadehouse built for my orchids.

 

Dosing system for pesticides and fertilizers.

 

Tubing attached to pipe for the automatic watering system. I like things easy. 😁

 

Paphiopedilum aka Lady Slipper orchid

 

Blurry picture but I wanted to show more of the flower stem.

 

There were a couple more in bloom I didn't get pictures of. Maybe tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

Wow!  You indeed have a true green thumb.  Love your big Mango tree in the side yard.  I miss mine.  Had the same thing growing next to our screen enclosure on the boat canal when we lived on Merritt Island.  Rotten Raccoon loved to eat them and then sleep/poop all over the screen enclosure roof.  😠

Watched the first episode of Atlantic Crossing last night. Good start. Thanks to whoever mentioned it. We’re running out of binge watching shows. Need to set up a free Hulu trial so that we can continue watching Vikings past season 3.
