He majored in Film with a minor in Business, unfortunately he has my artistic genes. He loves screenwriting and producing. He is very creative but he really doesn't know what he wants to do. I told him you are young it's ok to change your mind. After all I have a degree in music and ended up in broadcast television. Thank you for your kind comments. I hope you and your family are safe and I will continue to hold you in my heart.

 

Congratulations! My son also got his degree in film and works for a cruise line. He made promotional videos and ads. Luckily he stayed employed this past year but the film department took a hit so he moved onto App development and really loves it. It is ok to change your mind.

My wife made Homemade KeyLime pie last night, thought  we were in Key West , Florida........ It was excellent ! Even the whipped topping was homemade. !!

 

 

 

Made my first home made key lime pie a couple of months ago.  I might have posted pics here??  Really good and really simple to do, so long as you have real key limes.

Who doesn't?  I like cheesecake that's dense, heavy not light and fluffy.

 

That's the ONLY kind of cheesecake I'll eat!  And must have a thick, buttery graham cracker crust.

I was watching Back to the Future III early this morning.  
 

When we stopped for lunch on our travels today, I thought I had gone Back to the Future, when I saw this hanging in the men’s room at the restaurant.  

 

It has been a long time since I have seen one of these posters. 

 

She went to a rival high school of mine, but she was 14 years older than me.

Got my first haircut today.  Their card said the last time I was there was Jan. 2020.  They were still requiring masks, although the staff said they couldn't wait for the owner to give them the OK to take them off.

Then I went to Publix.  They were still requiring masks also.

Just finished with the pictures for the sale of our house.  We can go back to living normally again (without the house looking perfect) until Friday when the showings start.  Unfortunately, it was raining so the photographer couldn't get good outside pictures.  I've sent the shots that I took from Saturday when it was sunny so hopefully that will work.  The photographer did say that rainy days help with the interior pictures that have windows, since the outside is visible through the window.  On sunny days, the windows can get blown out (bright white) when the interior room is properly exposed.

Went to a restaurant last night.  Indoor dining has been open in Ohio for a while.  No signs anywhere about wearing a mask but almost everyone was wearing one when not sitting at a table.  Restaurants and stores will be in an interesting position for the next month or 2 since the CDC updated their mask guidance (for those vaccinated), which may differ from state or local rules, which may differ from the rules of the establishment.  Many (like our restaurant last night?) may just do a "soft" change where they remove mask restrictions but don't announce it, and let customers do as they please.

Massachusetts just announced that the mask mandate is ending May 29th and all businesses can open at 100%.  State of emergency ending June 15th.  Still some mask requirements for mass transportation, nursing homes and a few others.  Kids can now start playing sports without masks starting tomorrow.

 

Will be interesting to see how this goes.

@momof3girlz could you do me a favor?  Can you post a pic of your shallow end stairs of your pool with the hand rail? I tried to explain it to Lisa but she isn’t envisioning it.

Just as a heads up, I checked the prices for our March 2022 Explorer B2B Caribbean cruises and found the price for both legs have gone down. Just got off the phone with the TA and got the price reductions for both legs. 🍻

That is great that they are ending the mask mandate prior to Memorial day weekend instead of after.

Just signed up our Ocala friends for gate passes for the upcoming offshore boat races this Sunday. 

 

Hope the weather holds

I am very surprised.  Of course, there are already people complaining that he should lift the mandate immediately.

Definitely the race car.  For some reason, the shoe is my second choice.

I may have to rethink my preference in future games.

And how sexist is it that the 'female' representative pieces are an iron, a thimble, and possibly an old shoe.
