So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, It's humid here as well today, but windy. Temps are 79 degrees. I got in a swim, and walk earlier. For dinner tonight I'm going to have chicken salad with ice tea and potato salad. I just feel like iced tea tonight. For dessert I'll have some brownies, and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace again.

Zzyyggy! I didn’t make it in to the cybercafe yesterday. I had a colonoscopy this morning so yesterday was the prep day. 🤢 Everything looks good and I was very relieved. Whew, won’t have to do that for another five years. To celebrate, I decided to order a nice big piece of Carvel ice cream cake, with a chocolate ice cream layer and a vanilla ice cream layer. For the filling I ordered crunchies and mini M&Ms and fudge topping with white piping. Maybe I’ll have a second piece later this evening after I have my macaroni and cheese dinner. But first, I need a nap. There’s a comfortable recliner out on the screened in porch overlooking the orchards that’s the perfect place for a nap.

See you on the terrace later this evening.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, glad things went well with the colonoscopy. mine is coming up in the fall. We're having a thunderstorm now. It's been mostly cloudy all day. Tried to get in a swim but got up there, and found I had forgotten my bathing suit so I came back home. I did get a walk in. For dinner tonight I'm going to have some comfort food. I'll have some KFC original recipe with mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, peas, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight. I love watching the whales go by.

Hi Zzyyggy. It’s lovely out here on the ocean side terrace. I ended up taking a nap this afternoon. I think I could have slept right through till morning. I was hoping Sweetie made dinner, but he didn’t. Thank goodness Chef Francois makes delicious macaroni and cheese. Plus, Viktor makes sure there a bread baskets on every table. Mm, I like the little mini cranberry nut muffins. So good.

It must have been that kind of morning. You forgot your bathing suit, the endoscopy center didn’t tell me they moved. Not only did they not tell me they moved, but their email had a link to a map and directions going to the old address (even though they’ve been at the new place a couple of years). Furthermore, after I got back home I received the email with the online check-in forms. I’d say it’s a little late for that one. No wonder the nurse thought I had high blood pressure the first time she took it. Fortunately, my blood pressure dropped back down to a normal 120/74. Yup, it was one of those mornings.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, wow, I guess there must have been something in the air. I had a better morning this morning. Met my new doctor. A young P.A., male, but hopefully he won't be retiring anytime soon. He could change jobs, but I hope not. He seems pretty good. Kept me on the same meds, and wants a follow up appointment in 3 months. Weather was very hot, and humid today. I did get a walk, and swim in this morning before it got hotter. Tomorrow we're going to have some really wild thunderstorms. I hope to be home before they strike. I have a swim, and a morning trip to the museum. For dinner tonight I would like a plate of Francois's famos lasagna with lots of garlic bread, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookie ice cream with chocolate sauce, and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace again. I need to go for a walk through the cyber farm soon.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. Ugh, I’ve had enough doctor visits for a while. I didn’t go outside today, but when I called Miss Nora to confirm my hair appointment for tomorrow, she said it was really hot and humid and she simply couldn’t handle the hot weather anymore. And this is just the beginning of summer. We’re having a heatwave. Next Tuesday it’s supposed to be 100 degrees. We usually see temperatures in the high 80’s and the low 90’s in the summer. We haven’t seen 100 degrees in awhile. I’m glad we have central air conditioning. I have a feeling it’s going to be hot this summer even though I requested cooler weather. No one listens to me.

Lasagna sounded so good that I ordered that for dinner. I think I’ll have another piece of garlic bread and a cup of coffee for dessert.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I didn't get to either my swim or the museum. I did go for a long walk though before the rains hit. It's been cloudy, hot and humid most of the day, but the sun is out. For dinner tonight I would love a quarter pounder with cheese, those famos fries, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. I'll eat by the pool this evening, after a swim. Later we'll have a bonfire with s'mores.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. Oh, those fries sound good. I’ll have some fries and chocolate chip cookies and iced coffee. It was a beautiful day here. Even though it was 90 degrees the sun was shining, there was a nice breeze, and the humidity was below 60%. Besides I spent the day at Miss Nora’s hair salon in the arctic air conditioning so it felt wonderful to walk out into the heat. I might fall asleep before the s’mores are ready.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, it started out rainy, cold and cloudy, but warmed up nicely. I had a physical therapy session, and went for a walk earlier. For dinner tonight I would love the fried scallops with french fries and a baked potato with a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight. We had a wicked bad thunderstorm last night and I swear I saw a tornado, which didn't touch down. There was a deffinite circulation pattern, and the lightning was fierce. The winds were really howling.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. I love stormy weather, however, tornadoes or hurricanes? Not so much. It’s going to be hot and horrible under the heat dome for the next two weeks. The first day of summer was a lovely 89 degrees with low humidity and a lovely breeze. What’s another 10-12 degrees? Nooooooooooo 😬 🥵 We might have to have a snow storm at the cybercafe before the summer is over, although it’s a bit too early for that.

It’s nice out on the terrace here at the cybercafe tonight. The apple crisp with vanilla ice cream is a great choice, Zzyyggy. I’m going to order that, too. Mm, goes great with iced coffee.

The refrigerator in the garage stopped working. Sweetie can fix it, but the refrigerator is 17 years old and it ended up in the garage because it broke down before and Sweetie fixed it. We went shopping today for a basic refrigerator for the garage. We bought one. It’s no-frills—no ice maker, no special shelves. It does close automatically, so it won’t accidentally be left open for hours on end. I know the experts say you shouldn’t refrigerate onions and potatoes, but it’s too hot here to leave them out. I put them in the garage refrigerator. It’s where we put bottled water and sodas, too. I even put flour there. The refrigerator in the kitchen is counter depth and has a really small freezer. It’s really nice to have more freezer space.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, All I really want for dinner tonight is a carton of Ben and Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with an iced mocha. Well make that 2 cartons. I had potato chips yestarday and haven't felt well all day. So it's back to bed for me. I'll enjoy the ocean view on the terrace, and we can have a bonfire with s'mores later.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, no more chips for you! I know, it’s that salty, crispy crunch that’s so difficult to resist. Right now I’m craving a bowl of Chef Francois’ French onion soup with the toasted bread and melted cheese on top. Viktor always brings more bread and cheese, of course. Later I’ll toast a marshmallow and have it with my coffee.

I have been doing laundry today. I really need to do Sweetie’s laundry, too. I’m waiting until he mows the lawn. Sunday morning or Monday morning he’ll mow the lawn. It’s going to be hot this week, the earlier he starts in the morning, the better.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, it's hot, humid and hazy here. We had some thunderstorms this morning, but it didn't cool it down. I'm doing laundry as well. Got two loads done. Whether or not they get put away before I use them remains to be seen. I also got in a swim and walk today earlier in the morning. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the Sunday's grilled prime rib with backed potato, and a coca cola. Lots of butter for that potato. For dessert I'll have some apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. In the real world I'm cooking a turkey thigh in my airfryer for the first time with a baked potato. I'll eat out on the terrace and we'll watch the sunset with another bonfire. Maybe go for a swim later to cool down.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. It was hot today. The was 94 degrees. The humidity wasn’t too bad, but that didn’t make it any cooler. The next three days the temperature is supposed to be hanging around 100 degrees and then drop back down under 95 degrees for the next two weeks. I can’t wait until the temperature drops down into the 80’s. I wonder when that will be. I’m going to be staying here at The Cybercafe Inn, preferably in the pool or on the terrace.

Viktor has been refreshing my iced tea with mini scoops of lemon sorbet this evening and brought me a cheese and freggies plate with my favorite little cheese crackers for dinner. I think I’ll make a s’mores sundae later. While I have an air fryer function on both my oven and my toaster oven, I’ve never used it. You’ll have to tell me how it turns out. I have no plans for Monday, but more laundry seems to be on the agenda. I’ve been trying to be better about folding the towels. I can get most everything else folded and put away except for towels and socks. My new trick is to fold them as I’m taking them out of the dryer.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, very hot, humid, and hazy here. temp was 98 degrees with 90% humidity. Got in a walk in the early morning when it was only 78 degrees. The thigh was a little under cooked but pretty good. Tonight I'm doing a pork chop in it. The thigh was partially frozen. The pork chop is thawed so that should go a little better. Potato came out perfect. It certainly keeps the house cool though. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a roast beef grinder with the works, potato chips (the only place I'll eat them) and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a giant chocolate chip cookie with an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace. Maybe I should conjure up a winter storm for the Cyber Cafe.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. Our temperature was the same here, but it wasn’t hazy and the humidity wasn’t bad, although the dew point was 70 degrees. It’s supposed to be 100 degrees in Charlotte tomorrow (Tuesday). Yes, I like keeping the house cool, too. In hot weather I cook in my toaster oven and microwave as much as possible. I love those Costco rotisserie chickens, especially in the hot weather.

We got our new garage refrigerator this morning. The drivers are supposed to call before delivery. They kinda did. They called, the Google voice system answered and then they hung up. We woke up to the doorbell at 6:45. 😳 I think they were here for less than 10 minutes. Easy delivery. Of course, that left me plenty of time to do more laundry. I even folded and put everything away. Except for the socks. I’ll get to them. Eventually.

Chef Francois made blueberry swirl ice cream today. I ordered a bowl topped with hot fudge sauce. Mm, a sweet treat for sweet dreams.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, glad you got your delivery. I've never had a delivery come that early. It was 98 here with 80% humidity here today. Not a breeze in sight. I got a swim in early this morning, and wish I could go again tonight. I took SSTA both ways because even that early it was humid. That ice cream does sound good. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the rotisserie chicken with potato salad and coleslaw. I think Francois has the Costco recipe. I'll have a coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some of that blueberry swirl ice cream, and an iced mocha. I think I'll eat in the airconditioned dining room and be mesmerized by all the acquariums.

LindaK125

Viktor, I’ll have what she’s having, please! Zzyyggy, the dining room looks lovely this evening. I see Igor has been decorating for July 4th already—just little touches of red, white, and blue here and there. Hopefully, he won’t go overboard. The pool is already red, white, and blue. I think the pool liner can change colors. You went swimming at the Y today, but I went swimming in the cyberpool.

We had the same weather here in Charlotte that you had in Vermont, Zzyyggy. The humidity in the morning here tends to be high. This morning the humidity was 95%, but by afternoon the humidity was down around 50%. It’s the dew point that makes it feel so uncomfortable, especially once it’s over 70 degrees. This afternoon the dew point was 72 degrees. Ugh. As far as I’m concerned, anything over 90 degrees is 🥵. Too hot for me. Next Wednesday the temperature is supposed to dip to 88 degrees, otherwise we’ll be having temperatures in the 90’s for at least the next two weeks.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, much better day today weather wise, but I've had some kind of bug which is upsetting my tummy, and no I haven't eaten any potato chips recently lol. (That's what my sister asked me). I sat outside and read for a bit. For dinner tonight I would love a bowl of chicken soup with oyster crackers and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. I'll eat again in the dining room. I love watching the fishies. I think my cat would to. Here she is helping me change sheets.

Yup the lump in the middle is her. I finally had to coax her out with one of her catnip toys. Every time I tried to pull the sheet up she'd take it back with her claws.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. Nothing like having a cat help you do chores. 🐈‍⬛ Apparently, changing sheets is a fun game. Who knew? Sorry you’re not feeling well, I hope you feel better soon. Chef Francois makes the best chicken soup. It will definitely help you get better. I’m going to ask Viktor to put the vanilla ice cream in my iced mocha.

Just a thought—maybe the potato chips didn’t make you as sick as you thought. Maybe you were already sick?

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, that could be. My stomach hasn't been up to par in the last couple of weeks, and the humidity isn't helping at all. Thank god it broke, and today is quite chilly, cloudy and rainy. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a bowl of beef stew with lots of bread and butter for dunking. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. Wow, a chilly day. I’m jealous. It’s still hot here in the Charlotte area. I’ll join you out on the terrace for chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I’m so tired I can’t decide whether to go to bed for the night now or wait another two hours. It’s 7:30 pm. If I go to bed now I’ll probably be awake really early in the morning.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, we had a rare perfect day here today. Not to hot, not too cold just right. I spent a lot of it reading outside, but did have pt this morning. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the fried scallops with french fries, cole slaw, and tarter sauce and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies with an iced mocha. I'll eat down by the pool today and go swimming after dinner before bonfire.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. I could use a day of nice weather. The back of our house faces southwest. There’s a lot of heat coming through the windows in the kitchen, living room, and our master bedroom, so in the afternoons I close the blinds up and close the curtains, too. After a while it feels like we’re living in a cave. Between the heat and the dark afternoons I’m getting so grouchy. Don’t get me wrong, we have central air and our house is cool, but I’m not sleeping well and I’m eating too much. I’m making myself crazy.

It’s too hot for a bonfire. Maybe a campfire would suffice. Viktor made my favorite iced tea with mini scoops of lemon sorbet. Francois made madeleines dipped in chocolate today and Viktor brought a plate over for us. You have to have some, they’re delicious.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, yes I know the feeling. The sun shines right into my living room windows, and I have to lower my shades. It gets very hot in my livingroom in the late afternoon. For dinner tonight I would love a porter house steak grilled to perfection a baked potato with lots of butter, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce, and an iced mocha. It was a gorgeous outsided this afternoon, but rained in the morning.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. Sweetie made pot roast with carrots and mashed potatoes for dinner. It was delicious. Now it’s time for dessert at the cybercafe. It’s quite windy outside, almost too windy to sit by the pool or on the terrace, so I’ve chosen to spend the evening in the dining room alcove by the french doors. With the windows and doors open it’s lovely and not too windy. Sweetie and I ordered brownie sundaes with Truly Chocolate ice cream. Like you, Sweetie wants his with chocolate sauce. I prefer fudge sauce and whipped cream on mine. Viktor said he’d put some maraschino cherries on my sundae, as well.

It’s been hot, in the low 90’s here southeast of Charlotte. The nights have been mostly in the mid 70’s which makes things more comfortable. By August the nights will be warmer. We have, at the very least, two more months of similar weather. September stays hot, just not as hot. I’m hoping we don’t see hurricanes this summer.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, your potroast sounds much better then my chicken fingers and macaroni and cheese, but I'm waiting until the first to do any shopping and my freezer is getting on empty. Fortunately I only have another day to wait. For dinner tonight I would love the Sunday barbecued chicken with potato salad and corn on the cob and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some home made vanilla ice cream (Francois made a batch earlier) and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight. We had a cloudy day but no rain and there was some sunshine. I love the red white and blue pool colors.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. Oh, potato salad sounds yummy. I’d love some potato salad with mayonnaise and eggs—I make mine with a Dijon vinaigrette, no eggs. Rotisserie chicken would go nicely with the potato salad and a fresh cucumber, tomato, and basil salad, too. Homemade vanilla ice cream would be a cool treat for dessert.

It was a hot, humid 93 degrees today until it rained a little bit around 5:30 pm and the temperature dropped 20 degrees. Then it was even more humid, but so much cooler. Tomorrow is grocery shopping day. Rotisserie chicken is on the list. Maybe I’ll go, too. I haven’t gone grocery shopping in 5 or 6 years, but last week I went to Lowe’s with Sweetie and we bought our new garage refrigerator. If I can do that I can go to Costco.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, we had a very hot day but no humidity. Got in a walk this afternoon. It reached 89 degrees. Now I'm inside with the AC on high. For dinner tonight I would love a BLT with no tomatoes, a bag of chips, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a giant chocolate chip cookie with an iced mocha. I'm going to eat by the pool this evening. I'll go for a swim and then eat. I love relaxxing on the floating chairs in the red,white and blue pool. I put in an order for the fourth's red, white, and blue berrry cake. Francois is going to start working on it.

LindaK125

Hi Zzyyggy. It was hot and humid today here, too, except we had a rain shower around 3:00 this afternoon and the temperature dropped to 84 degrees and stayed lower for the rest of the afternoon. I didn’t go shopping, maybe next time. Sweetie got a rotisserie chicken for us, but no big cookies. 🍪 I asked him not to because Chef Francois makes delicious giant chocolate chip cookies. Mm, cookies and iced mochas by the pool. Delightful. M&Ms anyone?
