So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

Hi Linda, we had down pours this morning, and humidity in the afternoon. I got in a swim, and it stopped long enough for me to walk home from the Y, and get some grocery shopping in. Then it really started coming down again. For dinner tonight I would love a big bowl of beef stew with lots of bread and butter for dipping. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'm going to have a slice of devil's food cake with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight and enjoy the sunset. There will be a bonfire later with Igor and Jorge serenading us with guitare music.

Hi Zzyyggy. I fell asleep out on the terrace last night. I didn’t even get my order in. It must have been the music. At the moment I’m sitting in the Club Room here at the cybercafe. Viktor has just delivered my lunch order: iced tea, a bowl of sugared berries, fresh vegetable salad with Greek dressing, and a crab salad sandwich on a croissant. The crab was fresh caught this morning. I love the Club Room. First of all, it’s on the second floor and there’s always an incredible view if you choose an area with windows. It’s a huge space that’s broken up into small salons and alcoves and balconies. Each space has seating and tables. They all have comfortable chairs or sofas, some have dining tables or library tables, others have a cafe table or two. There are some fireplaces throughout, as well. Anyway, I’m enjoying my lunch inside so I can read the newspapers and my book and enjoy the quiet. I might just fall asleep in this big wing chair.

The weather at home was dismal this morning. We had rain overnight and at noon the humidity was still over 90%. Even though the temperature was in the 70’s it felt stuffy (the dew point has been 74 degrees today and that has made it much worse). The sun is trying to come out this afternoon, but by 3:00 the rain will return. Your rain sounds a bit like what we had last night and early this morning. There was a line of rain squalls and showers that went through our area overnight.

Hi Linda, wow you keep finding these amazing places in the cafe. I bet the club rooms also have fireplaces. We had a nice day but the humidity was rough. I was only out for a few minutes, and haven't even gone for a walk yet. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the baked ziti with salad, garlic bread and a coca cola. For dessert I'm craving a strawberry shortcake with an iced mocha. I'll join you in the club room which is nice and airconditioned this time of year. Maybe later we'll go outside and have a bonfire with s'mores.

Zzyyggy, we got more rain in the afternoon—1/2 an inch. The humidity stayed high, however Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the humidity is going to drop and the dew point will be in the 60’s making the days feel more comfortable. While it will be in the low 90’s it won’t feel like it’s over 100 degrees. Thank goodness.

I love the Club Room at the cybercafe and I’ve spent many a winter evening reading in a comfortable chair with a cat on my lap there. Igor always lays a fire in all the fireplaces. It’s a nice place for solitude or sharing time together for putting together puzzles, playing cards, or enjoying a meal with a few friends. By the way, this ziti is excellent. I couldn’t resist ordering the same thing you ordered. The strawberry shortcake is a wonderful treat.

Hi Linda, It's been raining off and on here all day. Got in a swim this morning, and did some laundry. Will be watching the fireworks tonight since they're right below me. I get to see them with no crowds, or mosquitos. They are already setting them up and there is a ton of boats out there already. I'm worried about the cat but she should be okay. I'll be here. For dinner tonight Francois is grilling hotdogs, and hamburgers to order and has set out the condiments and salads. Tomorrow we'll be having barbecued chicken. I'll have a cheeseburger, and hotdog with potato salad, and corn on the cob with of course a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some blueberry crisp with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight. There will be a bonfire later tonight with S'mores, and more iced mocha's or iced teas.

Hi Zzyyggy. It sounds like you have one of the best seats in house for fireworks. You get the show without the noise. I don’t handle loud noises or crowds very well. We can’t see the sky through the trees at our house. Back at the cybercafe the burgers and sides were good tonight. I saved my dessert for later with s’mores. I think a blueberry s’mores ice cream sundae would be delicious.

Hi Linda, Francois has the grill set up again, and is barbecuing steaks, or chicken. I think I'll have a porter house steak with baked potato, corn on the cob again, and a coca cola. For dessert Francois made his famous red, white, blue berry cake with colorful frosting. I'll have a slice of that with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. Today is perfect out there with lots of sunshine, and clear blue skies. Temp is 74 degrees with no humidity, and a nice breeze. Sat outside and read for a bit. Igor and Jorge will be setting off the fireworks later tonight, and have set up some sparklers for us. Happy 4th of July.

Zzyyggy, what, 75 degrees was Burlington’s high today? I would love that. Don’t get me wrong, we had a beautiful day today. It was less humid and the dew point dropped into the mid 60’s. The high today was 91 degrees and it was hot. It’s cooling down this evening, but the temperature is still in the mid 80’s—actually, that feels pretty nice.

Mm, barbecue chicken with Alabama sauce and all the sides. Yes! I’m ready for cake and ice cream. Viktor made sure I have red, white, and blue M&M’s to add to my dessert.

🇺🇸 🎆 HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! 🎆 🇺🇸

Hi Linda, we had another perfect day here today. Temps were at 79 degrees, and no humidity with a nice breeze blowing. Sat outside for a bit and did some reading. Didn't get a whole lot more done. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the grilled porterhouse steak with baked potato, and cole slaw. For dessert I'll have some yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting and an iced mocha. I did another online order for everything I forgot on Tuesday and Ramona's dry cat food. The wet stuff my sister picks up from pet smart. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight and watch the sailing ships out in the ocean. It's kind of like watching all the sailing ships out on lake champlain this evening.

Hi Zzyyggy. It was cooler today, still hot at 88 degrees. Tomorrow it will be 79 degrees and it’s going to rain. I didn’t spend any time outside today. I didn’t sleep last night, but finally fell asleep this morning and slept for a couple of hours. So frustrating. I think I need to go to bed early tonight.

I’ll join you on the terrace for dessert. Sweetie and I had hamburgers for dinner tonight. I figured I’d have dessert at the cybercafe like most every night. I ordered an iced coffee and windmill cookies with a scoop or two of coffee ice cream.
