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.

Hi Linda, we had a really hot day today with high humidity, and just plain bleh. I got in a walk early this morning while it was realitively cool out there. Did a good 45 minutes up to CVS Pharmacy and back. I might go for an evening walk after dinner. Not sure. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the barbecued spare ribs with baked potato, and corn on the cob and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight since I haven't been out since this morning.

Hi Zzyyggy. Even though it was supposed to rain here, it didn’t. It was cloudy, breezy, and much cooler with the temperature near 80 degrees until the sun came out around 5:00 this evening. The temperature went up to 84 degrees for an hour or so. Not a bad day at all. I’m ready to relax out on the terrace with you. I ordered a plate of chocolate chip pecan cookies and an iced coffee with extra cream and sugar. 😋

Hi Linda, we had another day of really hot, humid weather here. I stayed inside most of the day, and read with the AC on full blast. Went outside for a bit in the afternoon, but scurried back inside. For dinner tonight I would love the meat loaf platter with mashed potatoes, gravy, beans, dinner rolls, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. I'm going to eat in the dining room tonight with the AC on and watch the fishies. Igor is looking a little lost now, the next holiday is labor day. I told him to use a summery theme in here. He did quite well with the yellow and green splashes of color, and the rainbows. Of course his favorite holiday is after labor day.

Hi Zzyyggy. You just described my days in the summer in Charlotte. It was another summer day here, except I didn’t sleep well last night and ended up sleeping most of the morning away. It would be better to run around getting things done in the morning and then napping in the afternoon, I suppose.
Poor Igor. We could suggest summer themes for Igor, although a day at the beach would have to have a no sand inside rule. Under the sea might be fun. Certainly, a garden party would be lovely. Sadly, there are no let’s nap all day decorating schemes.
It’s getting late, so I think I’ll order a scoop of chocolate chip mint ice cream and call it a night. Until tomorrow.

Hi Linda, for a day at the beach we'll allow the sand inside. That would be perfect with the fish tanks. Igor and Jorge are all excited and are painting a mural for the event. This weekend we'll have an indoor beach party complete with fish fry, beach balls, and a little ocean in the dining room. I know we can do it on the real beach but this is more fun. For dinner tonight I would love a Bacon and Lettuce grinder with no tomatos but extra bacon, and mayo. A bag of chips and a coca cola with it please. For dessert I'll have some blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. We had a much cooler day today with a nice breeze blowing and no humidity. I had my windows opened all day, and got in a walk and a swim. I'll eat in the dining room and watch the boys paint their mural.

Hi Zzyyggy. I’m glad they decided to put the beach volleyball court outside. It would have made serving food difficult. I do like the beach umbrellas. I’m more interested in the menus. We can have clambakes, crab and lobster boils, or low country boils—they all use similar ingredients. I know I’m thinking about seafood recipes, but barbecue and grilled everything needs to be included. Then there are all the sides and desserts. Oh, my goodness, Chef Francois and his minions are going to be very busy. Oh, don’t forget paella.
The temperature went up to 97 degrees today, hot and humid even at 9:00 am when it was 87 degrees. We stayed indoors today. Sweetie made his sundried tomato chicken for dinner. I made a yummy vegetable salad with my new favorite homemade Dijon vinaigrette. Your dessert order, blueberry pie and vanilla ice cream sounds delicious. I’ll have mine with whipped cream on top. I was going to order an iced tea, but I’m craving iced coffee. Iced coffee with sugar and cream won’t keep me awake if I have dessert after 10:00 pm, will it?

Hi Linda, we had another perfect day here. Temps in the 70s and no humidity with a nice breeze. Haven't spent much time outside though. For dinner tonight I would love a huge platter of spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. Since the food here in the cafe has no caffein as well as no calories you can drink all the iced coffee you like without having to stay awake. Or you can have it with caffein if you want. I'm going to eat down by the pool to let the boys continue with their mural, plus I need to go for a swim first.

Hi Zzyyggy. We had another hot and humid day. The clouds started moving in this afternoon and, while the air was oppressive, the clouds were spectacular. The storms passed us by, literally missing us by less than half a mile. We were out doing chores, went out for burgers, and got caught in a few stray raindrops that stopped within two blocks of our street.
Zzyyggy, don’t forget the beach right in front of the cybercafe. I went for a walk on the beach earlier. It looks like Igor and Jorge have lots of help setting up a couple of pavilions. Plus there’s a cabana kitchen for Chef’s minions. I didn’t want to get in the way, so I’m not sure what all is going on there. It looks like we’re going to have an incredible day/weekend at the beach. Maybe there’ll be a chance to build sand castles?
I’m going to go snooze in my favorite parlor in the Club Room. I ordered iced tea and some lemon drop cookies, plus I made sure I have some of those tuna treats Useless likes.

Hi Linda, it was a hot, and humid here today as well. Got in a swim this morning, and walked home. Then went out to the museum and did some walking there. They've started on the new exhibit building for the indigenous artifacts from Vermont and New York. Right now it's just a big hole in the ground. I'm pooped and hungry. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the rotisserie chicken with potato salad, corn on the cob with lots of butter. For dessert I'll have a slice of devil's food cake with chocolate ice cream, and an iced mocha. I had the real thing this morning. Not from Starbucks but another closer coffee shop it was pretty good, and it's on my way home from the pool. Yes building sand castles. I'm up for that. And a bonfire on the beach night.

Hi Zzyyggy. We had another typical summer day for the Charlotte area. It was a lovely day to wander around the gardens and orchards here at the cybercafe. I’ve decided to spend another evening in the Club Room away from all the preparations and fuss for what appears to have become a weekend at the beach. I do hope it brings up memories of summers spent on the Jersey shore for a day at Point Pleasant or a week in Wildwood. I remember flying kites on the beach and riding bikes on the boardwalk in the morning. We’d buy birch beer sodas and Belgian waffle sundaes and we always remembered to get salt water taffy for Grandma and the Aunties. We went out to eat at a seafood restaurant once, but the rest of the time we made our own meals. My mom was big on healthy food, but when we went to the shore for a week she’d buy those one serving cereal boxes. At home our cereal choices were shredded wheat or Cheerios, but for vacation we’d buy the sweetest, most unwholesome cereal possible—Cap’n Crunch, Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs. My father was always appalled, but Mom ate the sweet stuff right along with us.
I think I’ll order a bowl of Truly Chocolate ice cream for dessert tonight. Tomorrow is Friday and the fun and fantasy will begin with a clambake and a bonfire on the beach. I’m sure there’ll be a band and dancing on one of those pavilions. I’d better get out my cowgirl boots.

Hi Linda, nothing like a good ole fashion clam bake on the beach. Clams, potatoes, and corn on the cob galore with iced cold coca cola, and coleslaw. Mmmmm. Best part it's all inside the dining room with Calyspso music, and a nice tropical breeze. For dessert Francois is having a cupcake and icecream bar. I'll have my usual iced mocha with that please. We had a really hot, and humid day today here. Had physical therapy this morning, but spent most of the day inside reading. I'm just plain pooped today.

Hi Zzyyggy. My goodness, it was so wild last night at the cybercafe I completely forgot to post. The food was delicious. Igor was in holiday euphoria. He sure loves his holidays. Have you noticed the tiki bar going up on the terrace? Mm, bet there’ll be drinks served in coconuts with little umbrellas in them. Viktor, our drink master (is there such a thing?) is promising smoothies. There’s a raspberry pineapple swirl smoothie I’d love to try.
Ive decided to spend the summer at the cybercafe because every day promises to hot and humid at home. I’ve spent the afternoon swimming and floating around the cyberpool, but Viktor brought out my cheese and freggies plate with my favorite little cheese crackers and an iced tea. I think I’ll sit here by the pool and enjoy the breeze for awhile.0 -
Hi Linda, I'm going to join you. It's going to be hazy humid, and hot next week. Either I'll be at the cafe all week or at the pool. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a diner bacon cheeseburger with french fries, and a rootbeer. For dessert I'll have some apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. Then I'll join the clam bake. I'm starving. They've got the carribbean music playing with the beach balls flying.

Hi Zzyyggy. I can’t decide whether to order dinner or take a nap. I think I’ll cruise the seafood buffet, have some sparkling fruity drinks, and enjoy fresh fruit with creme fraiche for dessert. My friend Priscilla used to macerate berries and plums with balsamic vinegar and sugar and serve it with creme fraiche and it was delicious.
I need to go to bed early tonight. Sweetie isn’t sleeping well and he keeps waking me up in the middle of the night when he comes to bed (or back to bed) and then I can’t get back to sleep. That means I’m awake at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, while he sleeps until 10:00 am or later. This morning he slept until noon. I ended up getting four hours os sleep. It’s making me crazy.

Hi Linda, I've been sleeping weird too. Lately I've been sleeping all afternoon, and then getting up at 4 or 4, and continuing with the day. I think it's the humidity. We had another hot and humid day today with lots of warm wind as well. That didn't cut down on the humidity though. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a roast beef grinder with chips and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a giant party cookie with m&ms and chocolate chips, and an iced mocha. Maybe make that 2 or three. I'll eat in the dining room with the ac. I think I'll just head back to bed.

Hi Zzyyggy. It would be nice if we could get a break from the 90 degree temperatures. I haven’t felt like cooking much, but Sweetie is headed Costco today and promised to buy a rotisserie chicken. Thank goodness 😅. Your dessert order from last night, the giant party cookie, sounds wonderful. I ordered one for lunch. I spent the morning in the cyberpool and then moved out to the terrace for lunch. It’s lovely in the shade here. Viktor brought a pitcher of iced tea for me. I’m well supplied. I think I’ll spend the afternoon reading. I’m reading a vampire series. My sisters would be horrified. I’m enjoying the books—they’re well written and humorous and keep me entertained.
I almost forgot to mention that it’s National Macaroni and Cheese day! I’m sure Francois has that covered. I wonder if the French mind that the crazy Americans have co-opted Bastille Day?

Hi Linda, I could go with some cooler weather as well. I finally got out for a walk today, and the humidity really hit me. I took it easy though, and stopped in the shade. Had plenty of water. I walked up to City Market and picked up some groceries, and then stopped at the drugstore and picked up some soda. City Market doesn't have the soda I like. Came home, and was drenched from sweating. I've been drinking water ever since I got home. For dinner tonight I couldn't decide between the Costco rotisserie chicken or the macaroni and cheese so I'll have both with a nice cucumber watermelon salad, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. I'll eat down by the pool after a nice cool refreshing dip. The outdoor breeze is just right. Later we'll have a bonfire with s'mores.

Hi Zzyyggy. I haven’t figured out what I’m actually making for dinner, but there will definitely be some rotisserie chicken. I chopped up a bunch of vegetables, but I haven’t decided whether to make a cold salad or steam or sauté them. Maybe I’ll check the cybercafe’s leftovers refrigerator to see if there’s still macaroni and cheese, otherwise I’ll order up more macaroni and cheese as a side dish. It’s so convenient to have all the foods I love made here at the cybercafe. I’m planning on having Sunset Dessert on the terrace this evening if you would care to join me, Zzyyggy. I ordered a peach custard pie and iced tea to drink.
We’re having another hot, humid day with a chance of scattered thunderstorms. Nothing much is happening here, unless you consider laundry exciting.

Hi Linda, we had another hazy, hot, and humid day today. Very humid with smoke from the Canadian Wild fires to make things worse. I got in a swim this morning, and did some reading at the library afterwords. I needed to get out of the apartment for a bit. Walking home though was rough, but I took it easy, and it was still early enough in the day to be realitively cool. For dinner tonight I would love the meat loaf platter with mashed potatoes, peas, dinner rolls, and gravy. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. I'm going to eat down by the pool again. It's cooler, and I can go for a dip to cool off before and after dinner. Later we'll have a bonfire with s'mores, and more iced mochas, or iced teas.

Hi Zzyyggy. I got my hair cut today. Viktor is bringing a nice hot cup of coffee out here to my table by the cyberpool. Just trying to warm up.
