2:02 am

2:03 am
grannyrose
so please let me know if you need a hand with airfare to France and home. and if i can pay for it when we arrive there in Amsterdam .
2:03 am
sprite
ok, will check that out too. Geneva is prolly closest
2:03 am
grannyrose
i am going to email pugs, but ruby did say that she, ruby, didn't think pugs would come.
2:04 am
sprite
I don't think so either. But maybe she will surprise us all :)
2:05 am
grannyrose
sprite there is an airport at Annecy.
2:05 am
sprite
for how long will we stay in veyrier?
2:06 am
grannyrose
3 days and 4 nights.
2:06 am
sprite
there is? O wow, that is very close
2:07 am
grannyrose
from there a 10 minute bus ride will bring you to Veyrier
2:09 am
sprite
no flights at all to annecy, it seems :(
2:10 am
grannyrose
strange, has the airport been closed or just on the wrong day?
2:11 am
sprite
can't find any reference to an airport in annecy so far
2:12 am
grannyrose
www.annecy.aeroport.fr/home
2:12 am
sprite
ah, here, mont blanc annecy
2:13 am
grannyrose
we are taking the train, because we will be able to see a lot of the country-side
2:14 am
sprite
can't seem to book a flight though. Usual unhelpful french site, lol
2:15 am
grannyrose
maybe go through Amsterdam airport.
2:15 am
sprite
that is where I started. They don't show any annecy destinations
2:17 am
sprite
nope, only to geneva
2:18 am
sprite
or lyon-st exupery
2:18 am
grannyrose
i wonder....
2:18 am

2:20 am
grannyrose
prolly a good idea.
2:21 am
sprite
no flights found
2:21 am
sprite
ok, ruby it is :)
2:23 am
sprite
but if the costs from schiphol to geneva are any indication, I can easily pay for it
2:25 am
grannyrose

2:25 am
sprite

grannyrose
yum, yum.
2:34 am
grannyrose
closer to the date, book us in, kids included, if they have time...
2:34 am
sprite
not expensive either, and my most favorite part: you can order '4 course menu' and they will bring you their best. No need to choose, though you can if you want to
2:35 am
grannyrose
cost is NOT a factor sprite.
2:35 am
sprite
ok, will do. And check with the kids.
2:36 am
grannyrose
hmmm, and a cake ?? with sparklers on it?
2:36 am
sprite
sweetie, I hear ya, but it is really a favorite of ours. No need to go any more expensive, this is great
2:36 am
sprite
I can tell the restaurant it is for his birthday and to do something fun... they will love to
2:37 am
sprite
he'll be mortified though :)
2:37 am
grannyrose

Hiya Nef.
9:45 pm
Nef
Hi ori; Sorry, I had wandered off for a bit there
9:53 pm
Nef
Boy, there seems to be a serious lag in the chog tonight; everyone else must already be done I guess!
9:59 pm
origami
sorry Nef. I have been off listening to an acoustic CSN album. I wandered off also
9:59 pm
Nef
How are you doing tonight? I hope your cold is over & you are back to normal now?
10:01 pm
origami
It is over, thanks. How are you doing?
10:04 pm
Nef
doing fine. DH's surgery went well & I was able to bring him home the next day
10:05 pm
Nef
how are you doing with the grid?
10:37 pm
origami
Good deal Nef! So happy for you and the dh.
10:38 pm
origami
I am not doing so good with this grid. I think I am going to sign off and put my new drawer liners in. That
10:39 pm
origami
oops ... meant to say That is how exciting I am :D
10:39 pm
Nef
Sounds like an exciting evening, oriole's. ;-)
10:40 pm
origami
Major excitement goes down here all the time!
10:40 pm
Nef
I might even finish this grid; I have 59 words left to find
10:42 pm
Nef
(Of course, you know I'm pretty much the eternal optimist, especially once I get half way in Babble! ;-)
10:57 pm
rururocks
has someone been in your drawers ori?
10:58 pm
Nef
LOL! Good one ru; but I think she's gone for a while (I'm not positive though)
11:01 pm
rururocks
I should shelve my humor then :D
11:02 pm
Nef
Naw, go right ahead & pun all you want
11:10 pm
rururocks
I wonder if ori had a one-nightstand :D
11:13 pm
Nef
You got a groan from me on that one, ru! :-)
11:15 pm
rururocks
thank you :D
11:16 pm
Nef
YW. :-) (but just think: did you just tarnish ori's reputation here in Babble?
11:16 pm
rururocks
naw.. just kidding
11:17 pm
rururocks
ori's a tough cookie.. she can take my jokes in stride
11:17 pm
Nef
It was sparkling clean before tonight you know.
11:18 pm
Nef
We *all* have shiny bright reputations here; right?
11:18 pm
Nef
(I'm not very good at this, am I?)
11:21 pm
rururocks
ha.. nice try
11:22 pm
Nef
That's all I can do; give its try...
11:22 pm
Nef
(Even if I flop)
11:23 pm
rururocks
you just need to get a twisted mind like mine and it's easy from there
11:24 pm
Nef
My mind has had too many years of straight & narrow; however, if I work at it I should do better in a week or 2.
11:26 pm
rururocks
it's fun to let loose and let your hair down a bit isn't it?
11:26 pm
Nef
I've had some pretty wicked black humor in the past (my old nursing buddies back in ICU: sometimes if we didn't laugh; we might end up crying)
11:27 pm
Nef
Yeah, laughter doesn't hurt --- much ;-)
11:28 pm
rururocks
it helps me a lot in life
11:28 pm
Nef
I really have been too serious for a long time!
11:29 pm
rururocks
hmmm. .ok
11:31 pm
rururocks
I was hoping to hear from the new woman in my life tonight. but she's at the movies and may still be out at dinner or something
11:32 pm
Nef
Did you meet her through ori?
11:32 pm
rururocks
no.. my realtor introduced us.
11:33 pm
rururocks
I sent her flowers today a day early so that she could take them home from work to enjoy at home
11:33 pm
Nef
Ahh! That's a nice realtor! :-)
11:33 pm
rururocks
yeah.. she's been good to me :D
11:34 pm
Nef
Sold you a house & got you a lady friend to boot! Yes, I'd say she was nice to you!
11:35 pm
rururocks
she kept asking me again and again if I was interested in dating after my divorce and I kept telling her no that I wasn't ready
11:35 pm
Nef
(She didn't charge you for the lady friend, did she? ;-)
11:36 pm
rururocks
nope.. no commissions on that
11:36 pm
Nef
Sorry, the *Introduction* to a lady friend!
11:36 pm
rururocks
I did cook her dinner last weekend with a big group of people
11:36 pm
m9f9l
Uh oh.. the realtors supplied lady friends in Soylent Green.
11:36 pm
m9f9l
ROFL... you didn't cook the big group of people, right?
11:36 pm
Nef
LOL, m9! How are you tonight?
11:37 pm
m9f9l
Sorry. I have a sick sense of humor sometimes.
11:37 pm
m9f9l
I'm great!
11:38 pm
Nef
Well, the way *I* first said it; it sounded (to me at least) like the realtor was a pimp!
11:38 pm
m9f9l
I am very, VERY happy for you Ru!! What did you make for dinner?
11:40 pm
rururocks
lots of stuff m9.. we started with a crab, grapefruit, avocado and endive salad,,
11:40 pm
Nef
Oh Yes! What did you fix for supper that night? (I always think of you as being a gourmet cook)
11:40 pm
rururocks
then had tenderloins of beef with smoked mushrooms and carrots and asparagus with shallots and thyme
11:40 pm
m9f9l
Yum.. I love grapefruit and avocado together
11:40 pm
Nef
Sounds good for starters
11:40 pm
rururocks
then dessert was a vanilla bourbon crème brulee with raspberries
11:41 pm
m9f9l
What a great menu!
11:41 pm
rururocks
with great wine.. it came out great too
11:42 pm
rururocks
my new friend said she had a feeling I could cook, but didn't know I cooked that well
11:43 pm
Nef
I always teased my DH that the reason I married him was because he could cook! While we were dating, he made a meal for me that included stuff Corning Game Hens (with mushroom & walnuts & who knows what else in the stuffing)
11:43 pm
m9f9l
Nice. The way to a girl's heart.. <3
11:44 pm
Nef
I tried to make baked potatoes & steaks for him while dating --- & I blew up the oven!
11:45 pm
Nef
Yep! Growing up I had no interest in cooking but I always heard that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach; but it was the opposite with us.
11:47 pm
m9f9l
My Dad was the good cook too, and my Mom was terrible at cooking.
11:47 pm
Nef
We got married in our late 20's; he'd been through the Navy & was going to college on the GI bill. I was already an RN & I always ate my main meal of the day at the hospital.
11:48 pm
rururocks
my mom was a horrible cook
11:48 pm
Nef
SO, for the first 2 years of our marriage he did ALL the cooking.
11:48 pm
rururocks
I did most of the cooking for my brother and me
11:49 pm
rururocks
my parents were gone all the time gambling
11:49 pm
m9f9l
Wow Ru. You had to grow up early.
11:50 pm
Nef
I've learned through the years; now I do almost all of the cooking (even with our son living here. I still don't *enjoy* cooking; but I can whip up a decent meal in less than an hour without using packaged food.
11:50 pm
rururocks
sure..
11:50 pm
rururocks
I love to cook nef.. it's relaxation for me
11:50 pm
m9f9l
Good for you Nef!
11:51 pm
m9f9l
My married daughter has been doing most of our dinners. It's her way of giving back. I do two a week :-)
11:51 pm
Nef
Wow, ru, that's why you've said it was tough growing up.
11:52 pm
rururocks
oh.. you have no idea nef
11:53 pm
Nef
I once made a coffee cake that our neighbor couldn't even cut (It would have been a great door stop)
11:53 pm
rururocks
lol I suck at baking too nef
11:53 pm
rururocks
if you can't measure exactly.. baking should be avoided.. I just can't measure exactly
11:53 pm
Nef
Over the years you've said as much, ru. :-(
11:54 pm
m9f9l
It depends on the baking.
11:54 pm
Nef
LOL! I just don't use the oven anymore; if there's a way to avoid it: I do
11:55 pm
rururocks
i'm not whining.. it was just the way it was for my brother and me
11:55 pm
rururocks
I don't use the oven much either nef..
11:55 pm
Nef
YAY, m9!!!! WTG!!!
11:55 pm
m9f9l
Are you close with your brother?
11:55 pm
rururocks
not so much.. he's a little disfunctional
11:56 pm
rururocks
good timing to finish m9
11:56 pm
Nef
that's too bad about your brother, ru.
11:56 pm
m9f9l
That's too bad.
11:57 pm
m9f9l
Good for you for making it through.
11:57 pm
rururocks
yeah.. it is.. he had a lot of potential and pissed it all away
11:58 pm
m9f9l
My sister says that she always thought we were such a dysfunctional family, and then she grew older and got to know more people and saw some very dysfunctional folks and now she says we were quasi-dysfunctional. LOL
11:59 pm
Nef
I hear you, ru. I have a brother like that too. He had so much potential, 20 yrs in Navy Reserves, had a business & blew it all away with drinking
