2:02 am
sprite

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
sprite

will ask ruby. She might know best
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

so long as you are quite sure, honey. we'll talk it over during our stay in Amsterdam. xoxox
2:25 am
sprite

all good :)
2:26 am
sprite

so excited it is really gonna happen!
2:28 am
grannyrose

btw, i slept over 12 hours last night, and don was close to that. honey, my ugly dreams se4 to have stopped since we bought the tickets.
2:29 am
sprite

isn't that something awesome
2:29 am
sprite

hm, must confer with Rob... it is his birthday, June 16.
2:29 am
grannyrose

don has been researching everything on-line. he is excited too.
2:30 am
sprite

:D it is gonna be so much fun!
2:30 am
grannyrose

we'll celebrate it with him the day before... lolll, last man standing pays the bar bill.
2:30 am
sprite

roflolllll
2:31 am
sprite

knowing Rob, it won't be any problem. He doesn't care much for birthdays and such.
2:31 am
grannyrose

awww, dinner for everyone will be on me. tell him to pick the ultimate restaurant please.
2:33 am
grannyrose

make sure the food is his absolute favourite, right?
2:33 am
sprite

ohhhh cool! We have this terrific tapaz restaurant... mix of spanish, mexican and others... fusion? Great people, lovely menus, great chef.
2:33 am
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

just remember this trip is going to be one to tick off my bucket list..
2:37 am
grannyrose

and tell Rob.... no backing out... lolll
2:38 am
sprite

:D
2:38 am
grannyrose

(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

ok
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!
11:34 pm
rururocks

lol
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
m9f9l

Wow!!
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
11:41 pm
Nef

YUM!!!
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.
11:45 pm
m9f9l

Oh my!
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

fw
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
