My Fav

Shake -
I love the new blueberry pomegranate shake from McDonald's. I first had it when it came out I think last month with a promo price of only a dollar. From then, it became my summer favorite drink. I had one last Sunday and another one just now.

Lake Party

Yesterday we celebrated another birthday in the family. It was the second grandson's birthday celebration. He turned 5 years old last Friday and his birthday party was done at the lakes. Every year his birthday kicks off our summer fun in the sun and water activities.

Summer officially started last June 21st. Maybe a lot of people was so excited to enjoy the outdoor and the summer that the lake got packed so early. Some of our family members arrived early at the lake to reserve the spot but when we got there around 11:00 a.m. the parking was already full. The park attendant let us park far from the beach area so we have to walk with all our bags and umbrellas. I was lucky to be wearing one comfort shoes for women. The rocky and hilly terrain we have to pass through to get to the lake did not bother my feet at all. I got a good tan before we reach the picnic area from the scorching heat of the sun. Just after we unloaded our stuffs from our backs and set up our beach chairs and umbrellas, we went right away to the water until our stomach was calling us for food and drinks. Everybody has so much fun especially the kids who do not want to leave the lake.

Food For Father's Day

Father's Day was celebrated starting on a Friday up to Sunday. The first two nights, we had it in the restaurant.  Just the three of us dine out on Friday night then with the kids and grandkids on Saturday night. Sunday, we just hang out in our house with everybody again and had bountiful seafood for dinner. It was a beautiful celebration for the whole family.

Third Day to be Home

I have been staying home for the third day because our daughter is still sick. I know I have been wanting days off but this is not the kind I want to – staying home with a sick daughter. I'd rather be at work and she is in school than her being sick and staying home with me. I hope she gets better soon.

While being home, I was able to do some online search about hotel bar supplies and hotel supply online. This is for a friend of mine who is planning to do a hotel and restaurant business. I found everything on Peach Suite, an Atlanta Hotel supply which carries everything a hospitality business needs, from equipment to supplies, uniforms and furniture. Free shipping is available for qualifying purchases over $500. You can check all the photos and prices of your purchases at Peach Suite website. This is a one-stop shop for all hotel needs.

I have been emailing my friend about all the supplies they need. I am waiting for a reply and we can start ordering online.

The Noise is Too Much

When we first moved to this condominium where we are staying right now, there was no problem at all. We liked it because it is not the high rise building but only three stories high and we are in the first floor. This means we have a neighbor downstairs and another on the upper floor. The couple upstairs are newlyweds and we barely hear any noise. They both work in the medical field. If I am not mistaken their work schedules are during night time.

Let us fast forward to four years later.  The situation with our upstairs neighbor is different now. More people started to live with them and the noise has become unbearable especially during unholy hours that you want to get some sleep. The building needs Durisol insulating concrete forms in its walls to absorb all the sound coming from the outside. We have approached them at one point about the noise but I think they just keep on forgetting or ignoring. The weekends are the worst since they always have late night visitors on Fridays. I am just praying that one day. I will get used to the noise and do not mind them at all but if you are already at the stage where you want peace and quiet when you get home, it is difficult.

A Party Planner Helper

One Saturday, the step daughter invited Isabella to come with her to a birthday party. She did not mention that she was the one who was preparing for the party. When Isabella got to her house, the step daughter has some things to finish up for the party and Isabella right away volunteered to help her. My daughter loves doing arts and crafts too and that's something they have in common. Here is the picture the step daughter took. She said Isabella did the whole bunch of flowers for the center table. Came out pretty nice, right?
