BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! As it's just over 50 I'm surprised my yard doesn't look like that! It's July? I'm not sure about having the proper page of my calendar out! It has a kitty in beach wear!

I'm out for the night. I need more sleep !

I hope you're having sweet dreams

 

[Figgy1]

Awww . . . your little guy is so sweet!

Thank you cute yes, sweet it depends on what day it is. If he decides he doesn't like engineering, he'd made a good lawyer, he can argue any point. He also my chief assistant planner.

Shoe shopping can be frustrating because I don't think many of the shoe companies produce carefully made shoes, as they did in the past. I find now that if I have a measured shoe size, I still end up with different sizes depending upon the shoe company. Drives me crazy!!

As you said, unless you can try it on first, it makes it difficult to order online. Sometimes when I order online, I'll order two sizes, just to make sure my feet fit correctly in one of them, and then return the other pair.

I have wound up with different sizes from the same company I don't like to order shoes or clothing online! I have enough problems getting things to fir properly even when trying things on.

Unless I know the brand I usually order a couple sizes whether it be shoes or clothes. That is why when I find something I like and it fits well I usually buy it in multiple colors.

For certain items (Comfy footwear) not only a couple of colors but sometimes more than one of the same color.

Ah yes, they're on the "all-you-can-fit-into-your-belly" (and then some) dining plan!

I've found that can be a good think with young gentlemen! We're planning a few of those next year.

I haven't finished sharing my London photos so if it is okay I will share some more today and probably finish up tomorrow.

The Tower Bridge

The Tower of London, it was an awesome place to visit. It was fascinating to see the crown jewels (no pictures allowed in there). I could see myself in those jewels!

Just what I picture when I think of London

Our double decker tour guide told us this little park helped inspire some of Mary Poppins, I don't know if that is true but I could picture Bert doing some chalk drawings out front.

Speaking of Mary Poppins...here is St. Paul's Cathedral. It was amazing inside (no pictures allowed in there either). Feed the Birds kept going through my head though!

Westminster Abby (again also gorgeous on the inside and no pictures allowed). At one point while touring I imagined I was Kate marching down the aisle (yep I'm a nerd). We also went back for the Evensong worship service, listening to the choir while looking at the amazing artwork around me just leaves me speechless.

We also toured Winston Chuchill's War Room, underground bunkers, it is amazing to think that people spent so much of WWII down there living and planning out the war. This is one of the meeting rooms.

I'm sure many of you have a picture of these from Epcot.

Thank you for sharing, I'm loving your TR. But I almost spit my coffee as I have sooooo many phone booth pics with my boys!

 

[Figgy1]

Oh, and just had to share this video of cute rhinos! Then off to bed. We still have 6 more days!

THNX for sharing. Have a most magical 6 days!

 

[Figgy1]

I may very well be.
But, I'll take my hot crazy over your cold crazy, any day of the week...!!!

ME TOO!!!!!!

 

[MinnieM123]

Woot! I'd like these.

WANT.

 

[Figgy1]

Woot! I'd like these.

I really want those! Now I have to think of a new excuse for needing footwear!

 

[Figgy1]

Good morning @MinnieM123 Did you enjoy the cold last night?

 

[MinnieM123]

@ajrwdwgirl , more outstanding photos! What surprised me the most was that it looked sunny in London! I know that London is noted for its fog and rain, so it looks like you lucked out with the weather! I really enjoyed your references to Mary Poppins with some of the locations; that was the icing on the cake to your very interesting London pictures.

Good morning @MinnieM123 Did you enjoy the cold last night?

Greetings to you, too. Leave it to @Gabe1 to post the Minnie sneakers that you and I both want, and don't have! Then again, she doesn't have a pair either, come to think of it.

I went through some various Disney stores back in May at the parks and Downtown (D. Springs), but I don't remember seeing those. Hope they don't make them just for kids.

 

[MinnieM123]

@figmentfan423 , yes I very much enjoyed the cooler weather last night. It's very pleasant out this morning--all the humidity is gone!!

The temperature right now at 5:09 AM is a GLORIOUS 61 degrees!

Me either, but I really need a good excuse. After having to replace all my clothes this year extras are going to be far and few between.

Thank you. That's very considerate of you!

You're the yin to my yang (or is that yang to my yin?) for weather

I will be doing almost the exact same tour in a few weeks. Now I don't have to take pictures - I can steal yours.
