So @Cesar R M and @StarWarsGirl, I need your advice. Our laptop is seriously trying to load Windows 10 and I don't how to stop it or if I should just let it go through. What is your experience with 10? Is it better than 7? If it still has bugs, how do we stop it from loading?

Not gone...we've left for vacation. We're at my in-laws' for tonight and we fly out tomorrow. It still hurts. But maybe by the time we reach our Disney portion of the vacation it will be gone.

Safe travels!

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't care for the Despicable Me movies or the minions. I don't know, they just don't do anything for me, but I guess a lot of people love them considering how much money those movies make.

I never watched the Despicable Me movies, I did like the minions. I think it was because it was something new. Don't know if I would watch another.

We were gonna' go play Peter Pan Mini-Golf, just down the road (an Austin institution since 1946), but, by the time we finished dinner it was gettin' kinda' late, so we decided to save that for tomorrow...!

Oh my.
Hahaaa...! about the fast passes...!!!
Sorry, still so far behind. Hope you are OK by now...?!

Wow, you really knew how to eat well! I wish I lived in your area, that Elvis Presley special looked fantastic! Have fun mini-golfing if you go today. And Yes, I am feeling better. The day after my fall I was home and rested. The dog was very concerned about it though and tried to keep licking it.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Prayers and thoughts to you and your family today @StarWarsGirl .

 

[betty rose]

Thanks. I was going to start doing another theme then thought...nah. I like sunsets.

Me too, but I like all of your pictures, and love following the countdown pictures too.

 

[betty rose]

I will have gotten 6 trips out of this pass, hubby 5. It definitely made the pass "cheaper".



Maybe we will do a matinee, hubby talked about seeing it at night. The matinee would at least make it cheaper.

We went to the cheaper price movie too. It was 5.49$.

Have fun, and may you get to Disney safely.

Your dinner looks super

 

[betty rose]

You just brought back so many awesome memories of my backpacking days!
I've slept out under the stars at 10,000+ feet before...at that altitude you understand why the Milkey Way is called the Milkey Way...!

I'm glad I could assist!

 

[betty rose]

I think I missed which movie it is?

The Secret Life of Pets.

 

[betty rose]

Yeah...mine feels like...I guess like I've gotten superglue on it. It just feels weird. But I have a question for you, it still hurts when I bump it...does that go away?

My thumb is numb, where I cut it. I had pain at first, but mine went away. It takes some time, though.

Warning doughnut story ahead....

About a year ago I started a tradition with my dog that we would go to the town south of us (I live in a tiny speck of a town) to the the grocery store and we would get coffee for me and doughnuts for both of us. Anyway, around mid-March the grocery store we would go to changed their bakery and stopped making the doughnuts in house as the store had been bought by a bigger company and started trucking in doughnuts. They just weren't as good. A lot of people in our area noticed the change and were upset.

So we stopped going to that grocery store and started going to a store across town that still had an in store bakery. The doughnuts there were great and had a lot of variety (including pecans on a chocolate doughnut and cronuts stuffed with whipped cream). Anyway, today comes for coffee and doughnuts and I found out that this "new" place is undergoing bakery renovations so dog, hubby and I go to the old grocery store and get the junky doughnuts. Well, to our surprise the good doughnuts were back, and being made in house. There was even a sign that said "back by popular demand." So I guess a lot of people must have complained and stopped buying the doughnuts. It is nice that the store managers paid attention to their customers and made adjustments. However, I have a problem now. Next Saturday which store should I go too?!? What a problem huh!? I guess we might have to alternate stores now.

Here are the doughnuts we saved for tomorrow. The one that is only half there is the dog's doughnut.

Thank you but those necklaces are so cute! I'm going to wear my silver heart necklace with a crystal hidden Mickey my boys got me back in 2008(I think my dh paid for it because that was when he still covered for them)

The necklace sounds so pretty. I hope you are getting some good stuff and the Farmer's Market today. And lots of canned tomato's.

 

[betty rose]

@StarWarsGirl , I'm thinking of you and your family today.

Me too. I hope all goes well. @StarWarsGirl.

I love dogs, they just know when you need extra attention. I'm glad you are doing better!

 

[betty rose]

This is out of your league. (He's got you and @Gabe1 bamboozled into thinking he's a little sweetie. ) He's nothing but a con artist. Slippery Jack is what we call him . . .

I love sneaky dogs, gives them lots of personality.

I can't see any problem. Go to both stores each week, and buy freshly-baked donuts from both!
