Ended up going with Peet's based on what @MinnieM123 said. One of my friends says Starbucks tends to burn their coffee beans, so not sure if that would be the case with their store ones (she said it didn't happen when we were in DL, though, so idk) I'm not a coffee drinker, so I have no idea. I think it's all gross.

I was thinking the same that it is probably my favorite remake so far. I did like Cinderella a lot but Aladdin I think has it beat with the visuals and music. I liked Jasmine's "Speechless" song a lot too.

Speechless was my fav!

Just may have been on Resorttv1 livestream on Youtube. Said hi to them as they passed us in Germany. @nelsonj3

That's awesome! Thanks for saying hi! Hope you had a great night at Epcot!

When your cat is named Jasmine this comes across very differently for a minute there...

Waving at @93boomer and @Goofyernmost . We left the parking lot at MK at 11:45am. It took 45 minutes to get from MK to our car. Ridiculous.

It was a nice last night for our trip. My kids were excited after they saw you guys. They rewound the livestream to catch us. My 11 tear old said “aww, I wasn’t smiling. “ My 8 year old grinned all the way out of the park. You made her night, not that she wasn’t having fun. It was just the cherry on top of her sundae.

Dumbo is not my first pick to see, but MIL really wants to see it, and I promised her we would go when it go to the cheapo theatre.

I had no urge to see Dumbo. On a completely different subject, what beach in FL did you go to last year?

My DD is starting to look at her choices to decorate her cap for her Masters degree graduation.

She showed me this one tonight with the Belle Bow.



I am so proud of her. She worked from the time she was 15 and while she earning her bachelors. Now While having a full time career at a University she is studying her Tushie off to earn a degree in Computer Science Engineering. Because she has mastered Python 3 and Machine Learning she has firms contacting her but she wants to finish her degree before leaping while finishing her masters. Hard choices. Still she is also working administratively for the water park this summer has for 12 years. Building a solid resume. She stuck with that to
Pay for her masters. Where there is ambition there is a way if you are determined.

When she earns her masters she will be also certified to teach at an University Level so should the economy ever tank she will have real career, solid choices.

Here motto is Woman can walk and chew gum at the same time. Gotta love her.

And, on the trip back to Austin we, of course, had to make another stop here...!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun dinner out tonite. Harry would be disappointed with me. It is only a glass of wine.

 

[Gabe1]

But a dessert today



Real whip cream. Bananas, banana pudding along with caramel drizzle layered with vanilla wafers.

Yum.

@donaldtoo I recorded the most bizarre stuff on TCM last night!

Don’t know why, but first up: Santa Claus.

Made in Mexico in 1959 and dubbed into English. The opening scene is basically Santa in the middle of a living It’s A Small World display. He gets some help from Merlin the Wizard (!) and then battles with the devil (in the cheesiest devil costume) over children for most of the movie. So bad, but so riveting!

Next up: “Santa Conquers The Martians.” (1964.) Apparently not related - American actors, including Pia Zadora. Saving that one for tonight.

I don’t think I can delete the first one until I show it to everyone I know lol!!

Bummer, as I missed all a’ that...!!!!!
Sounds like a hoot-and-a-half, though...!!!!!!!
I’ll hafta’ see if I can find ‘em on YouTube, and thanks for the heads up...!!!!!
