So, to backtrack a bit…
Originally, on our way to see Yehaa Bob Thursday evenin’, Carolyn wanted to make a side trip to POFQ to get beignets for Emmy and Audrey to have for breakfast Friday mornin’. We were runnin’ late for that, and even though we could have taken a boat between the 2 sister resorts, ya’ never know when the next one is comin’ that might backtrack to POR. I finally convinced her to “Let it Go!!!”…!!!!!
As it was, we stopped at 3 bus stops at POR before we finally got to the stop at the lobby, with about 5 mins. to spare (Yehaa Bob was comin’ out at 8:30, but, if ya’ don’t get there by about 7:30, ya’ might not get a seat at one of the tables up front.
Anyway, the next mornin’ Carolyn was still bent on gettin’ up early and headin’ to POFQ to get those darn beignets…!!!!!
Matt and I went with her. We were gonna’ take a bus to AK, then another bus to POFQ. At least that was the plan. When Megan heard from Sarah what we were doin’, she called Carolyn off…!!!!!
“The girls don’t need beignets that bad. Get back here and let’s go get some breakfast!”…!!!!!

The bus that initially took us on our abandoned “Mission: Beignet”…!!!!!



We met up at The Mara for some breakfast, and it was pretty good…I had a ham, egg, and cheese croissant, with nicely seasoned tater tots (like you don’t like “ressies”, and other stuff, I don’t like “potato barrels”, @wdisney9000 )…!!!!!



We explored the resort a bit after that, and it was beautiful…!!!!!



Then, pool time again…!!!
And a CM was makin’ what I can only describe as pool safety Mickey’s…!!!!!

Then, a little bit more fun around the resort, before we headed to Disney Springs again…!!!

FTFY, you probably had to look up that foreign word. I wouldn’t think some not even born yet would know what that was. Reminds me of a girl Ellen brought onstage on her show. Ellen told the girl to dial a number on a rotary phone. The girl dialed the number then picked up the receiver put it next to her ear and said hello.

Speaking of research/information…
Back in the day (we were still in No Cal), my folks bought a brand-spankin’ new set of 1975 The World Book Encyclopedia. I read those books for hours, I loved them so much…!!!
Funny thing is, the whole volume was obsolete the second it went to print…!!!!!
We/I used them through HS for research papers and such. I remember using them for an oral report in drafting class regarding architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Unfortunately, that set didn’t make it through the fire. They didn’t burn actually, but, were destroyed by all the water from the fire hoses.

Sad you lost it on the fire.
I loved those books and would waste a ton of time watching them.
Specially if it had pictures!

reminds me of the for kids encyclopaedia with pictures using the character PROTEUS

turns out it was a Mexican scientific encyclopaedia for kids http://proteofuerza10.blogspot.com/

I actually do know how to use a rotary phone. They used to have them sitting out at Prime Time, so my parents showed me how. I totally would have passed that test being on Ellen.

I love the matching pool ensembles that the girls are wearing! So CUTE!! (The swim shirts are a great idea, to keep them from getting sunburned. Caps are practical as well.)

I am still alive also despite I had to deal with back in the 80s. I had Chickenpox in the 1980s with it being over 100 degrees outside at the time and I ended up in the hospital. Parents house at the time had fans and box fans. Lets say having chicken pox in over 100 degree weather is not something you want to deal with.

There was not such a thing as a chickenpox vaccine in the 80s.

It was introduced in 1981 so it was available for most of the 80's. I think one of the things that most angered me about our recent folly of "no vaccines" is that at least one generation from mine are now free of the things that I had to endure during my childhood. I had them all Chicken Pox, Measles, Mumps and as a young boy the biggest fear we had that was immediately stopped by vaccine was polio. That one also required frequent booster shots or oral until it was just about completely eliminated world wide. Long before the vaccine was created we had been constantly bombarded with pictures of kids, our age, in iron lungs. Many deaths and so many left crippled. When the vaccine came out no one had to be pleaded with to get it.

I just had my 6th covid shot two days ago. Like everyone of the previous ones I had no side effects other that the first one and that was just a mild elevated temperature and chills lasting an unbearable (sarcasm) 45 minutes. After that first one... nothing! My children's generation are the ones that are primarily the anti-vax people. Why? I suspect it is because they have never had those other illnesses like I had because we got them vaccinated and now they think that they are quite healthy due to their own natural immune system which is apparently far advanced over those that get sick.

Natural Immune systems are now being overridden by antiseptic everything. Everyone's immune system needs a little help now and then, just allow it to have the exposure to other things and build that immunity. We were born with a natural immune system, but it doesn't work until it is exposed to something we need to get immune from. Sort of like buying a new car. It was born with a gas tank, but it doesn't have anything to work with until you put gas in it.

Sounds a lot like anything sold in an Apple Store! And, sadly, also the reason why the original EPCOT Ctr. no longer is in existence except in ghost form.

The chicken pox vaccine wasn't available until 1995.

That was a different variation. My kids all had those shots when they were young, but 1995 they were in their 20's.

Guess who has been up since 6 yesterday morning. I took like a 30 minute or less nap on the plane. The food wasn't that bad either. I mean it wasn't amazing but it wasn't awful. The plane was 45 minutes early but plane traffic where the pilot had to go around in circles so only 30 minutes early.
