I need to go and get a Dug

@betty rose sent to me by the DS girlfriend. 6 in their group
Your group is big enough you guys should consider trying this sometime. Not sure it would be large enough for @figmentfan423 group.

The secret menu item. (nod to Starbuck's I guess )
Pecos Bill Nacho Rio Grande Challenge

I would work as an appetizer, I may even get some, maybe

Walked out the door and he was there to greet me. So isn't afraid of humans

My mind went to the frog Choir

Did the facet need replacing?

I guess so it was wrapped with duck tape to fix a slow leak

Nope, they do not want to encourage drinking from fountains.

I'm one of those people that has a thing about water that isn't filtered and I tried but I can't do Disney drinking fountains. The rooms faucets are filtered. When we moved to our little Hamlet I spent tons of money trying to fix the taste of our well water too. Never worked. Even my coffee tasted funky so I bought bottled water to drink and cook with and of course my coffee.

I know everyone's taste buds are different and I just couldn't get accustomed to their fountains even masking with the powder flavors. Over the past couple years we have found Disney has put some water vats around the resorts and parks. I swear there should be a thread for where they are spotted. Example our POR lobby had one, never did before and SciFi at Studios had one as you walked in the door. But having cases delivered to the room for $12 for 2 worked perfect for us.

We have well water that goes through a series of 3 different filters I can use it for cooking and coffee but not for tea or drinking out of the faucet. The guys have no problem with it all being raised on well water.

Sunrise for @MinnieM123

Good morning today begins the last full week of full days of school. I hope my dh can put any underfoot projects off until next week because I need this week to myself

New but not shiny. It's brushed steel so it won't show finger prints.

Sounds like like a challenge.

Sounds like like a challenge.

My boys seem to think so

Cool Quiz. I got the Tramp. Then I took it a second time with my second choice options and got Percy. I think I will stick with the Tramp. My old dog Henry kind of looked like the Tramp.

And take a look at that slide.

Well that isn't dangerous.

It looks like fun though. The hanging things look like the old Disney skyway buckets a little.

Today since there is no school (yay for summer break!) my goal is to clean and organize the kitchen and maybe the downstairs bathroom. The dog, hubs and I already took a walk and now I'm just enjoying my morning coffee on the porch before getting started for the day. I'm actually looking forward to cleaning.

My kitchen got some unexpected cleaning yesterday when I discovered ants in the kitchen garbage. I never have ants in the kitchen garbage. After a few hours of scrubbing, and mopping, and cleaning everything in sight, my husband and I traced our steps. The culprit has been the bird/conure's food. When we took the conure from our grandson, he showed us what type of food we should buy. The one type looks like dehydrated fruit, and nuts. It's obviously very sugary, and the ants just love it. I told my husband not to deposit any pet food in the kitchen garbage. Definitely not paper towels either that he uses to clean up bird poop. The conure is going to have to be happy with peanuts, and the other, totally dry, conure food. We are also definitely considering calling in an exterminator to rid this house of ants permanently. Having ants in my house makes me feel like quite the slob, and I am definitely not that. I have never cleaned, and vacuumed so much since we got these birds.

Hello everyone. Please bear with me. I thought that I would just update you guys on our precious Chloe. We had to make the gut-wrenching decision to put her down last Thursday. She was not responding to the iv fluids or eating or drinking water. She just wasn't the same kitty as she had once been. Her kidney disease finally got her. I will spare you the details because it is very hard for me to sit here and type them. She pretty much gave up and knew it was time to leave us. We brought her back home and DH buried her in our woods under a birdbath since she loved birds.
This has been one of the most difficult decisions and times in our lives. If you own a pet, you know what I mean. Our lives will be constantly changed. DH has a hard time walking past "her" room without breaking down. I figured out that we haven't been by ourselves since 1985 when our DD was born. It feels really surreal to me. Too quiet. We will get another cat in the future, but not right now.
A big thank you and hug from me and Bob to the following: @Mr Ferret 88 , @figmentfan423, @betty rose, @Songbird76, @ajrwdwgirl, @MinnieM123, and @StarWarsGirl !!! Without your thoughts and support, we could not make it through this time.
I will be back sometime soon to put up a TR about our trip. I picked up a bad cold and cough while there, so still trying to get over it.
Thanks guys!! Love you so much!

EEEKKKK It didn't take ever take us 18 hours and we got stuck in traffic in Va. last trip. Do you make a lot of stops?

On the way back from WDW, we stop for an hour for lunch and then again at dinner. For SC, we stop for lunch. We've never driven straight down to WDW; we would drive down after Hilton Head usually. We then drive home from WDW.

One year, we went to Hilton Head on December 24. Big mistake. We left at 5 am and didn't get there until 8 pm.
