WANT.

The white bottom with the colored top looks great. Fresh. Is the bottom of the wall styling commonly called "chair rail? "

These are incredible!! Do you have an IG account that I can follow? Not a stalker I swear ..I like following accounts with pretty/interesting photos.

The hummingbird shots were amazing!!

Where was this one taken?

Not too sure what IG means to be honest..
But that one was taken in the famous "Prismas Basalticos de Huesca".

It has some amazing colonial areas and "magical towns" (towns that are kept as close as possible as they were).
You need to go to PACHUCA, which is a kinda big town which was one of the main Miner centers of Mexico (still surrounded by some active mines, but most of them are inactive and converted into museums)

Whiting Pachuca you can go to a lot of Magical Towns, Miner towns, Touristic Mines with guides, Tons of Colonial stuff AND Aztec, and other old cultures centers too.

Next to the Prismas Basalticos is an old Hacienda for gold and silver, with a lot of history, tragedy and even ghosts. (I had posted a mini Trip Report a year or so ago).

The actual name is wainscoting . The protruding rail on the top of the white is a chair rail.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

I don't think I can name all 21. Mickey of course, Daffy, Fred Flintstone, Sponge Bob, Roadrunner, Yogi Bear, Charlie Brown, Bugs Bunny, Goofy, Dexter, Snoopy, Mojo JoJo, Pink Panther, Betty Boop, Arnold, Tasmanian Devil.

There's also two of the Simpsons in there (the mom and the kid; the only Simpson I ever remember is Homer), Mrs. Fred Flinstone (Whatever her name is) and Stewie from Family Guy. It's taken me all day, but I finally remembered his name. And that Crab from Sponge Bob whose name I also don't remember.

Just received notification that 2 more games are added to the season, although just friendlies. I’m excited, these should help the team a lot.



Next weekend is a minimum of 3 games, 1st tournament, and first time the majority of these boys will play together as a team.

Here we go! I have to figure out something special for tomorrow before the craziness starts. .. but we are both excited for T to be back on the pitch!!

Were you at a specialty restaurant, or does that line serve lobster in the MDR?

Don’t forget the rest of the gang...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Nope, they do not serve lobster every night, but, that was lobster night. And then there was filet night. We had the same dining room for every night, with the same staff, and it was wonderful...!!!!!
However, for a $20 surcharge, you can get lobster, filets, etc., every night if you wanted.
It didn’t Matter to us, as the menus for the night we’re always still AWESOME, as you’ll see...!!!!!
