Clothing store closer time, again.
And, time to attempt some ketchup...

And the last, I love the ocean and boats too. I painted this listening to "sailing". I always painted with music on, and pretty good volume...depending on the subject. View attachment 118442

Very nice paintings! I'm a little jealous of your talent, I would love to paint or draw but I can barely draw a stick person.

 

[donaldtoo]

True. But what's life without a little danger? No guts, no glory!

Anyone heading to Disney the Boston Cream Pie cupcake has landed at the QS Contempo at the Contemporary Resort.

Sadly the swirled cone cup cake bit the dust but I'm sure that one will resurface elsewhere.

I saw a picture of the Boston Cream cupcake, if I make it to the Contemporary this weekend I will try it and report back.

And on Friday I will be at WDW! My husband still doesn't know yet! I have decided to tell him on Wednesday night. I had a scare though on Friday as Delta sent out a email to both me and my husband about our upcoming trip to Orlando! Luckily I broke into his email and deleted it before he saw it.

Whew!
That was a close one...!
So excited for y'all...!

Ha ha ha! Hey, have you ever watched that show on TLC? I find those episodes fascinating in a weird sort of way. On the one hand, I'm amazed by how they manipulate all those coupons and end up paying only peanuts for the items they stuffed their supermarket carriages with. On the other hand, a number of those people are just hoarders with basements full of shelves stacked with things like 200 bottles of soap, for example. Who in heck would go through 200 bottles of soap??

I'm a huge Pixar fan, but I didn't really care for Cars 2 or Monsters University. I don't think they should do sequels.

I agree some sequels aren't so great, Cars 2 was horrible. Monster's U wasn't too bad, the Toy Story sequels are all pretty good though.

If I make it to the Contemporary....there is a lot of food at Epcot to be eating first!

I haven't made turkey meatloaf on its own, but I have used it with beef and it is good. I often make turkey meatballs for spaghetti and they are yummy, especially if I buy the Italian seasoned turkey. I haven't ever used bison in meatloaf as it is kind of pricey at my grocery store. I wish it was a little less expensive because it tastes good and is a lot lower in fat.

Pretty sure all DWifey uses in her turkey meatloaf recipe is only ground turkey for the meat.
Later, when I get home, I'll get some more details from her. All I know, is it's always plenty moist and darn tasty...!
I too like bison. When we were at WCC for dinner on our June of '13 trip I had the bison meatloaf, and it was really good. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing on the menu anymore.

Hahaaa...!
Yes I have, actually. DWifey will watch it from time to time. Pretty over-the-top.

Oh, by all means, take your time. Eat at Epcot first, and then swing by the Contemporary for a cupcake! Sometimes, too, they will have have similar desserts in the parks--just keep your eyes open. Even at The Land (downstairs in the QS area) there is a small bakery section, and they often have some delicious different kinds of cupcakes. I'd also see some awesome cupcakes over in DHS in Starring Rolls Cafe, not far from the Brown Derby. Here's a photo of just one of their yummy cupcakes:

That's one of my favorite movies.

Mine too!

I've never seen any of the Rocky movies. Although I've seen part of the first one - just couldn't get into it.

Ditto.

We had our first hard frost this morning. I know what is coming next! The snow blower is all really for duty and the snow chains have been repaired and are now on the tractor. I figure if I'm all ready for snow, then maybe we won't get any for a while longer!

We had a layer of frost this morning. I'm not ready for that carp.

Maybe this little song will cheer you up; let's sing it together:

Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale, they say
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic
In that old silk they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Hahaaa...!
Yes, it is indeed.
The smaller one is regular-sized.

I have been fighting this darn cold for over a week but then this afternoon, I just fell asleep without much warning and slept for like 4 hours and am finally starting to feel a lot better. I had tried to rest all week but had trouble sleeping because I can't sleep very well when I'm all stuffed up. The body knows what it needs!

So glad you're finally feeling better...!
