Monday, August 14, 2023 The shrimp was excellent, but why do they leaves the tails on? The poached egg was perfectly done. The grits were so perfectly ground, and seasoned and cooked perfectly. The bacon was just right (just right!!) and so bountiful (that is so much bacon! Is it too much bacon? No – […]
Sunday, August 13, 2023 There is a virtual queue that you have to try to get into by mashing a button on your phone exactly at 7am. They give a group number and you show up during the day when they call your group. Keith got us in group 2, which takes a lot of
Saturday, August 12, 2023 Today is the day we made our first return to Walt Disney World since March of 2020. We took a Lyft from the airport directly to our hotel, the Boardwalk, since the wonderful Magic Express (Disney’s included-with-your-hotel-stay transportation) ended some time since we’ve been here.

Tuesday, August 8, 2023 I had no idea what this musical was about. It had music by Alanis Morisette, a name I know, but whose music is unfamiliar. There were warnings about drug usage and sex violence. I wasn’t too excited about it, to be honest. I really liked it. It was very funny. And

Monday, August 7, 2023 We didn’t see the super popular movies as a double feature, but we have now seen them both. I don’t think my brain was working quite right when I saw Barbie. I thought it was visually adorable, but the story confused me and I wasn’t sure if I like it or
Sunday, August 6, 2023 We got together with members of the Mississippi River Brass Band today. MRBB (yes, I call it Mr. BB) is planning a trip to France next July. The leader of the group told us all about the planned itinerary and I am ready to pack my bags. Everyone voted to not

Saturday, August 5, 2023 Our small neighbor is starting to learn to play the trumpet. She came over a couple of weeks ago because she had not had success at the “try an instrument” day at school. She wasn’t able to buzz on the mouthpiece on her first try, so she came for advice. Keith
