Don't Forget Your Diapers

I went to Sam’s Club today where I saw this. Not one, but THREE errors. I almost peed my pants. Get it? Peed my pants?



It was next to the photo lab. I almost stopped at “steal,” but I continued reading and BURST out laughing. I told the photo gal “Read that.” She reads and says “Isn’t it supposed to be ‘inconvenience?’” I said “Yes, but do you know what ‘incontinence’ means?” Shake of the head. I tell her. She bangs her head on the counter and her shoulders shake with laughter. She tells a co-worker that “so & so” messed up the note. Later I hear on the overhead paging system “So & So to photo lab please.”

Daytripping in Florida

Sunday we left in the morning for a trip to the northeastern coast of Florida. St. Augustine, Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach and Jacksonville.

We drove and drove and drove. We stopped off to look at the ocean. We stopped at Whataburger for lunch. We took our car on a ferry ride. We saw gorgeous homes on Amelia Island. We stopped at Ft. Clinch State Park and went into the Fort after a torrential downpour (and I got a lame patch - lol). We wanted to shop the beautiful Fernandina Beach downtown area but the rains started back up again. We drove home, stopping at Cracker Barrel for dinner. We arrived home, tired but pleased with our trip, at 8:30 p.m.

Princess Tea Party

Isabel was invited to a Princess Tea Party, which she attended this weekend. Isabel wanted to be Snow White. No, Cinderella. No wait, Snow White.




Cinderella won out. I wish she had picked Snow White. There were zero Snow Whites and five Cinderellas at the party, plus a couple of Sleeping Beauties, two purple princesses and more. :)

The party was for a Pre-K classmate and was held at the Boston Coffee House. We love the Boston Coffee House, always visiting the one in Orange City. We had no idea there was one in Deland. It was a comfy place right in downtown Deland. They converted the back two rooms into a tea party for the girls, who all had to dress up as a Princess.



The lounge was set up for the girls' tea,



while this side room, above, was set up for the adults. There was an open window in between the rooms. The Boston Coffee House had an assortment of sandwiches, cold salads, fruit trays, water and coffee set up for the adults. It was a delicious spread.


The girls were served tea, then were giving grilled cheese (shaped like hearts, how cute!) or PB&J sandwiches and chips.



The girls had such a good time (giggles and squeals do not lie), as did I, talking to moms and dads. The staff was so nice and attentive, the food was great, and the grandparents of the little girl having the party were so appreciative of everyone being there for their little girl's day. It made my day seeing how happy they were with the party and how happy their granddaughter was. Happy Happens, you know. :)




Maybe next year, we'll have a party here too!


My Insurance Company Need Not Worry

I won't be changing car insurance agencies any time soon, even IF new companies make promises about their rates.
(Doesn't someone have to proof these before the sign company does the lettering? This means that not one but at least two people thought this was correct.)
