They were supposed to open one in long wood or altamonte springs in Orlando but haven’t seen them yet . They are so good !
Yep. We'll hit one of the ones near us every now and then for banana splits for dinner.

Would your family consider adopting me? I can cook, and I like to cut grass, or shovel sand. Whatever you guys do out there

Yes, originally but he got busted making a bribe trying to open a casino in Florida. The NFL said he couldn’t own a team so his sister and her husband owns them. They live in my town Canfield.

Such a nice Rhododendron. There was a park in Spokane WA that was filled with them. They grow so large!
Liar! That looks NOTHING like your other Rhododendrons!
You sure? Azaleas is in the same plant genus. I have to wonder if I can grow the deciduous form here in Wyoming. Rose of Sharons do well here.

so what's on everyones dinner menu tonight?

We had roast. Cooked slowly in the oven. With roasted potatoes and carrots. Gravy also. The roast was tender and very good. I generally don't like roast.
Actually cut my previous commute by an hour. 28 miles from my house.
I had a 10 minute commute tops. Was able to come home for lunch.

Oh my. Roast is near the top of my comfort food list. Carrots are good but roasted potatoes, they are a gift. Now I need to convince my wife that I NEED a roast this weekend.

Ok if I go that way I can always stop in Georgia for a minute ………….to pick up peaches 🍑
We had several inches of heavy wet snow. Mountain got close to a foot. Our weather has been nuts. I lost all my peaches. And apples and pears. Cherries didn't even bloom well. 😢

Truly I don't usually like roast. My husband cooked it at 250. Not sure what all else he did. But I actually liked it. Good luck getting her to fix you one.

Looks like I can grow a deciduous azaela in Wyoming. There is a bright orange one I may have to try.

I was saddened this morning by the death of the Royal Gramma in quarantine. Looked to be fine for over 2 weeks. Then dead this morning. Very disappointing and sad for the little guy.

Anyone have good luck with one? He was eating well and out swimming with the other fish. Totally unexpected. 😔

We prefer Mississippi mud here lol


I thought you were originally from Michigan?
I thought she was originally from outer space.

Handles is rated the 3rd best ice cream in the nation. Ironically number one and two are in Ohio also. I have tried both and I still think Handles is the best. Maybe because I grew up on it. When I was growing up we went to the original before they franchised.
And don't forget about that county fair!
