Late today….. we had a fun and busy day yesterday. AL and I went to Disney World with the aforementioned Flat Stanley. The sun was out and we had a good time walking through the park and ended by going to sit in the audience for an American Idol performance. That was kind of cool – they had three contestants and after they all sang you voted for the best in your opinion. That person would go on to the finals for that day at 7 pm where the winner would receive a ticket that would put them in the front of the line for any American Idol addition they were able to attend.
After Disney, we went over to our friends Dick and Adrienne who are from Brainerd Minnesota but spend their winters in Florida. Dick and Adrienne own a bed and breakfast in Brainerd and I love catching up with her. We never get to see them enough. Adrienne is also a blogger and I love reading her blog as she is very crafty and comes up with neatest ideas for projects and in her cooking too. We did not leave their home until 10:30 pm (I blame AL – he is soooooo chatty….LOL) and then made our way back to where we are staying which is an hour and a half away. Yup, back after midnight and TIRED. Thus, the late meandering this morning.
Hope everyone’s day is a wonderful one – I am putting the finishing touches on my review of dream HOUSE which will be up yet today.

When Al is at the auction Laura he has the rental car so I am here alone with my laptop and books 🙂
Yesterday when we went into Orlando – it is an hour and a half to get there. Al drives -I read. 🙂
Sounds like a great day!
It was a fun day Lisa – left me pretty tired out by the end of it. 🙂
WOW – glad you are having a great time! The ressure is on now… do I need to blog while on traveling next week?!! 🙂
You amaze me!
No pressure at all mari – take the week off. 🙂 On a normal vacation I would be too (mostly…. well, maybe…. well…. I dont know…. lol)
This particular trip there is not a lot else to do when the weather is chilly and I am alone in the house.
Yes, I was wondering what was keeping you! LOL.
Glad to hear that you’re having so much fun!
I was slow this morning wasnt I laurel? LOL I helped Al with a bid this morning too when I got up…. priorities and all that….
It sounds like you’re all having a blast! I’m glad you had the opportunity to connect with a blogging friend. 🙂
Thanks Stephanie! It was cool to talk with her. Even though we live in the same town we rarely have time to get together.
Sounds like you had a great day!
Great pic! Glad to hear your vacation is going so well.
Thans Jody! It didnt dawn on my that Stanley was pretty much blue and so is the big Blue Guy (his name escapes me!)… Stanley kind of blended in!
Can’t wait to see the review for Dream House. I will be starting it this weekend. I hope it’s s good one!
Psst- are those the purple shoes I’m seeing?
LOL Angie – they are the purple shoes 🙂
I will be interested in what you think of the prologue of dream HOUSE. It wasnt a good moment for me….
Sounds like you’re having a great time! I love Disney, but we never seem to find any characters to pose with. Once waited in line for almost an hour for Mickey Mouse as I was determined to get a picture with him! *L*
I was going to wait in line for a character pic with Stanley and then couldnt do it with all the kids waiting and then me and a paper cut out…LOL 🙂
Awww…what a cute pic!
I’ve always had secret dreams of opening a Bed and Breakfast. Does your friend find it rewarding?
Adrienne loves her bed and breakfast and she has a lot of repeat customers. She has that kind of personality where she can just sit and chat – she is so down to earth – makes everything organic and HOMEMADE… LOL it is her calling!
If you look at her website Michelle you will see her recips and gardening tips and pic of the rooms. She is amazing!
Glad you had a great time at Disney World and a nice visit with friends. Love the photo!
Thanks Vicki it was a really nice day
Sounds like a fun day-your friends b and b looks adorable. I want to go back and check out the cooking mag she mentions. I have never heard of it.
You two would hit it off Esme – Adrienne is an incredible cook (we tried a new gluten free bread recipe last night) and ate organic pea soup.
She always has amazing ideas 🙂
Sounds like you are having a great trip! I just have to say I love the picture!!! I love the monsters! Great.
Thanks Melissa – we had a really good time!
Love the picture.
It was fun Ryan. 🙂
We took our grandson to Disney 2 years ago. He took his stuffed dog with him. We have many pictures of Brownie visiting some great places.
Pat those are great memories!
