Wrappin' It Up

You guys made my day yesterday with your comments about the doctor's office story. Thanks for enjoying that one and making the whole mess worth it! :)

I had a couple random end-of-the-Freelan-family-vacation things to share with you, so hope that is okay for today!!

The last night we were together, we all hung out in one of the common areas at the hotel, gathered up some chairs and couches, and looked at each other's pictures. Ryan lost his seat on the couch with me so other people could peek over my shoulder at the family pics...and this is what I caught him doing across the way. Content as he could be on my tablet. :)

Saturday morning, we ate together at the hotel and then went our separate ways. Ryan and I went shopping at a bulk food store on the edge of town, and when we came back to our car, we walked past a car with a WBCL window sticker in the back window. That was fun to see, and I wanted to leave a note! So Ryan dug some paper out of the car and I scratched out a quick message: 
I tucked it under the windshield wiper and we went on to the next store. The next day, I found a message on the station Facebook page from the recipient - who found the note and thought someone had hit her car! LOL!! No no - just me! She was excited to get a note and said she went to Rise n Roll {more on that in a minute} and looked for me because she knew I loved that place. I do and I went there - but not right away.

We went shopping at another store...some of our adventures included:

The swing we will NOT be getting because someone is not smart enough to sit in it without an adult helper:
 The log cabin we threatened to buy as a mortgage free existence, until we realized what is behind Ryan IS the kitchen. {Notice anything missing? Fridge? Stove? PLUMBING???}
 And this.

CAN YOU EVEN HANDLE THE CUTENESS????????

I CANNOT HANDLE THE CUTENESS!!!!!!!

I wanted him. But my logical husband said it's not the time. Lynne said if I had gotten him, I should have named him Winston.
So Winston probably lives at someone else's house now.

Sigh.

I consoled myself with a trip to the aforementioned Rise n Roll:
If you listen to Mid-Morning, you've heard our callers talk about Amish crack? This is what they're talking about. The donuts to end all donuts. The sweet bits of goodness that melt in your mouth.

My mouth is watering even typing the words.

Whoever invented the Rise n Roll....GOD BLESS YOU.

And please come to our house every morning with a half dozen.

For me.

You can't top this, so after we were done with this, we came home...sad to say goodbye to vacation, but so happy about our weekend away!!!

Now can I have a donut, please?

So enjoyed all your posts on Shipshewanna. Looks like we will be able to fit in an overnight in a couple weeks. Never heard of Rise n Roll will check that out for sure!! We always get a pizza from Shipshe pizza which is located just outside of town. Hoping to convince my hubby to go to the flea market while we are there as well!!
~Blessings~

Shari - See you really shouldn't have told me you're hoarding the Amish crack...I'll have to come right over!!

Tina - YOU MUST GO THERE. It will change your donut life. :) Next time we go, we will have to check out the pizza!

I also found a puppy I wanted, a little yorkie, she was so sweet. My husband also said "no" we have a cat and she rules the house! He did say though that when the cat goes and we have mourned her death we can look into getting a yorkie!!
