Disenchantment

Disenchantment

Hi, what I was looking forward to ended in being a total disenchantment. Saturday I was bored. After searching the internet for events in my area, I found this first annual pipes and drum fundraiser. I was stoked to hear me some bagpipes. I planned a late lunch date for myself. When I arrived at the fundraiser, I asked the waitress to seat me where I can hear the pipes. I elected to sit at the bar.

The event was scheduled 2 to 6pm. Naturally I thought I could arrive any time during the event and expect to hear the pipes and drum. Certainly- if no music, then some sort of program information about pipes and drum, right? Nothing. I arrived at 2:15 pm. The bartender handed me the menu, I ordered, ate and still no pipes. Eventually I paid and left. On my way out of the tavern, I seen a firefighter. It was then that I was able to tell him I was disappointed. Disenchantment really. Needless to say, they did not receive any funds from me.

Heck, after proof reading my post, I’m wondering why am I even writing about this letdown. Expectations. This is why. Hopefully when an event is planned and the event is publicly posted, the planners will learn from the experience I had.

Now, on the upside of this disenchantment, my meal was delicious!

One of the workers noticed me taking this image inside Johnny’s Tavern. He explained this is the original brick wall of the original Johnny’s Tavern. The building is 134 years old. The brick was in outstanding condition. All that was needed was brushing, cleaning and a finish applied to the brick. Looks fabulous!

The Secret Garden | My Sunday Snapshot #24

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 24! I have been walking this path on several occasions. One of those walks, I encountered the morning dew. On my most recent walk, I discovered ‘the secret garden‘! I’m surprised I never noticed it before. All the privacy fences look like most fences. Each house back yard is facing the main road. You can see each house similar fences in the top image below. And then the last one in the row, ‘the secret garden‘!

Of course, I just had to take a few images of the pretty flowers. Notice the critter in the white one? Not sure what kind it is. Tried getting close to see. Can you tell what it is?

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Concession Stand | My Sunday Snapshot #23

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 23! Saturday night I attended the musical, The Little Mermaid, with my daughter and her family. It was such a wonderful evening. The musical was at Starlight Theatre. We decided to eat while at the Theatre. I was rather surprised the chicken tenders I ordered were actually good!

Road Construction

Road Construction | My Sunday Snapshot #22

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 22! After our July Summer Party, I drove Adam home. Seems like every year the City of Lawrence always has some sort of road construction taking place. This year it is affecting my drive time each drive thru Lawerence. Each store I shop, my parents home and where Adam is living is on the north side of Lawrence. The road under construction is 6th street (40 HWY).

It’s a long street!

Each intersection stop light must be synced the whole stretch of the street. The speed limit is 25, the drive is non stop which is nice. If the travel was stopped at each or every other intersection, the traffic would be horrible. As it is, it’s tolerable.

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
