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!

Delicious Chicken Quesadilla

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!

Fish Fry

Fish Fry | My Sunday Snapshot 18

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 18. We had an invite to go to a fish fry. Kevin’s friend, Ed, called last week and extended the invitation. Kevin and Ed have been friends since their high school days. Ed’s large extended family celebrated several graduates, birthdays and an anniversary. Lots of family and friends, food and fish! The fish was excellent.

The gathering was held outside, quite the distance from the main house. Ed had his uncle build this luxury commodity. Much better than finding a ‘tree’.

In case you were wondering about the truck; the blue barrel filled with water, had a faucet that could be turned on or off. A bar of soap is to the left of the barrel.

On the walk back to the fish fry, this was the view of the pond.

In short, I never have liked using an ‘outhouse’. I have always cringed at needing to use one. This time the experience was somewhat ‘pleasant’. Very unexpected 🙂

Have a wonderful week!

Girl Scout Cookies, or Not?

Girl Scout Cookies, or Not?

Hi, welcome to Gma’sPhoto!

Each week when Adam and I share dinner and a movie, I like to pick up some sort of dessert/snack. This particular time I had gone down the cookie isle at the grocery store. The Oreo’s were all on special. The mint creme caught my attention. So I bought one package of them and of course one package of chocolate chips.

If you like the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies, you will enjoy the Mint Oreo’s. Not only are they tasty, the price is even better! Between me and Adam, we ate the whole package that evening.

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

On our way to the Wamego Tulip Festival!

Meeting people is fun. While visiting Wamego, Jim was the person who greeted us as we went into the ‘Old Town’ area. He was in front of the communication building featuring the telephones. To see images of the antique telephones and other festival images, click here.

Ten years ago, there were just a few vendors, mainly informational. This year it was packed, vendors, food vendors and visitors! The main entrance took you thru the food court. Many different foods to pick. We arrived right at lunch time. For lunch we went to the tent where the Knights of Columbus grilled hamburgers, right side in picture. And on the way out we went to the Stumpy’s Smoked Cheese food truck on the left in the image. Oh my, the Mac and Cheese with bacon was delicious!

Frozen Bananas | My Sunday Snapshot

My Sunday Snapshot 6

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 6!

When I discovered frozen bananas it was when I was in the grocery store in the freezer section. I was looking for frozen fruits for my morning smoothies. The frozen banana and strawberry package caught my attention. Later I realized it is cheaper to buy bunches of bananas and cut them up myself.

Before and After!

The bananas do stick together when I place them in the freezer. Once the bag of bananas have frozen, I simply break them apart while they are in the bag by tapping the bag on the counter. When I first started freezing them, I would use a cookie sheet layered with parchment paper. Well, now I add the cut bananas right into the freezer bag. Much easier and quicker.

Have a wonderful week!
