Comics and cartoons . . .

. . . and some dinosaurs, too !

The #1 reason for our visit here . . .

. . . the Harry Potter section !!!

The attention to detail was amazing . . .

. . . a must-see for fans of Harry Potter !!!

What a fun way to spend a day !!!

Vacation Part 1: Magic Kingdom

We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge during our Disney vacation . . .

. . . and thanks to a surprise free upgrade, stayed on the exclusive "loft" floor,

complete with continental breakfast and all-day-long snacks !!!

The view from our balcony:

What a cool place to stay !

Down this walkway was the boat that took us

to and from the Magic Kingdom . . .

Gotta love Disney decked out for Halloween !

Hello, candy !!!

The scent of sugar just grabbed you from the sidewalk . . . !

My kind of tea party . . .

That's right . . . only a 10-minute wait for the rides and attractions !!!

Awesome !

Definitely a magical first day !!

"Makes Me Smile" Monday

I was hoping to make this my new work uniform . . . !!!!

Back to reality today after a great vacation !!

Happy Monday !

October Bliss

I could stand at my window and stare at this scene for hours . . . .

these colors are breathtaking !

Instead, I make my annual fall trek to my favorite farm market . . .

GORGEOUS !!!

And, because I have to go by it anyway (ha ha !),

I stop at one of my favorite haunts for inspiration . . .

Oh, Fall . . . you are my favorite !!!
