I am not surprised by the iced coffee....it's become the thing lol.
Funny enough, I remember where I had my first one ever and it was a novelty then.

It was a hot summer and people were scarfing them...such a big deal for everyone at the time.
I bet Balduccis was making a killing. They always did because they were so good....at everything.

I never drank coffee when I was younger. Although I always thought it smelled good brewing, but tasted burnt. Then I retired early at 53. Tried my first iced coffee that summer...probably was a salted caramel mocha and got hooked. It's like a cold liquid chocolate bar. To be honest, I find them too sweet now. If I buy one now I usually blend it in thirds with straight black coffee that sat overnight in the refrigerator.

I'm on a business trip. I'm staying at Extended Stay America on the company's dime. It is awful! They charge for cups, flatware, plates, etc. I went to WaWa and got plastic flatware and a cup for my wine.

I've never ever ever heard of a hotel charging guests to rent eating utensils and plates/cups.
Wow.
Of course, we stayed at a Wyndham location over the weekend that didn't have WiFi in the rooms, although it was advertised as such. That's just wrong.

7- Eleven April Fools Donut is Toothpaste/mint flavored. I tried it so no one else had to. I thought All of those working in C-stores today might appreciate knowing. I was to curious not to try it.

Funny @rargirl. I took brown EEEs to school. In a pan. Grade 2 thought it was a good prank.

I got back from my trip yesterday. Pepper meowed once and went to her empty wet food dish. What a warm welcome.

That's a cat welcome. The stray cat in our yard comes up to the window to stare in when it's dish is empty, but just hisses at us when we step out to feed it.

Did you miss me? I haven't done a shop for almost 2 weeks!

We just got back from a trip to Venice, or Venezia for you Italians. The then-city-state is considered to have been the first real international financial center, emerging in the 9th century and reaching its greatest prominence in the 14th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history.

We walked through the islands just imaging what it must have been like in it's day. Went everywhere by boat. Enjoyed a cappuccino almost every morning. Excellent scallops,sea bass, and tiramisu made in front of us at our table. More than a few gelato desserts while walking around.

I miss standing on the floating dock as it gently sways while we await the vaporetto to board and travel to another place on the lagoon.

Just enjoying a bit of time off of work for Spring Break. The family spent a few days in the mountains of Tennessee. Now just enjoying taking it slowish.
