Fallbrook Avocado Festival

On Saturday, April 14, 2019, my friend and I drove down to Fallbrook for the Avocado Festival. I had no idea what to expect since I had never been.

The first thing we did upon arrival is scope out all of the artisans and their wares. We found a lady that made awesome jewelry using the seeds from fruits. My friend bought several pairs of errangs, all made from the avocado seed! I think they are awesome.





Aren't they neat? I bought some too but mine are not made from an avocado seed. I feel really bad but I could not understand the lady when she was telling me what seed she used. I asked her to repeat herself four times and by that time, I was just too embarrassed to ask again! But I love the earrings so I bought them!


After we made our purchases we began waling around and I spotted these wind chimes made from bullet casings. (I think!)



Next stop - FOOD!

I had a Gyro. It was a delicious combo of beef and lamb with veggies and cream. So yummy. But very messy, LOL.


Cecilia had a vegetarian Falafel and she said it was delicious.


You can hear about our day at the Avocado festival by listening to my podcast, Not Strictly Disney.

Disneyland Trash Cans

Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
