Today's quote:
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others, at whatever cost. |
Arthur Ash An old photo:  ----------- Having reached some kind of milestone with yesterday's 3000th posting, I'm backing down a bit from some of my usual blogging. Oh yes, you'll see me here still... but perhaps a bit differently. I will still check in on my friend bloggers! |
I'll be interested to see what's next for your blogging. I'm glad you're continuing.
ReplyDeleteJust sharing some old scenes from the "Way-Back-Machine" planned.
DeleteI hope don’t back down too much.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on other directions in my life...so I can say I'm something besides a "blogger."
Delete...free range?
ReplyDeleteWell, not being a chicken, I guess I might try wandering a bit...but certainly will not be crossing the road, rather driving along it!
DeleteI love that old photo...what fun you had and good memories. I think the restaurant with farm animals is pretty neat too. I only post once a week now and that suits me. I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I'll keep an eye out for your posts! I wonder if people take their kids to that restaurant and if they cause the animals any problems. I love little ones, but when I see vacationing families, often with 4-6 kids who've been cooped up in cars for hours, sometimes it is overwhelming for them, and me!
DeleteHi Barbara, My wife would be 'all in' in favor of The Bush Farmhouse Restaurant! She could get her critter fix and have lunch too... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteIt is a restaurant I've visited just a few times, as it's a bit pricey and the dishes aren't geared to my tastes that much. But of course it's like a petting zoo in a way!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love the donkeys, they are adorable critters. The hog looks huge.
Cute shot of you with your mother. Did I mention I love your header photo?
Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thanks for leaving me a comment.
Hi to you also Eileen. The times we had fun together (for the camera?) were few and far between with my mother and myself. Glad you enjoyed these animals.
DeleteThat miniature donkey is cute, I never seen one that small.
ReplyDeleteThey are very sweet, and soft to pet. I did like that we were invited to pet them.
DeleteThat is a pretty interesting restaurant! I bet children love dining there.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of how children haven't been taught how to behave around farm animals...but perhaps parental guidance, as well as the owners being there will provide them some simple touching without being rambunctious ...no rides probably!
DeleteCongratulations 🎉 Barbara on your milestone posting! The restaurant looks like an interesting place to visit especially with that cute donkey on the grounds.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 3000th post! The restaurant sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You certainly are a legacy blogger and a good friend. I'm glad I met you and I'm glad you are not disappearing. Thank you for visiting. Aloha
ReplyDeleteI love the animals in this post. Yes, especially the cute donkey
ReplyDeleteWell, I will miss your posts, like many others who follow you, but I do understand taking a break. Curious to see what your new direction will be! Westerly, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteDear Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThe Bush Farmhouse Restaurant looks like just my kind of place! I love animals, and it would be such a joy to meet those adorable miniature donkeys during a restaurant visit. The round little pig is cute as well.
I think your quote is absolutely spot-on – and your vintage Disney World photo is simply charming. What year was that trip?
Warm wishes from Austria,
Traude
