Disney Epcot’s Food And Wine Festival

Posted on

When I went to Disney Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival the thought in my mind was I don’t want to look back and say I wish I had eaten that.

I had a fabulous time with my daughter and her friends, going from country to country tasting the food of the world. My tip is to make sure you share with friends or family because you will not be able to eat the world alone no matter how much you would like to. The only thing better than talking about food is eating food. Make sure to get yourself a Epcot tray which is so helpful holding food and drink as you maneuver around the countries.

Disney Epcot know that nothing brings people together like good food and drink.

Julia Child said People who like to eat are the best people and we all know that good people and good food means a good time. But don’t forget, while you are stuffing your face, Epcot has loads of rides to enjoy, yes I do look a little nervous but truly I was having the time of my life.

You will eat good food and you will feel good. My favorite country was France, but all the countries are amazing in their own right and offer the most delicious foods from their land.

After tasting the world and enjoying the rides, music and sights we decided that Mexico was were we would have dinner. I have been to Epcot Mexico before and I was so happy to return. I got the Salmon on a mixed Salad, I thought I would not finish it I was wrong.

I took my daughter to Epcot when she was 7 years old and this trip my daughter took me to Epcot. Hold my hand, I will go anywhere with you. I hope you take the time to enjoy Disney Epcot Food and Wine Festival with your family and friends. Life is meant for good friends and great adventures.

WOOF! by Robert Freeman

Posted on

Once in a while a book comes along that leaves a lasting impression on readers. Robert Freeman’s Woof! A Love Story of Dogs, Music, and Life is that book. Freeman was a music school director when he fell in love with his assistant, Carol, and spent 42 happy years with her and 17 wonderful dogs. This beautifully-illustrated book reflects on a loving marriage and the special bond that exists between people and their pets. Now a retired professor, having once led three of the nation’s leading music schools, the collective memories in Woof! help sustain Robert ─ who sadly lost his beloved wife in 2018.

Some people are born to pet all the dogs.

Carolina Dream by Connie Squiers

Posted on

Carolina Dream by Connie Squiers: The story includes much prayer, joy, and tragedy, including the burning of their stable by the disgruntled former employer. The thread throughout this book is this family’s trust in God and their faith that all things work together for the good.

Julie lived on a very exclusive Thoroughbred horse farm in Camden, South Carolina, where her father was the manager. When her mother died, it set an unusual set of events in motion. Her dad received a letter of condolence and apology from his father, who lived in Granada, Spain. He had banished his son from his life 15 years earlier. His apology for having no contact with his son was accompanied by a gift, a beautiful Andalusian mare. Surprisingly, having the new horse resulted in his firing.
