LOL Sherry! I'm still here, I enjoyed all your pictures. Of course I was salivating over the English toffee...

I started my little TR, nothing really there yet, I just kind of put up an introduction.

I look forward to reading about any upcoming adventures you have!

I'm here too Sherry! Been drooling all over the screen and I bet I've gained 10 pounds just looking at the bakery and candy shop offerings!

I'm here just quiet.

Good! I'm glad someone is still out there! Thanks for staying on board. It takes sooooooo long to deal with Photobucket and my slow PC - I want to make sure my efforts are not for naught! (Especially since I hope to keep the photos coming until a DLR trip occurs!!)

Also, I have a sort of update (in the next post), and will be interested to hear your thoughts!!



Marie - did you go to Farmers Market and The Grove when you were in SoCal at any point in the past?

Well I will be crossing everything I can that you get that check early next week! And that the for some non-creepy/serial killer vibes off of Mr. driver dude! It would be so awesome to see you there.

I'm actually at DLR starting the 23rd . I just get there early that morning. So I have the 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, and part of the 27th there.

No, Sherry we never made it there. I'm not really a big shopper when on vacation. It was probably a good thing too. Our flight might have never made it off the ground to get us home if I had passed through all those yummy offerings!

Oh, I would have thought that you'd go to Farmers Market just because it's a historical part of L.A.! I think people go there more for the variety of food from the vendors than they do the shopping. Much of the shopping is just the typical touristy-knick-knack stuff. Now The Grove itself is more about shopping, but Farmers Market - more about eating, I think!!

I'm a sucker for cupcakes, so it was quite a feat that I avoided all of those (and the other stuff) shown in the photos. I was really tempted by the Oreo cupcake and the slice of strawberry shortcake cake. But I couldn't give in at that moment. That's not to say that I don't occasionally eat ice cream or other goodies - I do, occasionally - but, those things, while so delicious, are SUCH empty calories. I mean, there are absolutely no nutrients in them at all, aside from the eggs used in the batter!!

At least, if you have to eat something that's considered 'bad' for you, like fast food, eat a burger or pizza or fried chicken - all of which may be made in less than healthy ways, but will have more nutrients and protein in them than sweets, etc. Eating a decadent cupcake - or two...or three - is such a waste of calories because you're getting absolutely nothing from it except calories, fat and possible blood sugar problems!!

So tomorrow I will explain about how my friend-who-has-lost-the-Disney-magic (who I have spoken of before) now claims that she, her husband and young son are supposedly coming out here to L.A. at the end of December and into the first week of January. And she says that a DLR trip is on the agenda (after all my talk of how she has lost the magic)...even though they don't really have - nor want to spend - the money necessary to really do the kind of trip they have in mind. I had offered to help them plan a trip if they ever got out here, and share all my tips and wisdom, as well as direct them to the things that were not at DLR the last time they were there.

Will this mean a third DLR trip for me (after the expected Halloween and Christmas jaunts), or will it all be a mass of confusion, chaos and stress? Hmm...possibly both of those options or possibly neither!!

By the way, I should point out - IF my friend and her family make it out here, and IF a DLR trip occurs, it would be on the last day of the holiday season - January 2nd...which I would expect to be super, mega-crowded (and not a time that I would voluntarily elect to go).

Sounds like some progress...

(Pssst! DLR trip in 2 weeks Yeah, sounds good to me)
