I also had a few more pics from our trip. Will post before I forget, and while I have time.
This was from a cart in Italy. I am unclear which cart it was and don’t want to give wrong information (ie not sure if it is a permanent cart or if it was just there for F&W). I found my vanilla/cherry overly sweet and didn’t finish it, but it was nice and cool.
DH’s, chocolate and pistachio.
It had heated up a bit later in the afternoon so they were melting pretty fast.
Looking around for more information, this might’ve been the place. (Texting DH as I write this - he wrote back, it was the place, Gelateria Toscana.)
I might try some of the other things pictured in this article next time, rather than the gelati. (DH had been wanting to try it since it opened earlier this year, and we missed it last time as we got there just as it was closing for the night.)

That was about it for F&W food pics. I had a few other random ones.
This was DS’s Dole Whip with Rum from the Polynesian. He said it was good.
This was the dessert at ‘Ohana where we went for DH’s birthday. It was delicious and we all said we’ll be craving it.
It had been a long time since we went to ‘Ohana so I’m not sure this was the same dessert we had before. But it was really good. Like a thick banana cake with warm caramel sauce and cold vanilla ice cream And the presentation was pretty funny, when our waiter poured the hot caramel sauce from a little pitcher from way up high - almost above DH’s head!
Including an article here that has a recipe with it in case anyone wants to try their hand at making it. We might have to, too! (Hmm, ours didn’t come with any sliced bananas!
)

Also had a funny story I’ll share from ‘Ohana. About halfway through our meal the lady who plays the ukulele started playing sort of near us. (I remember the other lady who must be gone now.) Anyway, it was nice at first, but it became a little like a broken record after a while, hearing the same, sort of loud tune over and over. So it got a little annoying.
DH, in his best Carl Fredriksen grumpy tone, said (just to us), “Do you take requests? Please leave!”.
Well we were laughing so hard we nearly choked on our food. It will be one of the more memorable moments of our trip, but there were many. (Still cracking up thinking about it, lol.)
This was from the Boardwalk pizza window and was my birthday dinner! I ordered a veggie pizza but DS overheard me and asked to add sausage
, so I ordered half sausage and half veggie. I’m pretty sure that was the first time we ordered pizza there and we thought it was pretty good. It even came in a cute box, and the price was reasonable (for Disney).
This included our birthday cupcakes, and chips and salsa (from a stand near the pizza window), as well as the wine to toast celebrating our 20 yrs of WDW (which we were going to do at All Star Music, where it all began for us, but it was still closed)! It was perfect, and a beautiful evening with my family.
(I also said my prayers of thanks and gratitude while there, in that moment.)
I will say the Boardwalk Bakery had some reasonably priced sandwiches and salads there that looked pretty good. Including pics. (ETA Not sure it’s clear in the pic but the sandwich w chips is $10.49.) Normally we stay at the Dolphin in that area, so we usually eat there (which is also reasonable, and they have an
AAA discount). Many of you probably know this already
but I thought I’d mention it anyway because a) it’s nice to find reasonably priced things at WDW and b) eating is outside, so for Covid, it’s helpful these days to find decent places to eat outside.
This concludes my mini-trip report! ☺
That, is precious to me as all of you know because He is.
pizza box is adorable!
Prayers, of course, for no flooding!
. The hospital where I work is opening a new wing/building/addition for critical children and babies. They're short staff in the EVS division so they sent out a hospital-wide email asking for volunteers for the next 3 days in 2 hr. shifts to help with cleaning. I signed up for 8-10 this morning and luckily I was smart enough to wear jeans, t-shirt and gymshoes. I was sweating!!!! I brought my work clothes that I just changed into but OMG my hair is a hot mess and most of my make-up dripped off.
). Have a good day! 
That was not what I was hoping to read this morning--that you had a bad night's sleep that is. Lately I seem to either fall much more quickly asleep than I ever did and pretty much stay asleep (outside of getting up once or twice) for 5 or so solid hours. Then by 4:30 or 5 I feel more up. I often try to read for a time and then catch as I can another hours worth of sleep. Could be the warmer weather, time of life change moving closer to a transition, the plague, or all three lol! I am so grateful for the rest I do get and pray, my friend, you will soon find sleep much easier! 
to all and I will check in later.
and grilled out there, etc. I actually didn’t take as many pictures this trip as I usually do, other than of the fam, but I know people like the food pics so I did concentrate a little more on them. 
We only went to a park one day, and that was Epcot, just for Food and Wine. I think it will go down as one of our favorite trips, and we all wish we were back there already. 
That place is huge! And very dark! I’m a city girl! 
as he jokingly referred to it all week, as he’d splurged for a night there with his girlfriend before she had to leave. So he wanted to not like “The Fort” 
after coming from “The Grand”
