I remember thinking “that cop ate one too many jelly donuts” as he gave chase to the streakers lol.
Roughly 13,000 I think.
1992
Mitsubishi Galant

Bought it new .. drove it until probably 2000/2001.
I’d be finding a new job if I worked for the city.
A friend just got back but brought home no euros.

She suggested just to grab at the DFW airport on our way out if my bank can’t get them in time.

Euros for Europe .. get here or there?

Old posts vary on thoughts so I figured it can’t hurt to ask again.

Many posts said to use your debit card THERE if there are no fees. I will call my bank tomorrow re: transaction fees for using debit card there but I’m willing to bet there will be as it’s a small local bank.

I have 2 credit cards that have no foreign transactions fees on purchases so I’ll be using those .. I’ll call them as well to see if this applies to cash advances but I’m assuming it will.

Is it better to pay the fee and get them there or to get euros here? I just want the best exchange rate.

And yes we will use cc for what we can .. but will need some for bathrooms (if it’s not a shop or restaurant), water, small shops.

Will be in Paris, Rome, Sorrento.
He has. At least before the primary. It was tv ads for sure .. maybe radio as well.
Probably. It was an unexpected interview. Yes I’m old and could lose a few. :cheers:.
Not a drop where I am south of Lafayette. Today was supposed to be a rain out.
Also feel free to give me your best long-haul flight travel tips! I’ve only flown internationally once and it was to Africa several years ago. I wasn’t miserable, but it could’ve been better.
Do you travel with Carrie one only? Everyone keeps telling me I need to do that but I just don’t know if it’s possible for 10 days. We’re going in July and it’s going to be hot as hell and I’m not washing dresses in the sink.
Geeze. Ours were wayyyy more. How early did you book?

Pick your own sunflowers

Sharing again this year about our Sunflowers for St. Jude fundraiser. It’s in Kaplan, Louisiana.

All donation based — 100% of donations go to St. Jude.

If you have Facebook (yeah I know but it’s been great for this) the page name is Sunflowers for St. Jude!!! .. don’t leave off the !!!

Some have expressed interest in prior years so I figured I’d share again this year!!
If I died my husband would be fine .. if he dies first, well I know who to go to and have “some” more than basic understanding of the investments.

My husband is a farmer .. one day years ago I realized that should he die prior to harvest and a crop was in the field .. what would I do. He told me all the farmers around here would do what was needed to get the crop finished. AlI need to know on the financial side of the farm is the bank he works with and the FSA office.

re: Colorado trip in mid July recs.

I’d agree. I was newly pregnant and slept so much of it but what I saw was fantastic. My husband loved it. Silverto. Was a cool little town as well.

We took the bus up and the train down.
I wish we had more time to copy your blog .. we’ll be in Paris for three nights, Rome for four and Sorrento for two. I’m expecting that we’ll love Sorrento the most.
We only have 2 nights there — a full day and a half unfortunately. It’s at the end of our trip.

Thanks!
Anyone done a boat trip from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi?? Traveling with my adult daughter in July (I fear we may melt) ... Sorrento is our last stop and she's requested a boat trip to these 2 spots that ALSO offers time to swim off of the boat.

Does anyone here have any recs? There are so many online but I'd love recs from people who've done it.

ALSO: does anyone here NOT use only a carryon and personal item??
Idk but an adult male died in Lafayette after a crash with a car last week .. not sure if the situation and what happened but ooor fella is dead.
