“Experience Blooms & Butterflies and immerse yourself in the enchanting Pacific Island Water Garden, where hundreds of vibrant exotic butterflies flutter freely in a warm, tropical paradise filled with brilliant nectar flowers.”

Wednesday morning with Laura and Roy-

Hard to photograph the butterflies in flight but when they light on a leaf with their colorful wings spread one can snap a photo with ease.

Folding a Load of Towels

  1. Folding a load of towels can be satisfying. Bath towels, hand towels, beach towels, dish towels, washcloths. There are many ways to fold towels.

When I’m visiting my daughter I ask her to remind me how she folds her towels so I can replicate her method.

They need to fit on the linens shelf the way she’s accustomed to. Linen closet space might determine your preference.

I fold mine differently at home.

Do you think there’s a right way? A proper way? Do you fold/roll towels the way your mother did? Do you think about why you have a preference? Do your towels look like you’re in a fancy hotel or spa?

Here’s an article on Five Ways to Fold Towels

And there’s also the debate whether to Fold or Roll. Which is better?

Coffee Ice Cream

Ever since that Howard Johnson vintage ad post, I’ve had the thought of a coffee ice cream cone in the back of my mind.

Look what my dear daughter Laura brought home from the grocery store last night. Just the right amount. There was even a tiny paddle spoon in the lid.
