What the Golden Ticket got Charlie

Yes that’s a 5 pound chocolate candy bar!

Charlie earned a one pound chocolate bar for his school fundraising efforts.

And then somehow he got a golden ticket!

He said it was random. A golden ticket was in one of the one pound bars!

Which got him this five pound chocolate bar! (Notice one row is missing)

Roy is ready for his dad to cut up another row for us to share.

I had to pull over and photograph this bus stop. Complete with a library. And the chairs!

Handy Hotel Tip from My Friend Joanne

My friend Joanne travels a lot. She mentioned she takes off a plastic cover from a cup in the hotel room. She slips the remote inside. That way you aren’t touching where a thousand fingers have made their selections on the remote.

I remembered to do it today

Such a good tip Joanne. Thanks

Cider Doughnut Season

It’s Cider Doughnut season in New England.

How about your neighborhood?

Here is a recipe for Baked Cider Doughnuts to make at home

Cider doughnuts are American cake doughnuts flavored with reduced apple cider and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A quintessential autumn and harvest tradition, they are especially popular in the Northeastern United States, where they are often found at apple orchards, cider mills, and farm stands during the fall

Bought a warm one Sunday morning at Idylwilde Market in Acton Massachusetts.
