I can’t believe they offer baby octopus in FL restaurants!!!!!!!!!  LOL. Maybe in a FEW high-en Chinese restaurants (or in Chinatown!) you might find it out here, but I’ll bet nowhere close to Luv!!!!!!  LOL

 
Well.....I couldn't believe this, but when I was at dillions....which is probably more known as Kroger......they had some baby octopus in their Susi dept.....I had to stop and stare....never saw that before....lol

LOL LOL.  They must be farm raised, don’t you think?   Our Kroger owned stores here are called Ralphs!!!  My mental image of any octopus is this HUGE one they have in the aquarium here!!!!!  LOL

I haven’t had time to really look at the pics either....or read any articles. It was an amazing venue....also LOTS of $$$$$$....but why not?!!! LOL. 😂

 
I loved seeing the pictures and reading some of the articles.....but was a little upset that she wants to wait on children......how are we ever going to get a meryl/fedor girl to go with Charlie jr to keep the skating world on fire? Lol

 
I read that in the only article I think I saw that was obviously written prior to the wedding. I thot the same thing about the kids. I also thought it was rather BOLD for the interviewer to even ASK!!! Let’s face it, they have been together so long....why wait too long?? Maybe she was just throwing that out there as a distraction, tho, because I really felt it was a little rude. But I’m old fashioned, I guess.

I wonder if its because of not wanting to take a break from skating for SOI

The trip sounds fantastic.  what is a quilting retreat?   Are several people going?

Quilting retreat is just a weekend or however long a bunch of quilters from different places get together, lug all their sewing stuff and fabric stash, and sew all day and all nite!!!  LOL. I’m going with 2 of my friends.  It’s in Buellton, which is up the coast a couple hours near Santa Barbara....kind’ve on that “bottom” area where the coastline comes down from up north and makes an abrupt right turn!!!  On the way (but off a county or state road) is a really neat tavern/restaurant which was a stagecoach stop.  It’s been operating for well over 100 years....and looks like it!!!  Very old and tiny....rustic....next to a quiet stream.  Hoping to pass thru there and maybe have a meal.  You kind’ve have to know it’s even there....not sure how they keep it going!!!  LOL

 

Oh how fun....it sounds like a great time...really a wonderful retreat to relax...yet....be stressed in getting things done....but loving it at the same time...lol

 
It’s very relaxing....not to have to worry about fixing food and cleaning up, etc.....and even if you don’t accomplish your goals (I never do—at least on my schedule!!!), you at least kind’ve have a barometer of where you are on the project(s).  Both the quilts I’m doing for the kids are reasonably small and start with panels, so the tops will go fast.
