Visiting "Robert Is Here"


On our way down to Key West we stopped for a milkshake here at this crazy fruit stand called
Robert Is Here
I guess he has been here just about forever. 


The fruit was exotic 


It was huge!  


My sister in law holding a one of the grapefruits.  


Not only did they have fruit, they had Iguana and an Emu to visit.  There were even Parrots in a small zoo in the back of the fruit stand. 


A few arts and crafts

Ruby red Pitaya Dragon Fruit...say what?

And lo and behold Robert himself!  
He was pleased to have his picture taken with me.


Yes, we did get our milkshakes


 I would choose this place over McDonalds any day!  

A very fun place to stop and stretch and take a driving break.

Just passing through from Blue Monday

Hey - do they they have grapefruit milkshakes?! Now there's an idea. My hubby went to the market to do the shopping, came back with three grapefruit period. Nothing useful like carrots, apples or broccoli - that fruit has sat on the side for days, so I laughed when I saw your photos on the gorgeous grapefruit...
Got to dash I have to make a grapefruit shake!!!

Shakes!!! My favorite drinks too after the unhealthiest Coca Cola hahaha You are too lucky to have your shakes prepared by the owner himself. What a perfect way to cool down the summer heat.

Thank you for linking up Jeannie! Happy Sunday and have a great week ahead.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
