I Do Deserve a Donut!

I Do Deserve a Donut!

I do! I finally took two old printers to be recycled. I bet I had at least 50 miles on the one I had carried around in my car for weeks.

The other one was an old Hp 830C that’s so old I can’t find ink, anymore. I tried refilling the cartridges and ooh what a mess. The cartridges had little ball bearings you needed to pop out to refill. No thanks. I’d still be using that old printer too! It was a good one! Many school certificates were printed on it, along with Words of the Day and other teaching materials. I could cry.

I took them to Express Computer Clinic in Wilkesboro. I consider the owner a friend since I taught with his wife, and he’s made several old laptops keep running!

Like the Wise Men, I took a different way home. It took me by Dixie Donuts, where I found these beauties:

From l to r, front to back; blackberry filled, key lime, two double chocolate filled, and a coconut cream pie

The blackberry filled is for Kent. Looks like one’s missing! It was a duplicate of one of the others. Can you guess which one?!?

The Brushy Mtn. Apple Festival was Super!

and the weather was spectacular! I took these photos from the hilltop upon which the N. Wilkesboro Post Office sits:

The Brushy Mtn. Apple Festival is held annually the first Saturday in October in downtown N. Wilkesboro, NC. Yesterday was the 33rd Festival. I’ve not missed a one even when relatives got married (I went before or after, with my hair sprayed as hard as a brown football helmet! ) Here’s a link: http://www.applefestival.net/

There’re craft vendors, entertainment (bluegrass lovers rejoice,) and lots and lots of food! While I do love a good fried apple pie, the best thing I ate yesterday was a funnel cake smothered in cream cheese frosting and topped with strawberries!
