Oh my heavens! That wins the cake! What a great story and one they will share laughs about for ever.

Have a fantastic day, my friend.

When it finally arrived (at great expense) they flipped the crate over to finish boxing it and lo and behold! It was made in the furniture factory just down the road from our office complex!!!

Hi Juanita,

That sure does make me feel better! But I’m glad to have given my family something to laugh about years later! And I’m sorry about your t-shirt, sounds like it needs to leave your closet and find a new home!

Have a great day, my friend.

Lynn

We went to Yellowstone and into a little shop. I kept looking at this fleece shirt, so cute, little brown bear, Yellowstone embroidered across the front. I thought probably made in Wyoming, good. Bought it, got back to our RV and looked at it and of course the little tag inside said… yep “ made in China” . Was so disappointed I have never worn it.

That is such a you story! Well, and I guess a me story too!

And straight up truth, I had him taste a spoonful and asked him what it was and he said ‘cream of tomato’ soup. His face blanced when I told him waht it was, after the fact!

Hugs!

Hi Pam,

This is the tour we did. https://www.breakaway-adventures.com/product/walking-in-austrias-lake-district/

Some of the towns on the tour have changed over the past six years, but I have no doubt it is still wonderful. It’s the second trip I had done with them, the first being one I did with a girlfriend hiking through Alsace-Lorraine in France. I have nothing but good things to say about Breakaway Tours. It’s not cheap, but worth every penny.

I’m glad to share more info if you need it.

Lynn

My husband’s ancestors are from Austria and is on our wishlist to visit. Your trip sounds amazing! Thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas you share.

Reminds me of this gorgeous, overpriced tablecloth I felt I HAD to buy my first trip to Italy. It was so perfectly authentically Italian.
Got it home to see it was made in France.
Fittingly, then the first time I used it, I had this long candle thing on it that held like 10 red glass cups for votive candles. About 10 minutes before dinnertime one of the glasses exploded, shattering everywhere and splattering candle wax all over my beautiful overpriced tablecloth.
I called around to this holistic dry cleaners that had recently opened in town to see if they could clean wax out of this fabric and they said of course they could!
So I take my wax-stained overpriced tablecloth there.
When I pick it up a few weeks later, get it home, I check the stains to find there are HOLES where the wax stains were! They literally put holes all over my overpriced Italian tablecloth that wasn’t Italian! I still use it and still grumble then laugh about it. (ps really Terry thinks that yucky beet soup is cream of tomato?)
