Blue Milk, Butter Beer, a Stinger and Banana Margaritas

Happy T-day!  I have some fun drinks to share with the T-day gang at Elizabeth's Linky Party and for anyone else who just loves interesting drink posts.

The first fun drink is butter beer (non-alcholic) at Universal Studios in Orlando.  My daughter Allie raised this glass to me knowing how much I wish I was there this past weekend.  Isn't it a great picture?

She also sent me this Star Wars Blue Milk picture too.  Evidently it is a cool thing to drink when you go to Universal Studios.
The weekend before she left for Universal, we went to the Prevail Union coffee shop in downtown Montgomery, Alabama and had a fabulous drink called the Alabama Stinger.  I highly recommend it - I could have drank 2 or 3 of them!  We had never visited this shop and it was definitely worth the time and money - click on the link to see some fun pictures.  Here is a picture of us outside the courtyard door.
I saved the best for last.  In this one we are celebrating that Alex has her job lined up after her graduation this May. They are even letting her work there part time so she can be ready to hit the ground running when she graduates.  It was the job she wanted, so I am super happy for her.  Here we are celebrating with Banana Margaritas at our favorite Mexican Restaurant.
If you are interested in joining up with your fun drink posts (can be any type of drink and can include movies or books with drinks, painting with drinks, artwork with drinks, etc.) just link up to Elizabeth's blog, Altered Book Lover.  

Hugz,

Nancy

  2. Those definitely are fun drinks! Blue milk is especially strange and entertaining. Most of the space-opera type films have very little food in them, or maybe just disgusting stuff that the aliens eat. Although of course Luke Skywalker DID have blue milk in the first movie, some kind of stew made by Yoda, and some granola type thing. But that's in what? 10 movies?

  6. These all look fun. A banana margarita...hmmmm. Not sure banana is a flavor I like. But I definitely want to try butter beer and the blue milk would be worth a try too. But best of all, that is a fantastic photo of you and your daughter Nancy. Congrats to Alex. How awesome is that. I hope her job goes well. Have a great T day, and and week ahead. hugs-Erika

  7. What a fun selection of drinks! Never heard of butter beer. I'd like to try the wildflower latte at Prevail Union:). Congrats to your daughter- how wonderful to have gotten such a great job! Thanks for sharing these special drinks. Happy T day!

  8. Fun drinks these are for sure! Blue milk reminds me of blue soup that became so popular in Britain after the first Bridget Jones movie. I'm not sure what butter beer is, it sounds a bit weird. I love the name Alabama Stinger for your coffee drink. Congrats to your daughter for lining up the job she wanted, that's fantastic.

  9. How fun! I would love to visit Universal Studios. When we were in Florida last week, my brother bought a Disney Parks Cookbook for his wife and that blue milk recipe was included! SO cool!
    Glad you had fun with your daughter. That is great that she already has a job lined up.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

  13. Your daughter is just beautiful. Congratulations to her on the job. The drinks look so interesting. Glad you had time to spend with her. Have a great day.

  14. I've never heard of butter beer, but if it's non-alcoholic, I suspect I would like it. I had to laugh at the blue milk, not because it is what your daughter drank, but because my friend Sally buys 1/2 % milk and I call it blue water. It has a blue tint to it. I like the idea of blue milk, though.

    Nice to see you and Allie at Prevail. I want the HVR latte, please. Not iced because it is colder than cold here right now.

    Congrats to Alex on getting her dream job. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful drinks with us for T this week, dear Nancy.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

A Covered Bridge, a Shotgun Wedding, Patton Wisdom, and Some Art

 On our recent vaction, hubby and I got back to our historical marker seeking.  This time we visited the Clarkson Covered Bridge. It is super long and very cool.  We also found a website HERE that has a mapped out tour of Alabama where you can visit 7 in one day - a fun trip for a Fall weekend.  This is the only picture I took of the bridge. The day before, we visited the Patton Musuem at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and viewed Ft. Knox from as close as they will let you get. They say there is still a ton of gold in Ft. Knox - trillions of dollars worth.  We liked the Patton Museum.  I don't agree with most of Patton's management style, but do respect that he accomplished much.  I was impressed with some of his leadership statements like this one which I totally agree with: They have some fabulous items at the museum - hubby could have looked for hours and hours if I had let him. They have planes, tanks, and other vehicles there too so you can see exactly what ...
