awe! how swet of her! looks like you both enjoyed it so much!
"Je ne sais quoi" is exactly the way to describe me.Well, it's about time you finally showed up! My reports always lack a little "Je ne sais quoi?"when you're not chiming in.
Ewww...Dolphin dust, fish flakes...…..no, it's whale snot.
It's basically Dunkin' Donuts, but a true Canadian will fight you to the death if you diss it; it is a major institution here. Apparently I'm not a true Canadian, because I'm pretty sure their coffee is about 50% sawdust, and avoid it like the plague. They are also well known for having the SLOWEST workers in Canada. It can actually take them 10 minutes to ring up and pour 1 regular cup of coffee.What is a Tim Hortons?
Me too, kiddo. We are so blessed to know you! We love being able to hang out with you while we're in town! Now.....to get you to Michigan so we can treat you to some of the finer highlights of the Mitten .... in the summer, of course . I like you too much to ask you to visit in the winter time .
I hope you are up for a Kobes repeat when we're there in the fall. Unless you have another gem for us to try......you haven't led us wrong yet. Our treat, of course!!
Which reminds me, I have to get working on our photo book again!! It has taken a back seat almost as badly as this trip report .
Depends on how you look at it but if you prefer walrus snot.Ewww...
Actually, I've been dusted with whale snot while on an excursion in Mexico. Didn't really feel it was a lucky thing at the time...
Pretty sure we can still be friends....Ok, so I’m in the lot that’s got a major love on for Timmies. However, I don’t drink coffee. I do agree on the staffing comments. I swear that they post ads saying those with a brain need not apply. Everything takes multiple people and 47 minutes to figure out. From where I work I can walk in three different directions and get to a Tims. One of them actually has adult staff that have worked there for years. While they are in a grocery store,therefore having only about half the product, I go there regularly because the women always get it right. Shocking I know...but they will see a regular coming through the door and have your usual ready before you even order. Even more shocking they’re nice.It's basically Dunkin' Donuts, but a true Canadian will fight you to the death if you diss it; it is a major institution here.

Google Tim Horton. It’s an interesting little story. He was a Toronto Maple Leaf player and was nearing retirement so he opened one little coffee shop. He was killed in a car accident shortly after.What is a Tim Hortons?

So I've spent days and days and days reading to get caught up here. All I can say is when the cat's away the mice will play. You've tried to give away MY future son in law, plotted coffee domination and cuddled with dolphins.

BTW, a Timmies franchise starts at $500,000 and goes up from there based on location and who's trying to buy it. The good news is that's Canadian dollars so for my friends south of the border it's mere $29.95. Since I live in the Tim Hortons capital of Canada we can all get together when you move here to attend Tim Hortons University. Yes, that's a real thing. You have to attend for several weeks before they let you open up a store.
@pattyw if you think you have a lot in your neck of the woods....come to Oakville. You do have many which I love but here we have intersections with Timmies on 3 of the 4 corners, stores that are literally side by side, inside the grocery stores, every mall has a least one and you won't need to drive more than 4-5 minutes to find one. Even Uber Eats will pick up for you.

Uh- CALLING ALL CENTRAL FLORIDIANS, (or Floridians in general.....) . Can I get some backup for how amazing. ROCCOS TACOS is?!??!?
Hands down, my favorite restaurant. The tableside guacamole is worth the $15. Margaritas, tacos, guac, churros. It's so good!
And nothing is spicy. I don't do spicy.

i LOVE all of your reports! sounds like you had a great day.
AMD is it all timeshares? we had ice problems with ours in Branson over memorial day!
I'm hoping that we get to meet up in october
Ummmmm...what????
We're gonna need more details on that story .
From Wiki:As a grammarian, I find it hard to frequent an establishment that misspells its own name. Now if it was Tim Horton's perhaps I would feel differently. First Tim Hortons, next I'll start rooting for the Toronto Maple Leaves.

Okay, you convinced us! We officially have a Rocco's Tacos date for October (assuming you can make time for us old poops when we visit next ). I see they have a burger on their menu so I know I won't starve . But I promise I'll try to find something a little less boring to try so I continue to broaden my horizons just a bit more. I do draw the line at guacamole. A girl has to have SOME boundaries.
Should I admit that I've lived in Central FL for almost 9 years, and have never heard of them?
I miss good, Canadian Timmies coffee. The Michigan version is just not the same. Better donuts, but less impressive coffee. I've become good friends with my Keurig since taking up residency on this side of the border.
When you were MIA on this thread for so long, I thought our original marriage deal was off . Apparently its time to begin negotiations again. It would have to be a destination wedding, of course (I vote for the Poly Beach, with a poolside reception at the Vistana). Have you rented out that garden shed yet, or is it still an option for the newlyweds' first home together?
Are you a tea girl, then?
I would gladly move to Florida and pour coffee. Leaving the stress of my current business is just what the doctor ordered. Sole ownership SUCKS! ANNND......I worked in restaurants all through high school, since that was just a couple of years ago I'm highly qualified.Hey @dancin Disney style ! You'd be a perfect addition to our Tim's franchise group! might turn into a family business if the marriage works out!
I have to say that our Dismeet was so wonderful! Yep- it was like catching up with old friends as the conversation never stopped! Joe and I are truly grateful, thankful, & blessed as well to have met you guys! and we will meet up again!!
