Well guess what?  Bryan has a real shiner/black eye too.  His story is eye surgery!!
I'm telling everyone he was in a bar fight. MOL BOL LOL

HAPPY TUESDAY Duck Donuts

 

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus  

HAPPY TUESDAY BRYAN'S EYE SURGERY WENT VERY WELL YESTERDAY.  SURGERY STARTED 45 MINUTES ✌✌EARLY AND IT ONLY TOOK 15 MINTUES👍👍 NOT 45.  HE CAME HOME WITH A GUAZE PATCH OVER HIS EYE AND A PLASTIC SHIELD.  SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.  DR. LABER SAID IT WOULD LOOK ROUGH FOR A WHILE.

NO LIFTING OR BENDING AT WAIST FOR A FEW DAYS AT LEAST.

HE HAS A POST OP TODAY AT 7:50 AM.  HOPEFULLY IT LOOKS VERY GOOD TO THE DOCTOR. 

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR VERY PAWSITIVE THOUGHTS

FRIDAY JUNE 6 WAS NATIONAL DONUT DAY



OMDs/OMCs what a sweet discovery we recently made.
We had never been in a Duck Donut Shop.  We Walked in no menu no donuts we thought what the heck.  A young guy said welcome.  I said this is our first visit.  He told us all about  it.  Too bad we had just had lunch.  They were hot when they were put in the box.  WE PROBABLY DID NOT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE.

Duck Donuts...all donuts are white inside.  While you wait they cook them then decorate just as you selected.  We ordered cookies and cream with chocolate icing on it, a coffee icing with powder sugar and a confetti.  They smell so good and a coupon for a free cinnamon on Nat'l donut day June 6. 



What a fun decor and I loved the logo 

Sprinkling Happiness throughout the Triangle




If you own a Jeep,  you can buy a Ducks there to share with another lucky
Jeep owner.



**The Research Triangle, or simply The Triangle, are both common nicknames for a metropolitan area in the Piedmont region of the U.S. state of North Carolina. Anchored by the cities of Raleigh and Durham and the town of Chapel Hill, the region is home to three major research universities: North Carolina State UniversityDuke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, respectively. The "Triangle" name originated in the 1950s with the creation of Research Triangle Park located between the three anchor cities, which is the largest research park in the United States and home to numerous high tech companies.[4]

Breaking news!!! 
From Angel Madi's 'cloud' account!!
Thank you to Ann and June for this badge.

Bryan is having eye surgery today, June 9, to correct a condition called Pterygium:
a growth of tissue on the cornea.  These tissue growths are believed to be caused by dry eye, exposure to wind and dust and UV exposure..
We have to be at the hospital at 11:45 am today.  The surgery takes 45 minutes; however, we will have to remain at the hospital for at least 3 hours afterwards.
Thankfully the hospital is very close to home.
I will be MIA starting at 11: am today.  He has a post op appt on Tuesday Morning, June 10, at 7:50am.
I will update you after the post op

Hugs and Thank you all in advance, for your good wishes for Bryan.

We are leaving at 11, I'm going to have an early lunch
