st. patrick's day 2026

 take it easy with the green beer today, if you drink.

and i hope you can avoid the people that drank too much green beer if you don't.

oreo krispy kreme doughnuts

 despite not liking the last batch of krispy kreme doughuts from wal-mart, my brother discovered the limited time oreo ones and insisted we get them.

first of all; they are nearly $12 ($11.98) for 6! 

second; they were better then the valentine's day ones. but not worth nearly $2 per doughnut. IMHO. 

spring-like weather

 there have been several days of spring-like temperatures. although it is not technically spring until mar. 21, or something.

then it will get cold, or cold-ish, again for a little while. 

tillamook ice cream

 heard about this brand fro a bit, saw it at target and decided to get it.

we got the vanilla bean one and it was OK. nothing special. breyers natural vanilla or blue bunny vanilla bean is just as good and usually a cheaper price.

krispy kreme doughnuts

 a long time ago wal-mart had prepackaged krispy kream doughnuts on a display stand near the checkouts. they got rid of them awhile back because krispy kreme sales were not that good.

well, a couple of weeks ago we see they had a display by the checkouts again. this week we decided to get a half-dozen.

there was a glazed, chocolate iced, strawberry iced with sprinkles, cream filled with chocolate icing, strawberry jelly filled, & chocolates iced with sprinkles.

they were not very good. we thought the strawberry iced was just pink & not a flavored thing. it had a strong scent that hits you in the face a bit, like fake strawberry will do with a kind of strong strawberry taste. and the filled doughnuts did not have much filling.

disappointing and we will not get again. 

valentine's day 2026

 hope you had a nice holiday and got some candy, or nice gifts.

if not, hopefully you can find something in the sales. if the stores didn't move out everything in favor for the easter stuff. 

just do not understand

 the weather in this case.

it is warming up to the 50s mid-week, but then it will get cold again.

and looking ahead in various on-line weather sites, it looks like the same thing next week.
