Space shuttles, spoiled pups & Key Lime Pie secrets 🍰🚀

Hey Reader,

I had such a great weekend… we spent time visiting the oldest kid and our granddaughter - and managed to sneak in a trip to the new Air & Space Museum in DC.

Let me just say… wow. 🚀
If you’re ever in the area, it’s absolutely worth checking out.

My favorite part? That’s a tough one…
It was a toss-up between the Super Cub airplane (my dad used to build those, and I spent a lot of time as a kid flying around Alaska as a passenger - so that one hit a little nostalgic note 💛)
…and the Space Shuttle Discovery, which is just massive and incredibly impressive.

(Adding a pic because you really have to see it.)

Now… let’s talk about Mr. Coffee 🐶

He tried out a new boarding place while we were away… and let’s just say…
he now thinks he’s royalty.

They gave him his own bed to sleep in. A BED. 😄
So now we’ve got a dog who expects luxury accommodations at all times.

(I’ll let you decide what we call that… I’m going with “well-loved.”)

🍪 I Did Get Some Work Done… Promise

Even with all the running around, I updated a few fun posts:

We talked about something a little unexpected…

Did you know there was once a submarine base in Key West?

🧠 Trivia Time!

Last week’s question:

What unconventional “weapon” was used to declare war during the Conch Republic’s 1982 secession?

The answer: stale Cuban bread 🥖💥

But let’s be honest… it didn’t stop there.
There were also water balloons flying 💦 and probably a few conch fritters nearby 🐚🍤 - because in Key West, even a “war” feels like a party.

❓ This Week’s Trivia Question

Alright… this one might surprise you…

What color is Key Lime Pie supposed to be?

(Hint: it might not be what you think…)

That’s it for this week - a little space travel, a little island history, and a dog who now expects room service 😄

Cheers,
