Have you seen the tshirts, like the one Tiki Bar wears in her avatar? I almost bought one for the concert at Alpine but I chickened out at the last minute!

Strawberry Daquiri
Pina Colada
Margarita

I know they can be purchased in bulk online but it is nice to be able to get them at the local grocery.
They're available in western Wisconsin (La Crosse) in at least one store here called "Woodman's" — there are other Woodman's across southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, so you might find them there as well.

Man, that place is monstrous. It has just about everything! I love crossing the border for a Woodmans run.

Found at the grocery store today fruit snacks by Bety Crocker called, Shark Bites. They are in the shape of sharks!!

Price: If I'm remembering correctly $2.79

Perfect for a keet treat. Perfect for an adult PH to snack on as well!!

Personally I'd like to mix them with another fruit snack I found a while ago for Pirates Of The Caribbean. It had shapes like: treasure chest, ships wheel, fish etc.

Ok, driving down the interstate this weekend a truck was in the fast lane and in our side mirror we could see quite clearly the front grill work which had on it the image of an open mouth shark!! Of course that gave me a bit of a start and I called out, Landshark. Next thing you know Pat and I are singing and doing "FINS". Trucker had to be a PH cause he beeped as he passed and saw us and blinked his lights. It was still daylight so I'm sure he saw us.

Not sure if the image was white vinyl or if it was painted on. So when we had a chance we tried researching it on the net. I couldn't find out anything about that but did find a few references to hula skirt mud flaps for an RV or trailer truck. So I know they exist. But can't find out where to purchase them. Has anyone seen these. They sound totally cool.

In one post I read, somone said they saw them on a UPS delivery truck in Nevada.

Would love to get a set for a motorhome. Also a set for a car if they make them.

Target hasw started their end of summer clearance on the following items:

Kids water toys

sumer outdoor dinner ware/ pic nic ware


Found in the Target pet department a vinyl alligator (dog toy) on it's side is a no surfing sign. Again we're thinking about adding it to our car back window collection.

Target's house brand Archer Farms has strawberry mango fruit snacks.
