Yes. Prices hit $7 a dozen this past week in Colorado.

Been $7.50 for a while here, but yesterday I noticed som brands at $4.50, so hoping the egg shortage has been broken.  And, painting potatoes for Easter?  Let’s do it and start a new fad.

We're paying $3.00 for 6 eggs.   What's the deal with egg prices?

There is a National egg shortage in the US.  Causes are claimed to be from Avian Influenza a few months ago.  Things in some parts are so bad that eggs are being smuggled into the US across the southern boarder…….. never thought we would see that!

They add a bit of fentanyl to each carton of eggs 😉

We found a 2-dozen carton of brown eggs for $6.99 at our local warehouse store last weekend. Decent brand too. We were excited! Even Aldi's price was over $5 for a dozen plain white eggs. Yikes!

We are paying about 5.29 a dozen here.......

Yes!  Thank you, Spins.  It was a cold and early morning at home today. And, it’s only warmed up to 5° so far at the lunch hour.

 Hi all,

Sorry I’ve not been about much, I had a busy couple of days at the end of my holiday and came home to the news that my Aunty had passed away suddenly from sepsis whilst I was away. Anyway I had the most fabulous time in India and topped it off with another fab night in Dubai at the end. A Stay at Palazzo Versace and the Prussian brunch was a lot of fun. Delhi airport was nothing other than Purgatory but that’s for another time. Lola, the Taj was an incredible experience. We skipped sunrise as it was going to be too misty so left it until 9ish so it was relatively quiet. There was a lot of chatter in India about things that are afoot in China and people seem to be quite jittery about the situation so that didn’t help. I Went back late afternoon in the vague hope of a sunset but instead the sun just gently dissolved into the sky. It was still magical though. I’ve just done my first little holiday vid of the Taj. 
 

 

M your meal looked lovely.

Lririo I’m sorry you were caught up in all of that.

What caught my attention--of course the Taj is incredible--"things afoot in China" scary to even think about.

Super wonderful video by Davey.  Sorry about your aunt.  Love the visuals, historic info supered on the screen, music, etc.  Wonderful.  Hope there are more videos to come from you exciting adventure in India.  Keep up the great sharing!!  Yes, things are "happening" in China that will keep people's attention for the coming years.  

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

We have -22 F days (-30 C) here.  On those days I stay in my pjs and ignore the outside.

Seconds on the compliments on the video DW, enjoyed it and watched a second time with wife.

[lincslady]

Thank you for the memories, Davey.  Almost more beautiful in the mist.

 

I remember Delhi airport well too;  not quite such a good memory.

My American friends will understand.

Won't be painting potatoes here - evidently we have a shortage of them here in Australia (although I've heard that it is only frozen products)

[mysty]

Greetings Coolers!

 

Today's funny.....

 

 

Have a great safe fun day all!

[Daveywavey70]

Thanks for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Todays little reel doesn’t quite have the same cultural importance when it comes to subject matter but it was a lot of fun. 
24 Hour stopover in Dubai

Haha, Maybe a little. I Stayed at the Strand Palace on my first trip to London as a wide eyed 17 year old!

Thanks for the great film DW, best 15 minutes of my day and the sun has set.  As the kids around here say today, best stopover ever!

That level of Hotel stays with you through life and tells you to never experience it again 😁
