Scarves, Bandanas, Pashminas Oh My!
Friends, I have a confession to make. I not only love scarves, I have way too many of them. I only came to this realization recently. My sweet friend Susie and I have been trying to pare down our closets. We decided if we worked on these areas a little at a time we would…

Florida and Lilacs? The Color Purple? Maybe!
Friends, having a Fresh Lilac Tablescape is impossible in Florida. However, a few florists have lilacs shipped in from Holland in the Spring at about $150.00 A SPRIG! Whoa! So it is possible if you want to spend that kind of money, and I choose not to do that. But… If you have been following…

welcome to Me and My Captain
.Hello! I’m Kari. Founder and creator of Me and My Captain.
Welcome to my blog and to a diverse community of wonderful people who love life, their families and their homes….and they love to eat. As for me, I am the wife of a pilot (my Captain) whose motto is: “A mile of a road will take you one mile. A mile of a runway can take you anywhere.” … I am also a mother to adult children who have families of their own and live in the midwest, while we reside in sunny, SW Florida. We also have (at last count) 7 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren who are our pride and joy. I love to cook, decorate and design our home and most importantly, I love the Lord….who is our ultimate Captain. I started this blog as a way to share and swap recipes with not only my children, but our friends and family members. I love to entertain and I was so happy to see that many others shared this same passion. We have grown together. Friends soon learn that everyone is welcomed into our home and I hope you as a reader feel the same. So, pull up a chair at my virtual table and lets chat…confessions- over the hedge so to speak.
Additional Things you might like to know about me: I am also a pilot, although I now leave the flying to the Captain. I worked for Boeing for over 26 years. My faith is very important to me and the Captain and I are very active in our church. I had Pancreatic Cancer and went through the Whipple Surgery and am now 5 years cancer free. I teach a Ladies Bible Class in my home every Friday and I always make them a dessert and lay out a pretty themed vignette. I love to garden and decorate our home and read books where I can touch and smell the pages. I am also an online shopper and have been long before covid. I also love to eat good ole’ comfort food.
