Rain + Heat + Tides = Mosquitoes Ugh!!!!!! Here in Florida it appears we have the “perfect storm” so to speak, for breeding mosquitoes! The same ecological conditions that draw tourists and provide great fishing, boating and kayaking …also make for ideal mosquito breeding grounds! Ugh! These include our beaches, bays, salt marshes, rivers, tidal…
An Old Staple Becomes New…..Again! The Captain and I are somewhat adventurous when it comes to eating new foods. Actually, the Captain more than I, but when it comes to rice and beans….we love whatever combination we can find. Living in Florida has introduced us to Latin American foods. We have visited Puerto Rico, …but the…
How about Coconut Chicken? As many of you know, I love roast chicken, whether it be my own roasted chicken or one bought from the supermarket deli….it’s a perfect meal for any occasion. And I love the flavor of coconut milk so when you combine the two….Delish! I am always looking for ways to…
In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle….. Rain Rain Go Away….we have all heard that little phrase. And we are definitely in the Monsoon season here in Florida. However, what usually happens, is it rains in the late afternoon for a bit and then the sun comes out. This year is a bit different. We wake…
The Burger Voters Know….and even though the Captain and I did not vote on the best burger in the Cape…others did and we have to agree that this is one good hamburger. And it was voted best burger three years in a row….there is a sign that says so! 🙂 The name of the…
I’ve BECOME a Softee….!!!! A pushover…..A Doormat…..! Yep! That is me. One would think that as we age, we might become cynical….grouchy….irritable….and just plain onery! You know, kind of like Maxine! 🙂 But I am finding that as I age…. I have become a bowl of jello! Yep, just a great big softee! You see…
Yes, I Already Knew That…..:) My Captain’s Birthday! Yup, today is the Captain’s Birthday and we like to spoil each other for a full week…calling it a “Birthday Week”, because a one day celebration is just not enough! 😉 What our little “game” consists of is this: It is the responsibility of the non-birthday spouse…
“GGson” Show Off Time…..:) Over the week-end, “GGson”….(Great Grandson in simple English) went to the Lake for boating with his family and his Grandma! Below are a few pictures that his Gma (Grandma) sent his GG (Great Grandma)….that’s Me! Don’t ya love taking in code? Well, it isn’t really code….you grandmas and great grandmas know…
Shooting the Shell…. No, this isn’t about shooting guns or water pistols. No, this isn’t about shelling, although I love to roam the beaches here in Florida and pick up shells. This is about shooting a gunnite mixture that looks like cement…. out of a large hose that looks like a fireman’s hose…. and filling…
Chocolate Cake…. Wowser Wow Wow Wow! That is what I said after tasting the chocolate cake oozing with hot fudge icing! But, I am getting ahead of myself. The Captain and I like to frequent a chain restaurant for dinner …..”Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen” and it has proven to be pretty consistent in flavorful foods. The…
The #All Star Game…#Midsummer Classic! was last night….this is the baseball game that is played at the “Break” of the 162 game season and the team is put together with players from all the teams. Sorry, folks…if sports is not your game, but I just wanted to give a quick comment on this night of…
#ForeverRoyals Clean Sweep! All Four Tampa Bay Games!!! OK, Sports Fans…and maybe not some sports fans! I am going to have to praise the Kansas City Royals on winning all four games against Tampa Bay, finishing up the clean sweep yesterday afternoon! I love this team! And as you, my faithful readers know…I don’t…
