Tomatoes

Here are some pics of our upside down tomato plants, not the most attractive thing in the Firehouse sub pickle buckets, but hopefully they will produce great veggies. This is all Dave's doing, they would have already been dead if it were up to me. I can cook the food not grow it!!

Breakfast for Dinner

I have never been a fan of breakfast, especially for dinner!! I am not a fan of eggs, I only eat them in omelettes or in casseroles. They have to be well disguised, I will never eat them alone, never ever!! Also, pancakes and waffles are not high on my list, but for Dave breakfast is his FAVORITE!! So he requested it and I made it. I was talking to one of my friend's while cooking dinner and I told her the request and she said "What is he, 8?" I said "yes!" Anyways, it was quite good if I do say so myself. I made breakfast casserole see picture below as well as pancakes. I made plain for Dave and blueberry for myself. I think Dave ended up liking the blueberry the best. To top it off we had blueberry syrup from our trip to the mountains in December as well as venison sausage in the casserole from my dad. It was all very yummy!!

Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!

I am sitting on our back deck right now while Maggie is playing. Everything in our back yard is covered with pollen, everything including me now since my eyes are starting to itch. Hopefully we will get some rain soon!

Although I can't complain too much! This is probably my favorite time of year. The weather is perfect. The azaleas and dogwoods are blooming, gorgeous!! And I know warm weather will be here soon! I am a true Floridian, I hate cold weather!

Cheers to the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring tomorrow!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

This is early but better than late!! Actually Dave and I woke up thinking it was St. Patty's day today, I realized before I got dressed, Dave was already gone to work. He didn't realize until he started the corned beef in the crock pot this afternoon. So we had our corned beef and cabbage tonight, is that bad luck to celebrate early? Anyways, I hope your day is green and great!!

Happy Anniversary!

It made it a year in the freezer, it was Dave's idea to put the topper and the rings on it for the pic!! :)

I can't believe it has been a year. Time definitely flies! We celebrated our one year anniversary this weekend in Savannah, see the post following this, great time!!

Savannah, GA

Driving over Talmadge Bridge to our hotel on Hutchison Island

Ferry ride from Westin to downtown Savannah. Savannah is the 4th largest port in the world.

View of our hotel from Downtown Savannah. Thanks to Gina for the hotrate!!

Our first stop, Moon River Brew Co., good food and beer!

Downtown Savannah

Our hotel ferry

Check out the parking garage with the stairs to nowhere?!

City Hall, 24 karat gold roof

Savannah Cotton Exchange

Steep stairs, this picture cannot really show how dangerously steep the stairs are all over Savannah. Nothing in Savannah is level from cobble stone streets, stairs, thresholds, etc.

Yes, the uneveness of the city got the best of me. The place I hurt my foot, the uneven threshold!!

Love you!!

Dave loves mahi-mahi, so I took the pic for that reason. Now the pic also has more meaning for me, when we were on our Savannah trolley tour I learned the meaning of the pineapple in the south. It is a sign of hospitality, women used to put out pineapples to welcome guests or to let others know they were having a party. When they wanted the guests to leave they just took the pinapples away and that was the polite way to say the party was over/go home. Love it!!

Pic 1

Pic 2, they say Savannah is the most haunted city in the US. Look at this pic vs. the first one, see the white spot, that isn't the moon and it isn't in the first pic. I guess it is one of those ghost/aura things, spookie...
