Good morning, to all you bestest people in the world! We are going back to the mountains for the day...I'm taking the camera and will get a couple pics. Have a great day. Will be back online tomorrow. That's grandpa's dinner out with the kids and grandkids, for his birthday (after the fact). He got to pick so we are going to Long Horn, they have great steaks. I like the baked sweet potatoes with butter, and salad. Yummy.

have lots of fun!

I am starting to wonder. Am I the only one who buys rotisserie chicken to shred as a cheat for chicken noodle soup?

Yes, we usually just boil fresh chicken with spices

 

[Cesar R M]

That might be a good use of the chicken, I love enchiladas. Often I take a bag of chicken and put it in the crock pot with seasoning and use that for my enchiladas. There is often plenty left over to put in the freezer for another batch or two.

You can also get fresh tortillas.. put some chicken in, roll the tortilla, fry it in oil.. and voila! you get fresh hard shell tacos! (eat with sweet cream, shredded lettuce, onion, salsa picante and some tomato salsa with oregano)

I swear this store looks almost identical to the one in the port-front in Ketchikan in Alaska (sans Yellow and style wise)

Huh funny. I would have thought it would be a tackle shop/souvenir shop.

I wondered the same lol.

@donaldtoo Thanks for the vicarious beach vacation. Love your pictures. What is with that shark's nose? LOL

I think its a Goblin Shark.
and those are TERRIFYING.

What makes them Amish?

The person who cooks has to have a horse wagon and beard to make it " Amish"

In other news.. we celebrated my sis bday today.
Was good to get her to Outback.
But annoyed that they ran out of Bloomin' onion and their wings are not very spicy.
Still, had my favorite steak with extra sauce

I will buy rotisserie chicken fresh and hot as part of our dinner but for soup etc. no I don't do that, Gran would reach down from heaven and slap me upside the head.

The second most popular form of ground/beach transportation down here...

I can't even describe how relaxing this trip has been.

Hope you're all well..!

So freak'n awesome! My only question is why the heck are you up that early on vacation. You need sleep!

Well yes, the exploding main sewer line that exploded like a valcano on the front of my property missed me.

Time for a condo in Florida. I can dream.

My kinda shop!

Reminds me of the ones in Florida along the highways near rest stops when I was growing up. Have not driven to Florida in 30 years, wonder if they are still around???

 

[Figgy1]

Ah, band camp! Such fond memories for me...and no, I don't have any stories that start with "This one time, at band camp"!

No band camp for me, I got stuck with the violin. Talk about stereotyping!

That sounds like fun! I always like a meal I don't have to cook. It's Farm Market Saturday! YEA! Then it's I hope the boys get their chores done quickly so we can go to the pool and maybe a movie tonight.

Good morning all! I hope all of you have a magical day. Today I'm floating around singing In Summer!
