Going South One More Time

Good morning,

Here we go again.  We're headed South from Ohio to Florida once again.

As we were leaving our own home town we encountered the first highway construction.  Yep, before we got out of town.  Hopefully, this will all be finished when we return in November.

So far, the weather and the traffic are great.

Stay tuned!

Last Minute Shopping Trip

Good morning,

We had some last minute shopping to be before we head out to sea again.

On the way to the outlet mall we stopped at IHop for some nutrition for our day.  ;)

We're not big on shopping.  We tend to park out of the way, walk into the mall near the shops we want to visit, shop quickly, and leave.

We did just fine. 

Stay tuned for travel pictures!

African Violet

Good morning,

This lovely African Violet bloomed so beautifully recently.  I am happy to be home to be able to care for it for a few weeks, but will be back at sea for awhile soon.

I look forward to being home again to care for the house plants even as the weather outside will be turning cold and gray.

Happy Birthday to My Honey

Good morning,

Today is My Honey's birthday.  We celebrated a few days ago by surprising him with pizza and this very special cake.

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

Love,
Lois

Home Cooked Goodness

Good morning,

The kitchen smelled wonderful all day last Sunday. 

The image above is my home made bread dough in the "first rise" stage.  It's sitting in the oven with just the light on, no extra heat.

My Honey made the cabbage and lamb.  Our large crock pot was filled to the brim.

Here's the bread back in the oven in the baking pans for the second rise.

And, here's dinner a little while later.  Cabbage, lamb, cranberry sauce, apple sauce, and bread.  I missed getting the boiled potatoes in the picture, but they were here, too. 

This is Norwegian Comfort Food.  It was all wonderful!

This is the last comfort food meal we'll have time to make before we go back to sea.  We won't starve there, either, but it's not the same as cooking at home.

All the best,
Lois

A Patch of Yellow Flowers

Good morning,

It's a bright, sunny morning and I'm working on these brilliant yellow flowers for a large afghan blanket.

What happy colors!

What are you working on today?
