Bi-Weeklure

I really enjoy opening the mailbox, every two weeks, to find the latest New Yorker magazine. I usually try to read the entire mag, sometimes in one sitting. The articles are well written and I do LOVE the cartoons, my favorites.

Fresh eggs

Dailure:  An egg in the morning with some good whole grain bread keeps me satisfied for many hours.

Rain beautiful rain

Dailure:  Florida has been in drought mode for a long time....today is the first time it's rained, all day long, in ages, the gardens love it, the lakes love it, everyone is happy.

Texas Wildflowers

Dailure: I went for a run this morning and the wildflowers were out...beautiful! Perfect run & perfect morning.

STRONG coffee

Dailure:  I've been drinking weak coffee, for about a month now.  I just purchased some strong, Columbian coffee.  I can not tell you what a difference in my day it makes!  Good coffee, first thing in the AM, aaaahhhh, aint nothing like it.

Daily Drag

Talking about money.

I'm the mother of a 20-year-old!

It's my daughter's birthday today and she is 20. How did that happen? I'm so proud of her and proud of myself for being the mother of such a fabulous and HAPPY young woman!

Not a daily delight, but oh... it's delightful

I just finished our TAXES!! Started working on them in January and after sitting down to work on them about a million times, I FINALLY finished em. AHH!!!!

Bar-B-Q'd shrimp on a grill!  So good.  Here's a recipe that I love:  In a bowl, mix lemon juice, onions, parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Throw in the shrimp (uncooked) for a few hours.  Put them on a skewer and grill them.  Don't overcook or they'll be rubbery.  Serve with good bread and a salad.
