Sunday – Time to close the Pool
“and all at once, summer collapsed into fall” It’s always sad to see summer leave, but for me fall is the most wonderful time of year. Everything about fall is wonderful, the smells, the crisp air, and the delicious food. Today we closed the pool; it’s both sad and exciting at the same time. Our…
Sunday’s in September
“is it october yet” This is the time of year when I look forward to crisp Autumn days. I love everything about Autumn; the weather is perfect, the delicious comfort food, Halloween, Thanksgiving, football, and the excitement of getting ready for Christmas.

Lunchtime
“time for lunch” All I’ve been thinking about since I came home from Florida is the Ramen meal we had in Del Ray. I talked about it so much that Ronnie and Anthony decided they wanted to have Ramen for lunch. They were actually going to go without me until I mentioned that it was…

Last Stop, Captiva Island
“paradise isn’t a place, it’s a feeling”. -L Boyer I suggested on our last day in Florida that we go to the most beautiful beach on Captiva Island. I visited this beach a few years ago, and it’s something that you don’t forget; the beach is magnificent. The water is crystal clear and the sand…
Next stop Ft. Lauderdale
“find me under the palms” Time for Logan’s birthday dinner in Ft Lauderdale, it’s such a fun place to visit. My brother-in-law made reservations at a very nice restaurant, Luigi’s Tuscan Grill on Los Olas. With all different restaurants to choose from, this one was a good choice. For an appetizer, we had raw Carpaccio…
Lunchtime
“August it’s like the Sunday of summer” Another beautiful day in Florida. We decided to have a light lunch because we had plans to go to Ft. Lauderdale to celebrate Logan’s birthday. Logan suggested that we go to the Ramen Lab eatery for lunch. I love ramen noodles so I was excited to go. First,…
Morning Coffee
“but first, coffee” We started our day at a cute breakfast place called Howley’s. I had an omelet with grits, the mushrooms, cheese and bacon omelet was delicious and the grits were amazing. The small local restaurants are always the best to eat at. My daughter Logan took us to a Manatee Lagoon, but of…
