Remembering 1977

GREETINGS!  Today, I'm sharing with you a momentous occasion that occurred this week.....namely, my husband and I celebrated our anniversary.  Not just any old anniversary, but our 35th!  Here's a picture from that day as my new brother-in-law, Jay, proposed a toast at our wedding reception.



The room was Caesar's, and was filled with red and purple velvet upholstery.  But, it was the only place where you could look down upon the white, sparkling sand and emerald sea of the Gulf Coast of Florida.  The actual wedding was on the beach at "sunrise" (but you know we're not really morning people...I admit, I was a little late) on the beach at Destin, Florida.  The closest hotel with a view way back then was in Fort Walton Beach. 

We wanted everyone to have a glass of champagne, but my parents refused to fund alcoholic beverages, so we paid the tab ourselves.  It was a small wedding, so we might have felt differently about supplying it for 150 people.

This year, we just had a leisurely day walking around St. Augustine.....of course, that was after our puppy, Bella, reached up onto the nightstand, grabbed Terry's hearing aide and destroyed the plastic part.  Thankfully, he was able to get a new replacement part right away.  (Wow, that makes us sound really old, doesn't it?)




We found this nice courtyard near St. George Street, the main shopping & eating strip.  It was nice, especially with the fountain, shade & a cold coke.  Apparently, it had been there for 8 years!  We at lunch at the Columbia Restaurant.  The home of some excellent Cuban Cuisine.  A nice tourist offered to take our picture.

PHOTOTIP: When you're on vacation, try to take a photo that shows something besides you in front of  __________ (fill in with the Great Pyramid, Eiffel Tower, ocean, polar bear, etc).  I hate those pix.  Be in the photo if you must, but don't be the main attraction.  Move over to the side, or have a picture of you looking at the big attraction for a change.

BLESSINGS!

A Bird in the Hand ??

GREETINGS!  It's hot, but rainy all week down here in Jax. Last night was the monthly North Beaches Art Walk. We were almost drown in the deluge at Archway Framing. But I did meet some fun artistic  people and enjoy a glass of wine. Now on to the bird...

We have a screened porch off of our family room. We got a puppy at Christmas, as you may or may not remember - Bella (Bichon Frise mom ... << MORE >>

Carrot Jerky, anyone ?

GREETINGS!  We had some refreshing rain today....a nice break from the heat that's here to stay around until September.   There was hail on the other side of town Sunday. Gonna be a long summer...
Here's praying for NO hurricanes.

We got Cable a couple of years ago---I know, we were almost the last Americans to surrender. We enjoy watching some of the cooking shows like Chopped, Cupcake Wars, Last Cake Standing, Iron Chef once in ... << MORE >>

Hutcheson Plantation Encore

GREETINGS!  We've been hot & cool down here. Starting to warm up and return to normal hot Florida weather. I'm working for Demand Media, recruiting experts and spending lots of hours on Linked In looking for more. DM creates videos for eHOW.com. I'm also submitting images to a photography agency out of Australia, and I'm taking an on line class on building ... << MORE >>

Wild turkey, Reindeer & a Dixie flag

GREETINGS!  I missed you last week. We ended up on a little adventure I'll share with you. We went to a strange and wondrous place ---just over the border---into Georgia, that is. Just a little over an hour from Jville.           

This is Hutcheson Plantation.   It's a place kinda out in the middle of ...

Art Shows - the good, the bad & the ugly

GREETINGS!  It's heating up down here. Lovely weather in the morning and evening. The perfect time to visit the beach while there's still a bit of a breeze.

I'm about to be part of four art shows. I have 4 pieces at the BETHEL GALLERY located in a large beautiful church, Ponte Vedra Presbyterian. It's "Welcome to God's House," by the Shades of Grace artists. They are actually anyone who would like to participate appropriately. ... << MORE >>

Working the Light

GREETINGS! It's just beautiful! It's spring break for some of the school around Jville, so we are taking turns with each fabulous grandchild. They each like the water, so I've been to the beach more this week than I've been in the last six months. We wait until late afternoon when it's less crowded, but then about 5 pm, lots of people are walking their dogs. (Definitely, fodder for another blog.)

Since ... << MORE >>

Two Texas Beauties



GREETINGS! We're having some great weather down here---mid 70's but you would swear it was hotter! I've been spending a lot of time sitting at my computer looking through job sites, hundreds of images and submitting some to Image Brief.   It's a business out of Australia that connects photogs with companies looking for images.

Beautiful Bikes?

GREETINGS!  This week has been clear, warm and just as lovely as you might hope north Florida might be at the end of winter. Pushing 80º and surfers as well as sun worshipers flocking to the beach. Thursday we were enjoyed a bit of breakfast at Beach Hut, next door the Bike Shop. They frequently put their wares out to attract customers. The bikes range in price from $99 for an old school no ... << MORE >>

Words of Wisdom

GREETINGS!  It's hot & sunny down here with beautiful blue skies. You should come visit. Just a quickie  this week because we've been watching the Republican Primaries and the Fox News coverage which does get a bit redundant, I must say.
