Maggie Moo's

We had a horrible, bland dinner at Champps [(maybe the double 'p' should have clued us in) afterwards  husband looked them up on Urbanspoon, if we had looked first we would not have stopped].  So we treated ourselves to some Maggie Moo's.

Being the great guy he is, he let me choose my two ice cream cupcakes first. :)  I shared them with my MacBook, lol.

Wish us luck, it's an early morning as we make our way to Afton Alps to participate in the Warrior Dash.  If you're not familiar with it, it's a 5k mud run with obstacles.  Should be loads of fun, and loads of mud.

Celebrating Life!  Is there any better reason for celebration?  Some days, just being thankful that I'm not in pain, I'm breathing, and I have a roof over my head is simply good enough!

I couldn't resist snapping more photos of these colorful delicious treats!  Aren't they festive?!

Yummy cupcakes!!

Swamps, Birthdays and Grandkids

I'm nearing the end of Florida photos, promise. :0) I loved spying alligators in so many places!

And bromeliads! Everywhere! A few were even in bloom.

Another gator.

There's probably a gator hiding in there somewhere, but I didn't venture closer to find out.

Bromeliads were hiding there too though.

Now, each time I share one of these close up gator photos you guys get nervous. I assure you that I was not in any danger. In fact, this photo was taken from the safety of the car. I have a 400mm lens I use a lot, so I could get close up photos of these dangerous creatures without being too close.

And it was here, with water on each side, birds above and below, gators to the left and bromeliads to the right, that we paused long enough to eat my birthday cupcakes. Thanx again Chris for being so thoughtful!

Would you want to celebrate anywhere else?

Last Friday we celebrated another birthday - our youngest turned 18 and we had the family over for a cookout. Addy, Velcro baby, stuck close to mama.

But the precious lil man, my beloved Twister, stuck to me. As his parents gathered things up to take the kiddos home, Tristan looked at me and said, "I bein' good", I agreed that he was, so he followed with, "I 'tay here". You bet your boots he stayed, lol.
