Back to Florida

Am back in Florida... Fort Myers. First place I wanted to eat was Parrot Key Caribbean Grill. Definitely one of my favorites. A grilled veggie wrap served with sweet potato fries and a mango margarita! Sweet potato fries are DAMN good. I need to start making them!


Hoping Rose and the kids take plenty of pictures of Halloween costumes!

Strange times are these

So, the other day when I awoke and put the puppies' food out on the porch I found something unexpected... Jamie! 5AM and there was Jamie on the porch looking like she was taking part in a tornado drill except her hands were not covering her head but rather being used as a pillow.

"Whatcha doin out here Jamie?", I say. Sleepily she replies, "Can I have my chair?" I see no problem. she's asked to sleep on the porch before in her chair (her chair looks kinda like this, but no logos). 'Course that night it was around 40 degrees, so I insisted she wear a blanket. As soon as she laid down she was out. Not even Ginevra jumping up in the chair with her made her stir!!

I suspect she was too warm in her bed... I had been unable to get her to take Rosie's handknit sweater off. She was decked out in a sweater and sweatpants. Maybe taking these kids on a camping trip won't be so hard after all! HA

Pucca

So recently Jetix, Toon Disney at certain times, has a show called Pucca.

Was a little disappointed they talk in the tv show, but it is still good.

Crazy puppies

One of our puppies favorite things to do these days is chase each other. They always seem to run in circles. Usually they run circles around the couch in our living room. the image that comes to mind is one of those Looney Tunes shows... the one with sports where the bicyclers are going around around around around then stop .. look to audience "monotonous ...isn't it". Picture the kids and I standing to the side with our eyes going back and forth.

Just that alone is great fun, but the other night they changed their pattern. Ginevra and Remus were running the usual circle (shown in diagram as blue). Suddenly Remus dove into Rose's craft room (path shown in red). He became very confused.. his persuer was nowhere to be seen. Ginevra kept running circles around the couch. After a couple laps she stopped and tried to figure out where Remus was and was promptly tackled as Remus figured it out first. HAHAHA Very simple but much enjoyed.
