Wishing you a SUNNY day!

We are having a BEAUTIFUL day in PCB! Finally a day without rain! How could it not be an amazing day when it started like this...

We had a pretty productive but drab weekend. We were hoping to go to Port St. Joe on Saturday to collect some scallops, but the weather had other plans.


So, instead we added another section to our dock out back. This will give us an advantage over the catfish ;o)


While driving to the lumber yard, my jeep (Helga) hit 100k miles!


This weekend we are driving to Gainesville/Cedar Key. We cannot wait to see our friends and eat all of the delicious food that we took for granted while living in Gainesville. Stops include: Mi apa, La tienda, Gyros plus, and Caribbean Spice. We might hit up Dragonfly too...if we're lucky!

Light up my Life!

With Jim gone all week, I spent most of my days painting. I finally finished the living room. With the walls being so much lighter, it really brightens up the room. See for your self!

Paneling no more

I've been trying to "modernize" our new home over the past week. I've decided to paint over the wood paneling that currently covers every wall in the house. I am happy to say, that after 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint, I finally won the battle in the kitchen!!! Below are before and after pictures. Next challenge: the living & dining room!

Updates!

With Jim gone during the days, and me stuck at home without a car...for the time being, I've been acting like a 1950's housewife. I've been baking up a storm :o) In the past 2 weeks I've made 2 batches of cashew baklava, chocolate chip cookies, and a gooseberry pie! Jim and I need to hit the gym before we start packing on the pounds.
