WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE DAVE AND KATHY?...

Tonight we decided to just make you drool...
In keeping with the "Game"....go ahead and guess where we 're eating.(JUST READ IT!)
After you've read where we're eating tell me where we are in Florida.
1. the establishment...
2. the area...
while your thinking , you can guess what I'm drinking too!....MMmmmmmm.(bonus point).
Who needs a main course when you can order amazing app.s like these...
Portobello, tomatoe, KILLER cheese and balsamic vinegrette over a bed of delicious greens

Brie in caramel and walnuts...served with strawberries and fresh melon along with the house bread!

I KNOW!!!!!!...Fabulous...

Saved a bite for you!....

For those of you who know I'm on W/Watchers....shhhhh!

I needed to keep my strength up!

If that excuse didn't fly...I've got a few more where that one came from!

Just tonight!

Promise!

What did you have this evening?

WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE DAVE AND KATHY?...

Good evening blogland!...
Okay...I'll give you this one!
FLORIDA IT IS!!!!!!...
In a later post I'll get specific as to this location and give you a peek inside this sweet place we're staying in...As for today....
the surfers were out by the droves.....mongo waves!!!!!!
tomorrow the word is 12 ft. and better due to Igor stirring up things way out there!
Magnificent....Powerful....Commanding.
I loved every minute on the beach today...walked for miles and picked up gifts from the sea all afternoon!
Took the camera for a walk today....this is a shot of sand and sea before the wave rolled over...


Mother Nature's hanywork after the ocean brushed the sand with her waves... and painted us this picture...
AMAZING!!!!
and I bet she's never even had a lesson!



A beautiful sun kissed day...a wild ocean...with sand in our toes....heaven.

Vacation activities...

I've never read Danielle Steel before...Sorry if your a fan...not my cup of tea.

The title sucked me in..."THE COTTAGE" and I found it at the GW, and thought ...I'll give her a try for a couple dollars.

Oh well, we can't pick a winner all the time!

Enough said.


My man's the Civil War buff......( a hint as to where we're headed next week!!!!)

So today there's not much to guess....BUT TOMORROW THERE WILL BE!

Hope your having fun!

We are!

TIL I RETURN....

Sweet Friends....finding it hard to fit blogging into my everyday life at this time...
Although Dave continues to feel well....my Mom is not and needs some specific care.
There is a season for everything in these lives of ours ...and right now I must let blogging go for a while.
Hoping you all enjoy the rest of the summer and as we head into fall I pray the richest blessings upon each and everyone of you.
Love you all as you have enriched my life so...You will surely be missed.
Til I return.....
Blog on Sisters!!!!!
xoxo~Kathy.

WHOOO...WHOOO...Doesn't like a good smile?

HOO......! HOO....!
Sometimes I enjoy just sitting down and making something totally querky and fun.
I saw this Childs Owl Pillow on a blog...(sorry , I can't remember where)...and tried my hand at one last evening.
You can't help but smile...
We have quite a few little hands and hearts to love on this little Hoooooo...ter!
Happy Tuuuuues-day!

I just heard this pillow idea came from AMY...@ http://keepnthesunnyside.blogspot.com

Thanks for the inspiration AMY!!!!!!

Out on the town...with a "HOTTIE"...

Downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan features a great selection of dining experiences for every imaginable taste...
Resently my man and I met our son and his wife for a little dinner at a restaurant they suggested...
NOW THERE'S A DOOR HANDLE !
They're know for their wide array of Pizza's.....with a huge variety of other choices as well.

Their fond of meat cleavers at One Trick Pony...You'll want to be on your best behavior!
I had an amazing shrimp salad....everyones food was out of this world!
I love it when the chef comes out to see how you liked his work!
We gave One Trick Pony ...8 fingers and two thumbs up!!!!



Lovely flowers outside...

Of course the best part was my HOTTIE date!....

Find an excuse...go out for dinner!

Adding a little FRENCH CHARM...

Using FOUND items to create a very FRENCH look.... Charming little bottle with stopper...GW.

Metals and Roseries....Garage sales, amazingly enough!

All sorts of unique bottles and vessels can be found at the GW and secondhand stores...

The two smaller jars held spices at one point...

Sachets of Lavender...ribbons, netting, shabby roses, buttons and pearls...

It all works...

Adding a little charm.....to the weekend...

xoxo~Kathy.
