sgmn Posted December 27, 2021 #42101 Share Posted December 27, 2021 It was very muddy and misty, pictures were taken at midday but it looks like late afternoon. Unfortunately the forecast here is for rain for the next two weeks. Hubby and I are having a lazy day today after the busyness of the last four days . 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Christmas Eve, Christmas starts for me with listening to Nine lessons and Carols from King's College . We were lucky to have both our boys and their partners with us at various times over the Christmas period. Nice family photo Sue.

Rare Lionesss Posted December 27, 2021 #42103 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Just wanted to take the time to say thank you for all the holiday pictures. From trees so nicely decorated to family and friends. When I look closely at the trees as well as stories they hold I see so many personal ornaments that must hold a special place in everyone heart, beginning with Andrew and Lisa in remembrance of their daughter, all the way to Graham with his memory tree. So many great traditions, in fact too many to mention here. Then of course all that food. And how can I forget the new additions to the thread. Mr and Mrs Sea Dog and their new puppies. They are blessed to be adopted by such caring people. But in the end, it is what Christmas time is all about. Reflecting on the past with family and friends and making new memories as time goes on. As for me, I truly am blessed in life and look forward to every day making it memorable. Take care. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted December 27, 2021 #42104 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) It looks like we are in for a great week in Ft. Lauderdale before our cruise. Getting breakfast cooked for everyone before going to the beach. Yesterday’s lunch was at The American Tapas Bar. Very good food and attentive service. A few food pictures. Crab cakes Lamb Oysters Chicken Mac-n-cheese Shrimp Po’boy Our rental does have a couple of Christmas trees, but no fancy, personal ornaments. Last night we were at the Sand bar grill, and watched the parade of ships leaving port. Of course, after the big lunch, I only had room for molten lava cake and ice cream. I don’t know why they gave me 3 spoons, it’s not like I was going to share. Maybe some beach pictures later, but this sure beats Pennsylvania this time of year.

Quite the spread. It all looks delicious. I am intrigued by the pickles with cheese and the stuffed mushrooms. Do you bake them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple of colourful & friendly visitors pop in for a visit I love the birds in your pictures! I have a great time watching the birds come to the "Bird Windjammer" in my backyard. I can watch them all day long! Ofcourse they are not tropical birds (northeast US) but very cute and colorful ones. Woodpeckers, cardinals, blue jays, this year I see red finches. And then the squirell wants his share too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary was using the time delay on his Samsung. The first two times he only set five secs, third was a winner with 10sec delay Here's a pic of her on our walk in the woods today, another extremely muddy walk Gary got her to walk the plank (tree trunk) It's at an angle over the pond.

Rare h20skibum Posted December 27, 2021 #42112 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The waves are very calm this morning, and the beach is not crowded. Two of the grandkids were up, but that west coast boy was still sleeping. I remember taking a photo like this of my grandson on his first encounter with the ocean, about 6 years ago. Somebody brought out the big sand toys. Our rental seems to be well equipped. 😂 I do like the shower in our rental master bath. The whole house is very modern. However, no one can get use to the square toilets. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched 3 of the Vacation movies and grazed on snacks. Homemade nacho dip, veggies, jumbo shrimp, and a cheese and meat plate. In the top centre of the photo you will find cheese covered pickle slices and mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese, jalapeños and bacon. Homemade spring rolls, pot stickers and dumplings with a pineapple sauce. Hot homemade buns, warmed Brie, bits and bites, handmade meatballs in the crockpot and grandma baked sweet goods. There was no meal, but we are fully stuffed. My very favorite type of meal! Cheese covered pickles is a new one on me. Do they taste like a cheeseburger without the burger? It all looks really good to me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially southern biscuits which are light and fluffy. Warm scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam take me to my happy place! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems out of place with the rest of the house style. Susan does like this lamp over the kitchen island, but it would never work in our house. Excuse the mess, but there are 9 of us living here this week. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
