Spring Fever

Now that the cold weather has left South Texas (for good I hope) I find myself daydreaming of spring, my favorite time of the year. I'm wishing for the Hill Country and the wonderful display of wild flowers. My dear friend Martha and I try to meet there for a "photo shoot" and just plain fun at least once a year. I was looking at my photos this afternoon and thought I would share some with you all. Most of them are made in and around Fredericksburg. Maybe you will look at these and get "spring fever" too.

What's For Dinner?

Finally able to walk without my crutches! Foot almost well. What a great feeling to be able to get back in my kitchen. I have a big chicken cooking in the oven, potatoes baking and zucchini, onion, red peppers and mushrooms tossed with olive oil and spices baking too. And for dessert.............

the rest of my Valentines cake the kids brought (I know....sugar, sugar sugar but to good to resist).  Sounds yummy to me.......

Fancy New Printer------and they said it would be easy!

Hey! I am so excited! I have a new eprinter. Sat down to get it all installed today. I was so excited to know I would soon be able to print from my wonderful iPad (if you don't have one yet get one....it's great). The set up went well, hooked up to my wireless network with ease and printed from the iPad and my Windows laptop without a hitch. Will NOT work with my 8 year old Mac desktop which is where I get my wireless connect. Apple says I need to upgrade to a higher OS system or get a new computer. Now I have to decide if I want to spend the money for an iMac or just get a Windows desktop for half the price......BUT IT WOULDN'T BE MAC!!!! If it's not one thing it's another........

Sea Turtle Rescue

The cold here in Texas has been hard on our sea life. More than 400 endangered green sea turtles have been rescued from the cold waters. They will be released to warmer waters offshore. We are so thankful for all the wonderful people trying to save these beautiful creatures.

My Yummy WW Breakfast

Just had to share my favorite Weight Watcher breakfast,,,,,,,,two fat free whole wheat waffles, 1/4 cup fat free ricotta cheese, some fresh blackberries, a little cinnamon and 1/8 cup sugar free maple flavored syrup. Yummy good and only 4.5 points. It's a struggle but I'm hanging in!

Salsa time

Today would be a good day to make my yummy salsa. If only I wasn't to lazy to get dressed in warm clothes and venture out to the store. It's much easier to stay under my quilt with a cup of tea and a good book. Our little island store was just remodeled (it was much needed) and the produce section is so nice. Lot's of new stuff to pick from.

Winter is here

Well, winter has finally made it's way south. I know our "Winter Texans" must be laughing at us but it's COLD here! My poor fruit and palm trees are looking sad. Hope the ice doesn't kill them.
