Catching up the blog

 
As our family moves away from heavy meat meals for the holidays, we embrace new ideas.  Sis held the Christmas holiday but is a vegetarian.  Hubby and I offered meat but let family select.  Nephew wanted red fish on the half shell and generously offered us his bay house to catch some.  It was a great weekend.  Sis and BIL was able to be at their bay house thus making it a great time.
 
 
 
So you see the fish and we added shrimp for variety.
 

My nephew and husband.  I am lucky to have so many men in my life that I admire.  Don't get huffy on me ladies, we know we are fantastic but finding great men is hard.

The day was fantastic.  I so love my beautiful family.  I'm kind of the underachiever screw up but they love me anyway and treat me well.

I don't know how mom got this arch when daddy was doing the fence at their house.  I know they were didn't have much so this arch and gate had to be a special treat for my mom.  I remember her planting roses and they always seem to fail.  I tried something simpler (I have no green thumb) and they are thriving.  Simple little yellow flowers and I feel momma smiling.


This is my tiny house.  My childhood home and now my last house.  I didn't come home to relive my childhood (I don't remember much) or to have this special connection.  I moved here to simplify my life, to have a little land to grow things, but most of all to have some peace from living in a subdivision.
Feeding the birds. 
 
Thanks for coming by.  Have a good week.
