One of the blessings of our job/ministry is that we get/have to travel.
Sometimes we are so tired, we just want to go back home,
but other times we want to stay for a few more days…
The weather was interesting with a bit of everything… sun, clouds, storm, serene.
I took this photo (above) from a balcony, looking to my left…
This one (above) was a second later, looking to my right. Neither photo was edited in any way. They are straight from my phone.
We had lunch at a great place called Aunt Catfish. The food was so good!
They have what they call their Fixin’s Bar, which is a hot bar included with the meal…
cornbread, slaw, baked beans, stewed apples,
and my favorite: cheese grits!
YUM
I ordered the catfish plate. It was delicious.
It came with their sweet potato fries and an amazing sauce which had pineapple in it. That alone was worth going there.
The catfish was great…
But my FAVORiTE part, by far was their cinnamon roll!
Wow. It just melts in your mouth!
I wish this was a health food…
I’d buy a dozen!
I’m not sure when we’ll be back, but it was wonderful to be there…
I can still hear the sound of the waves.
Happy travels everyone 🙂
Love to you all, Daisy
Your pictures are spectacular. I would love to have some of that catfish and everything else except maybe the grits.

You don’t like grits?? It took me while to like grits… I’d never had them until after I was married and moved to where “Southern Cookin'” rules. I tried everything at first… adding salt, jelly, honey… but I finally figured out how the Southerners like it, and now I love grits… especially cheese grits! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Lillian. I liked your vacation posts so much that I told a friend about it who also lives in Ohio. I thought she might like to visit those places you talked about, too.
Makes me miss the beach. I grew up in Jax, Fl which is close to Daytona. Thanks for taking me back with your pics!
Wow! I’ve never been to the beach in Jacksonville, but I’ve heard it’s beautiful! We used to live close to the beach and would go on our day off, have sandwiches on the shore and maybe go fishing at the pier. The kids had a wonderful time. It was a wonderful place to “recharge” and refresh!
The ocean does that for me…recharges and refreshes. thanks!
Your beach photos are gorgeous! And then I started salivating — I sure wish I was near that catfish place tonight! I think I would eat just from the fixin’s bar!
Haha! Yes, their fixins bar would make a wonderful meal!
What a fun post!! That lunch looked over the top delicious (even if it wasn’t health food). and loved, loved your beach pictures. I had a friend from Florida and asked what she missed most about living there and she said “clouds.” I think you captured those so beautifully.
Yum! Now I feel motivated to go cook dinner. 🙂 Enjoy your time away, Daisy.
