The drive we take to go to the Farmers’ Market is really a delight for me…

It’s away from the city, down quiet, secluded roads.  I sigh several times, the tension just falling off;  the “world” is left behind with all its noise and demands.

 

Even the fence posts look pretty to me!  🙂

 

The directions are clear and easy to read 🙂

 

We get to visit with old friends.

 

I’m surprised we don’t have to pay a toll on this road (like all the highways around here).  I think I’d like to sit under that tree and sip a little ice-cold lemonade while watching the horses nearby.

 

There they are.  I think I’ll stay here for a while.

 

Happy Monday!

Winston

Last weekend we were able to go for a short visit to see friends…
They introduced us to their dog, Winston…

Winston is a big doggie, but a sweet and oh so nice, doggie.
Just look at that face!

 

 

As we (the humans) talked & laughed, had some coffee and/or iced tea…
Winston tried to look uninterested but failed miserably.  He couldn’t keep his eyes off me and my camera. At times he looked a bit scared, but mostly he was just staring.
I wonder what he was thinking…

 

 

I guess he finally just gave up trying to figure me (and my camera) out and decided to relax.  “Maybe she’ll go away soon.  I think I’ll just take a nap until then.”

I liked Winston.  He is a beautiful dog and the perfect gentleman. 🙂

Happy friday!

Birthday!

Today is my husband’s birthday.
This is one of only two photos we have of his early childhood.

Even then, he didn’t like having his picture taken.

 


Here he is with his family.  He is the younger brother.
What a cutie!

It’s fun to look at old photos.

I am so thankful for my husband.
He is my best friend and a wonderful husband and father.
Happy Birthday, Honey!
I love you!!

I really enjoy taking photos on a flight.  Depending on what part of the world you’re flying over, the scenery can be pretty spectacular.


I think I see the house we stayed at…

 

The colors!…

 


As we get farther away from the coast and climb higher, I’m disappointed…

These vistas are usually seen only at the beginning and ending of a flight, when the “cruising” altitude has not been reached.  Wouldn’t it be great if we could fly at this altitude the entire time so we could see this beauty all flight long?!

I think I’ll buy my own little plane…

Happy flying,
Daisy

Today, I made cinnamon rolls…

The whole house smelled so good!  There’s nothing like the smell of bread or rolls baking.

 

Are you hungry yet??

 

I made enough to share with my neighbors across the street.
They were very appreciative. 🙂

 

I topped them off with cream cheese frosting.  It’s so much better than the
plain sugar icing.  These rolls go really good with coffee. 🙂

Go ahead and have one.  You can start your diet tomorrow.
Like I am.

Happy eating,
Daisy

One thing I like about Mondays is that I get to go to the Farmers Market!

This Farmers Market is huge!  There are hundreds of vendors and also a very large Flea Market section in the back.  You can find anything here from socks to tomatoes.  It’s like a gigantic outdoor department store!  And so much fun!!  I think my favorite section is the antiques area where you can find lots of interesting items.  However, today I didn’t have time to go back there so I just went straight to the veggies and fruit which was what I came for.

 

Everything is so fresh.  Lemonade anyone?

 

The peaches are so sweet and juicy!  I’m thinking..peach cobbler… oh yeah, I’m supposed to be on a diet.
The cherries are one of my favorites so we bought 2 lbs for $2!

 

There were lots of cherries.  We walk up and down the aisles looking for the best prices and produce.

 

I couldn’t believe all those radishes for $1!!

 

 


If you’ve never had a Florida avocado, I suggest you do.  They are delicious!
And those hot peppers? I like to put them in a bottle with garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. You can use the oil for dressings and the peppers in anything from scrambled eggs to chili.

 

 

Watermelon and summer.  Can’t wait to make frozen watermelon treats!  My favorite!
Just blend watermelon, sugar, ice, and a little water.  Pour into ice cube trays and freeze for a couple of hours.  Place 4-5 in a glass and serve with a fork. Use the fork to break up the cubes.
My Dad made these for me when I was a little girl.  I can’t make them as good as he did but close enough.  They are so good when it’s hot outside! Very refreshing! 🙂

 

 

Beefsteak tomatoes!  All I can say is, “Wow!”
 

My husband likes asparagus so we got 2 bunches for $3.
 

On the way out, I snapped this photo. The peaches were calling me.

Dinner tonight was delicious… nothing like fresh veggies.

Happy marketing, 🙂

Last week, for our anniversary, my husband took me to Cheesecake Factory.  If you have never been to this restaurant, you should definitely make plans to go. They have great food, but of course their specialty is cheesecake.  They offer more than 30 flavors of cheesecake.  Yes, 30!

As you walk into this beautiful place… right there on display, are just some of their fabulous cheesecakes.  As you wait for your table you can see and decide which one you will have for dessert.  (Notice I didn’t say “if” you have one, but which one you will have)

Oh my.

Decisions, decisions…

Gasp!

I don’t know if I can do this… choose just one??

This is torture.

Triple  Cho-co-late?  Uh, oh.

My husband, who’s better at making decisions than I am, chose the “white chocolate caramel macadamia nut cheesecake.”  The menu describes it like this: White Chocolate Chunk Cheesecake Swirled with Macadamia Nuts and Caramel on a Blond Brownie Crust. ”  Because we had a full meal (which was also delicious!) we thought it best to share one slice of cheesecake.  We knew it would be substantial.  And it was.

All I can say is… Mmmmmmmm.

Oh and yes, my husband also got me flowers.  Beautiful.  
What a special day!  Roses, cheesecake, and a handsome date… Wow!

On the serious side…
I am so blessed to have married my best friend.  I thank the Lord for him everyday!

Happily married, 🙂
Daisy 

P.S. If you have a recipe for any of these cheesecakes, please let me know! 🙂
