Friends

"A friend is someone who understands your past...

believes in your future...

and accepts you just the way you are.

I woke up nostalgic this morning. I'm missing my best friends.... so I just decided to post some pics of them....Because.....best friends just can't be replaced.

again....

"A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you

just the way you are"

To my friends.....I love you!

Let me tell you just how excited I am!!!

What do you do when a James Beard award winning chef comes to your house to stay????? This is her. Martha Foose, aka Fooseball

Well......first, I'm gonna clean the house like crazy, stock my refrigerator and my pantry like I know what I'm doin and cook her some of my spaghetti.

(previous blog)

DO YOU KNOW HOW NERVOUS THAT MAKES ME??

Then......she is speaking for a huge group and doing a book signing out here at Reynold's Plantation....

for her book Screen Doors and Sweet Tea. It's a MUST HAVE! Plus....she's really, really funny.

THEN.....she is going to be on the morning show in Atlanta and will be one of the chefs for the greatly respected Atlanta High Museum Wine Auction! She will be a guest chef at Canoe Restaurant in Atlanta.

but, the most important thing?(selfishly for me at least).....Martha and I are going to have an Ebelskiver cook off...sneak preview, these are mine:

Cindy S. is going to photograph the whole thing. (that's her with her sweet hubby Sykes)

If I win, my recipe goes in her next cookbook..( just [sorta] kiddin Mawtha) Can't wait to see what she comes up with!!! (she's actually a good friend so I'm really not nervous at all!)

stay tuned chickies....you don't wanna miss the Ebelskivers.....yummerlicious!

Fun in Hopetown on St. Patty's Day....then off to Marsh Harbor for a fun little party

It's good to be green.....

We were wearing so many different colors of green that the Irish would puke.

In the meantime....some pics of Harbortown, The Abacos...

Callen and Andy...again!!! (aren't they just so cute!)

The Lighthouse in Hopetown

I love pics of old equipment. This lighthouse was SO cool!

Moby's Deck

Friends at Marsh Harbor's FUN St. Patty's Day party

Callen and Andy again!

Watching them act really silly!!! WE LOVED THIS!!!

Captain Pete!

"Two new friends" (don't have a clue who they are,,,,but they're friends!)

one on the left is a plastic surgeon who looked at my eye yesterday. Hence no pics of me!!! He said I shouldn't go last night and should stay at home with a compress on it. I have a fever blister {very} near my eye......didn't stay home. He actually didn't think I'd want anyone to see me!! (I'm not THAT vain)

BOB

more later chickies!!! Including a recipe for this.....the best Shepherd's Pie I've ever had.

Chillin at Little Harbor in the Abacos

Just some random pics.....

OH how I miss Gregory, Jordan, Eric and Evey.....

SO wish they could be with us...(even though we would probably have to rescue Evey cause she would probably jump right off the boat. The kid LOVES water!!!

OH,,,Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!

Lynn and me having a few "island cocktails"

Emily and Alex

Callen and sweet Andy

Callen...."are you taking our picture AGAIN?????"

Moby's Deck, there amongst the boats!

OH the peace of it all!

We are relaxing for a week on Moby's Deck....our little water RV named after our dog Moby. Just messin around in the Abacos. Right now we are at Green Turtle Cay. A little windy..but BEutiful!.. I just had "Bianca's" famous Bloody Mary and now need a nap.....

because...... of this little Bloody Mary concoction right here....

"The Mean Bloody Mary Machine"

I managed to wiggle the recipe right out of her.(Bianca) ! It is OH SO {dangerous} hiccup GOOD....1 part vodka, 1 part rum, 1 part tequila,(yes 3 jiggers) the rest is a plain ole bloody mary mix and a dash of tobasco. rim the rim with salt/pepper mix. Add olives and celery.

CONK. (and I don't mean conch) (ME???? I ended up right smack on the couch)

Here's some pics!

Callen, Andy, Emily and Alex

Callen and Andy laughing (as usual!)

Last night's beautiful sunset!

bye chickies!!! I'll check in tomorrow!!!

The Show's Over

The Show's Over.....

and I'm....exhausted

to say the least.

So why in the heck am I up at 3:48 a.m.???? (and that's with the time change) Don't ask me! This has been the norm for the past week. Major insomnia. The Solo Show was just amazing!!! We had anywhere from 100 - 150 folks there and I sold 10 paintings! What an honor this has been and I feel just so thankful to all of those who came. I have tons of pics and will post them asap. We are headed to tour the Abaco's with 4 sweet young adults in oh about 3 hours. Guess that's why I'm up already. In the meantime this is what we sold! Unfortunately I don't have pics for all.

and.....on hold until March 17th

Sold
Still available

Have a great day chickies! I'll be back later today!
