My Perfect 10

Street Painting Festival

Today we took everyone to the Lake Worth Street Painting Festival. The town of Lake Worth blocks off the streets down town to local artists for two days while they work on these amazing chalk pictures. These were just a few of the ones we saw. They are really something to see. The crazy part is driving over all this hard work on Monday morning when the roads open back up!!! How cute are these two! Even the fire hydrants are colorful in Lake Worth! lol Like I said yesterday we didn't get to everything we had planned this weekend...we... Read more →

Saturday Adventure

We have a very full weekend planned and I am not too sure we will get to everything but I do know we will have lots of fun trying! Our Saturday started off with a drive to that Dunkin Donuts Diner Rick and I found last week. After a quick breakfast/lunch we decided to change plans a little a look for this state park we saw a sign for on the way up. John D. MacArthur is an amazing park! They had a great little nature center with fish, turtles, and snakes. Then you walked along this great bridge that... Read more →

Last Bonfire Of 2011

We FINALLY got all the girls to a bonfire...of course it's the last bonfire for this year. I am not sure who had more fun...the little girls playing in the sand, the big girls sneaking off to the water, or Rick playing with the camera! :) I have about 50 shots of us all eating pizza!!! lol It was a perfect night, not too hot, not too cool, a nice breeze, the sky was clear, and we were all together! I couldn't have asked for more. We were testing out some settings on the camera while at the bonfire and... Read more →

Part II Of Our Perfect Day

After we had lunch at the Dunkin Donuts Diner I told you we spotted this Ford Model A Museum in the middle of nowhere. They were just starting to put the cars back inside so we just made it. There were some really cool old cars from the late 1920's and early 1930's...Milk trucks, Mail trucks, even an old "brown" UPS truck! They really did start out BROWN! But the very best was watching Rick climb all over this... A 1931 Ford Model AA Tow Truck and it was even red and black just like his! He was like a... Read more →

A Perfect Day...

Rick and I took Wednesday off to get some very important things done (More on that a little later on...maybe next week or so), but then we had the rest of the day to just have fun! We went from one end of town to the other with no real plans to do anything. It was a perfect relaxing day. We stopped by the waterfront and went for a walk, played with the camera and settings and a new lens. That is until the battery died...my fault! lol I know, I know how could I have not one but two...

Arroz Con Leche

Tonight I made arroz con leche for the first time. I love the way the cinnamon and star anise spice smelled while cooking, of course cinnamon in anything makes it that much better! The recipe was pretty easy to follow but I think I let it get a little too thick. I'll have to give it a try again. The flavor was great but it came out a little more like pudding. It is great having fun in the kitchen again. I just love how creative you can be when baking! And we have some fun new gadgets to cook... Read more →

Mmmmm Chocolate!

These have to be the prettiest chocolates I have ever seen! After Jess and I left the Batmobile last night we walked around a little down town and this little chocolate shop caught our eye and of course we had to go in and check it out. ;) Each little chocolate looked more amazing then the last...until I spotted these beauties. Heart shaped milk chocolate truffles. They shimmered like glitter! Almost too pretty to eat...I said almost! lol I bought two, one for Rick and one for me. Jess is on some kind of crazy chocolate strike. Don't ask, I... Read more →

To the Batmobile!

So Rick calls me this morning and says...Guess what I am doing?!?! He is so cute when he gets excited about something! lol Now of course I know he's picking up a car but I go along and ask I don't know Hon, what? His answer...I am transporting the BATMOBILE!!!! Now me being the geek that I am needs ALL the details! The only thing cooler would be if it was Wonder Woman's invisible plane! ;) Turns out that there is an event going on down town to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the waterfront and the theme is...

Fun Dessert...

Rick and I have been working really hard together to build "Our Family" and make our place feel like "Our Home". I know first hand what it feels like to move into someone else's house and never feel like it's your home. I was told on a daily basis...It's my house, my rules, you don't like it pack your shit and get out! Doesn't that just make you feel at home? The happiest day was when the kids and I packed our shit and got out! :) This month Rick and I picked out some great patio furniture with enough... Read more →

Valentine Bear

Met my new Valentine friend! Monday night...Valentine's Day was Rick's late night so we really did not get to see each other. We celebrated over the weekend or so I thought. I came out of the bathroom Tuesday night to find this (NOT so little) guy sitting or taking up the whole bed actually. He was holding a bear sized card and my favorite coconut M&M's. Rick said, this bear was to cuddle with until he got home on his late nights. How sweet is he! I tell you he thinks of every detail. He says things that sound like... Read more →
