Wednesday's Wicked Weather

Man, did we have a storm on Wednesday afternoon.  It lasted a couple of hours with serious wind, rain and lightning.  Wish these pictures could have reflected just how bad it got here....

Dom's Garage is Finished

Man, these guys worked fast!  It's finished.  Now, as soon as it gets cool, we can restore the game room back to how it was.

I was thinking about doing some landscaping along the side of the garage, but think I might just plant alot of garlic instead.

Mallard Ducks and Deer Sausage from Breaux Bridge, LA..... DELICIOUS!

I'd mentioned in a prior post that my Cajun girlfriend, Vickie, loaded us up with goodies.

On Saturday, I put this together.... 2 Mallard Ducks and 2 links of Deer Sausage, on a bed of chopped celery, onion and garlic.  Loaded it up with black and cayenne pepper and a little salt.  Put in a BIG blast of Cabernet.  Cooked at 250 degrees all day.  Served with white rice.

OMG!  One of the tastiest things ever to come out of my kitchen.  I regret that I did not show it plated, and the "after" picture has some leftover rice in it.  (Dem gizzards and hearts were out of this world, Cher!)

Back to the Beach Week 2- SERENITY NOW!

Hi gang....

A quick report on Week 2 at the beach.  I was originally going to come back home a day or 2 later than Vickie, but I felt cheated.  Whined to Dom over the phone that the water was gorgeous, had gotten plenty of sun but no swimming time.  "Nanette.... I don't give a shit.... stay another week if you want".    (He didn't have to tell me twice... yippee!   Man, I've got a great husband!)

Went down to our exercise room every morning and worked out on my abs and hips.  Told Dom that he's gonna have a "hard-belly" for an old lady!  (This, btw, delights him.... can see my flatter gut already!).

Enjoyed the steam room several times, and stuck with my new healthy diet.  Might have bummed 5 smokes at the bar the entire week.  This E-Cigarette is "the bomb"!  Love it....

Hung out on the beach all week.... glorious.

Tropical Storm?  What tropical storm?

Check out the eye-contact from a couple of these fellas.

Would make a daily afternoon visit to visit Donn across the street, then back in the condo by 5 or 6 every afternoon.   Truly an enjoyable week.  Even broke the rules and fed my seagulls a few times.

Enjoyed the solitude!  As Seinfeld's Frank Costanza would say, "SERENITY NOW!!!!!"

Kitties in Boxes.... aka "time to clean windows"....

My Jada and Mimi.....  and a catalyst for cleaning my windows!
