My Papi relaxing by the great fire his son built. Had a great night drinking wine and having wonderful conversation. Also got some real good lessons in astronamy, we were blessed with starry skies and my dad even remembered to bring his map of the stars and constellations. After a tough day out on the water it was a nice way to wind down.
Our accomidations!
The chilly beautiful morning!
A Osprey in its nest, wondering why this New Yorker with the camera is getting so close!!!
My double Amerillis, flowers never cease to amaze me.
The girls and me at Sterling Forest NY in January, EJ just let one rip! we thought it was very funny, we are very easily amused! Was a very nice hike that day, We acctually did more of the AP trail ( Appalacian Trail ) I also picked up a hitch hicker whom stuck with me for 2 days, a dear tick. He is no longer with us.
If you know my wife than you know how rare this picture is. She does not play video games, but on this day she just decided to vegitate with rosie at her side, I think she even won the game! you go Mommy!!!
My Rock and Roll little girl. Makes my heart swell with pride!!
Since I can't plant in the winter, I figured I'd start cooking. This dish is hammered chicken stuffed with spinach, feta cheese and various herbs, then wrapped in bacon to keep it moist in the oven. This served with pan seared asparagus and homemade creamed corn. ;) Mmmmm!!!!!!!
Now I have one of these standing in my living room, it's only about 3 ft tall. I thought that the called them rubber TREE plants just to be nice, never knew they actually grew to be trees!!!
Only a face a mother could love, kind of like me!
We spotted this guy from the van right before we put the kayaks in the water. We actually drove past him and then backed up and thankfully he stayed put and let me take pictures without fleeing or attacking, what an animal.
Power personified!! 
Someone crazy must have thought these dwellings up. Not only were they on this remote tip called cape coral, but they were built way to close to the beach area, which I'm sure was further away when they started. Looking like something out of starwars these long abandoned structures serve as a stark reminder.... some people are just plain stupid!

The revamped cieling. I do believe that we will just be keeping this area white as to not loose the detail of the woodwork and make it to busy for the eye. Walls will be painted and then the room will be accented with various plants... yeah plants, go figure.
Well here's the new ceiling fan that I installed. I liked these blade because they sort of matched the beaded board and wains cotting in the kitchen
Primed and waiting for it's new coat of paint, I wonder if stay at home moms have to go through this? ;)
