HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!! I’m still working on the early birds as we speak, so this list is going to get bigger, but OMG THREE from our favorite authors already went LIVE so even if it was just these three, this list is awesome. 😉 LIKE THAT ONE TO TO THE LEFT!!
THREE THINGS:
1.) I went paddle boarding again yesterday for three hours, and saw the springs and saw manatees (one HUGE ONE was right next to my paddleboat and came up for air, and then went back down but his huge tail did a nice flipping mermaid thing on his way down). HOLY MOLY it was a beautiful thing to see but I was just a bit nervous that he’d knock me off my board. LOL!! Also no sunburns except for a few spots on the top of my feet. Ooops.
2.) It was a fun time however on our way back to our starting point we had to fight some serious wind that was going against us the entire way, and it was HARD. So much effort to get back, coupled with all the boats flying past us and making huge waves for us to battle. But it was so fun anyway, and I feel stronger because I did it.
3.) Saturday I went to a fun outdoor retirement party and hung out with some great people and ate amazing Thai food. 🙂 Now… it’s time for coffee and to get back to work. 😉

1. It’s too early and I don’t want to get up. That’s it, that is all three things.
LOL!!!!
I’ll take it. 😉
1. My Mexico flights were changed by the airline and they had me on a ridiculous overnight layover to go to the Yucatan from Texas. 🙄 So now I’m leaving a day earlier, but I think I’m OK with that!
2. I’m making trout with tzatziki and Greek salad for dinner tonight.
3. I started Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane over the weekend and almost DNF’d but decided to read ONE MORE CHAPTER which then kept me up past 3am.
OMG! Yesterday I had blackened grouper at a Louisiana style creole restaurant and they gave me “tartar” sauce (which I don’t like) but I tried it and it tasted like tzatziki (which I LOVE!!!). I was so surprised – and I asked the waitress and she said they have a special lady come in every morning and make all their different sauces so she wasn’t sure what it was, just that it was their “tartar” sauce.
And then you go and make something similar!!
I love tzatziki! But I’m way too lazy these days to make it myself. I bought it pre-made.
There used to be a restaurant here that served cauli rice bowls and you could fill it with any veggies/protein you wanted and add a sauce. I would do all the veggies they offered, chicken, and tzatziki, then top it with avo. It was so unexpectedly good and very healthy. Sadly covid shut them down. :/
That is my favorite. I Love “bowls” (I get the burrito bowl at Chipotle and was so excited when they started offering cauliflower rice).
But yours sounds so yummy!!! I’m hungry now.
Omg paddle boarding with a manatee! I would have been so scared! The paddle boarding sounds fun though.
*passes cup of coffee to bev*
It was. But the manatee made the whole day! HUGE!!!!!!! And that he came up right next to me… he could have gone anywhere (there was space everywhere) made it feel so special. Like it was meant to be.
Just wow……
Just a fly-by…Victoria Day weekend here- gorgeous weather.
Docks are in, the old pontoon still chugging, Adirondacks chairs are out. 🙂
I LOVE Pontoons! I want one so bad…. the opportunity for a calm and peaceful “picnic” and oasis on the water.
