As always we begin with Lord Dudley Mountcatten… ever chill, always relaxed.
.
.
Up next… an abomination.
.
.
Not being a dirty martini fan, I can find no plausible reason for this horrible vodka to exist.
.
.
Woodchuck sightings are daily now.
.
.
And the chucker holes my husband filled in have been excavated once more.
.
.
Somehow I doubt that dog was cheering.
🤣
.
.
I do like an interesting bar…
.
.
Any of my Florida friends ever have a drinkie poo here?
.
.
Weird, yes. But I think I’d have a hard time partying under a hanging tree.
.
.
Twigs and leaves aren’t the only things it sprouts…
.
.
To be clear this is not one of my favorite decorating themes. I have enough trouble with bras in every day life, I really don’t need to drink under a ceiling of them.
.
.
Wow.
.
.
The oldest bar in Florida definitely has history.
.
.
Damn.
.
.
I’ve had drinks with my share of dead beats, but this takes dead to a whole new level.
Weirdest. Bar. Ever.
.
.
She’s still here, and still teasing my boy.
.
.
Her presence on the deck drives His Lordship positively bonkers.
.
.
She knows he can’t reach her and seems to take perverse pleasure at his agitation.
.
.
What a witch.
.
.
Is it me, or does she look ready to breed again?
🥴
.
.
Then the world’s largest lobster roll must be even better.
.
.
The Taste of Maine is a family owned and operated coastal restaurant that’s been a staple for tourists for the past 45 years.
You might recognize it’s giant lobster from my previous posts.
.
.
Yes, it really is that big.
What’s also big is the price tag for that super sized crustacean sandwich.
.
.
You read correctly. $160 for what amounts to two pounds of lobster on a roll.
.
.
No self respecting Maine native would ever order one or pay such a ridiculous price, but a week after they opened for the season they’d already sold quite a few….
.
.
For that price you should get it any damn way you please.
.
.
And even if you could, why would you want to?
.
.
No.
It is most definitely is not.
.
.
What the…
Nope. I refuse to explore that headline any further.
.
.
I’ve ridden with my husband on the Jersey Turnpike. I know we can travel faster.
.
.
To hell with O.J. … that’s a police chase worth watching.
.
.
Yes.
That’s what it is. Not my lazy fat *ss unwilling to get up off the couch. No.
It’s my microbiome.
Yup. That’s it exactly.
.
.
I spent 5 hours following my husband from store to store looking for a new weed whacker last week.
.
.
Don’t believe the people who tell you men hate to shop. When he’s looking for a new toy for himself? My guy will shop until I drop. We hit at least 7 different lawn and garden sections and then went back to the very first place we stopped so he could buy the very first one he saw.
And then?
.
.
The man who owns a giant zero turn tractor and four push mowers… yes, four. Two of them self propelled. … started looking at new push mowers.
For me.
The person who doesn’t want one.
It was at that point I said enough… and made him take me for a nice late lunch.
.
.
A fresh blueberry mojito was a good way to start.
.
.
Every time I see this old tool art installation I want my husband to do something like it in the man cave.
.
.
And every time, he says no.
.
.
To start… it was butternut squash soup for the husband and some fabulous dry rub barbecue shrimp for moi.
.
.
A basil limeade later?
.
.
An amazing Bolognese with fresh pasta and a lamb, beef and pork ragu. It was so good I didn’t even notice what the husband ate.
Well worth 5 hours of tool shopping.
😉
.
.
Time for the required dose of His Lordship.
.
.
Who steals your warm spot on the couch every time you get up.
.
.
And with those Dracula fangs, who’s going to argue?
.
.
Yup.
That’s my boy.
❤️
.
.
As I was reading in the living room the other day, Lord Dudley Mountcatten went running to the window.
.
.
It seems we had a visitor on the deck railing.
.
.
A Sharp Shinned Hawk.
.
.
He’s a beauty and hunts our backyard quite often.
.
.
Though sadly never when Momma Red is scurrying around.
.
.
❤️
.
.
This week’s game should be fun.
.
.
Here are a few of mine –
Justin Bieber is playing on an endless loop.
All the floors are wet and you’re only wearing socks.
There’s television, but only one program … The Apprentice.
All the cocktails are alcohol free.
The only book in the library is 50 Shades of Grey.
There’s an all you can eat buffet… but the only thing on it is kale.
How about you?
What’s happening in your version of Heck….
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten flew off the couch the other day and positioned himself at the back door.
.
.
Reason?
.
.
The red menace was scampering around on the deck.
.
.
I swear she knows he’s there, cackling like mad and most importantly… unable to reach her.
.
.
She’s a regular rodent tease.
.
River's world.....
