We were in Florida for a few days last week for our friend Tom’s annual golfing get together. Gail is a swinger:
There were majestic birds on the courses, like the great blue heron:
There were birds of prey, a red shouldered hawk and an osprey:
A little blue heron and a white ibis were helping find my ball:
And like everywhere I go, I spotted these common birds:
I seem to attract them! Princess Gail and I just got really buzzed back from a wonderful wine tasting dinner! It was absolutely delicious! My only problem is that I maybe have about one glass of wine a year! So by my third or fourth la-de-da wine, my brain was (and is) la-la-la. I should use the spell checker today. I’ll just keep it short. Here’s the menu.
I had to be fitted for a special mask at work yesterday. I took this picture and sent it to Princess Gail. She wrote back and said I looked like an ass-tronaut! I guess I do!
Once again, Queen Mimi is up to her old meme tricks. She snuck up and tagged me when I wasn’t looking, and now I have to do this to stay out of her creepy dungeon! The UnValentine Grumpy Meme1. What did you get for Valentine’s Day? Hall’s Mentho-Lyptus. (You can imagine how romantic I look and feel right now.) 2. What will you miss most about Valentine’s Day? I’ll miss the chocolate, but only for a little while. I have stashes all over the place. Valentine’s day comes and goes. Chocolate is forever! 3. What could you have done differently yesterday tomake the day sweeter? I could have taken Princess Gail out to someplace more romantic than Smiley’s BBQ. 4. How many roses make a dozen? Easy. Twelve! Is this a trick question? I’m way too literal and concrete for a question like this. I must be missing something. Twelve, right? Yeah, twelve. I’m sticking to it. 5. You and your love are getting matching tattoos for Valentine’s Day. What will they be? Hmmm… Master/Slave? Princess/Frog? Peace/Love? Tarheels/BlueDevils? We should probably both have the same tat. Might have to go with a picture of a red tin foiled chocolate rose! I love those! 6. Does your significant other have an annoying cute little habit you’d like to break? Nope. It’s all part of her charm! 7. What did you get someone for Valentine’s Day? I think I might have given Gail an Upper Respiratory Infection, with all my love. 8. Write one word on this candy heart you’ve been dying to say to a romantic connection from your past. Thanks! 9. Be a poet. Write a 4-line poem starting with Roses are red…. There’s wine in the cup… Now get in the bed… And shut the hell up…
10. What song best describes your Valentine’s Day experience this year? All Choked Up. 11. I, Mimi Grumpy Skirt, am so glad this meme is almost over. This is my final question. I made it eleven questions in honor of the 11 roses I didn’t receive. Aren’t they lovely? This is my final final question, Regis:
North Carolina prides itself in many things, among them BBQ. There is a famous BBQ festival in Lexington, NC every October. So today we decided to take a little drive down there since it is only about 30 miles away. We had chosen a specific restaurant, but when we arrived, it was closed (on Sundays.) So we Yelped another one, drove there, and it was also closed. We finally got smart and called a few before actually driving there! We found Smiley’s open, and by that time had developed a pretty good appetite! The food was delicious!!! Here’s a picture of Gail and me at Smiley’s
This is my first contribution to Macro Monday, a photo meme that my friend Dawn is playing, but I think started at Lisa’s Chaos. This was taken today in my front yard, a camellia, sleeping through the winter.

(That was the UN-love version. I would NEVER talk to Princess Gail like that. I just thought it was funny.) The LOVE version goes: Roses are red… Buntings are blue… In love and in like… I’m just crazy ’bout you!
yada yada :-)
