Yesterday Charles and I went out for an early dinner to

 Stumpknockers by the River in Hernando. This is about 40 miles

from our place, but ,oh, so worth the drive! It's the best

 Catfish restaurant that we have found in our area!

(this restaurant and the other Stumpknockers on the Square, in Inverness...an additional 10 or more miles..)

 They are family owned restaurants and with the same menu.

 Both places are a pleasure to visit -very charming setting and great food!

We both enjoyed it a lot!

Today was a beautiful day here in north Fl. Charles and I decided to enjoy it by taking a long ride over to Crystal River.
(west coast from Ocala)

We wanted to go for lunch at this really good restaurant we've visited a few times in the past. One of their specialities is catfish! That's what I chose and you can see the amount of fish on that plate! LOL- I gave several pieces to Charles. He chose a cheese burger, which he kept saying was the best he had ever had. (however, he also loved my catfish!!) Oh! And we had one of the best cups of clam chowder I've ever had, too!--And a side dish of "delish" mashed potatoes; made from those little red skinned potatoes!!

The scenery over there is very pleasing to see. It's so much fun to take little day trips, even a few miles from home. Not sure how far it is over there...50-60 miles maybe.

We also stopped at a couple yard/garage sales along the way!...Didn't buy much tho! Found a Barbie Doll for me in " Little Debbie" dress...and a little car for Drakey Poo-and Charles found a Hammer that he just had to have! Can't have too many of those around-he says! 

All in all- we had a wonderful day! Hope you all did too!

Love,
Junie

Yesterday was another really BEAUTIFUL spring day for us here in north Florida!

Since I didn't need to watch Drakey, Charles and I decided to go out! We went for breakfast then we hit some yard sales around town! You never know what you might find! :) I found some cool 'dolls,' among other things! Love finding things I like for a good price! (NOT that I needed more dolls-some might say!!!) But it's the little things in life that adds the fun part!!

Before we started out, though, we checked out the meadow. It's looking good! This is one of my favorite spots in my world and what I most love about our spring!!

Some pics of our beautiful little corner of the world! :)

 

~~OK-lots of Pinks and also LOTS of reds!!~~

We were invited to a cook-out and fireworks display at our friends, Ted and Sandy's, place this evening!

Just about time to go it turned stormy and it absolutely poured rain. I was almost sure the fire display wouldn't be possible so I decided not to bother with my camera.

 

 It did stop, tho, and we were able to see the fireworks, after all! But I missed getting any pics!

These were made just before we left home ...Charles and me and the hard rainfall from our front door!

Hope you've all had a good day!

The Crepe Myrtles are in full bloom here now...and while out taking pictures of them I noticed (probably for the 1st.time) that these clumps of puffy and frilly blooms each have a touch of yellow at the centers! Here are the white ones and a dark pink one. We have a few other colors too!


The other potted flowers shown are a 'Dancing Lady Orchid,' and an annual called 'Kalanchoe.'
