50 cent oysters.
Hot sauce and horseradish.
Sheer delight.

Of course, I'd cut it down and make it look girl-like rather than huge and baggy (which is how it would look on me) but this shirt definitely made me laugh yesterday!

She proceeded to twist everyone round her little finger, most especially Robert in the kitchen at the Navigator when she dropped a few greenbacks into his tip jar - "For the poor".
Even the seagulls on the beach were susceptible to her charms!
Another fabulous day with the LaPaz Crew!

And the answer is...
the F/A-18 Super Hornet, of course!

Hate to tell you this, Cory, but the planes returned yesterday after the very silent 9 days that you were here. They brought Army helicopters with them. Marianna could tell you what sort of plane this is, etc... etc... but all I can tell you is that it isn't the really loud ones. Those I can identify! Those are the ones they would not let Marianna sit in the cockpit for! Those are the ones that shake the martini glasses on the boat! They are the ones the Sigsbee Elementary "Super Bee" kiddos are named after (according to Hal)!
Care to take a guess as to which plane Marianna wasn't allowed in the other day?

Gosh! It has been one entire month since I've last posted. I think that just may be a record! But, you know, May was hugely busy and so enjoyable and that extra time that wasn't spent online was spent hanging with friends and family and that can never be beat!
So to kick off a new month of blogging, I thought I'd drag out that old thought-provoking meme of the Simple Woman's before I head to work today. Stop by Peggy's for more entries.
Outside my Window...
A Gumbo-Limbo Tree! And Grass! This land based living rocks!
(Just not literally.)
I am thinking...
about stepping up Marianna and my dive certification to the next level. Good summer project, no?
I am wearing ...
vibrant pink and purple skirt and a black tee or white tank. Haven't decided which one for work yet.
I am thankful for...
time spent with my sister, Michelle, and her true love down here in Key West this past week.
From the kitchen...
Last night we had a little BBQ action with a few friends in the backyard under that lovely tree so tonight the leftover Tritip will find it's way into steak and cheese sandwiches.
Towards a Real Education...
Mao's China this week, but even more exciting is a new cooking unit Marianna and I are putting together. After all, we have to figure out how to use an OVEN, a MICROWAVE, and a 4-BURNER STOVE, none of which was present on the boat.
I am creating...
a house that is a home.
I am reading...
I, Elizabeth
Around the home...
Herbs from our garden!
One of my favorite things...
Wooden staircases, though I still have an urge to descend backwards like a companionway. Good thing I had so many years of training - one hand for you, one for the boat - slippery shoes and no non-skid on the deck resulted in a short tumble on those pretty wooden stairs the other day!
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...
Work Monday and Tuesday, Bartender's Class on Wednesday, Motorcycle Safety Class on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you:

This is my favorite photograph from my month of photos. I like everything about it, from the composition on out. What was your favorite photo from your month of concentrating on photography? I think it'd be neat if you left the link in the comments to your post with your best of the best photo.
I'm so glad so many of you played along this year and special thanks goes out to those of you who started asking me in March if we'd be doing the April Showers again! It was the craziest, busiest month of my life but your photos brought me such happiness whenever I could grab a moment to sit down and admire them.
Now, don't forget to leave your link so we all can admire the beautiful May Day bouquet the April Showers have brought!

The CurrClick Green Generation Cartoon Caption Contest ended up being such an intense nail biting race with the top two finalists exchanging positions by single votes over the last few hours of the contest. But at the very end Marianna pulled ahead with 238 votes over 233.
She is now the proud winner of a Wacom Art Tablet - wow!!!

Marianna snapped this photo of me knitting. This is my very first scarf for a guy, girl scarves I have cranked out for years and years, woven and knitted and even finger crocheted, the later is a terrific way to show off specialty yarns actually.
But for this very first guy scarf I had to really think long and hard about how to make an item of clothing that my uncle might actually wear. I wanted something he could wear either with his going to work suits or his Rockies jackets and I think this fits the bill. I chose a soft cotton in black and worked it in basketweave, one of my favorite stitches, for a subtle pattern that is fun to knit.

The first burger on our new grill had to be a Marino Burger (name borrowed from one of our favorite places - Hobo's in Key Largo). Bleu cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, toasted bun = delicious.
P.S. The CurrClick Green Generation Cartoon Caption Contest is still ongoing. Voting continues through Wednesday. If you are not registered at CurrClick yet, you will need to before voting. Marianna is in first place today - super exciting!!!
