Manatee Monday

Uncategorized

8 Jun

Mexican Meatless Mondays will continue next week. If you are really craving vegetarian Mexican food you can make one of the past recipes…

Stuffed Peppers

Tofu Tacos

Mexican Pizza

Today I thought I’d profess my love for manatees. I read about manatees when I was a little kid in California and for some reason was mystified. I was determined I needed to “Save the Manatees!”

The only problem was I didn’t know what I was “saving” them from? Fail.

Nonetheless they still hold a special place in my heart and I really want to see them in the wild (I’ve seen them in aquariums a few times). Every time I visit Florida I hope to see one, but haven’t yet 🙁

Some day little friend, some day… Manatee with swimmer

One of the great things about this time share is a full kitchen. I have been able to fill up on big salads just like at home.IMG_8918

IMG_8921But, unlike home there are other tempting snacks around like candy and cookies. Oh well. IMG_8927

Plus we enjoyed two “Happy Hours” today. The time share organization had free cocktails at noon and at four. I partook 🙂 IMG_8915

Ben’s sister made fettuccine alfredo for dinner. And now his  mom is making some crumb cake thing that is making the condo smell like Heaven. I might be getting high happy off the fumes 🙂 IMG_8923

And then I did some work on the computer from the terrace.IMG_8928

Nice! IMG_8936

Sadly, we are leaving tomorrow. But I am happy to finally get home. We have a lot to do to organize the move!

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      As a simple and removable kitchen improvement, the microwave cart is a much faster storage solution than adding cabinets or counters. Kitchen Storage Organization Wholesale

      I actually fell in love with manatees when I was a little girl too! I think they need saving because their habitats are threatened because of environmental problems! My favorite accessory as a kid was a hat with manatees on it!

      Aww Manatee Monday reminds me of a commercial they used to play here in Florida when I was little. Mumphrey, Mindy and Max the manatees.

      Now I’m going to have this song stuck in my head all day!

      I love manatees! When I visit family in Orlando, we always go search for manatees in a nearby river. They’re so peaceful to watch. Not to mention they’re cute!

      Next time you’re in Florida you should take a trip to (my hometown) Crystal River, FL the self-professed “Home of the Manatee.” Really! It’s on the sign! Then you can go to Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park and see some manatees. 🙂

        I was just going to say the same thing. My sister swam with the manatees in Homasassa once.

        Carrie, I’m from Citrus County, as well. Inverness, to be exact.
        Such a small world!

          It is a small world! We probably passed each other in the Inverness movie theater one time and didn’t even know it. 😉
