THIS IS BLUE Below is a Snook that was thrown back, of course.

The extra small fish Ken caught were give to the "shore birds"........"Blue" comes every day to eat but I have stopped feeding them all. They would walk into the house if you let them! Rock gets tired of "hosing down the patio" from their "gifts". Blue has a fish so big he is having a problem getting it down!

Julie and Rachel came up Sat. to see Rock before surgery. My, how she has grown! Rach will be 11 on Dec. 21
Ken and Jacob over too. We grilled this fish tonight, Sun. for din. Delicious!! I keep trying to get Ken to let his hair grow....he absolutely refuses, so I keep calling him "Howie". He is doing so well!!!!!!!!!!
Jake has bad sinus problems. I used the Neti pot on him, boy, what a difference that made..........AND.............he is shown here with the RIFE machine hooked up for his sinuses. He is taller than me now............he turned 12 in Aug. and is in 8th grade. A smartie pants!! The Neti pot was shown on Oprah's show by Dr. Oz. It works wonders!! I love it. Even Rock uses it. Check it out on the net.

Forgot to tell everyone......Rock has surgery next Monday. Outpatient at hospital I worked at for 10 yrs. in Tarpon Springs. Great doctor.....know him well.

His favorite..............carrot cake!! Not as good as mine or Publix's!!!!!
Ready to plant........3 kinds of tomatoes (7 plants), one sweet red pepper and herbs, 9, yes 9 broccoli!! Will put in Mesclun and arugala......our favorite. Funny for you northern people, huh? That is one benefit of living in Florida...........garden anytime!
Had to add fresh Miracle Grow DIRT, of all things. Soil here just disappears somewhere every year. This planter is only one in the winter that has sun, since it faces north.....and the water. The walkway is crushed shell.........good for all walkways here in the yard. When it FREEZES, I have 2 old glass windows from the house that Rock replaced last year and I cover the plants. Use blankets, etc. for the tomato plants that are in separate pots.

Monday was Rock's birthday!! This is what he wanted, so we "shopped" and ended up at Lowe's. Used it the same night for his favorite, a pork loin.
Just checking it out.......discovered he had one empty bottle and one 1/2 full! Was enough for the pork loin though.

Rock saw the doc Thurs. and sees the surgeon Tues. He's doing well. Can't keep him down!
These are ruby red grapefruit and they are getting sweeter every day!
I planted the grasses only a year ago! Florida rain is really good for them!

We arrived FL Wednesday evening. One blown tire on trailer....Rock changed it along interstate. I had horrid migraine all the way till today...SAT. Everything overgrown, loads of grapefruit on tree and key limes. Our resident osprey continues to give us joy with his chirps. All the sea birds around. So different than Georgia.

Our Florida home! Leaving GA Wed. Rock's hernia. Doctor on Thurs. The weather in GA is really nice now. Still no turning of leaves here.
FISH.......here we come. This is side of house as we have water in back and side. Love it here.
