McGuires....Pensacola

If you ever are in Pensacola I have the perfect place for you to eat....McGuire's Irish Pub. http://www.mcguiresirishpub.com/ Not only do they have an onsite brewery, but the food is great as well!! BUT the best thing about McGuire's is the dollars that are stapled all over the restaurant....literally!!!

The sandwiches are big enough to share and are really great!!! So, check it out if you are ever in Pensacola.

Til next time,

California Cows...

Have you seen the newest commercial about voting for a "new" California cow? J and I love these commercials and just chuckle everytime we see one. Well, they've now got a contest started to vote for your favorite. Check it out.... http://www.realcaliforniamilk.com/auditions/index.html/

As some of you know...I do love cows!! You gotta admit, the folks that create these are ummmm...unique!!!!

Our travels thus far!!!

Well, since leaving home we've been to Arkansas and back, then on to Mississippi, Alabamba, and are currently in Florida!! We've seen many neat things along the way. If you like BIG ships or are just a history buff you must check out the USS Alabama docked in Mobile. We toured it last year and it is really cool!! They even have a sub there you can tour, but trust me it is a tight fit!! (the picture is not of the Alabama) http://www.ussalabama.com/gallery.php

Another neat place to visit is the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/ We toured that last year also. Lots of cool planes and such. Even saw a picture of the USS Kwajalein, the carrier my dad served on in the Navy (that's its picture above). Not really sure what Dad did on the Kwajalein, but that's where he served. So that made a special place in my heart! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Kwajalein_(CVE-98)

This year we went out to Pensacola Beach and checked it out!! http://www.visitpensacolabeach.com/ Beautiful beaches and cool shops. Found some places we wouldn't mind coming back and renting!! But we'll see.

So, that's about all for now. I'll try and keep you updated as we go!!

Been a while

Well, guess I just got so busy at home I didn't have time to blog!!! A little bit of new "news"...while I was in Peoria a bad wind storm went through our area and created quite a bit of damage. J spent 2 days helping his dad clean up storm mess, then had to come home to clean up our yard. He was without power for 3 days, but luckily for me it was on by the time I got back home.

Then we decided to put our house on the market. Yes, we know...bad time to sell, so we'll see what happens. That meant cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. My closets haven't been this clean in years!!! My sewing room closet is now so organized I probably won't find a thing!

Did a little sewing while I was home. Made 5 trick or treat bags and a baby quilt. The bags went to various friends and the quilt is for Sara's little one (she's the daughter of a friend). He won't get it until we get home though!!!

Til next time,
