Good morning from a still chilly SW Florida but I'm  playing golf at 8:AM.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Got a laugh out of the quote.

Not sure what Spring Pasta is but I love Pasta so....

Hope everyone is well.

Thanks for The Daily.

enjoy your golf.  Wasn't that nice to see someone win the WM In Az for his first PGA ever?

@rafinmdmentioning visiting his brother's grave while on a cruise reminds me of something we did when our cruise stopped in Kobe, Japan.  There was a shuttle into town and a group of ladies there who said they would be happy to show us anything we wanted to see in Kobe.  I told a nice lady there that my grandfather was buried in Kobe and we would like to see his grave.  She made a couple of calls and said he is buried in the National Park in the mountains, and we can hire a taxi to take us there.  There was a foreign cemetery there and his grave was in the Russian section.  It was well kept, with an azalea bush at the end of it.  Apparently after the war the graves in the Kobe city cemetery were moved to this mountain park.  Here is how he ended up in Japan.  He was from Siberia and the family migrated to Maui around 1908.  My mother was born there in 1910.  They then moved to Honolulu.  About 1913 he had heart problems and his doctor told him that he couldn't stand the heat in Hawaii and should go back to Siberia.  The family was on the way back, but he died on the ship and was buried in Kobe.  The family continued home to Siberia, but later their Hawaiian friends urged them to come back to Honolulu and they did in 1917.  What I learned from this is that the Japanese people are extremely helpful to tourists and their local government is very well organized.

Scheffler had a great tournament, glad it worked out for him after missing his fairly easy birdie putt on 18 to win in regulation.

Good morning, everyone.

 

 

Spring pasta sounds good.  

 

 

 

 

Aw yes as someone who used to work part time at night at Godiva boutique stores, I can attest to the sales but usually they were 3-4 days afterwards.    Oh and in early January's we would break down the large 2 or 3 pound gold boxes and were allowed to take some home.

 

the one photo I left is reply is what I do think primavera pasta is all about.

i agree. Was also rooting for a few others.  Was strange to not have Phil M there.  

I think a lot of the elites are coming back for next week.

Oh my I forgot to congratulate the Rams on their win last night.  (didn't watch it).  The last time the Rams won the Super Bowl they were the St. Louis Rams and that was in 1999. Happy times for that city back then, and we were living there at the time.  Better luck next year to the Cincinnati Bengals!  They have a strong, young team and the were leading at the end until the last minute or two I heard.🏈

 

How were the commercials?

Do you remember when St. Louis had the Football Cardinals?

They were originally the Chicago Cardinals and I was a big fan and it broke my heart when they moved to St. Louis in 1960, of course now they are the Arizona Cardinals.

Good morning everyone and Happy Valentine’s Day Monday!  
 

DGD and I started to watch the game last night but it was being broadcast in Spanish so I had to Google how to fix that. Seems Cox has a default to Spanish in some locations. By the time I got that all figured out it was time for halftime and she was really enjoying everything so I just fast forwarded to the end and didn’t really get to see any commercials and she got bored and went into the living room to be with her PaPa. I saved it so might go back to watch them. 

 

Tomorrow I’m going to FaceTime an old childhood friend. I moved away from our small town when I was in Junior High School and we kept in touch off and on but lost touch about 20 years ago. Somehow she found my brother’s email and asked if he could help. 
 

We are having brunch at Bisbee Breakfast Club so I’ll check back in later. 
 

Have a great day everyone!

I am going to try to grill a steak for my Valentine - it is supposed to get up to 18F today!

Wishing  everyone  a  happy  valentines  day.

Good morning and Happy Valentines Day, all! We made it safely to Palm Springs, or La Quinta to be more precise. I’m sitting with DS and BIL looking out at the hills and palm trees. DH has taken the car to get the air conditioning fixed. We had the car checked out and tuned up before we left. It is winterized from stem to stern. Checking the air conditioning never occurred to us or our mechanic back in the snow in Canada.

Thos morning I got to,watch the sun rise over the date palms and mountains, with the smell  of blossoms and sage in the air. It’s now too hot to sit out on the deck!

Happy Monday everyone, why not treat your Valentine to a voyage on a favourite BHB?

Can’t expand the description but Benalmadena is in Spain - on the Costa del Sol - not far from Malaga.  A lot of little resort areas nearby too.  Beautiful spot as are the little towns close by. There is a train that runs through those little towns to Malaga and stops at each one.  For some reason, I can’t temember if it stopped at Benalmadena or if DH and I had to walk there from the last stop (a pretty short walk) for the Rotary meeting we were going to.

Oh thanks I did not realize it was in Spain.  I was guessing Italy.

Of course we remember the football Cardinals!  My DBIL loved the Cardinals, then had to switch to the Rams when the Cardinals left for Arizona.  He had to revert to the Rams, but loved them just as much.  May he RIP!  I hope there's football up in heaven so he can watch!  😇

We loved visiting Santiago del Compostelo,  although we were on a land trip.   

[MISTER 67]

First Ferris Wheel was built by George Ferris for the 1893 Columbian Exposition Worlds Fair in Chicago. Quite refmarkable for that period in time. It had a diameter of 250 feet, 36 cars holding 60 riders in each car. It was dismantled after the Fair and reassembled and was an attraction in Chicago's Lincoln Park and after a few years wound up at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Fridge - The Musical

Day 1:  It Don’t Come Easy

 

 

Somehow I have managed to accumulate mass quantities of food in my pantry and fridge.  I’m going to blame that on Covid.  Today I have started a new project called “Get Rid of It”.  Goal is to have as much as possible whittled away before I go away.  That gives me less than 3 weeks.  Unfortunately, my husband’s regular travel starts back up in 2 weeks so that will impact the amount of groceries consumed.

 

I see I have a fresh basil plant on the counter, as well as some peppers (red, yellow, jalapeño) and sweet onion.  Some frozen chicken breasts tells me we are having Thai Basil Chicken.  Or maybe Lemon Basil Chicken.  I’ll see what happens when I get in the kitchen.

 

Anyone else have plans to whittle down their vittles?

[kazu]

For crying out loud, it is STILL snowing 😔 

 

Yea, this really applies today.
