Merry Christmas Everyone!
I’ve been having so much fun, making so many new memories I haven’t taken the time to blog…
I hope everyone enjoyed celebrating with their families and friends during this wonderful time.
My favorite memory from this Christmas is seeing both of my parents, my children, Josh and Danielle,and my step-son, Corey!
…and coconut cake…
What’s your favorite memory from Christmas 2010?
Blessings Y’all!
Welcome new followers!
I never tire of a white sand beach. Ahhhhhh… 
We took the scenic route to Tampa this time. While in Pensacola we discovered that my favorite little hotel, Five Flags Inn was destroyed in Hurricane Ivan in 2004. :(
On a happier note I found the campground in Destin my parents took our family to when I was 16 called Camping on the Gulf. They took us in a Dodge truck with a cabover camper and we parked on the second row. It was heaven! We plan to stay here sometime next year. (They take reservations up to a year in advance…a bit pricey but so worth it!)
Driving along the gulf coastline, we explored some “off the beaten path” places including Fanning Springs, The Suwannee River and BubbaQue’s at Chiefland, best BBQ we’ve ever had!
~~ Food-Fun-Friends ~~
Whataburger in Destin, Steak at Tina’s new house, Dairy Curl coconut sundae in Clearwater Beach!
Yumalicious !

My most favorite time of the day on the beach…
While we were playing along the coastline, my children were very busy…
My daughter, Danielle in her new office!
My son, Josh became a licensed Private Pilot!
Guess who also loves the beach…
And just for those of you who LOVE antiques and collectables…

Welcome new followers! :)
~~My daughter flew home to Tampa today~~
She’s my treasure.
She’s my best friend.
She tells me the truth.
She’s brilliant.
She’s beautiful.
Our visit was wonderful, just too short. Mom and Dad loved having
her around. She made us laugh and filled our tummies with some
delicious home cookin’. (did I mention that she’s fabulous cook?)
See previous post
for her smiling face.
~~Venison Jerky~~
(can I get a ewwwwwwww?)
Deer hunting is a big part of my family’s life. (sorry if this is offensive to you)
The men hunt, the women cook from recipes handed down thru the ages.
Really? (ages?)
*smothered venison steak, venison chili, venison burgers, roast venison, etc.*
One recipe is TOP SECRET, shared with a select few.
Supposedly, it’s the best venison jerky recipe the world has ever known.
(oh brother)
Dad and Danielle decided to stink up the place by concocting a batch.
They were quite proud of their masterpiece!
yes, she did approve these pics…
*****************************
Pond Fishing
Another family favorite is fishing.
(We ARE a very exciting family!)
My cousin’s family has beautiful property surrounding a huge ‘pond’ stocked with fish.
We love spending time there watching for deer and eagles, fishing for bass and crappie.
Although the fish weren’t biting that day it was still great to be there.
The dock Mom and Dad strolling
NOT the big catch of the day
Dani caught a nice bass but it flopped off the boat before I could get a picture!
Afternoon cruise Captain Sammy
Eagle’s Nest Crappie usually bite under the dock
We love this place and are so grateful for the tranquility it offers.
(Not to mention the yummy fish!)
Blessings Y’all,
Kathy
