Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

"Oh The Places You'll Go"

Thank you Dr. Seuss for the loan of the title.

Here are a few of the places these
Feet have taken me in the past couple of days:

Loren, this stop was just FOR YOU!!!
Well, it was for eating too.

(If I look half dead it's 'cause I was.
That camera didn't lie)

The Snook Inn had fun riverside dining.
Unfortunately for us,
A storm she was a brewing last evening,
So we opted for the indoor
DRY dining experience.

While we waited to be seated,
We did scope out the dock area.

Even an incoming storm
Can make for a beautiful picture,
Don't'cha think?

Oh, and look there across the water,
Sister Pam's condo towers!!!

Today for lunch we went here:

The Dock Restaurant in Naples.

Where they serve great
Grouper fingers
As pictured above.

And here's what you've all been waiting for,
FOOD PICTURES:

Hubby had the fried seafood combo
(I stole a couple bites - - - YUMMY)

And as promised before I even came to Florida,
I had the Shrimp and Crab Louie.
Delightful!!!

Kristin - The Goat said...: Grouper fingers? hahahaha

In Jacksonville, FL - we have a freeze warning for tonight! I'm curled up in my long pants, long sleeved shirt, socks and a small down lap blanket draped over me and I've still got the chills. I certainly hope you don't get the freeze warning.

Keetha Broyles said...: Kirby - thanks for responding to my grouper fingers joke. I think that picture is hysterical, but you're the first to mention it. Yes, it is rather chilly here too - - - 56 right now, but in the condo I don't need a blankie.

Sherry - Yep, I'm positive. Dollar General, $3, end of season last year on clearance table.
