We are finding happiness again, here on Papa's beloved "Florida farm". The kids adore being here, and I think the happy memories are taking over the sting of the loss of our precious Papa. I love their joy and giggles. The stories around the fire again. We have been eating our way around the favorite places! Mmm, MOJO's has the BEST black beans and rice! One of our favorite things about living somewhere for longer than normal is that we can get a LIBRARY card! Eeek! There is NOTHING better than paper books, real ones you can hold in your hand. We have been lounging around in chairs and hammocs after school and just enjoying! :) Even MOMMA gets to read! Ahhh, guilty pleasure. We chalk, we bake, we play after school each day and enjoy the sunshine. We eat outside a LOT, we miss being able to all fit around the table, plus its SO pretty out! Look how sweet and precious my family is..... OH WOW. Nice kids. How about this one? Really Ty? ONE more chance guys..... MUCH BETTER. :) Mmm! I love having an oven to cook in, Drea lets me use the apartment kitchen. We always have to make Creamy Hamburger Casserole. Do you remember that one from the blog? Click here. Speaking of cooking, I have a NEW favorite recipe from Drea. You are going to want to make this! I bought a 5 pound bag of Brussels sprouts from Sam's. Cut ends off and wilted leaves and halve. Drizzle with olive oil and generously salt and pepper. Roast at 425* until fork tender. Drizzle with balsamic reduction, add craisins and goat cheese. And walnuts if you'd like. Serve hot. Mmm, I can eat bowls of this stuff for my WHOLE MEAL! We took the kids skating on Saturday! As a child of the 80's I grew UP skating all over the tiny town I grew up in. The kids are used to bladeing, but seemed to transition well to skates. It was a cute little rink and an easy way to pass a Saturday afternoon. They had a ball! Hugs, T
