A first

Ever restored a chair?  Not me.  But I felt like I needed a little project.

I was excited to find this charming, little chair sitting on the curb for trash pick up.  I'll show you the finished product when I get there.  I'm liking having this little productive project on the side.  If I can ever finish ALL the sanding {sigh....;-}.  Do you have any projects that you're working on?  Perhaps something for Christmas?

Feasting on Florida Food

It's about time, right?

 
Here's what our place looked like Thanksgiving week.  I thought I would be able to continue posting my local food eating, but as you can see from the date on the last post -- my expectations for myself were too high!

My job during that week was to keep trouble little people out of the way - therefore - out of the house.

I did miss a few days of eating locally, however, I still feel like I've benefited from the challenge.  Those of you who participated, I hope this has been a good experience for you, too.  I've  tried some new recipes - some that will definitely be repeated - and have increased my knowledge of where to look to locate the local.  I think I can call it a success.
