Surprise from our Realtor

   Good morning Saturday,

      Thursday we had a surprise visit from our Realtor-He hands me a package and says Happy Valentine's Day.  Inside was a frozen crab shrimp boil-Wow amazing gift.

     I got a photo of it still frozen-but couldn't get a good photo while it was in the boiling water-then I forgot to take a photo when I plated it. I had heard of this new fish store a year ago and everyone we know that has tried it loves the food.  This one had two pieces of corn on the cob, lots of little potatoes, spicy sausages, shrimp and crab. Also whipped butter with a little spice added


This was soooo delicious and an amazing thoughtful gift.  We are getting serious now about getting our woods property sold.


   Today we have a break in the weather so I can do a bit of food shopping and get in more distilled water-I use it in our commercial coffee maker and I just recently bought two small humidifiers to get some moisture in the air here.  Easier to keep them cleaner using distilled water.  After today we are plunging down to the  minus numbers with wind-not good.

Happy weekend

    1. I have seen about the wintry storm headed to the east coast -ugh sounds awful. worse here is a little snow and ice but severe cold-down in minus teens at night-that will freeze the lake if it lasts too long
      stay safe and warm

    1. It was a total surprise to see him again too-we chat online, but he is a very busy person. He has been showing out woods property for us. Said he wanted to come out and chat and surprised us with this feast-so delicious too

  6. How cool is that?!?! Our son is looking for property and your area is pretty high on their list. If you have any information or want to communicate with him, you can send me a comment on our blog (I will not publish it) and I can share it with him!
