What I Didn't Buy Wednesday

So, I'm in Florida with my friends. We always do our grocery shopping on the first day. I saw this and thought, "Eww! I have never seen these before. 
Pickled eggs. What? We were at the Piggley Wiggley. How is it that they don't have normal stuff that we are used to, but then have so many random things? Every item on this end cap is weird! I never heard of these before. 

I didn't buy any of it and never plan to!

Travel Tuesday

I'm off again! This time, I'm at the beach with my friends.

We're at Connie's beach house (she's on the left). Nancy is on the right. We were at the airport. It was a full flight with 5,000 kids! Apparently it's still Spring Break!
I'm so bad about remembering to take pictures that I handed my camera to Connie to take the one of Pam and I. 

We arrived around 9-ish in Panama City. Our first stop was the Waffle House. It's not my favorite place, but I admit the food is good--and that's what it's all about. We got to Mexico, dropped our luggage, and then headed to Port St. Joe to the Piggley Wiggley for groceries. 

By the time we got back and put groceries away, Pam and Nancy decided to hit the beach. Connie wanted to watch a basketball game--UT girls. I sat on the balcony and read, talked to Butch and napped--a perfect afternoon. Happy hour started at 4 followed by dinner at a pizza place around 5:30. When we got home, we watched 
a show and hit the sack early. 

We have a full week of nuthin' to look forward to! You can bet I'll be doin' somethin', but it will add up to a whole lot a nuthin'!
