The People's Place

I may be a long-time Floridian, but it took a while for me to discover this state landmark. :-) The Clark's Fish Camp in Jacksonville, FL. Wow. It was a great experience. The restaurant was hidden away in a residential area, but that didn't hinder the crowds from finding it.

The menu had everything from the regular fish fry and gator options to yak, kangeroo, eel, rabbit, antelope, ostrich, and a long list of other exotic meats. But the really good stuff was the prime rib stuffed portobella. (I know, right?)

The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating on the river, a very local feel, and supposedly the largest private collection of taxidermy in the world. LOL. There was half a giraffe...no kidding. Who does that?! But it was definitely a memory. One I just might repeat sometime.

Retreat

View from one of the rooms at a favorite bed and breakfast of ours. Inn at Still Pond. This would make an amazing writing retreat. One of these days, I'd like to go spend a few days there, writing on the big front porch or by a bonfire or in an overstuffed chair in the living room. Do you have a favorite bed and breakfast? Where would you like to hole up to read or write for a few days?

Cuter When He's Sleeping

The angel version of my dog. If you want to see the demon version, just give him a rawhide.

I'm sure that story will end up in a story somewhere.

What's your favorite pet story? What's your favorite animal in literature?

Pic of the Week

So, I'm trying to get back into the blogging world. For the millionth time, I know. But I'm thinking if I allow myself to not write an entire chapter for each blog entry, maybe I'll keep up with it for once.

Introducing: the Pic of the Week! Some might call it cheating, but if it works... :-)

 

I have a typewriter fetish. So when I found this cutie while hunting for a Kindle case, I couldn't resist!

Oh, and yes, I have a Kindle. No, I will not completely convert. Ever. I have mixed feelings about it. But that's a blog for another day. Maybe one where I don't even have to cheat. :-)
