A Good Ol' Southern Plantation

It's time to head to Pick Pocket Plantation!

In the South we have a lot of Farmer's Markets, we have one on Tuesday at Pick Pocket Plantation, we have one downtown every Wednesday, Thursday it's at a park near downtown, Friday it's in this community called Habersham, (which has been in many magazines for their beautiful houses and Market Place). Then on Saturday's there's one in Port Royal, and another one on Pick Pocket Plantation. So thankfully we have a lot to choose from-

But as of right now, I'm loving Pick Pocket Plantation.

 It's a hidden treasure in the middle of a town!

 If it weren't for the "Farmer's Market signs", you would never know it even existed.

When you drive onto the Plantation, you have fields filled with beautiful Horses, and on the other side you have Pecan Trees all in rows. As you keep going you come up to three cottages, which at one time, were slave quarters. As you drive up to the house you see two Chicken Coops on one side, and Barns on the other. Then you have the big Historic Home. In front of the home, there is a field, and that's where they have the Farmer's Market set up. Everyone there is really nice! The owner of the Plantation sells homemade Ice Cream in his old fashion Ice Cream Maker, wearing his big straw hat. His Ice Cream is truly the best thing ever, it's so creamy, nothing like what you buy from the store! There are quite a few veggies to choose from, but it's still early in the year, when summer comes, there will be a bigger variety. My mum and I got Tomatoes, Green Onions, a really yellow type of Squash (that I've never seen nor had before), and some other veggies! After we left the Farmer's Market, I had to go take pictures of the beautiful Plantation. I spent quite awhile looking at all the sweet curious Chickens and Roosters, and watched the Horses eating their lunch. I really wish I grew up on a Plantation, it would be so fun! I would just walk around all day, enjoying the fields, and sitting under the Pecan Trees... oh a girl can dream!

I am loving all these great colors lately. This is definitely the year for bright, in-your-face, vibrant, loud colors! I just recently purchased a coral skirt, and wore it with a white linen shirt (rolled sleeves), turquoise belt, leather wedges, as for the accessories I wore turquoise studs, turquoise gold leather bracelet, and a coral bag! Can you tell I love turquoise and coral? I am really looking for a pair of rolled up white pants, you can add any bright color to white, or you can even do white on white, and make your accessories pop! I think it's time to do a little shopping, bye bye basic colors, and hello brights!


Do you like bright colors?
What colors do you like?
Do you ever mix loud colors together?

Nothing like a Good Friday breakfast sandwich

Wanna know how to celebrate Good Friday the right way?

 Start it off with a sunny side egg, add some Turkey Bacon, some smashed Avocado with a hint if Lime, and top it off with crisp Asparagus all on a thin Everything Bagel!

Mmm mmm good!

Ingredients

1/2 pound green white and/or purple asparagus trimmed

1 avocado halved seeded peeled and chopped

1 teaspoon lime juice

2 tablespoons butter

4 eggs

8 slice white wheat or brioche bread (Or a thing Everything Bagel).

8 slice crisp-cooked bacon

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Place asparagus in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Cover with about 2 cups of boiling water. Let stand for 10 to 12 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain. Finely chop three of the asparagus spears; set aside.

2. In a small bowl mash avocado with lime juice. Stir in chopped asparagus; set aside.

3. In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat. Break eggs into skillet. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook eggs for 6 minutes, until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken. If desired, turn eggs, to fully cook the yolks.

4. Meanwhile, toast the bread. Spread avocado-asparagus on four slices. Lightly sprinkle with salt. Layer bacon, egg, asparagus, and remaining bread.

And there you have it!

What do you have in store for this Good Friday?

 Relaxing, Cooking, Spending time with family and friends, Getting ready for Easter,

maybe doing a little Shopping?

Whatever it is your doing, I hope your having a wonderful time, and I hope you all have a beautiful Easter Weekend!

Treasure of the week

This is Honey Bear, he is an old cast iron bank, isn't he just adorable!

He is the treasure of the week!

I came across him at Goodwill. As they brought a cart out full of stuff, I walked over and started scoping all the stuff out, I moved around some bags, and underneath all the bags was Honey Bear. The woman next to me said, "who would want that", "it's old". What's funny about this whole situation is, I wanted him, he was a treasure to be told, he was amazing, he was vintage, and not only was he cute, but I knew he was going to be worth something! My mum walked over, and I showed her Honey Bear. I knew that she would want him, I mean, we both love pretty much the same stuff. And that's who ended up buying him for only $5. But I found him, so that's why he is the treasure of the week!

Turns out, Honey Bear is worth some big bucks! When I looked him up, he was around $250- and up. Just check out here or here. Not like we would sell him, but at least we know, if we ever needed some money, he would be worth a lot. And as time goes on, maybe he will be even more! But for right now, I know he has a great home, with someone that will love him!

Honey Bear is an old cast iron bank was made by the Hubley Company in the 1930's!

Have you found any great treasures lately?

Spring Break in Panama Beach

Spring Break 2012

I went on my Spring Break a few weeks ago to Panama Beach, FL.

 Three friends of mine, and myself, went.

It wasn't like MTV, but it was a great time!

 We were there for three days, we spent our days out on the beach, with a cold drink in our hand. At the pool, relaxing. Meeting people, most people were from Michigan, Ohio, or Tennessee. Our hotel, Seahaven, was like a college dorm, It was fun while it lasted, but next time I'm staying at the Hilton. (I can't take loud music playing until 6 a.m.! Thankfully our AC was really, really loud to block out some noise). We ate at some tasty places, hello Buffalo Shrimp, and Tuna Dip with chips. We went to Happy Hour two times in one day, our bartenders were quite amusing, I miss them. One of my friends and myself hitch hiked to the liquor store, oh yeah, did I mention we got picked up by guys on Mopeds.. that was a fun ten minute ride, it sucked that we had to walk all the way back carrying liquor though. We went to free bars, who would spend a $25 cover charge? The local free bars are way more fun then ones you have to 'pay for just to get into'. I got to dance with a really old guy, but damn did he have some good ol' country swinging moves! I got to shop like a tourist, but the only thing I bought was postcards, that's a lie, I bought my new bag down there. We went down there with tons of alcohol, and even bought some more, but the day we were leaving there seemed to be lots of alcohol that hadn't been touched.. I guess that's how you know we are getting older, we only have a few drinks, instead of the whole bottle! I got to wake up early and walk the beach alone, I sat in the sand and watched the surfers, then along came a storm, a very big storm, it was such a great time to take pictures! We sat in the back of a truck and rode the strip, turns out the guys driving were as old as my little brother! (There were tons of under age kids). But the best part of Panama was riding on a free bus and not going to any bars, instead we just hung out with the driver, we loved you Jarrod, thank you so much for making our night!

Being down there was such a fun time!

 I'm so glad I got to go with my girls!

I usually spend Spring Break relaxing, or working, so I needed to experience this, especially Panama Beach!

Farewell Panama,

 next time I come,

 it was be in the fall,

 when you aren't invested with youngsters, drunks, and loud people!

It's time to get back in the saddle!

I am officially a proud member of Anytime Fitness!

My mum and I tried out the Seven Day Trial, and even though the membership was kinda pricey, we still had to join!

It's definitely worth it!

It has:

All the machines we need-

Showers-

Weights-

It's open 24 hours-

It only takes around ten minutes to get there-

Small gym-

Private key-

Classes; Zumba, Cardio, Spin, & Yoga-

and best of all; you can watch television on your own little TV screen, all the machinery is brand spankin' new, so it all has TVs! (I don't have cable at my house, so this could be a problem!)

I am going so I can get back in shape, "I want people to be jealous of how great my body is!" I know that sounds cocky, and a little in your face, but that's my goal I've set for myself. (And that's what I also put on the board at the gym, he he! My mum on the other hand wants her "Nice ass back"! - I love it! I also want to maintain a healthy body, and working out is definitely one of the best things you can do for your health, along with a great diet, so let the working out begin!

I actually look forward to working out!

Do you belong to a Gym?

How many times a week do you go?

What is your 'goal' when you go to the gym; are you loosing weight, targeting a certain area, or do you just like to stay in shape?
