Spicy Snapper Fingers…..

Cheese grits, coleslaw and hushpuppies-


Yup, we went to Harbordocks today . Penny has had a few bad days so I decided to cheer her up by taking her to my favorite restauraunt. (hmm – does that make sense?).


Penny started her day with a long soaky bath. After that I made her banana pecan pancakes. She had a bad time yesterday trying to embroider a couple of dish towels. Today she successfully did 2 of them. Then she said, “Let’s go somewhere.” So we did.

We went to Destin Pass with our cameras and took some pictures. Then it was Harbordocks. Finally we went out to the outlet stores in Sandestin so Penny could participate in her favorite form of recreation.


The outlet experience was a little depressing. Last year they closed the Black and Decker outlet store. This year 2 other stores that we go to are biting the dust. The Mikasa outlet and the Little Me store are both closing. Evidently all the Mikasa and Little Me outlet stores are closing. Little Me will be sold in Belk’s and Macy’s.


Yesterday Christy suggested we participate in this years National Novel Writing Month. It involves writing a 50,000 word novel beginning on Nov 1 and finishing by the end of the month. No prizes, no judging, they just want people to write. Karen threw down the blogging gauntlet. Now Christy is suggesting a new commitment.

I’m not sure I can write that much but it is an interesting challenge (1667 words a day and maybe even a plot). Everyone thinks they have a book inside them. This is a way to force the issue. If I try it I will likely blog less or use my writing as my blog.

Now, what would I write a novel about?
