Posted on by

Hi Everyone. This week was a fun one. We made our annual trip to Cruisin’ The Coast in Biloxi, Mississippi. You can see a lot more by visiting Mr Wonderful’s Facebook Page.

I am a huge sports car fan. And I always have a place in my heart for Monte Carlos.

Mr Wonderful is a hug Bug fan.

We have our eyes out for the fun and unusual.

Sherry’s Shelves & Our First Vaxxication 5.16 – 5.22.21 #weeklyupdate

Posted on by

Sunday Post

Hi Everyone. I do have some news to share on my activities as I feel more comfortable about getting out and about. I went to the dentist after almost a year and a half. I got a clean bill of health and I was very pleasantly surprised. Mr Wonderful coaxed me out on a vaxxication. After the first day, I became more comfortable. Most people were following Covid protocol. There was social distancing, masks, cleaning stations and no one came to your room. The weather was iffy, high winds the whole time and some rain. I did do a ride along with Mr Wonderful while he played a round of golf, after the rain had passed. I still can’t play, but it was nice to be out and about. We came home with more money than we left with, and I can’t ask for much more than that. Some fun, some laughs, and a breath of fresh air. YAY!

Sherry’s Shelves #181- Golf & Senior Bowl #Senior Bowl

Posted on by

.

Sherry’s Shelves #181 is my weekly update from 1.24.19 – 1.30.19.

~~~

Hi Everyone. Hope you had a great week and managed to stay warm at this cold weather hits. The sun may be out here in Florida, but, man oh man, it is chilly. I get goose bumps if there is a slight breeze and it’s under 70. I forgot to look at the grass this morning, but the temp was under 40. Yesterday we had frost, YUK! That’s just wrong

I don’t know if I am having allergy attacks or getting a cold, OH NO. I started last year with a horrible case of the flu, so I am leery of being out and about this time of year. Looks like maybe I wasn’t careful enough, you know, WASH YOUR HANDS, DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE, type of stuff.

Oh well, such is life…and there is lots of blogging to do. Let me know what your week has been like and I hope you have a good one.

We played golf on Tuesday and this is how I felt.

This is how Mr Wonderful felt.

And I gave up…

What you can’t see…I had a car blanket wrapped around my legs too. LOL

And…the Reese’s Senior Bowl is in town so we made a quick stop in Mobile, Alabama. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate and the rain finally moved in. Didn’t bother me. I was so cold, I was over it anyway. LOL Damn this getting older. When I was even 5 years younger, this wouldn’t have stopped me. Now it’ been there, done that, have the T-shirt…and I do have the T-shirt. LOL

How about you? Are you a cold weather lover, or is the steamy tropics for you?

My Adventures – 2016 St Patty’s Road Trip

Posted on by

Mr Wonderful and I were off on our 2016 St Patty’s Road Trip, heading to New Orleans and Louisiana, for the St Patty’s Parade in Metarie.

This time, I was on my toes and as we passed the lot for movie props, I was able to get a few shots out the car window. It’s not every day I see a UFO and the odd assortment of vehicles, from buses to police cars.

2016-03-13 11.11.16-1We lived in Mobile, Alabama, back in the 90’s and Mr Wonderful belonged to a Mardi Gras association, the Pharoahs. We would jump on a bus and a bunch of us would head to New Orleans for the St Patty’s Parade, so we are familiar with the event. But it is New Orleans, so you never know what you might come across…

It starts out with walking groups. This parade is different from all the Mardi Gras parades. They allow you to walk in the street and approach the guys with flowers and beads, trading a smooch for a trinket…

2016-03-13 14.20.40The day was gorgeous, blue skies, lots of sunshine, floats and beads. The St Patty’s parade also differs from Mardi Gras parades by the stuff they toss. It’s not just beads and toys, but vegetables, everything you need for an Irish stew except for the meat. They toss heads of cabbage, onions, carrots and lemons. Ya gotta keep your eyes peeled because they can take you out.

The parade goes on for hours and after five of them, we were ready to move on, so it was off to Biloxi. We did some sight seeing, heading to the Pass Christian area, driving the coastline. It was windy and the sand drifted and piled up like the snow up north. The Gulf Coast area has still not completely recovered from Hurricane Ivan and Hurricane Katrina and I myself doubt if some of the people will ever come back. Me…I just cannot stay away.

biloxi316162I mean…look at that view. Even on a bad day, the sun shines through the clouds. Good food, good views and good company. So, if you are ever in the area, stop by for a cocktail at the beach. You won’t regret it.

ROAD TRIP

Every so often Mr Wonderful and I get a burr in our butt and feel the need to hit the road. This time, my mom and sister went with us to Biloxi, Mississippi and Nawlins, Louisiana.

Biloxi/New Orleans with Mom and Laura

We had a great time and are looking forward to the next road trip.

Class Heroes: Young Adult Thriller Books

Stephen Henning is the author of Class Heroes, a wonderful story about superheroes.

He has created these videos, mini movies, if you will, and I wanted to share them with you. What do you think? Is this something you would read?

From Stephen Henning

Well here’s a little treat for you. Slightly ahead of schedule I’ve published the fourth Class Heroes short film ‘The Hunt for Lolly Rosewood’. I’ve ambitiously entered the film into a short film festival and the deadline is Friday 11 September,
So here it is. Hope you enjoy it. Special thanks on this one to Parkour Generations (PKGen) for all their help in choreographing the chase scenes.
Teenager Lolly Rosewood has become one of the UK’s most-wanted terrorists, hunted by the security services, surviving on her wits and her super abilities. When she’s spotted in a London street, an MI6 agent takes it upon himself to bring her in…

You can see more here.
