Here it is, Sunday already. What a week. We are just back from camping at Seminole State Park in Georgia.
It never gets old looking at the lake and I sometimes wish we lived there. I couldn't get the walking in as I usually do because I injured my knee. Again.
Just for the record it was through my own dumbassery. I was cleaning off a few steps at home and stepped back, without looking, because I thought I was already on the bottom step. Yeaaah.....flying through the air is an amazingly scary experience. Honestly, I could have done a worse injury so........lesson learned and do I feel like a dope. Ugh.
Here's the roundup for Sunday Salon.
Books / For fiction I have a mystery by Lisa Unger featuring stalking and intrigue and a collection of old Maeve Binchy short stories.
A Few of the Girls by Maeve Binchy
Last Girl Ghosted by Lisa Unger
Sipping / I’m not always a seasonal sipper. It’s usually whites I seek out when it’s hot but here are some reds that are our go-to no matter what the temperatures outdoors.
Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon, a Jadot Beaujolais and a George Duboeuf Beaujolais and a Malbec. The wine cooler has more whites now than red but it's ever changing on the mix.
Beautiful spring flowers and all!
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you, Mae.
DeleteHey! I am just finishing up Last Girl Ghosted!
ReplyDeleteJackie, I guess you must be liking it! I loved the twist about the identites and the secrets. Hope you find that Chowerland book we talked about interesting as well.
DeleteUgh... so sorry about your knee! Hope you are back to walking soon. The flowers are beautiful! We've been in CT the last week or so, then drove up to central NY Friday to see my parents for Easter. It's snowing here this morning...must get back to FL soon!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn- Snow?! In April?? Yes, you need to get back here, lol. We've had some rain but otherwise no threatening weather. Thanks for the thoughts on my knee. I am missing walking but have an appointment at the Tallahassee Orthopedic center tomorrow.
DeleteThe Lake does look like a place to have a nice relaxing time!
ReplyDeleteLast Girl Ghosted is on my TBR, keep us posted on what you think of it.
Have a wonderful week ahead and thanks for visiting us!

Elza, the lake is so pretty...and relaxing.
DeleteOut of those five bottles, which is the most "go-to"? :)
ReplyDeleteBryan, probably the Beaujolais. That Cabernet is a good hearty wine and goes well with meats but we do love a Beaujolais.
DeleteOh no! So sorry about the fall! Good thing you have wine on hand!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are lovely!
Thanks so much Jinjer! Doing a little better & going to the doctor tomorrow.
DeleteHoping your Easter was serene... Cheers
ReplyDeleteI love mandevilla! Last year, I bought a plant that looked so much like it, but was half the price at Home Depot. It was called dipladenia.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well today!
Stacy, this is my first plant like this and it's gorgeous. I think I may try to find a trellis for it n case it actually does climb.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your fall. I've fallen a few times while I have been here in France.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your wines. The cheese looks great, too.
Deb, please be careful wandering aroubd there! Can't wait to see your photos.
DeleteHope you recover soon from your trip. I hate steps for that reason alone! Last Girl Ghostd I started, but see I didn't register it on Goodreads so maybe I didn't finish it! If so if may not have been memorable enough to leave a lasting memory. Enjoy it though.
ReplyDeleteHarvee, thank you so much. I went to the doctor today and it's healing...slowly :-) I did like that book so I will see if I can get into any more by Lisa Unger. Thanks for visiting
Deleteoh such glorious flowers! sorry to hear you fell. i am still recovering with my ribs after slipping in the bathroom in august!! the ribcage is a mysterious thing :) sounds like you were very lucky really ... cheers sherry
ReplyDeleteSherry, Thanks for your good wishes. I'm glad you are continuing to heal!
DeleteMarvelous photo of the white heron in flight!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your knee/fall. I had a similar situation where I was walking across a parking lot, talking to my husband, and didn't see the concrete wheel bumper and nearly landed on my face. I was able to stay upright, but my hip and knee twisted the wrong way and I was sore for a few days. Just glad I didn't fall and break anything. Sounds like you got lucky, too.
I like all of those wines, but haven't tried that particular Malbec. It's been years since I've had a Duboeuf. Yum!
Gorgeous azaleas (I always have to spellcheck azaleas!) and Mandevilla. We were just in Tennessee and enjoyed all the spring color.
Have a good week!
Les, I snap so many photos with my phone and hope I can catch a bird in flight. Sometimes I'm lucky.
DeleteYeas, I was actually fortunate to not have done worse damage when I fell. I need ot be more careful!
