Oh Sandra!!! Lucky you!!!! Is the food as good as she makes it sound? I made the mistake of visiting trip advisor.com and the reviews were very mixed! It almost made me nervous! I just told my Mom and she said, "You Rot!" LOL I told her to fly in and she could go with us!

Well, I made the mistake of waiting to make the kennel ressies for the dogs for June, and she is BOOKED! Now I have to find another kennel! There is one just up the street that they have been to before, but it's under new management and when I called and talked to her, I was just not thrilled. I don't know...they're dogs, right? How bad could it be? I might not have a choice now!

A lot of people I know don't "like" it because they had to wait... sheeze... we waited 2 hours for a table... we did not have ressies... I love her food and I do a lot of her recipes and love them all. BUT we're "suthern" and so is she! Her Mac and Cheese is to die for as is her fried chicken and I loved the collard greens. Mary had the "asparagus sandwich" from the menu, but I believe all the rest had the buffet! No complaints here!

Sure hope you get a kennel for the doggies!

Just dropping on our way to a graduation this afternoon....

Michele, I dont suppose you could get a dog sitter to come in and take care of them at home? We have one that takes care of our critters (2 cats, fish, guinea pig) AND she gets the mail for us, makes sure that our plants are watered, and only for $15 a day. If we HAD a dog she would walk them for 30 minutes or so too... and she is an adult, licensed and bonded.

Have a good evening all!

Just dropping in to say I'm starting to you ppl for beating me to Paula Deen's restaurant. I'm really starting to love her.

It is a thought to stop in on the way down to the cruise or on the way back for a meal. We'll have to discuss. But we are driving down, so its just questions of when/where/how long we want to stop for.


And for those who repeated my mantra, I want to thank you very much for your assistance, cause I am officially NOT PREGNANT

You may now turn the mantra into:

Maureen is going to be pregnant this month!!!

i now return you to your regularly scheduled cruise thread.

Let them eat cake!!!!

I have the coffee cake in the oven. It was a really easy recipe. I even printed it off to take to Myrtle beach with us. We'll have the condo, so eating breakfast and one other meal in the unit is what we usually do. Sometimes we eat a big lunch out and sometimes dinner. Sometimes we don't eat out at all..but then that's not really vacation is it? LOL Of course, for us to eat out now, it's getting expensive! Everyone is ordering off the adult menu, so no more of those cheap kids meals.

Has anyone been to a Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant? I know where the one is at MB...Steve swears he's never seen it??...how would I know where it is then? ANYWAY, from what I could tell, it is owned by Jimmy Buffet, but with Margaritaville there too, should we just go there instead.....OR, I am sure Allen would say, Go to both! LOL Just wondering if it's as good as Margariaville. The reviews say yes!

Cheeseburger In Paradise is not owned by Jimmy Buffett. They just license the name from him. I read that on the website somewhere. I am looking for it, but can't find it at the moment. It is buried rather deep, but I have seen it.

Now, for the fried chicken at Paula Deen's, it is better than my Grandmothers was.. I know, blaspheme!!! (sorry Mema ) I have to find banana pudding better than hers though, and believe me, I have tried!!!

I am going to be sooooooo sore tomorrow I just know it!!!!! I had to trim our 10 feet tall hedges this afternoon. I don't want to completely remove them even though I HATE them but we have NO choice. Our neighbours are really messy people and I don't want to have to look at their yard LOL so anyway my arms are so sore right now

I have been at the pool all day removing part of a set of shelves that covered one wall in the concession stand. We are making room for a slushy machine and a nacho chips and cheese machine. Then I had to install a new exhaust fan in the mens bathroom, and replace some electrical outlets and fix another electrical problem. Made 2 trips to Home Depot and I'm still not finished. I have another exhaust fan to fix and 2 outdoor speakers to replace.....before next Saturday!! Now I am having a cigar and a beverage on the front porch!!

Hi everyone
Maureen, congrats on not being pregnant. Now, get out of here and get busy...no pun intended
Everyone, congrats on the yardwork, lawn cutting, restauranting, baking, reading, renovating. You all deserve a few drinks
We had planned on doing a lot today but my step dad called and needed some help at home. I helped him finish off the patio by carrying some 40 slabs for them....ugh. At least they let us borrow the ladder so we could trim down the hedges.
