Slowly recovering from our Spring Fling...
Woke this morning to ice and 28 degrees! My poor sprouting daffodils are in a state of shock.
Baked a cherry pie to go with coffee...have the house warmed back up to 70 degrees...and all is right with my world.
Our Escape was wonderful.
We tried the newly moved Fairway Restaurant nearby...they recently moved from across from the fairgrounds to where the Double Decker used to be. The Double Decker is now located by Robe Ann Park.
The new owners have opened out the dining area and it is spacious and light...a nice change.
The food is amazing...and the portions huge. Just finished off the remains yesterday! The forever BLT and Fries..finally gone.
Found a strawberry and cream pound-cake candle for our room...so we had to have these as well.
Strawberry and cream pound-cake muffins.
And enjoyed coffee and toast and gravy at The Breakfast Company.
Made the not-to-be-repeated mistake of trying to find news on the television about the Ukraine War before turning in...as we have both been following it closely.
OMFG!!!
First-off..when did 965 channels become a thing???
SERIOUSLY???
And who watches The Emeril Cooking Show at 11:00 PM???
(...I might have just reached "Get OFF My Lawn" years old...)
After scrolling forever...we finally just gave up...and became a little nostalgic
"Remember when there was 4, 6, 8, 13 and sometimes 20...and the TV Station signed off at night...an American flag and the national anthem and a test pattern...then TV was just over for the day???"
"Rabbit Ears and Aluminum Foil"
Good times.
sigh
But we are back...and have April's trek taking shape...and making reservations and such. Hopefully, it will be warmer, by then.
"No...you can't leave me again...ever!!!"

Today marks 31 days of Putin's Invasion.
Kyiv is still standing.
Zelenskyy is fine.
And things aren't going as planned for the Russians...who said yesterday that they were scaling back their operation...lol
Hope they soon scale it back to Russia where they belong.
I don't really follow basketball, March Madness or the Final Four...dabbled in it when the boys were growing up with a house full of boys and their friends...Reggie Miller and Micheal Jordan posters on the wall and the game on the tube...hot pizzas and happy chaos...but not so much now.
Then The Peacocks beat Kentucky.
I knew because it was headline news.
Now they have beaten 3 top teams...and are part of The Elite Eight.
The Peacocks.
Who would have thought???
So here they are...poised to take on Carolina tonight...and I am kind of hoping they win the Final Four...lol
Go Peacocks!!!!!
Another thing took me right back to the boys childhood the other day...this card.
Which we spent years and a lot of cash trying to find.
It sold at an auction yesterday.
First Edition.
Mint Condition.
$420,000.
(...the kids were right...)
Who knew???
Have a Wonderful Sunday!
