I had deep-fried salt with gravy on it for dinner tonight and now I'm drinking wine out of a brown paper bag. Don't let it be said that we don't travel in style. You have to love southern cooking.

The children's song about the little ducks leaving the nest to fly away has always been one of my favorites. Every mother has seen their babies fly away and rejoiced. Life comes full circle. Animals live that same cycle. Babies grow up. Birds leave the nest. Life goes on. So when the three ducks show up every year near my patio I am not surprised. But I am puzzled that it always seems to be the same three. Something just doesn't seem right. It appears the one did not fly away at all. Five little ducks Went out to play Over the hills and far away. The mommy duck went "quack, quack quack," Four little ducks came swimming back... And then Three Two and One. A drake, a female duck (a hen) and a not quite a drake but still not a hen gather here on the 5th green of the golf course. She leads and the other two follow along obediently. They eat, sleep, and guard each other. Each and every day this time of year they come. I have not named them. Jinxing them would be very pos...
I will be on the road next week to Oklahoma/Arizona too. Hopefully I can stay away from the deep fried salt!! Hope you are having fun...
ReplyDeleteBe very carefull... that food can sneak up on you and it is in your stomach before you know what has happened.
DeleteIt has been too long since we traveled. We have a lot of friends heading down south and the breakfasts are the best. Some of the most tasty breakfast meals we ever had were in Maryland and Virginia.
ReplyDeleteI love traveling with family. We always seems to reconnect so beautifully. We will be in Italy soon.
