Mr. Hawthorne's Dinner.
Tonight, it's
Mahi Mahi Moreovers.
I had hidden some of the mahi mahi
I had left from my fish tacos
the other day
so I could stretch another meal out of it.
The Puppies At Play.
Junior and Giada are always up for a good game
of tug-of-war.
Dixie is a happy dog.
Her mama loves her.
Poor Youngest Hawthorne.
If you've been a regular reader,
you may remember Youngest Hawthorne's
problems with the birds.
It seems the sea gulls
have a certain proclivity for his car.
See my post about it here.
Apparently,
this penchant is not limited to just the gulls.
Friday Lunch At The Hawthornes - Pork Tenderloin With An Orange/Pineapple Sauce, Brown And Wild Rice, Broccoli, And Popovers.
Last week,
I thawed out a package of pork tenderloins
and had this meal.
I still had one of the loins
waiting for me to cook,
so I came up with this.

Rosie's Bouquet.
Rosie went through her garden
and picked a bunch of flowers this morning.
Rosie Does Breakfast.
Rosie has a houseful of chilluns -
three of her own
and numerous others who show up,
inevitably at meal times.
Here's a quick breakfast they all love.
Dixie Enjoys Time In The Pool.
Dixie likes to do this.
Every day.
All day long.
And it's not enough
for her to have the pool
all to herself.
She demands that I come out
and witness every jump.
She knows the drill,
but I must be there to tell her
to "go to the end"
so she doesn't jump in the shallow end.
And she does the same little twirl
every time she jumps in.

Colington Harbour's Blessing Of The Fleet.
Every Memorial Weekend Saturday,
Colington Harbour has a humbling
and sobering ceremony -
The Blessing Of The Fleet.
Participating boaters await in canals
outside the main harbor
until time to parade in.
Local clergy pray for the Lord
to protect our watermen -
to keep them safe from wind,
rain, and perils of the deep.
The boats then file by, one by one,
and are blessed by the sprinkling of water.
I was going to write about the history
of Memorial Day,
but then saw that my friend, Kathy,
of Reinventing A Boomer Blogdom
had already posted beautifully about it,
so please check out the above link
and read what Kathy has to say.
I attended this event last year
and blogged about it HERE.
Compare and contrast,
my little grasshoppers.
Interesting I used some of the same pictures
and shot some of the same views.
