Since I have joined the 365 Project I don't get to my blog very often and I apologize for that but not much is going on anyway. The big news this week is that we just celebrated our 11th anniversary. But when Kirby counts it up he comes up with something like 41 years. That is because he counts all the years we have been married - to anyone! He is so funny.

I am sitting here now absolutely stuffed. We went to brunch today to celebrate our anniversary. But that wasn't until after we visited the Swamp Garden at Magnolia Plantation. We never tire of it and it is never the same. We see different things each time we are there. And the big bonus for Jake is that he gets to go with us! He likes going but today he got really hot. We had water for him of course and there was a lot of shade. It is just the humidity. But Kirby and I don't let it slow us down - we just start early in the day. So we were there by 9 AM - before the crowds and before the bugs. It really was a lovely day with a gentle breeze blowing.

After we finished at the gardens we went to our favorite dog friendly cantina - Fuel. You have seen it here before and you probably will see it again. We were there last year for our anniversary so I guess it has become a tradition. Fuel is built in an old gas station and has a patio that is very, very dog friendly! Jake loves it and so do all the other guest that go there. Everyone gets along very well and we all have a good time. To say nothing of their great food. Kirby and I both decided on the Huevos Rancheros made with a quesadilla and black beans with salsa...very, very good. And they have my favorite pale ale - Drifter. (you can click on either "fuel" or "drifter" to go to their website.)

So, the hour is still fairly early, we have had fresh air and exercise and we have dined well. Great day so far!! Here are some pictures from our day.
