Willy-Nilly

So, so happy Tanya's back with Willy Nilly Friday!! Yippee. 

1. After I returned from my trip to New York. (Just scroll back to previous posts to read about that!!) my daughter and I went to Dover Downs Casino in Dover, Delaware. Yes, I guess I have to admit that I have fallen by the wayside... gambling my meager pennies away. Oh geez, what is this world coming to!! Just to let you know I am a very cautious player. I have to admit folks it's a barrel of fun. 



2. Then I did a day trip with my feller down to Nags Head, N.C. just to go out to lunch!! My Lordy, those shrimp were out of this world. Where you ask? Oh, at Miller's on the Sound. The view was amazing, too!!


3. We stopped in Grandy, N. C. for fresh peaches. We've really been enjoying those things. The biggest ones I've ever seen and they were freestone, too. Gotta love that. I made turnovers the first night. Okay, I did not take the picture of the turnovers but got it off a recipe site (don't ask me which one...I forgot). I did however take that one of the peaches on my pretty green platter. 


4. I have been finally figuring out how to utilize google+ and I love it. Yes, I know some of you think it's a waste of time. Once I discovered that posting my pictures into a 'community' you get a lot more hits. I peruse other people's pictures to get ideas for my art work, to pin on Pinterest, to connect with other bloggers and to just enjoy the wide range of wonderful photography that is out there. You ought to try it. And, no Google+ did not ask me to say that!! 

5. I am watching the little hummers a lot these days. They will soon be leaving for parts south and I will miss them. They've been a real joy to me this summer. 

Tootle do,

  2. The Casino looks inviting, but I must stay out of there, as I'm afraid it would be addictive. Those shrimp look scrumptious! That's MY kind of road trip! Peaches and peach pies are to die for! Google + is a mystery to me! Our Hummers are getting a little antsy, so they may be thinking of flying south. I don't know for sure, but you may be having too much fun!!! ;)

  4. Awesome Willy Nilly! Love the two trips you made. I love those juicy delicious peaches--I bought two one day and a couple of days alter went to eat them, and one was almost completely bruised! I got one bite and gave the other to Russell. :(

  5. 1. I won't hold it against you. I go once a year to a casino about an hour away and enjoy playing the slots.
    2. Oh those shrimp do look delicious.
    3. We love fresh peaches too.
    4. I joined Google + but don't do anything on it.
    5. How fun to have humming birds around to enjoy.
