Need a cool drink in this sweltering heat?   I don’t know about you, but I drink loads of ice water in the summertime. Since I am a type 2 diabetic, I need to watch what I eat and drink.   My assistant, Kayla, found a recipe for the Frozen Lemonade Protein Shake online and we decided to try it out. Here is the inspirational video below...  FatLossDietician Ingredients :   Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade, Vanilla Protein powder, and ice. Kayla happened to have the protein powder.  I am sure whatever vanilla protein powder you have will work. If you have lemon protein powder, that might work even better. We had to experiment since the video we watched did not have exact amounts.   We finally decided that what tasted the best was using a glassful of ice, a tablespoon of protein powder, and one can of lemonade worked the best. I have a blender that grinds ice very nicely.  So, we started with the ice, added the protein powder, and then the can of lemonade.   It frothed great and the fl

Recently, we had the opportunity to get together with Catherine Powers, author of The Spree of '83 , so it was decided we'd meet her halfway on June 13th, 2024, and would eat lunch together and of course, chat it up, our specialty 😉. We couldn't have asked for a better day to visit! Check out the view!  We met with Catherine at BuddlyLou's in Hancock, Maryland. When we entered the parking lot, our eyes were immediately drawn to BuddyLou's restaurant. It was like a beacon of joy, bursting with color and life.  As we entered we were greeted with antiques and more. The walls were decorated with whimsical items. It was impossible to not look at everything.  Entering the building, you see the same colorful and fun decor with antiques and more.  Of course, a visit to the restroom was made (many times ;) with a greeting from the shell lady. We enjoyed our visit with Catherine and learned much from her about her life on the road with Freddy and many other country artists.

  Continuing our journey on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, we stopped at two other lighthouses and the first was Cape Hatteras Light Station. In 1999, Cape Hatteras lighthouse was moved from its original location to save it from going out to sea. For more information on the lighthouse click the link >>  Cape Hatteras National Seashore (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)   Currently the lighthouse is closed for restoration. The scaffolding is incredible to look at. Not only is there scaffolding outside but also inside the lighthouse.  Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Restoration Project - Cape Hatteras National Seashore (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) The Park Service is preserving two other buildings.  The buildings are opened to the public where you will discover the history of the lighthouse and how the lighthouse moved.   I found the process of moving the lighthouse fascinating.   It was worth the stop. On our way back from Cape Hatteras we stopped at another location.
