Southbound

Mel has headed south for the winter.....warm water and warm temperatures....AHHHHH!!!!!

I will miss him terribly!!!!

I found out a couple days ago that I got my time off in January to head south as well...YIPEE!!!!!

It was a crazy few weeks trying to get everything ready before he left.   I made a huge batch of spaghetti (frozen in portions), lots of quinoa burgers, and dozens of muffins.

these were Pumpkin cranberry....yummy!!!!

Also made Banana Pecan and Blueberry Bran

Have you ever thought about how much you would need to take in general supplies for a winter somewhere else??? It is amazing to try to figure it all out.   Luckily he has been doing this trip for several years so there is an idea at least of how many bars of soap, containers of deodorant, rolls of TP, etc.  one might need.  

Alot of supplies can be purchased down there, but the quality is not always the same and you have to make a trip into the bigger city to do your shopping.   If you are one who is a label reader and eats a lot of health foods, it can be hard to find what you want, so for some things it is just easier to take what you will need.   (8-10 jars of Peanut butter!!!!, 3 lbs. each of various nuts and seeds, just for starters)

It's doing the whole winter of shopping at once.....

I am shopped out!!!  hee hee

Because I am soo A-type personality, I have made a spreadsheet on the computer so next year will be easier.

He should be arriving at his destination by tomorrow afternoon, I can't wait to Skype!!!!!

Here is a picture that was sent by a friend down there a little while back.....What we are missing!!!!

"relax and take it easy!!"

Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!!!
