{ Enjoying the day, all 80 degrees of it }
It's a gorgeous day here in Arizona, it's 80 degrees but cloudy which makes it amazing to be outside.
We set off around noon to run some errands and first ended up stopping in at Islands for lunch. Let me tell you, if not just for the cutest looking restaurant ever, you have to go for their Onion Rings. Lordy, I will NEVER eat onion rings anywhere else for as long as I live, those were the best I've ever had.
Islands is a cute little joint, it's all about surf and the tropics, from the colorful birds hanging from the ceiling, the greenery and the thatched roofs to the multiple tv's spread out with nothing but surf videos on.
The biggest BEST onion rings ever and the ranch dressing they serve them with? TO.DIE.FOR
Jasmine had the JR Wave with cheese
Nicholas had the Tiki Tenders and he's putting salt and pepper on his fries *snicker*
This was my Hula burger. Mushrooms and swiss cheese on a wheat bun...YUM!
And here is Curt's Hawaiian....teriyaki sauce and pineapple rings. He said it was really good.
On the way home, the kids had the windows open and were "apparently" fighting the wind LOL
Sadly enough, just about 2 minutes from home we have a water irrigation system or little aquaduct thing....there was a ton of cops cars and fire trucks as well as dive teams...and right on the edge already pulled from the water was a dead body. I don't think I'll ever get that vision off my mind, it was just so heartbreaking and horrible at the same time, and to think it's so close to home. I pray for the victim whoever he/she was.
Well I'm off to watch some more Catherine Cookson movies....loving them.
Oh a couple of you asked me again what camera I have. I have the Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd. Inexpensive and amazing, I am completely in love with this camera.
Anyway, enough babbling, have yourselves a wonderful Saturday evening and I'll be back tomorrow with more of my usual rambling I'm sure.
