Project 365 Day 119 - April 28th

It was supposed to be a beautiful day at the ballpark for a t-ball game, but I think Mother Nature had other things in mind.  In the end, it didn't rain until much later in the night.

Project 365 Day 111 - April 20th

I've said before that I'm all for supporting local businesses.  Well today, Kathy took me to one that I've heard rave reviews about but hadn't yet tried... Gelato Joe's.

If you're a lover of italian food and especially desserts, this is definitely a place you have to try.  They serve everything from sandwiches to pasta to Italian Ice.. and of course, gelato.  The customer service is wonderful, the prices are amazingly low for the quality of what you're given, and the taste is to die for.  

For my first visit, I opted for the raspberry gelato and my son had the banana pudding italian custard.  I also picked up a few goodies to take home:  the biggest chocolate covered strawberry I have ever seen in my life, a huge slice of bread pudding (for Tony since it's one of his favorite desserts), and the best cannoli I've tasted (the canonoli shell was dipped in chocolate).  One of my favorite things about Gelato Joe's is that everything is made fresh in-house.  If you want to find out more, or to see their full menu, they have a website you should definitely check out.

I can't wait to go back and take my family so we can sample some more of their deliciousness!!!

 

Project 365 Day 110 - April 19th

I love to look at old buildings, and not just the front of the buildings, but all sides and angles.  This shot was taken from the passenger seat of our car while waiting on my husband to come out of a nearby store. 

Project 365 Day 104 - April 13th

I am a huge fan of local businesses.  As someone who is working hard to start my own business, I believe that giving support to all types of businesses is great for the economy, but I prefer to give my money to the smaller local businesses whenever possible.  Living in a smaller town has some advantages - one being that we have lots of small local businesses.  One of my newest favorites is Prissy Pots.  Located on Highway 59 in the heart of downtown Robertsdale, AL, Prissy Pots has tons of cute and quirky gifts that will make even the most crochety old woman feel like a girly-girl.

One of my favorite things about Prissy Pots is that their prices are affordable.  If you're interested in checking out their website, you can do so here.  I have not been asked to support the shop or promote them in any way... I am just pointing out a cool little shop that I think deserves some promotion.

Project 365 Day 94 - April 3rd

After three years living in Baldwin County, we finally stopped to explore the  Foley Railroad Museum.  I loved seeing all of the old traincars and the huge indoor train set they have inside.

Project 365 Day 31 - January 31st

I was so excited to finally get outside today.  My wound had healed up enough that I was able to cover it with a bandage and go out with my hubby.  I needed to go to Michael's to pick up some yarn for a hat order.  YAY... my first one!

On the way toward the Eastern Shore, the part of Baldwin County where Michael's is located, I saw this water tower off in the distance.  My hubby thought I was nuts that I got so excited over it since we'd lived in Loxley for a couple of years before moving to our current home and it had been there all along.  Funny.. I've never noticed it.

On our way back home, we stopped at a local grocery store in Loxley that has great prices on meat.  While Tony was inside shopping, Keiran and I went outside to enjoy the beautiful weather.  It was then that I noticed the water tower I'd seen earlier was just across the street.  I had my camera on me, as I almost always do, so I pulled it out and started snapping away.  I love the way the tower, unlike most, has a bluish silver color to it, which glistened in the sunlight.
