Aunt Catfish - Our Favorite Place

They are known for their cheese grits and their cinnamon rolls!

Homemade Biscuits

Are you hungry yet?

They had little bowls of all kinds of goodies for the omelettes

they would make especially for you.

Omelettes cooking on the griddle

"Sweet hunter" loves french toast but he always asks

for extra powdered sugar. 

He came to the table and said that they had the powdered sugar

where you could put all you wanted on it.

He was in Heaven.

Chocolate chip Mickey Mouse Pancakes.

More food than you can imagine!

I just had to show you this restaurant in Daytona Beach!

We have ate here before and love it.

But this is their Sunday Morning Brunch!

Oh my goodness! 

If you go to Daytona, by all means,

GO VISIT  Aunt Catfish On The River!!!

(if you visit their website, go to bottom and

click on Sunday Brunch- their pics are better than mine!)

TODAY I AM THANKFUL FOR .........today.

This is the day which the LORD

 hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Run Forrest Run

 

This is one of our favorite restaurants.
Bubba Gumps!
See the Run Forrest Run!
If you flip it over it says:
Stop Forrest Stop!
If you flip it to that it means that you need your waitress!

This is our second trip with our friends Gayle & Bruce.
The last time was in Gatlinburg and now in Florida.
We managed to find a Bubba Gumps in both places.

Isn't this little Snow White ironing board so cute?

What can I say?
No words needed for the pictures of the food!
It is delicious!

I just loved this movie. 
This is what you see outside the restaurant.
When the waitress is waiting our table she is
also calling out trivia questions about the movie!
Fun from Daytona Beach!

TODAY I AM THANKFUL FOR.......a day at home!

Rainforest Cafe

This is us on the right with our friends Gayle & Bruce on the left.
Gayle wanted us all to meet and eat at one of her favorite restaurants
in Orlando.  It is part of Disney but you can just eat in the restaurant if you want to.

This is Gayles daughter, son in law & daughters.
They loved the restaurant as much as we did!

When we walked in we saw this huge mushroom.
Check out those bar stools!
Aren't they so cute!

There were big aquariums all over the restaurant.
It is really something worth seeing.

This big snake was hanging above our table.
Every few minutes you would hear all the animals come alive.
They would move and make sounds. 
It was the neatest place.

Look at all those aquariums!
The fish were beautiful.

This big gorrilla would move and make loud sounds
just like we were really in the forest.

So did he!

The butterflies were giants but flapped their wings just like they were real.

Isn't this beautiful?

I loved this place. 
The food was wonderful.
I usually take lots of food pictures
but there was so much to see I forgot about the food.
We had so much fun.
It was well worth going. 
It is not just a restaurant.
It is an experience.
My Grands would have loved this place!

TODAY I AM THANKFUL FOR.........friendship.
There is more on our trip. Part 3 coming next.

Special Prayer Request

Early this morning one of our dear friends lost her battle with cancer.

So as I post our fun times with Gayle & Bruce, it makes me thankful

that we have these memories and fun times.

We never know if we will have tomorrow. 

Kathy was only 50 years old and so full of life. 

So if you are blessed to have a friend, hold on to them, love them,

cherish them, stay in contact with them

 because we just don't know what tomorrow holds.

A few weeks ago Kathy asked me for my chocolate cake recipe

 and she shared her famous homemade soup with me.

She didn't even realize that she was sick then.

I am so thankful for facebook because that is where

we reconnected after so many years.

Please keep this family in your prayers.

I am thankful to have known her.

Friends & Fun

A couple of weeks ago we were blessed by some
good friends that invited us to go to Florida with them.
We stayed 3 nights in Orlando and then 3 nights in Daytona!
I wish I had took pictures of the inside of these condos.
They were beautiful.

Do you remember our friends Bruce & Gayle that
were married a few months ago?
They invited us on this trip and paid for it!
What a blessing!

They had invited us to go to Disney but we didn't think that
"Sweet Hunter" could walk like that with his back.
So we chose to relax by the pool while they went to Universal.
They had gave us tickets to go to Sea World so the last day we
went there.

We thought that this was just a show and there wouldn't
be a lot of walking but you still have to walk.
It was beautiful there.

We had the best time watching this show!

Remember the whale that pulled that girl down by her pony tail
and she drowned? 
This is the show that she worked at and loved.
They don't get in the water with them anymore.

I can't tell you how much we enjoyed this show.
It was worth the walk.

It amazed me that the trainers could make them do whatever they wanted.

As we were walking back I took a few pictures of random things.
I thought this was so pretty.

There was lots of water and lots of flowers.
I posted on some of the pictures in my last post.

I have never really liked pink flamingos. You know, the kinds that
are in peoples yards?  But I liked these!!!
We had so much fun with our friends even though we all did our own thing!


TODAY I AM THANKFUL FOR.........
friends who share!

A friend loveth at all times........
Proverbs 17:17

Coming Soon....Part 2 of our trip.
