No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Gorgeous sunrise

As the month of June draws to a close, we have been blessed with sensational sunrises of which this is one. 
I mentioned the other day when we surprised Stephanie at Monroe's BBQ for her retirement party, one of the local papers was there taking photos and such. This particular restaurant had been voted the #1 BBQ place in Jacksonville. The photographer came by our table more than once to take photos of us ladies and gentleman and said we should watch for the story in the paper. That was pretty cool, having Stephanie's retirement be front page news!! Unfortunately for Monroes, I have been at 4Rivers and I have to tell you, their brisket beats Monroes by a long shot. In fact, for the sake of research, I ate bbq twice on Saturday---once with my Victory friends and then for dinner with Justin. Hands down, 4Rivers is far better. Makes my mouth water now even thinking about it!

Another thing making my mouth water is Justin trying a new recipe for dinner rolls. It's one I found on Facebook and it looks easy enough. I can say that because I am not the one making the rolls. 

The other day Justin was at Publix and found packages of fresh cut rhubarb in the produce dept. I have never seen this before and was surprised it was there. The frozen stuff is sometimes available but fresh cut is a first, at least for us. He didn't buy any but sent me the picture which I posted on Facebook. No one else can believe either. Those folks up north scoff that we would have to buy it when it's either free or much cheaper for them. This is sold at $1.16 a pound. Makes me think of rhubarb crunch. I should make some! 
Today was my at-home day as I enjoy watching JAG reruns on the Comcast preview station. Not even my radio shows take precedence over my JAG jag! My mom watches this program as well, so like Linda and me with The Five, we are watching together. The difference is that I am not chatting with Mom at the same time. I have seen many if not most of the episodes before but it's just fun to revisit the story line and the places they go. Sometimes they are at NASJAX, which is right down the street from me. Yes, I could be at the pool, but that's okay, I can skip once a week for this!
