Hello all. Hope your weekends were fun and eventful. Saturday my husband suggested that we go to the farmers market in Lake Mary, so we went. Its been a year since I have been to one. The first time ever I visited one, was in San Diego. Last May on vacation to visit my best friend who moved out there a few years back. It was amazing! Tons of different foods, plants, beachware, and drinks. And it was a huge event. I am not a fan of organic foods, but they had this garlic spread that was to die for! It was a shame that we spent over $20 bucks on this stuff, and well.. should have packed it in my luggage, and not my carry on. Airport security threw it a way for me..*sigh*
This Saturday event will now be something that we do on a weekly basis. We are trying to eat better, so what better way the farm fresh produce! The tomatoes were huge! Its a good thing I love tomatoes!! We also discovered a local coffee shop that has amazing coffee flavors. I think its better then Starbucks! Its called "Blessed Bean" and they are located in Casselberry. It was a dark roast, and rich in flavor, which is a winning combination! If you get the chance to go to the Lake Mary Farmers Market, check them out. You wont be disappointed.
Nest weekend, we are going to check out the one on Red Bug Road that was mentioned to me from one of my friends from the Patio. Since I am new to this, I need help and advice on the ones to go to, and the ones to avoid. If any of you reading this knows of a great place to go, please feel free to mention it to me. I will go and have a looksee:)
I hope that you all had a great weekend as well.
Till next time..

It's that time of the week again. What did you think I was going to say? That it's Monday again?? lol Well, its that too, but also time for my weekly blog session for my computer class in school. Are you excited yet? Yeah, I didn't think so, but I am going to ramble on anyway. Somebody just might see it and get a laugh or two so, why not!
We had a holiday this weekend, but I prefer to call it "Happy Family Day." That's what I did with my holiday.. Family. I have my reasons for not calling it "Easter," but I will keep that opinion to myself for the time being. Happy Family Day was spent with my extended family members, The Roketa's , at The Patio. I was also informed yesterday, that I am not "officially" A member of the Roketa clan, and it just totally made my day! We had a pot luck dinner with Cari and Rick who provided the ham and corn on the cob to start. Then about 20 + people came over with their covered dishes and we had a ton of food to eat! After dinner was served, 2 family members hid the holiday eggs for every one to look for.. yes, even the adults had to look for them. I had fun doing it. I even scored 5 bucks!
After all of the fun a merriment, we sat down to enjoy a fun and wacky game of "Cards Against Humanity." If you have even played it, you know how wild these card games can get!!! This game is always fun when you have lots of people playing. The best is listening to every ones picked responses to the question that was asked. I can tell you that if you get offended easily, then this game is not for you.
At the end of the day, we were all tired and had full bellies. I love the friends that I have, and if it had not been for myspace, I just don't know where I would be today. Because of a man Named Kenny Roketa, I have found my family. They always say you cant pick your family, but you can pick your friends... That's not true. You can pick family because they picked me!! THANK YOU for making me apart of this wonderful and loving family!!!
Happy Monday to all. The weekend may be over, but I did have loads of fun with family and friends all 3 days. I am lucky to know the people I do:) Started off on Friday with a card game on the Patio. just a few friends getting together to play a game called Hand and Foot. Its like rummy, but on steroids lol. Fun times indeed. I always have a blast with these people. They make you laugh and giggle and well, at times piss your pants. Yeah, I have been there on may occasions! But good times are always to be had on the Patio, so bring a towel just in case:)
Saturday morning we time to visit with Kenli and help celebrate her 2ed birthday. My, how she has grown up in her 2 short years on this planet. Since Rosie has 4 parents now, you can imagine how many people were there to show love for this one little girl. Loved seeing her rosie cheeks and her saying love you. Made me tear up a bit. Got lots of pictures of her and all of her loved ones. She' such a joy and I am glad she' in our lives.
Sunday was the first Sunday night of our new pot luck crew get together. This was decided a few weeks ago at my wedding, as a way for all of to try and see each other at least once a month. It was a hit! So much food and fun for one day, but the patio peeps did it again!!! And the best part... No making food for tonight!
that's all for now.. till next time.....Mary
Hello All.
This is somewhat new to me. I have started blogs in the past, but its not something that stuck with my over time. I totally forgot the title, or where it was, or even what I named it. I started one 2 years ago about being a grandmother, but yet not. I am in the sense of the word, I just don't get to hear it. My daughter chose adoption. At the time, I didn't want it to be that way, I mean, this was my first grandchild, and I wanted to be the awesome grandmother I know that I can be. But as I look back over the last 2 years, this is how it was always meant to be. I am now very ok with how all of this went down.
This is a little information about me and what I like and don't like.. ya know, stuff and thangs.. If you are a fan of The Walking Dead, then you will totally get that statement, tee hee. So, by that last statement, I guess you can tell that I am a big fan. I am. Its the only show on TV right now that I will sit down and watch. NO waiting on the DVR, the next day, or even next week. AS of now, its not back on till October, so my Sunday nights are at as loss, but only for a while. I am also so a fan Of Once upon a Time, Continuum, Revolution, and King of The Nerds. It might look as if I am always in from of the tv, but I am not. I prefer to be on the computer, or even watch Netflix. I hardly am ever camped out in front of the boob tube, even though its 50 inches.
I am a reader and I still prefer paperback/hardback over Nook, or Kindle. I like the feel of the pages turning, or even dog tagging the corner of the pages. I love to read books by Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, J.D Robb, Stephanie Meyer, John Saul, and many, many others. Right now, I am finishing the final book in The Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay. Cant wait to finish the book, and the release of the movie coming in November. Woot Woot! Once I finish this last book, I will start on the book series beginning with the book Divergent. I hear its totally like, awesome dude!
I am a mother to 4 grown children, and many fur babies. I am an animal lover, and cant stand the fact that there are people out there who get a thrill out of harming them. I will totally cry at the smallest thing when it comes to animals. I allow my babies to sleep with me, kiss my face, jump on the couch ect. my animals, are family, so if you ever come to my house, you have to remember, they live there, you don't!
Till next time...
Mary
