Marlee’s Caribbean Restaurant in Superior | MARLEE'S in Superior Dinning Update: The atmosphere when you initially enter the building is pretty cool. The female Pirate manikin sets  the mood (for most men).....Serves, in my opinion for a proclaimed upper end establishment needs a little work. But, all in all about a 7 1/2 rating. Now the food......AAAARRRRR matety's, it be as tasties as it comes. From the oyster soup to the shark & blackened catfish.....wonderfully perpared. Now on the downside, the margarita's.....yeah might do without, the mix is a bit on the bitter side for this longtime Margaritaville drinker. But we did manage to slam them down like the buccaneers of old. Finally, the sticker shock....when one receives a fine meal, do not be surprized to see your bill. It was a bit high, but in my opinion worth every penny to share a new dining experience with Sandra.  Peace!

For two blessed weeks I have been following, bidding, tracking other bids on some quilts being sold on line, in an auction for Camp Heartland.....a good cause, nice place for HIV childern....anyhoot, I'm on these quilts like bubba at a buffet.....logging in, checking bids, rebidding to stay ahead.......and tonight at 7pm it was over......OVER!  I missed out on the END bids.......Jump'in Jack Flash, Good Golly Miss Bidding Molly.......You have to understand, it was also our 17th anniversary today, your Golden Anniversary as well. And the little woman & I were out celebrating our monumental feat of marital bliss. And I missed it.........the last bid.........I ended up with something that appears very similar to a bunch of used hankys sewed together.......AND!, I might add, it cost me $22 to boot...........Peace!

I'm here to tell ya'all this morn'in was one of Minnesota's prime spring weather handouts. Rained like a dickens all last night & the wind howled like a banshee. Woke up to a whooping 28 degrees. This should have sent up the 1st red flag for a Minnesota life timer. Got into my vehicle with a ton of frozen pine needles stuck to the windshield. My daily commute consists of a 48 mile drive, all but 3 miles by freeway. Now, knowing that it had rained all night & froze my second red flag should have leaped up....freeway, 70 mph.....Any true blue blood Minnesotan knows, 1) you do not go 70 mph on icy roads, 2) you do not use your cruise control on icy roads. So, as I hit the bottom of the entrance ramp, soaring somewhere near 73 mph, I pushed in my cruise & settled back with a steaming hot cup of french vanilla java. 1/3 of the way into my journey I approached one of the many bridges on the route. Only, this bridge has a warning sign just before you get to it. You know the ones with a vehicle swerveing from side to side, the old SS kind of deal. Well just at that moment a truck in the left hand lane decided to move into my lane, it was also moving at.....we'll say 70 mph or better. NOW, I know what your think'in. Could have been the same thing that I was think'in in that split second.....I'M DEAD! That's when I seen ICE on the bridge. Heavens to Murgatroid!! I know that I CAN NOT touch my brakes. And the truck in front of me slides to the right & then to the left, just enough to send my two red flagged Minnesota blue blood heart into hipper rhythm. As I gripped the wheel with both hands knowing I was about to go on the famous Minnesota Winter Driving Tilt-A Whirl. You know the one where you hang on for dear life because for the next 30 to 45 seconds there isn't a dang thing you can do. RULES to follow: DO NOT drive 70 mph or faster on icy roads. DO NOT use cruise control on icy roads. And, DO NOT put your mug of hot steaming french vanilla java on your front seat while driving 70 mph or faster with the cruise control on!   Peace!!
Stay Tuned...there is always more to come.

It is my belief that at some point in a persons life. He or She look's back & says "If I had only done it all differently" or "If I could do it all over again, I would"
....All the up's, the down's, the love's, the hurt's, the pain's, the joy's, the gain's, the loses, the learning's, the failure's, the riches, the scraping of barrel's, the birth's & the death's........I would not change a single thing!
Because if I could, I would have never met each & every person who has entered & exited or experienced the feeling of every emotion during my life.......
And I wouldn't change any of it! This Novel is just beginning. Peace!

What a man won't do for his significant other. Today my only task was while the little woman was away in the cities. I was to drop off her work vehicle at the mechanic shop in town. Which I might add is approx. 1 1/2 miles away. No big deal, it would be a nice little stroll back home. So, when I awoke this morning it was raining off and on most of the morning. I waited for a break in the action, so my trusting canine companion & I could make the walk back home & stay dry. Once it stopped raining we bolted to the car & we were off. With in minutes we were at the shop, parking the car & started our walk home. It was a balmy +48 degrees at the time with slight wind gusts of about 10 to 15 miles per hour. I left the warmth & safety of my home wearing a plaid shirt (no jacket). Within minutes of parking at the shop and leaving the car, it started to sprinkle. We sped up our pace a tad bit. Soon it began to drizzle a tiny bit more.....does the word "Hypothermia" come to mind at this point. We had approx. 15 more minutes to walk back to the warmth of our home. It was raining now, hard. My faithful canine companion would periodically turn her head  & stare at me with the "I'm going to kill you" look in her eye's. We made it home, we were both dripping, shaking & wet. My faithful canine companion received a rawhide bone for her endeavors. I in return, got into warm jammies and my robe. Stay Tuned for the next adventure....Peace!
