Florida, Day Three

Got up early today — 9:20 a.m.  Laughing  Things watched kid shows all morning (the joys of expanded cable).  Hubby left to play 18 holes.  Grandma & Grandpa came home early b/c Grandpa’s ear infection was making him too dizzy to stand up.  Grandma, Things & I spent time in the pool.  I gave up earliest.  Later, when Hubby came home, he joined them.  The Things spent so much time out there, they had to get two layers of sunscreen.  Eventually, made Thing One put on a t-shirt over her bathing suit b/c her shoulders were just too bad off. 

Filet mignon, baked taters w/trimmings, salad, veggies, and Grandma’s famous sugar-free jello mixed with whipped cream for dessert.  I asked her about the sugar-free pudding yesterday that tasted too good to be true, and it was.  She took the sugar-free, fat-free pudding and made it with whipping cream instead of non-fat milk.  Yikes!  Why, you say?  One word:  Atkins.  Yupp.  Apparently — and this makes NO sense to me at all — whipping cream has no carbs, but non-fat milk does.  Makes NO sense.  Why would taking AWAY fat and cream ADD carbs?  I don’t get it (sorry, Mrs. R; I know those words are forbidden in the classroom).  Where DO we agree?  (Insert 1940’s or 1950’s music) Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola (hat-tip to Knitting Magic Girl for the info that it’s only 2 Points).

Today’s pictures here Tomorrow…maybe the beach.  Maybe not.  Thanks to Andy, Hubby and I have a hot tip on a fabulous sushi place not far away that we need to check out this weekend.  (Aside to Andy:  Hubby and I may visit your “alma mater” on Sunday.  Whaddayathink?   You vote yes or no?)
