Shrimp three ways –
#1. Marinate shrimp in lemon, olive oil and Old Bay Seasoning, for a couple hours. Soak wood skewers in water. Thread the shrimp and cook on the grill…
Dinner night one was grilled shrimp and cooked carrots and fresh sliced tomatoes.
#2. Salad – Panzanella salad topped with shrimp. Bread and tomato salad with cucumbers and onions and dressed with oil and vinegar and topped with shrimp.
#3. Shrimp Taco for dinner – I took the cocktail sauce and mixed in some sour cream and salsa and fresh cilantro. I used fresh corn tortillas heated up in a fry pan and chopped up shrimp and dressed with the sour cream mixture…

Silence
Mother Teresa described silence and its relationship to God by saying ” God is the friend of silence. See how nature – Trees, grass, grow in silence, see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence….We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
This includes your soul!
Meatless Monday
My favorite place to buy tomatoes is David’s Produce.
It has been around a very long time. Tomatoes are always the BEST! But they also have fresh butter beans and Lady Peas. Butter Bean are just lima beans basically. Oh and fresh Black eyed peas. They are all so yummy.
They have fresh eggs and butter too. All kind of veggies, carrots, squash, cabbage, vidalia onions, (sweet onions from Vidalia GA). 
All kinds of hot sauces! They also have my favorite thing!
Boiled Peanuts! Regular and Cajun!
Good Deeds
Good deeds still exist. I went to the Home Depot to pick up some manure and soil for my garden. Good deed #1 – as I am picking up 50lb bags of manure, I had one in the cart, this man walks up and asks how many I am going to need, just one more, he picks it up and puts it in my cart.
Then, I get to my car, now I have 5 bags of soil, manure and compost. I put down paper in my back seat. I have a VWBeetle convertible. The top was down and I started loading the soil in my car. This young guy comes up and says “let me help you before I head home”. He helped my so much! Then he takes my cart and returns it to the cart corral. He didn’t expect anything from it, just being a super nice guy.
I hope this makes you feel better, it made me so happy!
Dog Grooming
Staycationers if you want to get your pet groomed, I suggest The Pet Set. I have taken Bradley Cooper here for two years and the best groomer is Sam, but I have two others and they have been great. 
I do have to admit, they could do better on his kerchief it’s a little jagged but his cut looks great!
What is it about a bath and grooming that wears our little dogs out?
The Secret…
The secret to living well and longer is:
eat half, walk double,
laugh triple and love without measure.

Meatless Monday
Stir Fried Veggies
Added the cabbage and sprouts and stir fry sauce, cornstarch, hot water and soy sauce.
I used sesame oil and chili oil for the starting oil, spicalicious!
OH and for lunch do you know that Mellow Mushroom has a great Mushroom soup beside their awesome pizzas!
SunTrust Park
SunTrust Park is the new home stadium of the Atlanta Braves.
The park is located up I-75 in Cobb County. Traffic was thought to be the problem, but it was Easter Sunday and it was no problem.
There are restaurants and The Roxy with events held there, right across the street.
Then I saw the Home Depot tools, so I had to get into the picture.
Now, going into the stadium itself. There are a lot of things happening. It is beautiful! To the right was the kids area, they had a zip line for kids in the and tons of interactive games. 
Then we turned left to head to our seats..and look who we saw…
Life sized Dale Murphy Bobblehead Doll. Then we head into the Hall of Fame, this was so special. It was awe inspiring.
The space devoted to Hank Aaron is informative and so well done. He is a true hero and a great man.
They also have the World Series Trophy.
Then, we were making our way to our seats in the Infinity Club and look who was outside greeting us.
Chipper Jones Life Sized Bobble head doll.
We made it to our seats…
Boyscouts filed onto the field and one Boyscout recited the Pledge of Allegiance. His name was Sanjay and he was a good friend of my niece, who was surprised.
and this little girl sang the national anthem, she belted it out. 
Here are my nieces (who I love to pieces!)
This is where their parents were sitting!
There truly are no bad seats here and it was a beautiful day!
I will review the food soon!
