I am the first to admit that I am not a morning person....... no sir........ not me! My husband is the opposite..... but he has learned over the years that he can just roll out of bed quietly.. not pull the covers... and definitely don't turn on a light.......... and everything will be okay! LOL I am a rather cheerful, outgoing person with a love of life and believe in living life to its fullest....... just as long as that "excitement" starts after I wake up at my own pace..... ;) My love is coffee and breakfast! OMG, there is nothing better than eating breakfast out! I just hate when they stop serving breakfast at 10:00 a.m! I live in a community with limited breakfast resources that cater to mostly retirees...... they start serving at 6:00 a.m. and stop at 10:00. UGH... WHY??? I am especially fond of a great breakfast place that will serve a GREAT bloody mary.. with bacon in it! I LOVE BACON!! I enjoy ...
With the hustle bustle of the work week...... the never ending connection to cyberspace...... social media and more sometimes I forget to stop and enjoy the beautiful place I live. It is winter in Florida... while for some of you that means lots of the white stuff and frigid temperatures in your home states...... my home state enjoys humidity free days and highs on 79 degrees. This is heaven! My eyes were hurting, my neck was getting stiff..... I had been working on the computer most of the day........I needed a break. The sun and the wind was calling. It was a top down kind of moment. Nothing like fresh air and the wind in my hair to bring me back to life! Don't forget to enjoy what you work for! Get off your phone, out of your house and enjoy life.... give yourself the break you deserve.
I decided it was time to write about one of my passions... BACON! Apparently a lot of other people share the same passion! I mean you really can't go wrong with bacon! Have you heard the term "Bring Home the Bacon"? Well, it was not a phrase coined by the commercials in the 80's with the sassy blonde dancing around the house... it actually originated during the 12th century from a church in Dunow, England. The church offered a side of bacon to any man who could swear before God and the congregations that he had not fought or quarreled with his wife for a year and a day. Any man that could "Bring Home the Bacon" was respected in his community. In the 1770's a man by the name of Jon Wiltshire was the first man to produce bacon on a large scale. He named the company Wiltshire and to this day is still considered the bacon capital of the world. In 1924 Oscar Meyer introduced prepackaged bacon to the United States... and the obsession...
