To My New England Friends..

Doesn't this remind you of the Old Man in the Mountain?  Of course, it's a coral cliff in Isla Mujeres!

Jammin'

 Made red raspberry jam ( and 2 jars of dilly beans) this morning and I got to use thees great new tools I got as a present.  The ladle hooks onto the pan & one ladle full fills a canning jar! 
The canning funnel fits over the jar & has measurements so you get the head space right.

Put them to good use!

Reflections

Spotted these swans when we were at the LRWC last weekend & the timing was great!  As they glided into the water the reflections were amazing, so I snapped a few photos!

Thirst Quenchers

I would have loved one of these giant drinks on the day we went to Punta Sur in June!  Alas, all were fake so we had to settle for normal sized!
