When life gives you BOGO watermelon at @publix , y When life gives you BOGO watermelon at @publix , you make cocktails. 🍉🍹🌴

Introducing The Pink Palm, because apparently I can’t resist a good deal OR an excuse to pop the Prosecco. 🥂 (did I mention the Mionetto Prosecco had a $1 off coupon?)

A little taste of Florida sunshine in a glass!

The Pink Palm 🍉🌴

2 oz fresh watermelon juice
1 oz vodka
½ oz triple sec
½ oz key lime juice
3 fresh basil leaves
2–3 oz chilled Prosecco

Gently muddle basil with watermelon juice. Add vodka, triple sec, and lime. Shake with ice, strain into a wine glass with fresh ice, and top with Prosecco. Garnish with basil.

Cheers to Publix for the BOGO inspiration! Sometimes the best happy hours start in the produce department. 🥂

Yesterday we moseyed around EPCOT while the car wa Yesterday we moseyed around EPCOT while the car was being serviced. I mean, why sit at a service center when you can pop over to a Disney Park!
The Mimosa flight was a must. Hello! It’s me 🤷🏼‍♀️

We walked around and noshed here and there, sampling a few things. The rain tried to dampen the day, but we checked out some of the not busy areas around EPCOT: Awesome Planet and the Disney & PIXAR Short Film Festival followed by Living with the Land and seeing where some of the ingredients are grown for a few of the festival offerings. 

On our way out, we made a final stop for the Wine & Cheese pairing at Communicore Hall. Caymus Cab and Wisconsin cheese? Yes, please!

Have you been to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? What’s your favorite dish? And if you are a beer drinker, I have to admit there seemed to be more beer than wine offerings this year.

Thirty-two years ago today, I was 21 years old and Thirty-two years ago today, I was 21 years old and walked into the fire department to begin a job I could never have imagined would shape so much of my life.

I had recently left music school and trying to decide what to do with my life. I was getting married in two months after this photo was taken. I wasn’t a mother yet. I had no idea where life would take me, what I would survive, who I would love, who I would lose, or how many different versions of myself I would become.

I look at this young woman now and want to tell her so many things.

I’d tell her that life isn’t going to look anything like the picture she has in her head.

I’d tell her some of the people she thinks will always be there won’t be. Others she hasn’t even met yet will become part of the fabric of her life.

I’d tell her she will become a mother. A grandmother. A wife more than once. A writer. A traveler. A woman who will start over more times than she can imagine.

I’d tell her that the fire department she walked into that day thinking it was simply a job would become part of her identity and would teach her difficult life lessons. That she would spend years answering calls on people’s worst days, live through disasters she couldn’t yet comprehend, and discover that she was capable of far more than she knew.

And I’d probably tell her not to spend quite so much time worrying about whether she was doing life “right.”

Because there isn’t one right way.

This photograph has its own scars. It was pulled from the floodwaters after the 2016 flood in Baton Rouge. Somehow, it survived.

So did she.

Thirty-two years later, I don’t wish I could go back and change everything for her.

I think I’d just sit beside her for a minute and say:

Hold on, sweetheart.

You have absolutely no idea where this life is going to take you.

And what a life it is going to be.
