Lunch at Coffee Matters

What a beautiful sunny Sunday!!  

12 degrees Celsius and sunshine gets me on the move.  

After a little laundry and the normal routine stuff, hubby and I headed in to

the city to take a walk on the waterfront.  

I also wanted to take some harbor photos for a blog post.  

As we were driving toward the downtown area, we laughed when we caught sight of 

the thick blanket of fog hovering over the harbor area.  

We found a spot to park and hopped out.  There was a very noticeable difference in the temperature between downtown as it compared to our yard in Flatrock.  

We strolled for awhile along the old streets in the downtown area.  

By now it was well past lunchtime, 

so we decided to walk up to Coffee Matters on Military Road. 

I just love this place.  I have never been disappointed there.  

The food, service and the atmosphere is just so awesome. 

If you ever get a chance to stop by and check it out, do so--you will be very happy that you did.

We shared a lunch combo, which consisted of a Ham and Pear Chutney Croissant with a bowl of 

squash and bacon soup..........

and a delicious oatmeal raisin cookie.......

 Of course, we had coffee too---Yummmmmm!

 We did get a little walk, and we enjoyed a scrumptious lunch.

Hope you all had a great Sunday, and I wish you all a good week!

Cheers

....Or Maybe not!!!!

Sunshine and warm temps for the weekend, tough!!

Cheers

Spring is in the air........maybe

The fact that we had record-breaking temperatures on Mother's Day, and this.........
 

  gives me hope that spring is here.....

Cheers

With the North Atlantic Ocean lapping at our feet.....

We get to see a little fog pretty often.  I find it quite beautiful, as it rolls in.....

  

 

 I find it amazing that it can be so bright and sunny in one area, and just a kilometer 

or so away, the fog just seems to hover like an umbrella over another area.

It can roll in, and roll back out in minutes. 

It is so pretty when you are at a higher elevation and can see the landscape below 

and above the patch of fog.

Until today, as I was preparing this post, I did not know that an area of Newfoundland ranked

 #1 on the list of "Five Foggiest Places in North America"!  

That's right, click here to find out exactly what part of Newfoundland captured the title.  

Amazing stuff, that magical, mystical fog.

Cheers

It's April 27.....and another 15 cm of snow!!

After last Wednesday's record-breaking 49 cm of snow, most people are more 

than ready for winter to be over.   

But, alas!!! 

Look what we woke up to this morning.....

Another 15 cm of snow. 

Hubby had to blow out the driveway so I could drive to work.  

The conditions were so bad, practically everything in the city had a delayed opening.  

Even Metro Bus was pulled off the roads until 10 am! 

By the time I left for work, the skies were getting blue and it was almost 3 degrees Celsius.  

Barbecue, anyone??

Oh well, as they say here in Newfoundland....

"if you don't like the weather, wait a couple of hours" 

Temperature went up to 8 degrees.  

No wonder all the snow melted!!

I snapped this shot of the driveway when I got home from work around 5 pm........ 

Cheers
