<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, look how long it's been since I've been here! <br />
Do any of you even remember me?<br />
<br />
I thought I'd drop in to see if Miss Bee's Haven was even here after this long and it is! <br />
So now, what to say....<br />
<br />
Well, I've spent most of my computer time on Facebook. I have my personal family page there and a page also called Miss Bee's Haven where I share found photos of beautiful home décor and far away places and another page ~ Miss Bee's Recipe where you can find some yummy eats. <br />
So, if you happen to be a Facebooker, come on by and join me! <br />

But, then, I really didn't know at that time I would be gone so long. <br /><br />Time seems to have passed so quickly this summer. I've been away some. Barbados was our big trip so far this year. However, an upcoming trip to Canada is now the most exciting thing to happen. <br /><br />Five blogging gals are going to Canada to visit <a href="http://claudiesworld.blogspot.com/ <br />">Claudie</a> at her sweet riverside cottage and cabana in Plantagenet, Ontario. We'll also spend a couple days in Montreal! Together, we are known as the "Summer Breeze Girls".<br /><br /><a href="http://backyardneighbor.typepad.com/">Jeanne</a> and <a href="http://juliology.blogspot.com/">Julie</a> will be there. I've spent time with both and can't wait to see them again.<br /><br /> I'm looking forward to meeting lovely ladies <a href="http://catherinesteacups.blogspot.com/">CC</a> and <a href="http://www.wendy-ericgunderson.blogspot.com/">Wendy</a>. <br /><br />Claudie has planned so much for us to enjoy while there. We're going to kick up our heels and let down our hair and just have a memorable time. I'm sure I'll be back in August to tell you all about it! <br /><br />You can visit <a href="http://claudiesworld.blogspot.com/ <br />">Claudie's</a> blog now to see some of what she's doing to welcome us!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/308/DD9B536D65FD3689DD92BEBB9508211A.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Deborah aka Miss Beehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11333710343286697009noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865216006444630859.post-91563230927422685742011-03-23T12:09:00.006-04:002011-03-23T12:30:51.641-04:00~Sweetness & Elegance~<center>You'll find them both at Suzanna's in Raleigh.<br /><br />Go to Suzanna's.

For us, it's come earlier than usual this year. <br />I love the snow. I love staying in my home, cozied up by the fireplace with a good book or a stack of magazines and cookbooks...a cup of tea or hot chocolate in hand while the beautiful flakes fall. <br /><br />A couple of years ago I got 'hooked' on creating my own snowflakes. <br /> There is a place online were one can do that <a href="http://snowflakes.barkleyus.com/"><strong>HERE</strong></A>.<br /> It's pretty additive, but creative and fun. <br />These are some that I created.</center><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6MAbYb4SbXV_f-s08jdhvFtYoQdY7BLcTzyUH8eCynRktUvBVU_YOg75tlC-188f9FaqShSuY5Y7sBKYqtVl77uaAtWIXMXQd-kg3r0yoIA98FXmQkkgknQJiXiLJe1OlDLEzZieLeE/s1600/flake15.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I count her as my friend, because she's a delightfully funny lady with a warm heart who cares for people and fur-babies alike.<br /><br />Please take a minute out of each day through December 10 to vote for her. Among other wonderful prizes, she could win $1000 to help with animal rescues in Ottawa, Canada.<br /><br />We're trying to get her in the top five, at least. I have ninety-nine followers. If each of my followers would vote, Claudette, myself and the fur babies of Ottawa would sooo appreciate your help.<br /><br />Won't you PLEASE take a minute out of the next few days to vote for her <a href="http://contest.fdj.ca/view-vote.php?popid=88&sms_ss=facebook&at_xt=4cf32ec4a89f821e%2C0"><strong>HERE</strong></A>:</center><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUE9FeUTFlv6PX9XyCG27q6TF88_wJKHIGtNUWXoNRbuqX_j3U7SSHs5Tmk3erltTyzY7sS1szO1y93YqKI971kJPch9vWR4m40vQNuTs0qJ0CZ3Y6jJUHzRE-kDb7pmsbArsxyu70Gk/s1600/claudie+dog.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 335px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUE9FeUTFlv6PX9XyCG27q6TF88_wJKHIGtNUWXoNRbuqX_j3U7SSHs5Tmk3erltTyzY7sS1szO1y93YqKI971kJPch9vWR4m40vQNuTs0qJ0CZ3Y6jJUHzRE-kDb7pmsbArsxyu70Gk/s400/claudie+dog.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545430399188107746" /></a><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/354/49399E7913E80CC336031B1DFA4A491C.png" /></a><br /><a href="http://s302.photobucket.com/albums/nn91/Deborah5313/?action=view&current=BANNERmamieraebannercopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn91/Deborah5313/BANNERmamieraebannercopy.jpg" border="0" /></a></center><br /><br /><center>Linking to:<br /><a href="http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/2010/11/white-wednesday-76.html"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>White Wednesday</strong></span></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxkJ9rRLyP4WI5JVdHvkuBsbzB8KdqTugwfRFE03Q7hIMntrM9IBh8s__oNMnk9LfKHeaQdTRgoGsRdR_QUujOKbWSuaSWTzPzoqRxy6WOp7f1OBvydUZDVlkBZdCWTFut4sidxTL5WGE/s1600/White-Wedneday-Button.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxkJ9rRLyP4WI5JVdHvkuBsbzB8KdqTugwfRFE03Q7hIMntrM9IBh8s__oNMnk9LfKHeaQdTRgoGsRdR_QUujOKbWSuaSWTzPzoqRxy6WOp7f1OBvydUZDVlkBZdCWTFut4sidxTL5WGE/s400/White-Wedneday-Button.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542956190704076482" /></a><br /></center>Deborah aka Miss Beehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11333710343286697009noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865216006444630859.post-88713710549331829102010-11-20T16:16:00.040-05:002010-11-25T17:54:59.404-05:00Tea Time!<center><br />Headed south? Florida bound? Have you been to Mount Dora, Florida? I would like to recommend Mount Dora as a delightful destination. </center><br /><center>A small town, but full of charm and history, Mount Dora sits lakeside and rises to an elevation of around 180 feet...a virtual 'mountain' in Florida.<br /><br />I discovered Mount Dora on a recent trip to visit my cousin in Orlando. She took me on a forty-five minute trip to this lovely village. </center><br /><center>Only four days later, while on business with my husand in Daytona Beach, I revisited Mount Dora with two friends while our husbands were attending their meetings.<br /><br />I love this little town. My favorite time there was spent in<br /> The Garden Gate Tea Room. <br />Take a look at these images of The Garden Gate Tea Room ... you'll want to go!<br /><br /></center><br /><center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpS8XblBq0cAtdM6B04ICwdUnF6CDR39SCmu_WfWhahGIyTIBb7g6iud0oofiZ_b_xHGgO6K-WOCIOPsgowWeIvHM8ezwH_BRxKSzjMivaCLQTpkefW6TjFLcVe_7ZBMXYgr_-422qgLw/s1600/Tearoom2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541745283608646290" style="DISPLAY: block;

Some of the luscious honey ran from the honeycomb onto a tray. You can see the knife on the lower side of this photo - it kind of blends in with the tray.

Since then, it's been a busy few weeks. Amelia, who is an urban farmgirl, invited me back to see how they tend to their hives. Now, if you know me, you must know how excited I was to be part of checking the hives. </div><br /><br /><p>Amelia advised me to wear long pants and socks with my shoes. When I arrived at her little farm, I was suited up in beekeeper's gear. Her husband, Scott, also suited up and away we went. I was not afraid at all. Amelia had told me during my first visit that many of their worker bees had most likely been to our home to gather pollen and nectar, so I felt like I was meeting up with old friends. Bees travel within a five mile radius to gather and then return to their hives. Our home is well within that radius.<br /><br />Worker bees not only gather, but also clean the hive and keep it cool by beating their wings. By the way, the 'buzz' of a honeybee is just it's wings beating so rapidly.<br /><br />Uddermost Farmgirl and my hubby stayed a safe distance away while (we) went to work. Scott pryed the hives apart, beaking the propolis seal that had been placed by the bees.
