Home Sweet Home

We had a wonderful time soaking up the sun and the sounds and smell of the Gulf of Mexico. We arrived home late yesterday afternoon, happy to be here, but missing the warmth. It wasn't as cold as we expected it to be, so that was a good thing. As an added bonus, our son picked us up from the airport and also had dinner waiting for us at home. This is one last photo I wanted to share before I get back to sharing my projects with you. My daughter, husband and granddaughter were walking the beach when they came upon this huge starfish. Sydney was very excited about their "find" so a quick photo was taken before the starfish was returned to the Gulf of Mexico. I am going to spend the day catching up on the usual--laundry, grocery shopping, etc. And in between~~I will find some stampin' time.

What A Day!

We woke up yesterday to pouring rain, wind and cool weather. So we went shopping! Of course Joann's was where I spent my time. I was able to touch and feel scrap paper--I needed that! It is pretty bad when you are on vacation and you need to go touch and feel paper--LOL!!! My husband went to the Bass Pro Shop. We both got our fixes. Our friends did not have such a good day. There are four couples here, three of which have condos in the same complex. My husband went out for the newspapers and when he came back he mentioned that two of the couples were out bright and early as their cars were not in the parking lot. A while later I called the the two condos of our friends to see what everyone was planning for the day. (We all do what we want during the day, but we meet in the parking lot at 5:00 for dinner.) When I spoke to Lisa, I asked her where her car was so early in the morning. Her response, "It better be in the parking lot!" Her husband was out for his morning walk. A short time later, a few of us met down in the parking lot. Tom is returning from his walk and we ask, "Where's your car, Tom?" He points to where it was parked the night before and he makes a mad dash for his condo. At this point he is thinking that Lisa had the car. NOT! Their car was stolen! It was a new Ford Escape with less than 5,000 miles. After police reports, etc. the car was found--rolled in a water-filled ditch with the thief surround by air bags. He is in the hospital and the car is totalled. Here's to a better day today.

Sunset on Saturday

We are all having a great time. There are four couples here, all staying at the same condo building. This isn't the greatest photo (I am using my little netbook and I have no photo editing software) but the sunset was gorgeous last night. I took this photo thru the screen on the balcony and wanted to share it. Wish you were here!

Just Another Day In Paradise

The view from our condo is perfect--palm trees & the Gulf of Mexico. Of course the screen on the lanai kind of messes up the photo, but you get the idea. This morning we had to take our daughter & granddaughter to the aiport and it was so quiet when we returned to the condo. We went for an early morning walk on the beach and the dolphins were on a feeding frenzy! The high tide was going out so there were all kinds of creatures on the sand--including this beautiful sand dollar. I need some breakfast. Have a great day.
