Vacation - Day 4

About halfway through our vacation and winding down our visit with my Cousin Cathy, her husband Bill, and daughter Lindsay. And of course, Max, the dog. The weather has been great and my mom and I have definitely been enjoying it. The first day we spent most of the time outside enjoying the playground and local dog park where we met Sebastian - a loveable Bassett Hound.



Yesterday we went to Mixon's Fruit Farms for some fresh oranges, the Village of the Arts, and of course the beach. We even managed to pick up some old clothes and material to make Lindsay an outfit for her "Harriet Tubman" day at school. (She needs to dress up like a slave.) Oh, and I got some great material that I'm going to attempt to use to make pillows. We'll see how that goes, but for now I have grand visions.





Today we were off to church, brunch and plenty of Sunday relaxation. Tomorrow morning we're heading down to Ft. Myers to visit John and Jackie. Oh - and how could I forget - Mom's introduction to the Wii.

38 Hours and Counting...

Life has been crazy busy lately. Not in a bad way, but in a perfectly ok, just really busy way. Guess I've been trying to do all the things I never have time to do when the weather is nice so I figure I'll do them in the winter things. You know what I mean. Plus, right around the holiday I discovered that a very good friend of mine is pregnant, so I've been madly working on a gift for her. Course she's not due till this summer, but I figure I need the time! I'd provide more details, but with my luck she'd stumble upon this post and my secret would be blown. Murphy's Law.

Toss in work, plenty of football parties to cheer the Giants to the Super Bowl win, and all of the other little things that seem to take forever and here we are already to the middle of February!

But, in 38 hours I will be boarding a plane with my Mom to go to Florida for a week. Off to visit my cousin and her family as well as my brother and his. We haven't seen any of them in almost 3 years, since Dad's funeral, so this will be good. I'm hoping to take lots of pictures, so keep a finger or two crossed that I'll get something up here! In the meantime, here's the last picture I have of me and my little cousin Lindsay.
