Haven't Done this for a while....

Only 2 more days left here in Florida....

Today is wicked...

Very high winds...

Lots of waves...

Cloudy skies....

Tornado warnings...YIKES!!

A great day...

To reflect on things that I have missed...

And will be able to do when I get back home safely...

I have missed my tea parties and my cakes with berries and yogurt...  

Can you believe I have not had a cup of tea in over a month????

I hope to ready that today, as I am sure my sweet Friend Linda will make me a cup of tea after our lunch with her and her husband today....

I have the fabric all ready to make Vivian a Raggedy Anne doll for her birthday in July....

This one will be soft pinks and greens....and warm furry fabrics...

Who ever said Anne had to be red and white????

Not sure what colour her hair will be....fun to think about!!!

I wonder how all my african violets are doing....

Are the birds tapping on the window looking for me and my boyfriend???

Where's the food, Linda.....get crackin'....hahaha...  

I miss our weekly trips to the Lake....to check things out...grab some lunch  

Visit a few thrift shops.....

BUt MOST of all....that  sweet little face of our Vivian....

It just gets cuter every day....and the personality is really coming alive...

Don't get me wrong....

I LOVE our time here....but....as Dorothy says...

"Theres no place like home"....I truly believe that....:o)    

 

















And.....

I love all the time....

Spent....

Walking....

Gathering shells....

Splashing along in the waves...

With my Boyfriend....


Gosh....am i sappy today or what???

TIme to exit this post....before I get you all to pull out your hankies!!!


Enjoy your day....and for those of you snowed in...a cup of tea, cake with berries and yogurt will surely help....  


Lunch at our friends place....some Marshall's shopping...and something
out to eat.....


Enjoy your day.....

                    Cheers!  :o)

  1. No tea for a month!!!! I love my cups of tea.
    The storm is moving in overnight Tuesday ... perhaps it will decide to give out area a miss. I can dream, can't I?
    A raggedy Anne doll sounds wonderful ... colours should be what you want them to be.
    Enjoy the last couple of days.

  3. Oh sweet friend, how fun it has been to visit the beach on another coast, with you this past month!! But I too miss your posts from home, your home. Where that beautiful baby girl is....and your cottage on the lake, and your nature shots!!! It is always fun to go somewhere and play, but indeed, there is no place like home!!!!! Can't wait to see what's what when you get back!
    Such lovely china, and oh...that sweet Viv....I want to kiss those chubby cheeks!!!
    Hugs,
    Kris
    PS I think your hubby and mine could be brothers!!

  10. That sweet Vivian sure has some cute kissable cheeks! I bet you can't wait to see her. I hear it's snowing in southern Ontario. It will probably be gone by the time you get back. Enjoy the evening.
