| Rachel slid right under my chair trying to pull me out of the sun! TOO funny! |
Last weekend, Rachel and Megan flew into town…Madeira Beach, FL…to visit me. It was so wonderful hanging out with them for almost 5 days. With them here to spot me and help in other ways, I was able to go to the beach and GET WET…woohoo!!! We had a blast doing everything we did. Our experiences are best exemplified in pictures. So, here goes…

| What can be said here except scrumptious! |
 |
| The girls were visited by an uninvited guest! |
 |
| There’s a storm comin’ |
 |
| After the screaming and running was done, so was the guest! |
 |
| Bright Spot- This is Zyee, phenomenal server at Texas Roadhouse and very proud daddy of an almost 3 year old daughter, Kaydence. When I asked Kyee what was wonderful about her, he responded with, “What’s NOT wonderful? That girl is going to run the world one day.” Kyee, thank you for sharing about your little girl…but where is her picture you were going to send to me…sad face on me! |
 |
| OKAY, you caught me working at the beach! |
 |
| Bright Spot– A friend of mine recently created this incredible portrait of the man who opened this great pizza place in Delta, PA years ago and gifted it to the man’s son, who now runs the restaurant, in memory of his father. This labor of love and respect was hung in the front window for all to admire and be welcomed by when the restaurant reopened the first week of June after a terrible fire last year. |

| Rachel’s new little friends playing catch me if you can. She met them one morning when we walked to a park to watch the sunrise. |
 |
| Our sunrise morning |
 |
| See all the birds? This man feeds them in the morning just after the sun comes up. They gather on his lawn and roof waiting….as soon as they eat, they’re outta there! So cool |
 |
| Our sunrise morning…clouds across the street on the west side…gorgeous! |
 |
| Our sunrise morning…pre dawn |
 |
| OMG! This was so much fun. In far enough to catch a teeny tine wave and get splashed, but not so far that I’d float away! Thank you Rachel and Megan for helping me get to the water and get into and out of the floaty! I had a blast!!! ***Thank you, Marie, for being kind enough to let me have this much needed company and allowing them to stay at the house…I’m very grateful*** |
