My Trip To Florida

Posted on by

I had a wonderful stay with my parents from Wednesday May 30th through Saturday June 9th. Mom is improving daily and seems to be feeling better although she’s still taking stuff for pain. Her dark bruises were almost all gone by the time I got there but the aches have a way of letting her know who’s boss and she still has a knot on her forehead. She has two more doctor appointments this week and we hope for more good results.

I helped out in the store every day and was able to help move things around as she directed. I changed display areas several times, vacuumed and tried to keep up with the things that are hard for her to do. Her last day of business is this Saturday, June 16th and they are looking forward to the next chapter.

I didn’t work the whole time though as you will see in the pictures below. We went to Dave and Pam’s one evening for dinner and games and we met them for dinner out one evening. Dave and I also enjoyed a nice cup of coffee one morning and I really enjoyed my time with family.

We had a wonderful evening at Dave and Pam’s and I captured a few pictures of ‘some’ of their pets as they have 8 rabbits, 2 hedgehogs 3 genie pigs and 1 very sweet dog named Buddy.

I just adored Mr. Kato, a very small monkey from Brazil. This little monkey is 1 year old and full size. Kato drew a large crowd in Downtown Stuart right outside my parents shop and I could not help but capture this sweet picture.

Lunch with Linda is always in order in FL or TX. Linda and I (the gal I’m sitting next to) used to work together for 8 years and her daughter (sitting across from us) Donna and I became friends a long time ago. I called Linda mom all those years ago and still do to this day. She has a son who lives near Dallas so when she flies to my neck of the woods we try to get together too.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch with an old friend Becky. Becky and I have been friends since she was in college and I was in her wedding 15 years ago. She was not able to attend my wedding as her brother got married out of state on my wedding day. P.S. – This was the longest lunch hour I’ve ever taken as we spent close to 4 hours there!

I spent an evening at the beach and enjoyed a wonderful conversation with my hubby while taking in this gorgeous view. I got all situated under the covered pavillion and rested on a picnic table.

I love little quaint boutiques but this little boutique captured my attention. This picture is taken in the dressing room and must say it was one of the coolest little dressing room I’ve been in.
