Summer In Florida

It has already been such a lllooonnnnggggg hot summer here in West Central Florida. We spent several weeks already in the high 90's to mid 100's and that was in late June and early July. I shudder to think what August and September will bring. It has also been unusual in that our daily round of thunderstorms have come in the morning and early afternoon, as opposed to late and early evening. This unusual pattern makes for much more humid afternoons.........sigh.

Well, here is to another day of early rain, humidity, and unbearable heat!

Have a great week-end!!

Monstah Lobstah!!!!

This is my kind of lobster!!! This picture was taken at Faniuel Hall in Boston, MA. This was my first visit to MA, and I had a great time. We arrived in time to tour the Tall Ships too. We were in MA for 7 days and my husband ate lobster for dinner for four of those days, but he is from MA, so I guess that is okay.

Aren't these little guys cute? I won't eat the real thing, so this will have to suffice!!

Vacation time!! We are off to Boston for a week of fun and frivolity!!! Boston is my husbands hometown, and I have never been there, so I am very excited to visit all of the historic sites and landmarks!! I hope to have many pictures to share upon our return!! See you soon!!!

Home away from Home

I love this place. This is a cabin located in Sevierville TN. We vacation here as often as possible, and we always try to stay in this same cabin. This is the most beautiful place in the world and where I spend time alone with my wonderful husband.

Carrie liked Gavin's Giraffe so much, she hinted that she might like one in her colors of robins egg blue and chocolate. So, being the wonderful friend that I am, I made this cute little creature. She now lives happily in Carrie's bedroom snuggled in with the pillows!!!
Gavin thinks this is his too!!!
