It's Always Fun When Friends and Family Visit

The fun part of living in Florida is having my friends come and visit. One of the down falls is I usually use their camera's to take the pictures so now I have very few pictures on my camera, OR maybe they are some pictures on my other camera, if only I could keep things straight. My friends, Peggy and Tauna, teachers from my old school came to see me the end of January. I have never laughed so hard in the last 20 years. Ron finally had to say,"we will not eat until you girls control yourselves." We had a blast!!!
Then Jan and Katrina came to see us. They brought Holly with them and we had a totally magical time.(You had to be there to understand the "Magical" part). All I can say is Holly needs some Cinderella slippers!! It is so fun to have them come but SO hard to have them go back home.
When the grand kids came the fun started again. They loved the swimming in our pool the best. We would go somewhere "FUN" and all they wanted to do was go back to "Bamma's Pool". They swam in the pool at least three times a day!! Saying good bye to them was the worst thing ever. I must of kissed little Annaka's face a million times. Then the boys all started crying. Oh that was hard. I miss them. Thank heavens for web-cams.
Around the first of April Ron's work sent both of us to Las Vegas. Everyone around here thinks Las Vegas is "the place". I was only excited because I was going to meet up with Heidi while Ron was in meetings. She was in Las Vegas to move her things down to Texas. (Good Timing)

Heidi and I took a short trip to St. George to see my mom and sister, Beanie. We both had a good time visiting them. Last but not least. The ALLIGATOR! OK look real close. I know it is just a baby but where there is a baby there is a MOM!!! Most mornings I take the dog on a three mile walk around my neighborhood. About a month ago I looked over and there was this alligator sunning himself by a small pond. I bet I have walked by that thing a million times but never saw it, so that tells me that there is other "THINGS" lurking around that I haven't noticed before. Maybe a flying squirrel. No, really I have seen bigger alligators but you really have to look for them. This on is a little scary because it is pretty close to my house. I will be on the look out and let you know!



Just a note: My nephew Justin and his wife Rachel, my mom, Marla, Heidi and Dan and Ron's parents, Jay and Myrna have all visited us. I just haven't found those picture yet. Keep posted.
