Well, my Mom and I got back from Florida on Wednesday, and I had a Pampered Chef event on Thursday, so I am just getting back to my blog.
Florida was awesome! We enjoyed a steady temp of 90 degrees, and enjoyed going to the pool, a one day cruise, visiting a nature center (Gumbo Limbo) every one should go there!, and of course a trip to one of the million malls down there.
For those of you wondering, I did go to the beach three times. The first time I went to a pavillion smelled the fresh air and left in about 15minutes. The second time I went to the Deerfield Beach pier, walked out to the end gazed at the moon, and took a stroll on the sandy beach with the waves licking my toes all this under a full moon. And the third trip to the beach, I spend maybe 7 minutes there snapping a few pictures to prove I went to the beach, if you can gather by now, I really don't like the beach, the salty water - yick, feeling dirty from the sand - double ick, nope I rather just admire from affar the beauty of the ocean and then go jump in a pool or lake.
I did work on a bit of the Family History book that I want to complete. I recorded stories from my Grandparents that start with them as children up through there honeymoon, (this was about 4 hours of taping) I also had a chance to go through old family photo albumns, listen to my Grandfather read from his journal that starts in 1940, and gather traditional family recipes. Once this gets on paper I will go back for more. It is amazing how much you can learn from your Grandparents. As I get each short story done, I am hoping to post them on the blog. I am also hoping that when a certian friend of mine gets back from her vacation, I can learn how to download the pictures that I took.
Well keep reading there is more to come!
