Oceans & Socks

Heavens! I'm way behind. We took a day off and went to St. Pete Beach to spend a day wading in the ocean. Wonderful! We started out going for breakfast, decided to go for a drive and ended up on the Gulf coast. So, we parked the car and strolled along the beach. Got back to the villa in time to stop for supper and then crash for the evening. And the next morning I got this delightful shot of Squeegie & Taffy watching Poppa do up the breakfast dishes. They always want to help and Poppa is very patient with them. Usually Squeegie helps, but this one time he agreed that Taffy could sit there with him.

I finished the socks for Mama and they are ready to go into the mail. I realized after I stuck the package shut, that I had neglected to take a picture of the finished object. So.....I'm hoping that Mama will try them on and take a picture for us, so everyone can see them.

Granny and Gramps are coming down in a couple of weeks to join us in our quest for sunshine! They are in Bermuda right now visiting Scott and Ian. When they get home from Bermuda they are going to re-pack and head for Florida! Granny was supposed to buy some sock yarn - so she could have a pair of socks too, but she didn't get around to it.......sooooooo...I might have to pick a colour for her! Anyway, we are looking forward to seeing them, and Poppa is looking forward to having Gramps for a golfing partner!

Our little Munchkin is growing so fast! Here he is, with his little friend Ella, they were playing around while Mama had her breakfast. Apparently Jimmie the Dog was tired and wanted to sleep, so Mama asked Ella if she would play for a while. The next day, Mama caught him posing in an outfit that Nanna & Poppa got him for Christmas. At that time, it was too large for him.........as you can see now, it fits perfectly! He even stretched out to display the little lions on the feet and he took the little pink fists out of his mouth for this shot! I was talking to him on the phone today and he was chattering away so fast I couldn't get a word in edgewise.
