St. Paddys & the River Green


St. Paddy's Day weekend was a Grandparent's delight! Our day started off with the "Shaggy Dog" movie at the Rialto Theatre in The Villages. Then we walked around the quaint streets of Spanish Springs. All the fountains were spouting green water in celebration of St. Paddy's day! We ended the day at Paulie's for a delicious slice of pizza. A beautiful day from start to finish. Click for a closer view of that green water!

Life is Delicioso!







Today, our dear friend Yolanda, traveled to New York with her TV star daughter Ingrid. Ingrid was featured on Martha Stewart. Ingrid, star of her own cooking show, Delicioso, taught Martha how to prepare a spectacular red snapper taco. We enjoyed the show so much. And the piece de resistance for us, was watching our friend Yolanda, seated in the front row, enjoy her daughter's cooking, on national TV!!! Click on the pics for a closer view...

The Quilt Shoppe


Giving up my three fish tanks in Port St. Lucie, gives me ALOT of time to try some new hobbies. My latest is learning the art of quilting. I've purchased a lovely new sewing machine, and am taking classes with Jan, the Quilting Queen. My very first lesson was today! It's lots of fun and challenging. The best part about quilting is having a cozy blanket to cuddle up to when all the work is done!

A Mary Kay Day of Beauty...



Our daughter Lisa had a Mary Kay "makeover" party last Sunday in Gainesville. She had friends from work and her mom attend!! We all got our makeovers, while David played catch with Danny and read the paper. I managed to get in some good "Grandma Time" with Danny myself, as we worked on his iTunes playlist and downloaded some new musical releases and a few music videos, too!

Dry Wall Never Looked So Good!!

After golf today, David and I checked on the progress of our new home. Happily, the dry wall was being installed. We "bumped" into our building superintendent Steph, and had a long talk and walk-through. After reviewing a few electrical issues, we were promised a sixty day completion. Next on the agenda, is our flooring and then cabinetry. With any luck, I'm guessing mid-May for a realistic move-in date.
