I'm still here!

Hello, friends!  It has been too long. Thank you so much for your emails and for keeping in touch. All is well. I just found myself very, very busy with home and work this past month.  Each of you have taught me over the years that blogging friends understand sometimes you need to take a break, so that is exactly what I did.

Where to start?! How was your Mother's Day? Mine was great. My friend Jodi surprised us with this little treat. That is homemade sangria in that adorable mason jar that she decorated.  We had both of our moms over on Sunday for a cookout. Yes, I shared the sangria! 

I spent my birthday in April with this bunch. I love these guys. My husband planned a great night for us at The Historic Edgewater Hotel in Winter Garden, Florida. The area is starting to fill up with cute little antique shops and restaurants. The hotel is now a bed and breakfast and is the home to three great restaurants. We enjoyed The Tasting Room.  So good!  I highly recommend.

 

Here's a fun shot of the girls checking out the original front desk. I loved the old "hotel" sign, the postal cubbies, old phone and the original elevator.  There is even a little ice cream store in the lobby if you are visiting with the kids (and a bar two doors down with karaoke on Saturday nights if you don't have the kids...but that is another story...lol). I want to go back during the day and explore the shops. Anyone else been there before?

I'll share some fun rooster inspired gifts in my next post.  Hope to be around to visit each of you this week too.  Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments and follows.
