"It's not going to be today" ~ Remember?

Remember this post?

There once was a little boy named Dan.

We called him Dan the man.

We called him Daniel Boone.

We called him Boonie.

We call him Danny.

My first born son, a real "Momma's Boy"!  This picture is from one of our many Mother/Son dances at Avon Oaks.  He felt really special that even though he had a little brother Tegan, I still reserved the dance just for him.  We did let Tegan join us finally, but the year this picture was taken, I can "remember" 

the reason for Danny's little smile in this picture.

"It was his special night!"

Love his little snake tie pin!

What is going on with my hair?

I am missing this kid today, and every day since he left for Colorado.

I know I didn't see him everyday or anything like that when he lived here but,

there is a comfort in knowing they are near by.

I know he is living his dream~

I know he is happy 

and that makes my heart happy too!

There's my Dan, upside down in green pants!

And here in red, with good friends from home, Sarah, hanging and Pete holding her with Danny.

Crazy Kids

All my little gems miss you too!

Merry Christmas Danny!

And to your little doggy Kayla too!

A box of gifts is on its way to you!

Be on the look out!

We all love and miss you!

Especially me...

One Really Big Show...

Sarah had a Really Big Show tonight!  Papa couldn't come because of a board meeting and we missed him!  Grandma Carol and Meme went with Sarah, Molly and their Mom and Dad!

Sarah was excited to be "featured" on one of the songs.  She and two others got to sing at the microphones!  She practiced and practiced her verse!

Before we left, I took some pictures in front of their tree!

These two are so precious to me!

And they are as silly as they seem!

Sarah helped Bailey pose for the picture!

Molly knew all the words to the songs too and was singing along in the audience!

She sat with  her Grandma Carol!

Sarah and her friends start off singing the WRONG verse but the music

teacher stops them and they start all over on the right note!!  Sarah is on the right! Hear me whisper at the end..."That's cute"!

Have a listen!

What a performer!!  After all~the show must go on!

But just look at the boy behind Sarah... Too funny!

He has caught their mistake!

Sarah and her friend Evan~ see them together in the second row, right behind the friend in black?

So cute!

I love this little wonder who made me a Meme!

Out with the Girls!

Things are moving along around here!!  The guys are still busy and let me do what I can to help... which isn't that much!  I do make lunches!

I have been power walking thru the neighborhood and it is fun to see it decorated for the Holidays!!

Roxi and Joyce invited me to the Turtle Club for lunch!

They had these beautiful orchids~ so pretty!

Joyce and I~  I love this little Boston lady!  Her favorite saying....

"Santa Rocco"

I think it means something bad!!

They introduced me to Eileen, on the left~

Roxi is so good to share all her friends here in Florida!

What's up with my sunglasses... like I am a princess or something!

Dave and Larry went to a place called Larry's last night to watch the Browns play.... I mean lose~ 

and I stayed behind to set the bedrooms up! 

 I ended up with a glass of wine and a good book in the hot tub!

Sarah, Molly, Cayden, Mya amd Layla... 

Meme, Papa and your Moms and Dads are

busy working on plans for our big 

EASTER VACATION 

at the Florida house...

Are you so excited?

Teamwork!

Larry is here!!

These two have been busy, busy!  After visiting the Marble Works, we choose tile for the guest shower and bathroom floor.  We choose a "pebble" look for the shower floor.  The guys got straight to work once we picked up the tile the next morning!

Larry laid the tile...

While Dave did all the cutting!

We laughed about choosing a "Feature" for the shower.  Dave wanted something different and Larry suggested a checker board pattern of honed and polished tiles.  Hard to see in this pic but it is just below the window.

Dave got the ceiling and walls painted after golf on Wednesday... We played in the scramble and enjoyed pasta night at the club then the guys got right back to work.  Larry finished the window and Dave painted!  The color is Coastal Fog.  

Here is a shot from the doorway... I will retake closer so you can see the shower floor once the tile is set and has been grouted!

The guys enjoy the hot tub, pool and a cocktail after a hard day at work!

It's good to have friends that enjoy helping with projects!

These two make a good team!

The carpet came today~

Here is one guest room.  The wall color is Silver Screen. 

Bedding from Dillards.

Still working on finishing touches!

The other guest room is painted in Serene Blue.

Bedding from Target.

Grandkids will love this room!

Can't believe it's Thursday already~ Time is flying by here in Florida!

Meme and Papa are looking forward to getting home and finishing some 

super top secret woodshop projects!!
