A Break from the Cold

I hit the wall with the weather about two weeks ago.  That's when I started looking for a way out.  Low vitamin D levels & gray skies contributed to an ongoing cranky fest that wouldn't stop.  My husband said to get the hell out of Dodge, go to Florida, visit friends & soak up the son. 

I leave tomorrow.  Neither my sons nor my husband are going but I will see one of my sons in the Keys were he's working temporarily.  

Some photos from past trips.

My awesome family

Singing For Your Breakfast...

This is one of my best friends. She lives in the Keys and works for the best breakfast places down there, Harriette's. She is as cheerful as she looks and sounds; always has a smile for everyone, never a cross word. When my husband and I visit, we stay at her place and it's always a treat. She has the biggest heart in the world; she spent 12 years working with severely physically and mentally handicapped children in Dolphin Human Therapy. It was a very successful procedure until the man who owned the business lost his lease and shut it down. She and her co-worker tried to buy the business but couldn't get the funding. So, back to waitressing she went.

This is a cute little ad she did for the restaurant owner. If you're down there, stop in, make sure she's your waitress and order a big meal. Tell her "California Girl in New Hampshire sent me". She's a California girl too!
