Yay, got my scanner working. Here are the kids when they were lots younger. Don't you just love the red glasses and the airplane sweater?

Michelle, your hollyhocks are gorgeous!!! You have a beautiful home and such a green thumb!

 

[Catmom]

Thanks Monnie! I love my hollyhocks but they are a pain to control.

Hey Steph, just for you......some more garden shots.........

Oh my gosh, you have the prettiest flower beds!!! I am jealous!!! LOVE THEM!!! I agree w/Monnie you totally have a green thumb.

More pics please, of Florida or whatever, you take lovely photos! That pic of the kiddos is toooooo CUTE!!! Beautiful family!

 

[Catmom]

Thanks Steph!! I do like to take pictures. Here''s some of my favorite Florida beach, Melbourne Beach. It''s just south of Cocoa Beach. We are looking to buy a house in the Ft. Myers area but we always go to the other side of FL to Melbourne Beach. It''s such a gorgeous beach that few people seem to know about. It''s great for getting away for a little while. It doesn''t have a lot of night life so that''s another reason it''s not swamped with people. The hotel does a jazz night every Wednesday which always has a huge turnout. They have live jazz bands. The week after we were down there last they were having Dave Brubeck.

We always get the same suite which is right on the ocean. Here''s a pic from the balcony.

Oh wow, what a view!!! I bet it is so relaxing to be there; I love when I go somewhere and there are no crowds and just the sound of the ocean waves crashing. Love your pictures. Oh what a treat to see Dave Brubeck; we have a few of his cd''s.

Oh Michelle I LOVE your house

I would love to sit on your porch with you and have coffee and just chit chat. There is just something about sitting there and gazing at all of those beautiful flowers.

Your family is beautiful, such a beautiful picture of them.

What fun you all will have if you purchase a house in Florida. My best friend lives in Fla. They moved there from here in CA. She said they will never move back here. What a view you will have of that beach. I would gaze at that ocean forever.

 

[Catmom]

Thanks Skip!

Linda, I would love to have you come over and sit with me. We would have a grand time. Our thought is that the FL house will be a vacation/winter home for about the next 5 years until my hubby retires. Then we may move down there permanently. We are both so tired of the Chicago winters.

 

[Skippy123]

A vacation home in Florida sounds fabulous!!! I have never been to Florida so thanks for posting pics; I hope to someday go!!
I don't blame you from wanting to get away from lots of snow. hehe I hope you find a wonderful place to get away too!
Any jewelry projects? hehe

 

[Catmom]

Well...hee...hee...there might be something blue in the works!

I want details lady. It is gorgeous.

 

[Catmom]

Thanks Skip and Linda! Yes I started a thread in SMTR.

 

[FrekeChild]

I love that bracelet Catmom. Do you need a babysitter?

 

[Catmom]

Ha freke, I was just thinking I ought to rent it out for a "something blue". Then maybe I could afford some matching earrings.

 

[Linda W]

Tee Hee Michelle, I bet those will be on your list next. I bet the earrings are to die for. I keep checking back and ooogling your beautiful bracelet. It is sooooo darn gorgeous.

BTW, how are you feeling?? I think of you all the time.

 

[Catmom]

Aww thanks Linda!! I think it''s going to be a long time before I get anything else. I''m feeling ok, thanks for asking. I only get occasional funky beats now. The "big" test is coming up on the 15th so please keep your fingers crossed that the hole has closed up. I don''t even want to think about if it hasn''t.
