Early Spring

 

 

 

 

 

The skies were bright blue, the sun was bright and it was a beautiful early spring day; perfect for a late afternoon walk. Walking in the spring, when the grass suddenly turns green and the trees start to bud, is something I look forward to every year. With sunglasses on and only a light jacket, there is a lightness in my step and hope and change all around.

The wild daffodils I planted are also up and a bright splash of color against the edge of the woods. I can see them from my bedroom window and especially on a sunny day, they symbolize the new season and the beautiful weather to come. It's the season of sunshine and flowers. Of open windows and putting your face to the sun. Of finally planting something, getting my gardener's hands in the dirt and the miracle of watching things grow.

Happy spring!

Friends and Family

 

 

 

 

Our Easter weekend was filled with a lot of love and tradition. We started out the weekend with an old fashioned polish fish fry (perch) and pierogis at the quaint Polish Yacht Club right in the heart of Detroit. We then attended a Good Friday Vigil at a lovely downtown church, followed by a fun time at another local bar. Our friends are so much fun and we love this yearly tradition, chock full of faith and fellowship.

 

 

 

 

 

My daughters and their boyfriends spent the weekend at our house and it was full of noise and laughter just like I love. On Easter morning, after Mass, we headed to our club for a delicious brunch. We had mimosas, wonderful food and amazing desserts. But of course, being together was the highlight of the day.

Happy Monday!

Florida Vacation in Photos

 

 

We just returned from a lovely and relaxing six days in Florida. It was a quick trip and the weather was a little rainy and a little chilly, but we had a few perfect, sunshiny days that I was able to spend by the pool, so no complaints. We had no agenda besides a little golf, eating seafood and soaking up as much sun as possible. My husband and I enjoyed being together, having cocktails by the beach and the pool and talking about our future plans. Life is good in Florida.

 

 

 

Clearwater Beach lunch and cocktails at Frenchy's. That's a key lime, coconut margarita.

 

Happy Hour every day by the pool.

 

 

Different scenery to experience when I walk in Florida.

 

Alligators can be a little scary on the golf course.

 

Our last night included dinner, margaritas and sunset on Lake Tarpon.

 

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
