Just a random bit of Florida! I love the colors and textures…

I just returned from dropping Mom off at the airport. Any moment now, she’ll be winging her way home. It is early enough that I am home again and relaxing for a few moments before heading into work.  I really enjoyed spending time with my mom though I wish it had been a better vacation [...]

I have less than a day until my Mom arrives but I just am not going to make it. The Boss Man, recently returned from a trip to Mexico, brought me back a little present. Nope, not a t-shirt! He brought back the flu. He’s just getting over it and I’m just getting into it. [...]
