The Girls are back in town!


My New England Nieces are back down in Spring Hill, FL, for their annual summer visit, and I couldn't be happier! Well...there is one person who's even happier than me...not so much a person...but a certain chocolate brown Poodle:







I think the feeling is mutual.


Hope your summer is off to a great start, too!

Sometimes it's in the details...

Decorative carvings around the entry to a church in Clearwater, FL:



Wonder what it might cost to do this around the entryway of our home...

a girl can dream.

The 4 Hour Mini-Vacation...

As some of you might know, Josh and I run HernandoLuxuryHomes.com, and Josh is a Real Estate agent.  This tends to keep him VERY busy.  Much too busy to take an actual vacation very often.  Luckily, we've got the beautiful Clearwater Beach just a quick ride south of Spring Hill.  We stole away a few hours, and recharged our batteries...together...it was great!

Clearwater Beach, a Marina, and condos with a fantastic view beyond.


Side view of Pier 60, Cleawater Beach, FL...at night this pier comes alive with vendors and street performers.  It's an experience in and of itself.


Right out of the Gulf of Mexico, and over to Jimmy's waterside restaurant...


where we listened to reggae, enjoyed the view, and I sipped on a yummy tropical concoction or two.  Batteries are full...and we're right back at it!

How do you get away, when you can't have an actual get-away?

A litte QT w/ the surf & sun - Clearwater Beach, FL...

My adorable nieces - 3 of them! - are down visiting us in Spring Hill for their April vacations.  It has been wonderful spending time with them.  Great kids who I greatly miss through out most of the year.

This has given me an opportunity to spend a little time at one of the main reasons I moved down here:

the beach.


I'll miss them when they fly back up.

Have you had a bit of a spring break yet?
Did you spend any of it doing something you love?

Proud Mom Post...

This weekend my talented daughter, along with the F.W. Springstead Marching Eagle Brigade, marched down Main St. and through the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, FL.

A beautiful welcome...


Celebrate Today!


When they say Magic Kingdom, they mean it!

Here is the vid. of my daughter & the band marching down Main St.:


Disney was filled with a little extra magic this weekend.

Thanks for sharing my proud Mom moment with me!
