Florida Vacation




Well, We had some much needed rest in Florida a few weeks back. We took my husband's daughter and granddaughter with us to visit my father and mother and step-father. It was really nice. The weather was great - we went to 20 degrees to 86 degrees in a matter of a few short hours (we flew down). Then when we came back it was about 40 in Florida, but only 6 in Buffalo. We were really busy down there. We went for a walk around one of the lakes in Lakeland (where my Dad lives), it has a lot of birds there like swans, pelicans, storks, ducks, geese, etc. We fed the birds some bread. Some of them would come up and take it out of your hand. The swans were as tall as us with their long necks. Our granddaughter is starting to say words now, like mama for grandma, bird, book, hi, ma for mommy. She is so wonderful to be around. The second day we went to the Zoo in Tampa, that was great! Third day we went to Cypress Gardens, that was super too! Dad took us there, it was nice to spend the day with him. Then we went to my Mother's the next day and went to the beach. The dolphins came in but not too close as there were people surfing. The first time I ever saw that in person (surfing). Although the waves weren't that bad, they didn't knock us over or anything. It was the perfect day to go to the beach, as Dad said it got in upper 80s and was really humid while we were gone. Then we went to the flea market and craft show the next day. Sunday we went to church, and rested, we had my husband's sister and brother-in-law come down and see us. We took them to the lake to see the birds. Then we flew back home, to cold weather. It is finally getting warm now, but is quite rainy today. It is in the 60s today.

I have a new job - I now work in production in Lockport. I am really enjoying getting back into it again. I love it. It is so much more relaxed there, even with the deadlines.
