May & June are fun-filled months, we have a lot to catch up but first I want to mention 2 special events. One was a visit from my favorite Canadian. My Great Aunt Betty is very special to me, not only is she my Grandpa's sister & my Dad's favorite Aunt but she's the lady who took Mike & I in for 3 weeks when we first moved to Florida in 1997. On short notice, no questions asked, with never even meeting Mike... she welcomed us with open arms into her Florida home. She & my Uncle Jim were snowbirds for many many years. After Jim passed away in 2002, she made some changes. First she sold thier Florida home & chose to rent, then she began shortening her stays from 6 months to 4 to 2. Last year we were so sad when she decided she wouldn't be coming back to Florida at all, but this year she couldn't stay away. She felt fit for a trip so she flew down for 2 weeks! We were overjoyed! She was on the go the whole time she was here but she did squeeze in two dinner dates with us. We loved having Aunt Betty in town, it was just like old times. We've really missed her and are very hopeful that she'll be back for another short stay next Spring!
Several weeks later, my best friend Jackie gave birth to her 3rd son, Cameron Karter. Born at 4:34 in the afternoon on June 1st, weighing just shy of 8 lbs. He looks just like his older brothers in this picture. What a cutie! I can't wait to see him again. I'm planning to drop in on Jackie next week after her Hubby returns to work, she is going to need all the help she can get with a newborn & her active 5 & 7 yro sons!
Stay tuned... lots more updates from May & June to come!
