Convention Part Two

The best way to get around at the resort!

If you haven't looked at the first installment of my convention news please go back and see the beautiful flowers. They are just gorgeous! :O)

We saw lots and lots of beautiful palm trees while in Key Largo and each one reminded me of my blogging buddy Tina over at

Palm Tree Fanatic! Wish I could have sent some to you Tina! :O)

The weather was perfect and I didn't seem to mind the heat which was a blessing as usually anything over 60* is way too hot for me these days. Ahem.....you gals my age know what I am talking about......do these hot flashes EVER go away????!!!!!!

Of course we had to go down to the cat shelter and visit the kitties. Unfortunately we went on Saturday and they weren't open. Maybe that was a good thing after our fiasco bringing home our two rascals last year!

We did get to see a few that were outside and some that were in the spacious enclosed yard. They have done a great job cutting down on the unwanted cat population by spaying and neuturing as many as they can catch. They find homes for most of them and the rest will live out their lives there at the lovely cat rescue facility.

We drove down to Miami one afternoon and went to the beach. It was gorgeous there and we got our feet in the water. Afterwards we had a nice lunch at an outside cafe. Not being used to such traffic was challenging for me even though I wasn't even driving and challenging for poor Hubby watching me grabbing the dashboard constantly for fear we were going to be in an accident. It amazes me how people drive in big cities. If you try to leave a prudent space between you and the vehicle in front of you someone will squish right in there with nary a thought!

I love footprints in the sand, even my own!

Another thing I look forward to each year at the convention is meeting up with my dear friend Needled Mom! We both have been going to this event for many years with our husbands and even though we live on opposite coasts we have so much in common and look forward to our yearly visits! She is a new blogger and is doing just great getting around meeting lots of you. If you haven't had a chance to see her blog stop in and say hi. In this picture I am the one telling my Husband how to take the shot! lol!

Guess that's it for another chapter on the convention. Have a few more pictures I want to put in but that's for another day. Now I need to go out and take some snow pictures as we are having a fairly major storm. T had a dance program at school tonight but that has been canceled. The roads are slick. This is looking out my back window.

Is anyone else having trouble with Spell Check not working??? Please forgive all spelling errors, I don't have the energy to look up all the words!
