Back in Michigan~Home Sweet Home~ Pics taken while I was gone

Not as many pictures with my camera, in fact these are all of them.
I did use my phone for pictures but need to figure out how to move them to my computer. This is enough anyways!
I was gone for 3 weeks which surprised myself that I could stay that long .  Norm flew down my last week on Wednesday and we left for home on Saturday. The weather was perfect driving home until we got closer to Michigan Sunday afternoon.
 These are the BEST hot boiled peanuts I have ever had...look how big they are. Got these at a roadside stand on our day trip to Dothan Alabama. I ate the whole cup, yes I did!

 This is my sisters new dog Casey. Italian Greyhound Terrier Mix, not a year old yet. I took him for a walk almost everyday. Called my sister when we got home and she said he sits by the door waiting for me to come in....isn't that sweet!



 Hubby waving hello~
 These top 5 pics were taken at Dewey Destins.
Yes Betty I made it there and lunch was delicious!!
I had a flounder sandwich with fries and a cup of seafood gumbo soup. 
 Here we are at Okaloosa Island Emerald Coast after lunch.
Looks like snow but is beautiful white sand.
I was texting and it was so bright I had to cover myself to see.



 Look at that blue sky!!!
 Picking up shells~
 Love the feeling of sand on my feet.
We were really starting to get sunburn, even though it was only about 59 degrees it was bright bright bright!


 Driving home through Kentucky, one of my favorite states for scenery.

Do we have to leave?


I felt so guilty after just getting home and not seeing my kitties for 3 weeks, I had to get Spunky off to the vet for a 9 am appointment this morning. ( Neutering) Poor guy, couldn't eat or drink  and wanted my full attention and I cage him up and leave him 0:( 
Now catching up on the unpacking, laundry, you know what I mean!
I am temping on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for the next 2 months and trying to get ready for Dawns show on March 21st. ( on my sidebar) so good to be busy these cold cloudy months. 
Time to get back to catching up before tomorrow morning.
Have a wonderful week!!!!

P.S.    So thankful for lower gas prices!!!!!!!!

January is passing quickly since I have been here in Florida

Eye candy for the day! Enjoy~





I have to admit a little homesick.
I plan on leaving Saturday morning so hope weather is not too bad for the long drive.

We did make a trip to Dothan Alabama yesterday which was a beautiful drive. Have you ever been there?

These pics are from my friend Nancy M.   ~
She does a wonderful job decorating, never want to leave when I go visit. Thanks Nancy!

Stay Warm~

Happy New Year sweet blogging friends!

You all know this sweetest blogging friend!!!
I left for Florida on Sunday to stay with my sister for a few weeks and was so excited to meet her in person! 
The drive was good until I reached Berea Tennessee and fog and darkeness came but once off the mountain the fog lifted and I could see again. The area is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! I didn't want to leave. Supper was waiting for me, hot homeade beef stew and cornbread...MMmmmm! 

Do you know who it is yet?
We talked and talked and talked some more ! I enjoyed hearing stories about her and Curtis, and her family. I spent the night in her spare bedroom, the coziest home ever, and next morning we went for a walk around her property and left to do a little antiquing together before I left at noon.

Every antique store needs a kitty in the window....love it!

This is her kitty eating breakfast.

Let me in ~~ Look at that sweet face.

Would love to have one in my back yard!


This was all Chives growing wild.



Clinton Tennessee
'Corner Antiques Shop'
A must stop if you ever visit.





Here we are for lunch.
We enjoyed ourselves so much.
Thank You Betty for your friendship and hospitality!!!



I drove in my sisters about 9 that night and had a great trip.
Sharon and I are staying pretty busy here.
She has no internet so luckily the Niceville library is 2 blocks away so here is sit. 
Today it is 70 out, cloudy, but it still feels great.
Beats 10 degrees at home!

I need to catch up on reading so welcome 2015 and I hope it's a good one for us all.

Hugs
