Florida adventures

 It’s so beautiful here though yesterday was Florida chilly! I actually shivered a lot and dressed warm but it was a good day. We got to go to the school our grand daughters and daughter in law work at. It’s so nice to see how well things worked out for them here in Lakeland. My daughter in law works with special needs students and loves it.

We went back to Mirror Lake and it’s so pretty today. Hollis Garden is so beautiful a breath of fresh air in the winter. So nice seeing flowers this time of year! It’s freezing at home!




The people here are so nice. There must be something about southern hospitality. At the restaurants and groceries it’s been pleasant. We did meet a couple neighbors in our little apt complex here. We sat outside and had a nice visit with a lady named Joyce from Pennsylvania. She brought us some oranges she picked herself at an orchard. So nice!
  Our youngest son Eric was here with us a few days but he had to head back home for work. We did some fun things . When we were at Clearwater beach it was horribly windy and cold but the waves were beautiful. We went to John’s pass and had some seafood and that was nice. 
   






Getting ready to head out to our sons for awhile and visit with the kiddos. It’s a blessing seeing our Florida family. Hope to see Terri soon too, she’s a great friend . We are blessed.
  Well that’s the adventures in Florida this week
God bless you all!

  4. How long are you staying in Florida? Like Terri said, it would be nice if we Florida blogging girls could all get together again while you are here. I hope the weather gets a little warmer for you...we are having our winter right now for sure!! But it's probably not much different for you! Enjoy your time here and also enjoy your family. Hope we get to see you!
