So what's been going on in my lilac world? Well, I've really been into beading lately. Bracelets. Earrings. More bracelets. More earrings. There are beads everywhere. But I've really been having fun with them. Now the Cameo feels abandoned. I have such a hard time keeping all the 'kids' happy.
At the beginning of May, Mama and my sister and I went to Florida to visit our friends Bonnie and Polly. We hopped in my sister's big black truck and took off. We drove about 6 hours to Savannah, GA, and spent the night, then the next morning drove the remaining 6 hours to Homosassa, FL. What a fun trip we had! Of course, the best part was hanging out with Bonnie and Polly and Bonnie's sister, Betty. The best social worker in the world, Shirley, had made arrangements for me to have my dialysis down there and it went off without a hitch! Other than the fact that I had to be there at 6 in the morning!!!! Ack! But we did some way fun stuff while there. We ate the best fried green tomatoes I have EVER had, and I'm a Southern girl, so I know fried green tomatoes. We rode around and looked at cool stuff. We went on an airboat tour which was WAY fun. We saw sponges. We saw coral. We saw jumping dolphins. We rode over grass. It was way fun. Here is a picture of a sponge.
See those orange blobs? Those are sponges! At this part of the Gulf of Mexico, the land only drops an inch a mile. So we were maybe 5 miles out from land. We also saw osprey nests. With ospreys in them!
How do you like my butterfly ring???
Even at that little bitty size, her roar was fear inducing. She 'meowed' a couple of times and it was SO loud! Made me jump :)
I'll do some more catching up on the blog tomorrow. Maybe. If the beads or the Cameo or the embroidery machine or the sewing machine or the serger or Jerry Springer doesn't get in the way.
Til later,
Morado
