Saturday Showcase

I thought this idea would be fun, especially for family that live far away, sharing little episodes of our lives.  Each Saturday I will post a random pic and detail why it is significant to me, or at least that's the intent.  Being that all my photos are stored on my PC rather than printed and organized into a beautifully architectured scrapbook, this shouldn't be too difficult a task.

To start, my friend Amie from New York will be making a pitstop at our house this weekend during her family's visit to the Sunshine State.  I met Amie and several other close mommy friends online many moons ago.  We first met face-to-face last summer when 3 of the girls and I took a break from the real world and enjoyed a lovely ladies weekend in Daytona.  I must be somewhat cool being that she's coming back, and bringing her family with her this time!

When I first learned her visit was a definate, we had a teaser of spring in the air.  Temps had pushed upwards toward's the 80's, the mercury was climbing in the water temp (with a little help), and visions of frozen drinks and water guns were on my mind. As luck would have it, here we now sit at 50 degrees, ok we might hit 60 today. DAMN that groundhog!!!  It's highly unlikely there will be any swimming, but given they're from NY, it might be AOK for them. I'll watch from the sidelines thankyouverymuch.

They arrive tomorrow, but until new photos are taken and frivously downloaded onto my pc somewhere (anywhere, I still haven't figured out how to download photos to specific folders), here's a pic from our last visit.  That's Amie there on far right.  She's trouble, so don't let the smile fool you.  Also in this pic from L to R is Amy from NC, whose blog I've linked to in the right column of this page, and Dana from CO, whose blog I've also linked to. Check them out!

Here's another pic from that same weekend in Daytona.  It was nice having permission to act silly.

Happy Saturday!
