Echo’s childhood friend Julie is in a band with 3 of her friends and we had the pleasure of experiencing one of their head rocking concerts at Hollywood Beach last night.

Vintage kitchen vs. a country kitchen ...

Either way it’s where everyone gathers

It rains every day around one and it's getting old

Homeschooling can be so much fun ...

Especially when you use vintage learning tools

Morning haze

Hey, shouldn't you be resting?

I can do that, I'm just too busy to show you ... yeah that's it, I'm too busy.

Fort Lauderdale Beach Bash

Our church had a bash on Fort Lauderdale beach yesterday to celebrate their 100^th year.  We joined in on the festivities and got to enjoy good food; good people and oh, yes the water.   There’s something about Fort Lauderdale Beach that separates it from all the other beaches in South Florida but it can’t be explained you just have to experience it.

After we had a wonderful time, Judith had the misfortune of falling on some uneven sidewalk/road combo and we spent a couple of hours at Memorial Hospital for x-rays and diagnosis.  Turns out it’s a bad sprain and she’ll probably be laid up for a week or two.

Hey, Elise they set fire to my cake

Don't worry you get to blow it out before it consumes the table

I'm one and I feel fine
