Mixed Emotions

Apparently Mother Nature is thwarting my plans to go home.  Amazing how much I realize I am 100% ready to go home, when I can't. 

Of course if I could send for my dogs I would be quite content!!

Excitement on the beach!

50 yards from our beach chairs, a guy who was surf fishing all day caught this 4 ft black fin shark. I have never seen a beach clear in faster!! Apparently a couple days ago he caught one even bigger!

What I've been waiting for

Finally, 1 full day of nothing -ness and beach!!

Final stop of the Florida tour.  Almost 2 years to the date, back in the same place, same suite.  Hoping its as magical as first time, although the first part of this tour certainly has been!!! # oceanfront life tour

My new friend

Look who I found as we took a walk on the beach before getting ready for dinner....he wasn't shy at all.

Finally, what I have been waiting for!!

Sunshine, warm temps, and time to myself to chill and relax!!! This is my view for the next few hours....uninterrupted solitude in one of my favorite places!

Morning view



In awe that I can take 2 steps out of bed, slide the glass door open and hear the surf breaking 20 yards out, while I am looking at this beautiful view.

Puppies 1st snow! (Picture & Video)

Well at 6 months old he finally experienced snow for the first time today.  
It was an epic experience in so many ways.  He spent the first half hour trying to eat as much of it as he could, and glancing at the sky as though confused about where it was all coming from. 
He then spent the remainder of the day obsessed with getting back outside to play in it, each time coming in the house looking like a wooly mammoth with snowballs hanging from his legs. 
He was ridiculous in his attempts to get outside to play and the other three dogs continue to hide from him and refuse to go out in the pen when he is out there.  He lays in wait, just outside the dog door and pounces on them the moment they are halfway through.  The snow made this game even more fun for him as he ran around the yard, periodically barking as he looked up at the sky.
Later this evening, he experienced another first.  A snowplow.  Granted I don't get much traffic down this road, given that I am in the country and on a dead end road.  However, as he watched out the window, with no idea what to make of the unknown machinery, he began barking frantically as though it were the mother ship coming to abduct us all.  
After spending more than 8  hours on overdrive, within the last ten minutes he has finally crashed and is passed out next to me.  I cringe knowing I will have to let him out once more tonight and I dread the 15 minutes it will take me to get him back in the house, and the other 15 minutes it will take me to get him dry again!  
I can say however, that as time consuming and energy draining as he is, he also brings a level of joy to my heart which is beyond description and he makes me laugh even on days it feels there isn't much to laugh about.

Love and Pride


Kerrie Kerkman added 2 new photos — with Shirley Larson.
My baby girl once again amazes me. She hasnt been "working" in a while, but over last 3 days every time I am at the hospital, my mom commented that she was surprised I hadn't brought Maggie. These two love each other beyond belief anyway, so the greeting was enough to bring tears to my eyes. And watching Maggie as I put on her vest and saw her transform, so excited and anxious to get inside and do her job....it is a feeling of love and pride I cant describe. Through the trials of this week I am grateful for this moment!!!!

Love my mornings
