Lap Top Crashed and Burned Again!

Well, I think the laptop has finally kicked the bucket. I have my genius brother in law working on it....but, it may need a new hard drive and that isn't in the budget til the 1st of the month.  And, I have a new android phone which I can post with but I hate the touch pad because of my fat fingers.... So, I will try and post and update as I can..... Blessings, Deborah

Mermaid in Purple!

I love MERMAIDS! I love everything about them....always have. Their mystical and magical and fun!!! So, while I was down in Florida last week, I sought out every little nook and cranny that sold whimsical, bright, fun, folk art......I saw so much neat art work while I was down there. But, the mermaid paintings and art I saw was amazing!

Also, when we were children growing up, our Daddy was fortunate enough to be able to give us wonderful summer vacations....but, his fixation was the mid-west and western parts of the country. So, we never went to the New England States or went to Florida's Gulf Coast other than when we went to the Keys. Kathy and I were so excited to be able to go someplace that we had never been before. Can you say FABULOUS? The resort the conference was held is Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Destin, Florida. An amazing 2500 acr
