I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend! I love 3 day weekends….it always feels as if I have extra time to do whatever I want. Everyone needs some ‘veg’ time, don’t you think? I know I’ve told you how much I love the Instagram app on iPhone, and now it’s available on all smartphones…..was anyone excited about that? I tend to photo stalk my life daily LOL, so thought I’d share with you guys some highlights from the past week or so.
I took the girls up to the pool for an evening swim, and captured this sunset.
Last Tuesday morning I went out for another bike ride…..can you say BLISS?
Wednesday morning I headed over to Michelle’s house to spend some time catching up, and then she took me to her local Goodwill where I hit the motherload….look at all those food props!! And I was only half done.
Driving home one night I captured another beautiful Florida sunset….we have them almost every night. I first discovered amazing Florida sunsets when I was in boot camp in Orlando back in the winter of 1989. So far these two pictures don’t do it justice. Wait till I capture one that does!
Friday afternoon we met good friends up at the Inlet. They’ve put in a new lagoon beach area, and being able to sit under the shade of the palm trees reminds me of the beaches in Hawaii. Ahh….heaven, and the kids had several hours to run around with their friends.
My youngest eating treats. The first shot was taken at Dairy Queen on the way home from the beach Friday, and the one on the right was yesterday at our friend’s party. I’d say it was a good week for her!
The only food shot I’m sharing here, but I take many throughout the week and share them on Instagram. Almost everything I make I give sneak peeks on Instagram. This pickled slaw was amazing!
Saturday morning I went kayaking for the first time since last October. It was like meeting back up with an old friend. I still LOVE to kayak, and I had a wonderful morning spent catching up with my good friend Tammy. We were out for 3.5 hours, but as usual could have been gone for the day! If you haven’t tried kayaking….you just have to!!
And there was a bit of shopping too. Saturday night we ended up at the mall. We’re not huge mall shoppers…especially since in our area it’s almost ALL upscale stores, but I wanted to scope out the grills at Sears. I’d bookmarked a few online, and wanted to see them in person. Hubby wasn’t willing to take the plunge Saturday night, but Sunday after church I was given the green light to go back and purchase my our new grill. I’m ecstatic to finally get back to big time grilling since we’ve been limited to a table top grill the past few years. I was happy to pitch it to the curb yesterday. Looking forward to a summer full of grilling!
What?!?! No grill for a couple years? I couldn’t do it! We grill out 3-4 times a week! Are you loving it?

Well we had a grill, but it was a table top grill…..which meant small propane canisters. Unfortunately we had to unhook the canister from the grill every time we used it or the canister leaked out all the propane. That meant I was never able to use it because I was scared to attach the canister myself.
I’m SO thrilled with our new BIG grill. I’ll be posting on it soon.
I really love these awesome snippets of your life through photos! You live in such a gorgeous place, Denise!
