Sunday March 22nd~

Every moment with you has been a 
treasure. You've brought joy into our lives
from the moment we first held you...

Today the one that made us grandparents 
turns 13.  Aleah, the first of three girls. She stole 
our hearts the minute we saw her. I keep saying 
where has the  time gone by; and why so fast. 
 Today she's a beautiful young teenager now.


The first time we saw Aleah was December of 2013. 
 She came to Florida with her mom, Michelle and 
Michelle's mom, Elisabeth.  It was a beautiful time. 
 For that short time we got to spend all our time 
with this little one.  She even met our Brutus. 


When we were downtown the other day it was 
packed.  One table was occupied by a couple, but
 it had 2 available seats. We asked to share and of
 course I started up a conversation with them.  


The couple was from Canada and have been
 snowbirds in Fort Myers for over 16 years.  They
 said they had checked out out parts of Florida, but
 Ft. Myers was the one they always came back to.
.

When they left another couple asked to share 
the 2 open seats.  I chatted and found out they 
were from upper Michigan.  The wife specified the 
upper part.  Also snowbirds from October to May. 
Downtown, always something for everyone


 Then they left I saw a couple standing and asked
 if they wanted to share the table.  Found out they were 
from Ohio and also live in Fort Myers from October to
May.Was a very interesting evening.  By the time we 
left another couple was already waiting for the seats.


We did make it to Fort Lauderdale, I was happy 
because I got to go to the Swap Shop and get some 
of my tropical fruit.  I do find them here in Ft Myers, 
but not so much the coconut already prepared.


Wishing everyone a very good Sunday. Today
 we have a lot of cleaning to do, but for good reason. 
 All is good with us. Sniff decided he did not want 
to eat this morning.  Sure knows how to stress me 
out, but it's Sniff ๐Ÿ’œand he's my happy place.


A very happy birthday to our granddaughter Aleah who
 turns 13 years today, also to Max our nephew whose birthday
 is tomorrow.  Max is on the way to change the world ๐Ÿ’œ


Happiness is not a goal...it's a 
by-product of a life well-lived...
