vacation in Daytona Beach Florida

Oh it is vacation time and I love love love it down here just a few pictures of our vacation. We went to our former pastors and Leta's house for a few days in Saint Cloud before we came over here to Daytona. Bro. Todd has had detached retina surgery and Leta is having alot of trouble with her blood pressure but we still had a wonderful time. We arrived in Florida during a heat wave. Did not know they even had those down here. But the beach and pool make it really nice down here.
Here is a picture of Bro.Todd with his head down. He has to sit with his head down for about 4 hours a day. He has a little rigged up item that he uses and of coarse we had to kid around with him.


Ok this is really how he has to sit for four hours a day and that is IZZY RUNNING away from me taking his picture.


Here is breakfast at the Todds.Bro. Todd and Cindy in the fridge "fixing" our breakfast.

Leta eating breakfast. Notice the nice fruit bowl Bro.Todd cut up to feed us

we had a pizza party and here is Bro. Todd and lisa(his baby girl)

Here is PIZZA AT THE TODDS




ok here we are Bro.Todd, Leta,Chuck,cindy and Don playing dominoes around the table in the evening


Ok from here on down is ALL Daytona beach and the pool(with us in it) the ocean, the table we sit around by the pool and ocean we are all just relaxed and having a great vacation



Here is a picture of Me and Don down by the pool and ocean

will post more later time to go play
bye

Just a walk around the house

Well finally took some pictures of the yard and new pool deck(well not a new deck) just revamped deck. Don painted it, put lattice around the bottom to cover all the junk under it, and we bought a market umbrella and still to be done, new stones around the pool and deck, furniture added up there and welll last but not least we need to open the pool BUT the cotton wood seeds are a blowing very badly right now so as soon as they are done we will open it.




Now here are some pictures of the front of the house decorated for summer time
my favorite time of year besides spring,and fall.



Now I will share with you one of my favorite little corners on the side of my front porch. I just love my frogs even though they are really starting to show their age(about 6 yrs old)


Now i will just take you around to some of my flower beds. Pictures just do not do them justice they are beautiful in person. Weedy but pretty. The mosquitoes are sooooooooo soooooo bad I cannot even get out there and work(I am allergic to bug sprays so we just enjoy the weeed along with the flowers)

New listings on ETSy

So since ebay is so slow selling right now I thought I would list my dolls on Etsy this time.
I finished this doll and she is in some of my favorite fabrics. It is a Debbie Mumm I use a little each summer. I am hoarding it to last as long as possible.
It has watermelons on it, cone flowers, lady bugs and it has the saying summertime and the livin is easy. I love this song and I love the summer time. I also sewed some watermelons up a couple weeks ago and painted them so she comes with a slice of watermelon in her hands too.

So just click HERE and it will take you to where you can purchase her and guess what????? SHIPPING IS FREE YES FREE FOR RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Now I have listed one of my nurse dolls over there too. Here is her picture and just click HERE to go off to buy her.

I have a few other items listed there too so hurry over and check out my ETSY SHOP.
and keep checking back here Don has been revamping our pool deck and around it and today I bought a market umbrella in golden color to put up there. I will get pictures as soon as it is finished and the pool is open for the summer. First we have to take a trip to go see our grandson CODY MCPEAKE graduate high school in PIGEON FORGE Tennessee.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend HAPPY SUMMERTIME

Well just look what the EASTER bunny...

brought to our house. Well actually we had to do all the leg work on this one. We finally purchased a new car. After much looking and test driving this is the vehicle the LORD has blessed us with. Who ever thought it would be a TOyota???
