I have been watching Dolly, Michael and Valerie's dog for the past month and then some. She has come to think that if she hides, I won't find her to put in the crate before heading off to work. Too precious not to snap a picture!
She will be heading home the end of the week as Michael and Valerie will finally be moved into their new apartment. It is a 2B2B and 2 stories. I don't know what they will do with all the extra room. I'm sure Dolly will enjoy running up and down the stairs.
School let out June 7. I took the last 2 days off from school so I could attend my nephew's graduation in Ft. Lauderdale which was at 9am Jun 7. I spent Wednesday getting things in order while waiting for my sister Mary to come in from Charleston, SC. I will drop her off at her daughter's in Boyton Beach on my way. It will be nice having a travelling companion. It always makes for a quicker ride.
This is the harvest I will be taking along with me. Notice how tiny the cantelope is? It was quite tasty for such a small size. We shared it amongst 5 people. I felt like it was the loaves and fish!
We decided to do pictures the night before the actual graduation being Matt had to be there at 7am. Ouch, that's awfully early!
Grandpa Harty, Matt, Aunt Diane, and Aunt Trish
Jim, Nereida, Matt, and Chris (what a beautiful family if I do say so myself)
The ceremony was at Nova Southeastern University. His graduating class was around 400.
I stayed for an extended visit. Saturday, we ventured out to Ft. Lauderdale beach. I was amazed with how many turtle nests there are, at least 50. We are adventurers, so when Matt and Jim noticed bait fish getting pushed upon the seaweed with the passing waves, they decided to catch one.
Lastly, I had to take a picture of the beautiful blooms on the tree across the street from Jim.
God's creations always take my breath away. :)
Sunday, Dad and Mary headed home with me. We made a stop in Stuart to visit Aunt LaDon and have lunch with her, then continued on our way. Mary stayed Sunday night, and continued home Monday morning. Dad stayed until Thursday. I was very thankful to have special time with Dad. We went to Planet Fitness everyday. There he could get in his 2 mile bike ride, and I could have my normal "day at the gym". We also had a picnic lunch at the Dinky Docks in Winter Park in hopes of spying the black bear in search of a mate. He had parked himself in a tree along Aloma Ave. We have had four black bear sightings in the past week. Two of which were tranquilized and relocated to the Ocala Forest. Who would think you would have "urban" bears in Orlando! Thank you Lord for the Blessings of a wonderful week full of festivities and family bonding time. The events that foster fellowship are what life is all about. :)
