Friday got here pretty fast this week. I only have a couple of new photos to share. When the weather gets cold, the alligators become lethargic and they seek places in the sun. My boss knows that I love seeing the gators in the wild so he came into my office and told me to come with him, right now. He was out on the property and saw a 10-foot gator sleeping in the sun and wanted to show me...
I'm having lunch with my friend, Shirley, today. Our friend, Cindee, who moved away a few years ago, called one afternoon this week and we talked for nearly an hour. She is my friend who has Parkinson's Disease. She and her hubby moved to Palmetto to be closer to their son and daughter and grandkids. We are trying to plan another get-together. Our group of six once-a-month lunch friends is just Shirley and me now. Melody died, Heather moved to Virginia, Terry moved to Georgia, Cindee is in Palmetto, FL, leaving just two of us remaining in Lakeland. We have many good memories and always had so much fun when we got together.
Shirley, me, Cindee, and Melody.
Thanks for walking down memory lane with me!! So many blessings!!
I wouldn't have seen him without the close up. It's so nice that Damon shows you things like that.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with Shirley!
How fun to see an alligator. Although, I have to admit I couldn't see him until the cropped picture. lol Enjoy your lunch with Shirley today. What a great song and He is the one friend who never moves away and will always be with us. I hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really big gator! Wow! And I love seeing the pics of you and your friends...beautiful smiles and happy faces!
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy memory with the gals. Great photos. Personally, I'm a fan of the wild birds and other nature. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings. xx
ReplyDeleteI have a group of friends that I spend a lot of time with and I am thankful for them. I love wildlife, but I would not want to meet up with that gator by myself.
ReplyDeleteLove the alligator pics, as long he's out there away from where I want to be! LOL. Love that you stay in touch with your "old" friends. I hope you have a wonderful lunch with Shirley today. It's a nice day to be indoors dining with a friend. Kind of a gray, chilly day here. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that - how wonderful - I do know it is hard to lose one by death or moving.
ReplyDeleteI have one with six and we lost one to a move. But some of the gals are sick now.
Have fun.
Love the gator.
Such a blessing to have close friends, Terri, even when some now live far away. What a great group! The alligator photo is amazing, too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Yes, good friends are the gifts we give ourselves! Don't think I'm crazy ("ier") but for some reason yesterday I was walking around singing, "Make good friends but keep the old, some are silver and the others gold."
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Shirley enjoy a great time together!
How nice you and your friend could get together for lunch. I hope you had a great time. Love the gator pic! You know me and Swamp People...I have a gator thing, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun reunion! That gator!! I remember when visiting the Everglades with my family as a teen we saw a gator up close.
ReplyDeleteWhat a friend we have in Jesus was my grandmother's favorite hymn and it is a good one. That brings back memories! Looks like you had some awesome get together with your friends. I was thinking today about how much warmer I'd be in Florida, it's all white with snow now and the air is bitter cold! I wish we could stay longer in the winters. I'd also get that part of the year to see my Florida family and friends more! I hope I don't have so much doctor stuff going on soon but it's safer to keep things in close check after a cancer battle.
ReplyDeleteI like your heart background. I'm not good at doing backgrounds on here I'll have to play around with it someday.
I'm up late tonight because I started my chores late and I have laundry going, it wasn't a good morning to get up early!

ReplyDeleteThese are really motivating personal statement for nursing samples! Although creating my own has been a bit of an uphill struggle for me, observing how others have communicated their enthusiasm and dedication is inspiring. Any other suggestions as to what else might make your personal statements distinct?
ReplyDeleteSeeking assistance with write my assignments for me can be tempting, but it's essential to consider the ethical implications. Assignments are designed to help you learn and develop skills, and outsourcing them may undermine that purpose. Instead, embrace the challenge, seek support when needed, and take pride in your own efforts.
