Joining you from Ann's place. Loving your lovely list of gratitudes. Especially fresh,
ReplyDeletesweet Florida strawberry's. Yummy. I think it's about time for the Strawberry festival. Thanks for sharing.
Ahhhh, it all makes me jealous to be there.... but I don't have to be jealous for long! I will get to see all of those precious people and places and taste that food myself! I'm giddy at the prospect!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the Converses. It makes me smile. They are the right color, at least. ;>
and you have had tad poles since last year? Is that right? Did they grow to be frogs and make more eggs? How did I miss all of that?!
yes, we too are giddy!
ReplyDeleteand as for the tadpoles, allow me to refresh your memory: Grandma and Granddaddy gave them to him for his birthday last year. However the company could not ship the them in weather incompatible with their survival... as we live in Central Florida it was too hot until our first cool spell in mid-November. So, we've only had them a couple of months & it looks as though another month or so & they'll be headed to the great outdoors. Once those legs sprout it seems to be going quick! Wait 'til next Monday's picture of Tom (:
