Oh man, so do I!!! We've been working in the yard all week, and my back is killing me. I'd love to sink my feet in the warm sand right about now! Have a wonderful time for me.
Have fun!
Dee
That sand does look wonderful!
Hi sweet friend!
Gosh, itt seems like FOREVER since I've had time to just read blogs and enjoy myself...and you're gone ;-). Between our two weeks in California and then having two grandsons here for Spring Break, I seem to have gotten myself behind. Not anymore though. I'm BAAAACK!
Hugs,
Kat
Dang that does look good! Have a wonderful time! Vanna
I'm super jealous!! HAVE FUN!! I love your blog!!

Judy,
Hope you are having an awesome time...can't wait to hear all about your trip to the beautiful Alabama coast. Mr.CC is leaving here in a few minutes coming down, but I decided I better stay put since I'm still not 100% over my illness. I sure hope it's all gone by Thursday when we leave for our 5 day stay at the lake.
Blessings,
Linda
