Hey friends and family....well it's been a year since I've posted. I am at the beach with Joel and we are replacing the front door (always something) Other than that the condo is in pretty good shape. I have had new grantite countertops put in my kitchen at home and I made new drapes for the family room while I was at the beach. I am repainting the kitchen and family room and getting rid of the "Barbie" flesh color I have had for the last several year. Originally I wanted a nice Salmon peach color. Now I am going for a neutral tan and a dirty drab light green. It will be very light and airy when I am done...that is my hope.

Mick is getting close to graduating, Kellie is full force in grad school and Jill is having a high risk pregnancy. I will be going to Japan again the beginning of May just in case Cliff gets called out. That's what's on the schedule.

Weddings, weddings, weddings. Fallon got married last week and Joel and I went. Jeanne, Katie, Missy and Catherine are all on the calender over the next few weeks and months. I will miss a few of them. These are my friends of twenty years daughters that are tieing the knot. Good for them.

A day at the beach

April in Jacksonville with Jill. I had so much fun taking pictures with the camara Joel had just given me for our 29th anniversary that I went a little photo crazy at the Jacksonville zoo. Here is just a sampling of the very active animals.

New Condo Kitchen

Well we did it....we finally finished all the work on our completely new kitchen at the condo. Hopefully I will now be able post some pictures. I have been here living in chaos for two weeks. I wish I could spend another two weeks and enjoy all the effort, but we will leave that up to all of our summer renters. I hope it's nice when Joel and I get back to the beach.
