Hi, friends! Happy Spring! Yay!! Who else is happy to see the arrival of Spring? I know I am! The longer, brighter days, along with warmer temperatures and flowers popping up everywhere, make me so happy. Except for the yellow pollen, which is everywhere and on everything right now.
Last week was Charlotte's spring break, and it was also our baby girl's 17th birthday!! I really can not even believe she is 17! It's like I just blinked and here we are. She's the sweetest, kindest person I know. She has the sweetest heart.🩷 She is a gift that's for sure.
We flew down to Florida for the week over her break. The weather was rainy at first, but thankfully cleared off nicely for our last few days. We ate yummy seafood, spent as much time as possible soaking up the sun, did lots of beach walks, and really just took it easy and relaxed. My brother drove down and spent the last day with us, just hanging out, and it was a lot of fun. Last time we stayed two hours north with him and my sister-in-law, but this time we decided to go further south. We weren't sure what to expect when we got to the airport, with all the delays we were hearing about on the news, but thankfully, we didn't have any. Our flights were on time, and everything went smoothly.
I took the sunset picture last night at 7:50 pm, and it was still light out. As I've said, I'm loving the brighter evenings.
Since we were out of town on Charlotte's birthday, I made her a belated chocolate cake once we were back home. It's something she looks forward to every year. I have to say my homemade chocolate cakes are really good!
I have a cake recipe (think blueberries and lemon!) I want to share with you soon. I made it earlier this month, and I'm still thinking about it.
Have a great week, and I hope Spring is finding its way to where you live. Be back soon!
17! Wow, wow. Whoosh goes the time. Love that you made her your cake when you got home. Looks fun! Also, love me some blueberries and lemon. Classic goodness. Yum. Happy Birthday to her. Amazing how fast time goes. Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh. Happy SPRING!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your girl! I love the name Charlotte although for my girls I chose Courtney Elisabeth and Claire Rebekah.
ReplyDeleteGlad things went smoothly at the airports!
Spring for us here in eastern NY so far is gloom, grey, rain, snow, sun, 28 degrees, 72 degrees. Today is sunny perfect blue sky and a high of 48. that's life in the great northeast in March! Oh and although my hiking season has officially begun, it's also the beginning of Mud Season. (look up Adirondacks Mud Season). :)
Happy Tuesday...enjoy the rest o the week.
