So - off to Florida I went and had a lovely time. The wedding was awesome, my nephew and his bride were adorable and all went well. I went on a few 'field trips' that were not in my wheel-house because it seemed like the right thing to do. I did not get enough sleep, as we know happens but it was awesome!
My nephew's new MIL and her sister have adopted me - so I have 2 new sisters!!! We had a blast together and are planning a trip later in the year together!
I met a lovely local gal on the flight down - we also exchanged contact information, so another new friend.
This just cracks me up as I was one who used to get on the plane, put in my ear phones and hope others didn't strike up a conversation. Not that I am introverted, I just always assumed people could look at me and know I was a terrible wife, a terrible mother, etc. How crazy is that thinking?
So - we have extended our family and they are lovely folks. The kids all had a blast and drank way too much and danced to music I have never heard (made me feel old)....
I gave hugs to old people, and danced with a woman who was recently widowed and she was so wanting to dance and cried and hugged me for asking her.
So - I am tired but had a blast. My fur-baby was so happy to see me, she squealed with joy! I am grateful to be home to recover!
Just wanted to share - hope everyone has had a good weekend!! (((Hugs)))

Yay! That sounds like a magical time, thank you for sharing and what a treat to know that the fun continues with your new sisters as well.
Welcome home.
Thanks all.....boy - I am dragging a bit today! To be expected I suppose! Hanging with healthy young people who appreciate me for being me is such a lovely feeling - helps me realize my sons as qualifiers have chosen such a difficult path. It makes me a bit sad to be back....memories are awesome though!!
