I'm going to Florida in two weeks for fun in the sun, and family visiting. My father's parents are deteriorating slowly, but both around 90 years old so it's no surprise. I don't want to miss any opportunities to spend any time with them. All of my mother's family is down there also, so I take the time and try to see someone almost every day. Two or three hours at the beach each day and visit a loved one later on. It lowers the chances of getting sun burned. Her parents died when I was a teen, but everyone else is still alive. I love being able to see them all, and since they are all retired, they are all at my disposal. This time I am going to have my aunt that quilts give me some sewing lessons - I hope. I want to do so many things when I get there, and I plan things to death, that I actually do 95% of them.
Again, I love Florida. I just can't move down there because the job I have here doesn't exist down there. I would have to work for years and years to earn down there what I make here now. I have to stop using this as an excuse and just move already.
Well, I plan on going to the Flea Market at least once and shell picking as much as I can. We are not going to Orlando this trip. This is a beach trip... and a family trip. I am staying near Tampa, and I'm going to try and collect copies of old family photos if I can. These relatives of mine won't part with them, not even for you to copy them. But I am going to try.
Lastly, I can get a lot better summer clothes down there than I will EVER find up here, especially for someone my size. It's hard enough to be plus size, but the ugly stuff I have to pick from is depressing. But down there I always find the cutest stuff. So I am only taking one bag and planning on coming back with two!!!
