Day 37, Thursday, February 6, 2025

 

We had a busy day!  We went to Fort Morgan, which is the only beach Coco can go on the sand and in the water.  He doesn't really like the surf but loves the sand and all the sniffs!  He was so tired after we walked on the beach.  We ate at the Shrimp Basket in Foley.  I could eat my weight in hot peel and eat shrimp!

Day 36, Wednesday, February 4, 2025

 

We joined Planet Fitness, so we can continue our exercise routine.  It was 72 degrees today.  We had a visit from a cardinal in the yard at our cottage.  Coco loves to walk around the yard during the day.

 

Day 35, Tuesday, February 4, 2025

The Fairhope Pier is absolutely one of our favorite places.  We came here in 2019 looking for a place to stay in January 2020.  Coco can be on the grounds, just not on the sand and water.  So many smells for him!

 

Day 34, Monday, February 3, 2025

 

Our first time to visit Buc-cee's!  Coco thought it was pretty cool!  LOL  We made it to Fairhope about 4:00 p.m.  Our vacation is off to a great start!

Day 33, Sunday, February 2, 2025

 

You can't see Coco... but he is back there in his car seat.  We are off to Fairhope, Alabama, for the month of February.  Our first time being "Snow Birds"!

Day 32, Saturday, February 1, 2025

 

I took purses to sell for Totes for Ta-Ta's.  Anyone who bought a purse or brought a purse to donate got a green ticket!  I got $175 in donations, $235 in Sales, 67 purses donated and 17 purses sold!  Thanks so much to my crafty friends at The Barn III.

Day 31, Friday, January 31, 2025

 

I just love this group picture!  We have been friends for a long time.  What a great group of girls!  Lily went home sick last night and left early today as well.

Day 30, Thursday, January, 30, 2025

 

The Crafter's Conference at The Barn III started at 1:00 p.m!  This is the 3rd year I have participated in this event.  I had made some new friends during the past few years.  The staff at the Barn is wonderful to everyone who attends!

Day 29, Wednesday, January 29, 2025

 

This is what we call the "A" team at Take Two Resale Boutique!  Amanda, Ashley and Aprile! Ha!  We work great together.  We tag, price, hang up and put away all the merchandise in the store!  I'm so happy to have this in my life!

Day 28, Tuesday, January 28, 2025

 

This is the first post of our sign at Take Two Resale Boutique!  We are so happy to be a part of this new store!  If you haven't been to Take Two.... you need to go soon!

Day 27, Monday, January 27, 2025

 

I have been a fan of Norbert for several years now.  He is an amazing little guy who is a therapy dog.  He passed away yesterday in the arms of his mama.  He was just 2 months shy of being 16 years old. He was the only pup in his litter.  As an adult dog, he only weighted 3 pounds.

Day 26, Sunday, January 26, 2025

 

I am going to a retreat in a few days.  I have started packing my "crap" to take with me.  I always over pack, but this year I will be driving home between days, so I don't have to take as much stuff all at once!

Day 25, Saturday, January 25, 2025

 

I have been working a set of puzzles from one box.  There are 8 different puzzles.  This one has 500 pieces.  It is #4 in the set.  I love working puzzles but sometimes have a hard time walking away from them.  I have been trying to work on them in the evening for 30-60 minutes and then walking away.

Day 24, Friday, January24, 2025

 

We bought the glass heart in St Petersburg last May.  I got one for me and one for Stacie.  I had my friend Kim, who does wonderful jewelry.  She made this necklace for me and a key chain for Stacie with shamrocks.

Day 23, Thursday, January 23, 2025

 

We created this sign for our new boutique for Totes for Ta-Ta's.  Ashley is so supportive of our fundraising efforts!  It will be fun to watch this sign change throughout the year!

Day 22, Wednesday, January 22, 2025

 

Jim has the bird feeders out.  The squirrels are very brave and try to get seeds from every feeder.  They are eating all the seeds the birds have kicked out the feeder from above.

Day 21, Tuesday, January 21, 2025

 

I got this picture from Vicky Cluskey this morning.  She is in Orange Beach, Alabama, which is just 35 minutes from where we will be staying beginning February 3!  What the heck is going on in the south?

Day 20, Monday, January 20, 2025

 

I have gone to decaf tea.  I started brewing my own tea.  I only drink tea or water at this point in my life.

Day 19, Sunday, January 19, 2025

 

I went to a Stampin' Up event yesterday with Carol, Vicki and Diane!  It was so much fun!  I love the cards I completed.  I really enjoyed spending time with my stamping friends.
