Busy Week, I'm exhausted

I thought we'd get a chance to chill out a bit after company left, but nope, we are busier than ever.  Sunday was the neighborhood Spring picnic and dinner with the in-laws and my Women's Group Meeting.  The picnic was fun and guess what???  I won a grand prize from the local pool supply house, Pinch A Penny; a fountain with lights all powered by the water of the outflow from the pump.  It's really cool and I'm so happy.  After the picnic, we went out for dinner at a German restaurant, Sandra's, on the beach.  The one my step-Mom-in-Law likes is closing so we wanted to find a new one, and we did.  She really likes Sauerbraten and they have it on the menu all the time, not just Sundays.  So. life is good.

Tuesday was our grand-daughter's 4th birthday.  We went to our daughter and son's house to have cake, and boy what a cake!  It had mountains, trees, dinosaurs and dinosaur eggs - a 4 year old's dream.  It was a blast seeing her face as we sang and she blew out the candles.  Our little Bean, so grown up.

Wednesday I went to hear H.E. Garchen Rinpoche speak in Wesley Chapel.  It was an interesting experience listening to a translated teaching.  It was a long day but so worth it.

Thursday a friend from PA came to visit.  We spent the day doing St Petersburg downtown, the Chihuly museum and out to dinner at Billy's Stone Crab.

Friday, TDH and I went to Hollywood Studios for dinner at Hollywood and Vine.  And what do we find on the drinks menu but a Red Stag Lemonade!  Of course, I had to have it - thinking of you, Mom.  We got home late and Saturday morning, back on the road to Disney Village with our Daughter, Son-in-law, the Bean and the Duke (see, Mom, it's just not as cute) for lunch at the T-Rex Cafe.  It was the Bean's request and she was beaming and dancing the whole time.  She took her Mom on a tour pointing out all the fossils and 'live' dinosaurs and telling her it's okay, they are not really real.  The meteor shower was a bit much, but everyone agreed it was a great way to celebrate.  Afterwards, we went into the Lego store where they have Legos in buckets in the center of a table and everyone gets to play.  And, we all did.

Today is the Block Picnic in a little bit.  Looking forward to relaxing and visiting.

I made some dragonfly pendants for my sister-in-law to choose from and a bracelet, but I'm having issues with the uploader.  Sorry, I'll try to get it caught up tomorrow.

Update 4-29-2013

I received a request from my sister-in-law for a dragonfly pendant, so I made a few and let her choose which one spoke to her.  These are it:

Do you know which one she chose?











I also made a little bracelet that has loops and swirls.  I really like it.

So, folks that's it for this week.  I hope that there is nicer weather where you are and that you can enjoy it.  Be well.
