A Few Favorites!

Hello Friends! Hope you are enjoying some lovely weather! After last winter and the overwhelming amounts of snow and dreadful cold temps, we are enjoying warmer than normal weather this year! Hmmm- I like this better! And, of course, when the weather warms up, it makes me want to share a few of my favorite things!

Last summer, I had these sandals or some just like them and they were THE BEST! Comfy for my old lady feet and easy to get on and off and with a back stap so I didn't slip out of them and fall! I found these on Amazon and just ordered. Fingers crossed they will be just as good as last year's!

And who doesn't love polka dots!!! Maddie and I are obsessed! Anytime we see something in polka dots, we run and grab our sizes! Love these shorty pjs and they will be perfect on a spring break trip to . . . guess where???

Most of you know by now that I L O V E chocolates! Almost any kind will do - though not dark chocolate as that will usually trigger a migraine. I was absolutely delighted to find this Bridge Mix recently. Does anyone remember having this as a kid??? My Mom and her friends used to have Bridge club monthly and when it was at our house, one of the things she always had was Bridge Mix. I still love it and it reminds me of my sweet Mom and her adorable friends playing bridge in the living room.

One more thing -- did I tell you . . . I got a new car -- well, new to me - not brand new! My sweet big red jeep, while still runnning - it has some issues and has been relegated to being an in-town vehicle and is unable to make the drive to see Maddie in Kearney. I got this one the first week she was there as I HAD to get there to see her and didn't want to drive Rickster's older car (too big for me). It's just the sweetest little car- it's a 2019 Kia Soul. It's not big or fancy and I didn't want big, fancy or pricey, so it's perfect! A friend told me it looks like a toaster! It kind of does, doesn't it? I call it a Baby SUV. And, I even got different license plates with the Nebraska Sandhill Cranes. The Sandhill Cranes stop in Kearney every year and it's a HUGE event, so I wanted the plates to remind me that this year Maddie is in Kearney. PLus the blue plates look fabulous with the white car.

And my most favorite -- Miss Maddie!!

What are your favorite things lately?? Please share!

Looking Back to the February Trip

A little more on our February trip!  It was so much fun and with all that is going on now, 

we love looking back on the photos and fun!

As I mentioned earlier, when it was 8 degrees in Nebraska, 

it was 88 in Orlando.  Can I just say that both Maddie and I loved feeling the warm sun!

  It was THE BEST!!

We spent time at the parks and on rides - but also had to 

visit the pool on that 88 degree day!

We stayed at a different location at Disney this time since we booked so late. 

 Mr. Tennis and I had stayed there many years ago with the boys.  

It has totally been rebuilt and is a huge resort/convention center and even more beautiful!

Huge waterslide off to the side.
We did not try it this time.

Even though we had a bit of rain here and there and 

my hair frizzed up (as usual), it was still loads of fun!

Catching Up a Little!

It's about time for me to attempt to do 

some catch up! 

So . . . . . ..

I figured I better start back at the beginning of

summer vacation and our trip to Disney World.

Our trip was over Memorial Day - so I'm only about six weeks behind!

Better late than never, right! :)

Time lapse photo above - if you look carefully, you can see

me and Maddie in the big photo above and close-up below!

The view of the castle never gets old!

And here we were again after Connor joined us!

Can you see us in the lower right-hand area?

Although they say it never happens, Disney screwed up

our reservations that I made a year in advance and

informed me a week before departure that our

room was no longer available!!

GRRRR -- it's a long story and so annoying,

but we didn't let it ruin our trip!

As you all know, we LOVE Disney World,

so I'll be updating our trip and photos in the next couple posts.

It was beastly hot there with temps in the high 90s and heat index 106!

In an attempt to feel cooler and be cooler, I opted for dresses

 -- how do you like my polka dots???

Stay tuned!
