Kip and Linda got in around noon yesterday and we played 'shop til ya drop' until about 3. We hit 2 lss, William Sonoma, World Bazaar and one more store I can't remember. The first guests arrived a bit after 4 and, before too long, our house was filled with E's wonderful foods and our neighbors, friends and family. The cider and wine flowed as did the fellowship!

After the last guest left, Kip, Linda and I toured the decorated houses in several of the neighborhoods around here. Kip's wonderful little convertible, Florence Darling, was the perfect way to ride and ooh and aah!

E had to be at work this morning at 6:45 but the girls and I had a more leisurely wake up. Around 9 we headed out to the beach and had breakfast in Times' Square at Plaka's Greek Restaurant. For a bit of time, we had to fight the birds for our pita bread and hash browns but we prevailed. We took a walk on the pier and shopped a bit then headed to Home Goods for some last minute Christmas gifts. The girls head back Tampa way about an hour and a half ago and this ol' gal is heading for a nap and a movie on tv. More pics tomorrow.

Kip and Linda took the pics and did a great job...thanks gals for sharing!
