What a week...

 

Fourteen days of early morning walks on the beach, eleven meals cooked on the grill, 20 plus dips in the pool both solo and with the Grands, too many meals with family to count and about the same with our wonderful friends (who also happen to be 'family'), two birthdays in two days and a gazillion sunsets beyond description...welcome to our life these past two weeks. 

We bought back the week we gifted to our son (due to a job layoff the fees are beyond him right now) and we may already have it rented for next year.  This year, we 'gifted' it to a fellow teacher at the school where my daughter teaches,  When the kids went invetro to get our precious twins, this woman stepped up to the plate, learned how to administer K's mid day shots into her stomach, helped her move her room while K was pregnant with Leighton and who defined amazing.  For a variety of reasons, she and her husband never had time for a honeymoon so we are all hoping this will be our way of saying thank you. 

Our birthday girls were Denise, our dear friend, Jadee's mom, whom we adore (both of them) AND our wonderful room mate this past week, our dear friend, Linda Adams, who has joined me in the Medicare Era.  We fested them at our annual "bring all your left overs and bbq " on Thurs night and then for our traditional visit to the Fish House (see pics of the food)on Friday.  Happy B'day ladies.

Every year we go to Estero Island Beach Club is different:  some of our friends own every other year, some rent but wish to own and some of the every others want to be every year folks like us.  Every year is unique and every year is so special.  These moments we spend together keep us glued until we once again toast the working people daily and the sunsets every evening.  It does not get any better than this
