Sunday, November 23, 2008

was my grandson, Aidan's

birthday party. Most of the

family was there along with Lisa's

neighbors & co-workers.

They had a bounce house, clown & face painter.

Great food and a good time.

pictures from my walk outside

another picture of my cane! I'm obsessed!!!
(see post after this one)


pretty ground cover.


these are my neighbors flowers, not sure of
the name but they are bright & beautiful.


orchids growing in our grapefruit tree.
The tree is not doing well, but the orchids are.


little ants hard at work carrying a beetle.
I think it's Ringo...LOL

"pup"

bling bling on the cane

I have progressed to walking with
a cane about 75% of the time.


So I sat down today and pulled out
all my self stick bling that I had and
started decorating my cane.



It's a little over the top, but I love it!




It really sparkles outside.



I think I am walking better now
that I'm blinged out!!! Who knows,
maybe this trend will catch on.

I can't remember if it was Krista or
Cary that suggested I do this...so thanks
to you both!

rico's campaign kick-off party

We had a small fundraiser for Rico's re-election
(for plantation city council) in march '09.
It was great to be out of the house among friends.
Max has a great museum in Plantation, that
features many different artist, including himself.
Check it out sometime.
Thanks Max & Evelyn.

jesse & dominic

My son, Dominic & his girlfriend, Jesse, went
to South Plantation's home coming dance
at Signature Grand last night. They had a ball.
Jesse was on the committee and set up the decorations
and everything for the event and Dom said it
looked great. What a cute couple!

50 days & 50 nights

Well, it's been 50 days since
my knee replacement surgery
and it seems like 50 years!
I won't go in to the gory details
right now, but I just want to
get back to blogging, taking pictures
and creating things again,
along with everything else I did
before this "event".
That's all for now...

Hi !

Getting ready for knee replacement
surgery on 9/10/08.
I won't have access to the Internet
for a while, but I hope to have good
news to share soon.
Please keep me in your prayers.
Thanks,
Camille
