new beginnings
sunset drive march 12th
a pretty shell on the beach
the shadow knows
sunrise on ft. lauderdale beach
glorious
Well, to start with, the election is over and as you may be picking up on, we are not celebrating.
We were not victorious, at least in the political sense. On a personal level, we are winners.
We've gone through many changes, emotions and revelations in the last few days. A sea of tears, waves of emotions and a spiritual awakening today at sunrise and throughout the day.
Anyhow...we will be fine. We talked about the last 35 years that we have known each other and the many changes we've gone through...wow...and we always get through it. So we know, with God's help, we can do anything.
Got out of the house early today(march 12) and watched the sunrise on Ft. Lauderdale beach.
We needed a day away, for peace and calm, R & R, and a chance to clear our
heads of all the clutter and just be...getting too heavy for ya??? I'm telling you
it was the prescription we needed...and it was free! We were in our element.
We felt like tourist on a vacation from a place who had never been to a beach.
Sunset...took an evening drive, west to
Alligator Alley...great end to a beautiful day
Instead of "The End"...we are saying "New Beginnings"

F.O.P. and Sun-Sentinel endorses RICO!
This is such a great boost for
our campaign! The Plantation
Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 42,
has endorsed Rico as the guy they
feel is most qualified for the job.
Yeah!!!
And the Sun-Sentinel editorial board
has endorsed him also, saying they
feel he is the strongest candidate for the job.
Yeah again!!!

my baby came home...ok, it's my camera!!!
Just arrived by UPS today, my beautiful pink camera,
the case and the batteries, sent by a little angel named
Donna from Lady Lake, FL., just like she told me on
the phone. There are still honest caring people in the
world and she will be blessed for being one of them!
And thanks to my daughter Gina for loaning me her
camera while I waied for mine! And of course, our
dear Lord for hearing all our prayers.

update on the camera story
I finally spoke to my "new best friend" Donna,
who lives near Ocala, Fl., and she is sending my
camera UPS today. I was overwhelmed with joy.
The funny thing is, her daughter helped her look thru
the pictures and found a photo of "Green Dwellers"
grand opening flyer with her phone number on it,
called her and described some of my pics, and Mylene,
the owner put it all together that it was me...
and here we are! Thank God I take pictures of everything!
Thank you Donna and all the prayers (St. Anthony)
that were sent out for its safe return.
I know it is just an object, but it is very personal to me.
Oh happy day!

boo hoo hoo :(
I am a girl without a camera...
it was "stolen" from the Hard Rock casino
yesterday. Yes, it's my fault for leaving it at
one of the machines while I glazed over hitting
the buttons and winning. I went to sit next to
my sister-in-law and completely forgot to pick it
up and take it along. By the time I realized, maybe
15 minutes later...it was gone. I checked
lost & found/security,
and no one turned it in...they "stole" it.
I had every picture I've ever taken on there since my
kids gave it to me for Mother's Day last year and I really
loved it. It was pink and in a cute black case with palm trees
on it. I also had extra batteries in there and some of the
"re-elect Rico" pens & emery boards.
I hope when the thief looks through the pics and sees all of my
children & grandchildren, they have a heart and return it.
I guess I'm very optimistic and hopeful.
So...if you happen to anyone taking pictures with a pink camera, call me!

my "new" "temporary" work space
Once again, I have spent days organizing my
bead "collection". However, this is the first
time I have labeled and color coded everything.
(My daughter Angela gave me the label maker
last year...thanks big "A").
This will help me to get my ETSY sale items ready,
put grab bags together, and make jewelry in a
relaxed way. Now, if I could only do this to the
other room in my house that has scrapbook &
rubber stamp supplies, I'd have it made.
"One day at a time"
work table and bead boxes
bead boxes and rolling carts
beading supplies like crimps, spacers
jump rings, ear wires... I love it!
beads, beads and more beads!
view from my table... I put the fish net up on
the window for some reason and I think I may
take it down.
I'm very proud of myself for doing this.
My body aches, but it was worth it.
I would sit down and make something, but I
don't want to mess it up!

celine!
WOW!!!
What a show she puts on.
We went last night to
AAA in Miami and we were
treated to a spectacular
performance by Celine Dion.
The energy, the voice, the
costumes changes and of course
I noticed her jewelry. She is
a true entertainer.

Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy
We went to see the show last night
at the Hard Rock and OMG!
It was amazing. The colors, costumes,
the actors, dancers, singers, etc.,
were spectacular. I was like a kid
in awe of the way they bend their bodies,
like pretzels and I still can't get my knee
to bend all the way back after surgery.
I would recommend it to everyone.
It was a Christmas gift from our friend, Bob.
Thanks again Bob!
