Being promoted to the position of 'Grandparents'!

2011 - will be an AWESOME year for the Nelson/Lynn family. Our beautiful daughter and son-in-law are blessing us with our first grandchild - a boy. Christopher Aiden Lynn is due to arrive June 30 (the same date his Mama was due! How cool is that?)

Movin' on up...

...to a newer model year. When the tires wear out, it's time for a new car. Right?

Our 2001 Lexus RX300 has served us well, but now I'm hooked on them! I was dreading the day we would have to figure out how to get another one, but fortunately it all worked out.

Below, the new 'Baby Blue'...2004 Lexus RX330 - Breakwater Blue Metallic. It's the light blue, light grey interior. The new ones are a bit beyond the old budget, but with my 'secret weapon' (he knows who he is!) we were able to get into this little baby!



Way better turn radius than the earlier model (that was my only complaint with the last one), dual AC controls, 6-disc CD changer - but front load instead of inside the glove compartment, reclining back seats that also move forward and back, both front seats are heated, the windshield has a rain sensor, so when it starts to rain they automatically turn on, and the headlights adjust also - somehow. The manual is over 400 pages - haven't had time to read it yet so I'm sure we will discover some other fun stuff.

Baby Girl turns 15

I have a May Day baby who just turned 15 years old. She was born early, and in a hurry, and hasn't slowed down since! We had her party tonight with a 'few' of her friends. Here's some pics from the frivolity. (Is that a word?)







Next step...Learner's Driving Permit! Yikes...here go the insurance rates...so go ahead an buy stock in Allstate! :-)

Time to Catch Up, and Skywatch Friday


So where have I been, you may ask? I did a really stupid thing this year...started a new job AND taking 2 classes at our local junior college while trying to keep pace with everything else in life...Dumb Dumb Dumb! But, alas, classes are over - one a success and unfortunately one a failure. It was Algebra...what else do I need to say?

But, I'm back now! Hopefully, I'll be able to start keeping up with my blog again.

Here are a few shots from the 'surprise' anniversary trip my hubby put together for our 29th! This is Elizabeth Point Lodge in Fernandina Beach. I HIGHLY recommend this place!


It has a fabulous back porch on the ocean! It was gorgeous, and the weather was perfect!



This was the view out of our room. It was wonderful...we kept the windows open all night and slept to the sound of the waves rolling in. It was very peaceful and relaxing.


He rented us a sporty little convertible, and boy was it ever 'top down' weather!


Another surprise he arranged for me was a morning at the spa! Swedish Massage, Pedicure, Manicure and a hair cut and style. He definitely got the 'Hubby of the Year' vote from that ladies at the salon! Then what could have topped it off better than dinner at the 4750 Cafe at the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island?


Well, okay how about a spectacular sunrise? How's that for a Skywatch?


and...a dozen red roses waiting for me when I returned to work!

Okay hunny, this was only the 29th! Next year is the big 3-0...Hmmmm....
