Old Man Winter found Savannah...and Atlanta (and Michigan)

Whenever Christmas is over we RUN back to FL...snow and winter seem to find ATL. In the past few yrs snow has happened several times, and it's really not run being stuck and not having electricity. FL might get chilly but that's no biggy. Sure enough Jan 2018 was no exception...the snow found the south. Even the northern beaches of FL got some flurries, no sticking ...but those folks thought it was a hoot. It snows all the time on the beaches in Maine....but I suppose not so much in FL.
The fam had fun in the snow...it got to ATL in Dec so those kids had fun..

Group effort.....


Gwyn and Vivi's Grandma had fun drawing on their pics


After a chilly day outside in Jan...this sweet girl decided to have a tea party



 Sweet baby Ella, and her 1st snowman.

Then Ella went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Buell in Michigan where there is BIG snow...WOW


Then the snow finally made it to The Carter boys a little further south...this is their first snow...
Quinton was so excited...




The other boys didn't like being cold....sissies...Quinton and Mommy and Daddy did a great job.



And when u r tired of being stuck inside, it's time to find some place that's open...



A fun winter wonderland....and these boys first snow...how fun.

I see some winter vacations in your future.

As for me, I"m glad i missed it all....my white stuff is sand!!!!




Happy 2018....Harbour Isle style

We have never been big on New Year's celebrations but our neighborhood was gathering at the pool for some New Year's fun...and it was just that.
We still came home before midnight, and were asleep before midnight once again...oh well, the new year always comes, even if we are not awake to see it arrive.

We had tables of food we all brought and we lowered the Jellyfish for each midnight around the globe...it was a blast.



We had a blast...we old folks know how to have fun!!!






We headed home around 1030p...and fell asleep on the couch....what a fun evening.

We finally sold our house before Christmas so 2018 is looking good...I see some fun decorating finally about to happen...woohoo!!

Happy 2018 everyone, hope it's a great year for all!!





Christmas.....crazy

Running a bit behind on posts, have had some problems with One Drive,but here goes.
Christmas was awesome, we had a new addition born the day before Thanksgiving Evelyn MacLaine...what a sweet big girl she is. All the other kids were crazy, but had a blast. Getting to be lots of us when we're all together...holidays are busy and a blast. I spent 2 weeks in ATL..some work some fun. Got a chance to keep the Perez kids, including our new sweetie, what a fun nite...even if she did decide to cry a lot. That's ok, Nanny can take it.

And before I got to town there was some holiday fun going on..
