So, it's that time of year again. Next week is BEACH WEEK. It's the week that my family and friends descend upon South Florida for merriment, mirth, and mayhem. In other words, we have a ball!Though I live very close to the Atlantic Ocean, I don't regularly visit. I do "see" if often, driving by. But next week, the visitors generally want to hang out on the beach--both Fort Lauderdale Beach and Miami Beach. We'll also visit those local attractions that they have come to love--including Sawgrass Mills Mall, Aventura Mall, Taverna Opa, Pollo Tropical, Bubba Gump's, the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, etc. etc.
This year, there are also planned jaunts to the Miami Dolphins training facility, Spa Boulevard, and the Dolphin Mall. I think they spend a lot of time online, trying to figure out where they want to go, but then we always seem to hit the same spots. Last year, we ate breakfast and dinner at the same restaurant--the restaurant staff found it quite amusing, since we took up half the place.
At any rate, blogging will continue, in fact, there may be pictures of some of the funniest moments. Please readers, if you don't pay attention to anything else that I've ever wrote, please digest this--FAMILY is the most important thing of all, at least for me. I love my family, even with all the craziness and drama. I was overjoyed to marry into another loving family. I would not be who I am today, had it not been for my family. I love them all, from the babies to the seniors.
What about you? What's your take on family? Could you live without them?
Your comments--priceless!!
My family is nuts. However I still love them. We're going on our family vacation labor day weekend. OHHHHH it's gonna be interesting alright!
Yes, family; love them. Don't forget "gators", Make my husband happy. Can't wait!
Im a Pisces and I love the water, but I dont hit up the beach as often as I should because I'm always concerned about my hair.
My sister is here for 2 1/2 weeks and we are having a good time. We are also going to tackle a project, getting rid of the paneling in my living room that is the brown it came as on top and on 2 walls, white on the bottom and on 2 walls a deep reddish color. I am praying we find walls in good condition underneath, but whatever i will be so glad to get rid of the paneling i don't care if there are huge holes in the walls. We are also going on the world's longest yard sale aug 5-9. We come from a small dysfunctional family, but we have our good times.
I am totally with you, couldn't agree more..."FAMILY is the most important thing of all, at least for me. I love my family, even with all the craziness and drama. I was overjoyed to marry into another loving family. I would not be who I am today, had it not been for my family. I love them all, from the babies to the seniors." When they get on the "last nerve" all I need is a little time away from them to get back on track ready for the next go-round.
Your words, but they are soooooo me. I learned so much from hubby's family and I love the change it made im me. I am not so serious and up-tight anymore. I am "looser" (made up word) and more outgoing.
I love this post! Thanks for saying it for me.
Enjoy the family, and have lots of laffs, hugs and kisses. I am going to miss this summer being around my family, but when I do get there, they get my undivided attention. Have fun.
