Everything is tickety-boo

Just back from the second half of my vacation with my sister, her hubby, and my two gorgeous nephews.  I had such a great time and it was non-stop tickety-boo.  Here are the highlights:

• being greeted at the airport by my family with a sign saying "Aunty Ruth"
• returning to Sanibel, where we used to live and seeing the familiar and the changes
• having my own bathroom in a lovely condo
• feeling a real part of the family
• snuggling down together to watch a movie
• kayaking in the Ding Darling wildlife preserve
• catching up on everyone's news and plans and ideas
• finding new gluten free items in the store
• enjoying the sun, sea, sand and shells...oh, and shopping
• watching the alligators, geckos, and many birds
• feeling the relief of air conditioning
• having silly times and laughing together
• being able to float while standing upright - I think the sea must have been really salty.
• drinking cocktails
• sisterly chats
• wearing bright colored seaside clothes every day
• happy memories
• feeling sad when I had to leave :-(

Sorry - photos aren't work on my blogger account at the moment. They'll have to come later! Hope you had a good week.  Thanks so much Simpsons!
