Family celebrations...continued

Boy when we celebrate, we celebrate! Our family always knows how to throw a good party! Today was a great day. I took the day off work and drove down to Grandma's to spend the day with my parents. We took a nice swim in the pool. Boy, the weather was so beautiful today! The sun was very bright, but there was a wonderful breeze. Perfect sunbathing weather :) We went to the farm in Deerfield Beach and loaded up on tons of fruits and veggies. Then we had to go to Publix to get ready for our big dinner tonight. I never realized how much cheaper fruits and veggies are at the market! For $15 dollars, I got a whole watermelon, a pineapple, 2 lbs of green beans, 1 head of broccoli, 1 pkg of asparagus, apples, and 5 ears of corn on the cob. That would have probably costed me double at publix.

Then we went to see the remodeling work everyone has done on their condos. It's like everyone is moving to Deer Creek now! Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Teresa's condo is beautiful. Uncle Jim just finished putting up the backsplash in the kitchen to match the new granite countertops. Very nice. Also, Dolly showed us her condo. I was amazed by how clean it was! The walls were filled with pale greens and corals. The kitchen was beautiful with dark wood floors. It made me even more excited for when Dale and I finally purchase our 1st home!

Then came dinner. Grandma really cooked up a storm! She made sauce with homeade ravioli's, rigatoni, meatballs, and pigs feet. Aunt Mary made her world famous salad. We also had fried mushrooms, roasted peppers, and bread. Don't forget the key lime pie and carrot cake for dessert. Boy am I stuffed!

I had to leave a little early to get home and finish some schoolwork before my group meeting tomorrow. The ride home was really long since I was stuck in bad traffic on 95 :( I got home a little after 9 in just enough time to do a little school work. Just as I was beginning to feel frustrated about not being able to get a problem, Dale comes in with a margarita (the recipe we got from our honeymoon in Puerto Rico). So, I think now I'm just going to sit back, relax, drink my margarita, and then get ready for bed. I'll sleep good on this nice full stomach!
