Boca Grande
Boca Grande used to be a beautiful seaside destination. A haven for the rich and famous. The DuPonts, Rockefellers, Audrey Hepburn and others had homes on this island retreat. But over the years it has changed. So much so that I hardly recognized it. Where we used to take our bikes over the whole island, it is now nothing by condos and houses jammed together.
The original lighthouse. The Port Boca Grande Lighthouse was built in 1890. Restored in 1985.Wednesday, March 13, 2024
Happy St. Patrick's day
I think everybody is a little bit Irish on St Patrick's day. It is a day when you eat Corned beef and celebrate all things Irish.
I love my Jadite dishes. I don't have many but I love the cool green color.
The salt and pepper and cake stand are not Jadite, but they match so perfectly.
The silver service is from the 1940's. I received them as an inheritance.

Two dozen Roses
My hubby gifted me with two dozen beautiful Red Roses for Valentine's day. I could not let the day pass without pairing them with his grandmothers china.

A Mother's Gift
When two of my favorite authors collaborate, it's always a good thing. Scheduled to be released in April.
Two sweet stories together in one book. A good read, especially as a gift for Mother's day. Lee Tobin McClain's "A Mother for His Child", single dad Blake Evans six year old daughter wants her babysitter Zoey to be her new Mommy. Difficult for Zoey, a waitress, to let go of her foster care past, to feel worthy of a professor.
As a little girl plays matchmaker in The Mommy List by Kathryn Springer, is next door neighbor Megan ready to take the leap with Gage?
I received a complimentary an e-copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own
