BEACH TRIP W/ THE GIRLS!

We planned a trip to Blue Mountain Beach for Amber Howard and her sister and siter-in-law, Jeryl and Jonie surprised her by clearing their schedules and spending the weekend with us!!

The first night we were there - the colors were GORGEOUS!! God is such an awesome artist!! Here we are relaxing in Dee's condo. (left to right) Lissa Walker, Amber Howard, Jeryl House, Jonie Miller. I know the plates are empty - but dinner was great and so was the conversation as always. Dee Chambers is sitting at the head of the table. After dinner one night we watched "White Christmas". Well, a couple of us did ... the others were done in and called it a night. And these are my favorite colors - shades of blue and green ... WOW! This is the view from Dee's lanai. We're on the lanai and the weather was GREAT! Lissa shed that vest a couple times that day. I was glad for my short sleeves!CHEESEBURGERS IN PARADISE ... yes, that's where we were!. Those were chocolate nachos in front of us. Amber is holding the sauce that goes on top of it ... which we didn't use and had taken off our tab ... it was straight rum.

This was the fun part. We went to the outlets in San Destin and had a GREAT time shopping! You can't tell, but the packages behind my and Lissa's head started at the floor. We were holding the others because there was no room otherwise. Six girls create allot of happy bags!!Yet another gorgeous shot from the lanai. The sand in Florida is soooo white and unbelievably soft and fine. If I had taken pictures the first day we got there, it would have looked like a mill pond it was so still. Glad to see those ripples. And this was our parting shot. Amber's sisters went one way and the four of us came back to Tuscaloosa. I am so grateful to have spent the time together. It was so much fun!
