I'm back in Michigan from my Florida vacation, and finally caught up with things. I had a wonderful week in Clearwater visiting my sister Jan and her family and spending time with Mom. We celebrated her birthday on April 3 with some shopping, photos on the beach at sunset, and then a late dinner at E&E Stakeout restaurant.
Dusty, Chris, Jan, Mom, and Darren We celebrated Mom's birthday again on Sunday with Jan's boys at the Lucky Dill restaurant. It is a New York style deli restaurant, with free cheescake for dessert!

Had to have a photo by a palm tree! It was a great week, only one day of rain. We spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool, a couple of trips to the beach, shopped and went to restaurants. But most importantly, it was so nice to spend some real quality time with my Mom and my sister, and to also get to know my nephews as the young adult men they have become. I had not seen them in quite a few years. Jan's other son, Nathan, lives in North Dakota, and he and his fiancee are expecting a baby boy soon!
