I've got sunshine.


Yesterday, Addie, upon seeing the sunshine outside, ran into her room and grabbed her flip-flops (we call them slippers in our house) and demanded to go play out in the sun. There she was, pajama shirt, princess underwear, and beach shoes...ready for the 20 degree cold outside.

So, I said "OK" and with a chuckle, opened the door.

20 seconds later: "OOOOOOHOOOOHOOOHOOO!!!" She ran to the couch and burried herself in blankets.

Well, she was determined to enjoy the sun.

So, she pulled out a couple KIDS chairs, put them in from of the window, and informed me:

"Mom, I need to take a belax (her word for 'relax') on the ocean."

So, with feet out, head back and eyes closed, she sunbathed. In her underwear. In the middle of February. In the middle of our family room.

When life gives you cold weather, find that sun and bathe in it!

(Even if it is in your underwear!)

What a wonderful post. Addie would have been so happy here yesterday. I hate to say it was in the low 70's. We can't believe it either! Spring is here as well. The daffodils are in bloom as are many trees and shrubs. It should be moving your way soon.

I'll arrange the yard furniture to capture the most sun in Addie's honor, but don't tell her, it'll just get her hopes up! As always, love your work and enjoy stopping by.

Continued success,
XO Suzanne
