Three Weeks in Florida

I've been remiss in my blogging, but I think I have an excellent excuse.....I just became a Grandmother for the first time!  That's right, little Alexander Campbell arrived on November 1st, 2010.  For you other Nerds out there, Alex is the little Binary Boy or "Lil Bit" for short. How so, you ask? His birthday is 11/01/10. 
My new moniker is "Granna" and I am as proud as a peacock and pleased as Punch. How's that for idiom overuse?



On October 23rd, I left Topeka and drove to Clarksville, TN, where I spent a day and a half with my niece, her husband and her three wonderful children. There was an added bonus because my ex-brother-in-law was also there.  He and I have been friends for many years, but I haven't seen him in quite some time. We all had fun at the Pumpkin Patch, picking out the children's Halloween Jack O'Lanterns and I had lots of photo ops to practice with my camera.

On Monday the 25th, I continued my trek to Florida and arrived late that night. Florida is where my daughter and son-in-law have lived for the past six years.
 
I arrived in plenty of time for the "Big Event".  Since this is their first baby, I consider myself lucky that Alex arrived only a week after I did. I have had plenty of time to help the young couple transistion into parenthood. Doubly so, since my daughter ended up having to deliver via ceasarean section.

I'm going to end for now and continue writing about my travels to and from Florida when I get back home.

I'll leave you with a link to an interesting blog. Food For Thought
