And Then The Rains Came...

It's Raining.

It's Pouring.

I believe summer has officially made her appearance here in South Florida.  The heat, the humidity, the large flying insects, and most importantly, the rain.

When I first moved here I dreaded the rain.  But now I find myself wishing for the rain.  Even if it cools down the muggy swamp for only a brief moment of relief, I'll take it.  From where my desk is, I can look out the window and see the black clouds rumbling over the Everglades.  The storms move in fast, lightening flashes, thunder shakes our little double wide trailer.  Like clock work at 4pm the daylight turns to night.  Just in time for our commute home.

Project

Bobby and I are working on a musical project! One of our my favorite things to do is sing duets. I sometimes have to pull Bobby's arm, but usually I can get him to at least sing Extreme's More Than Words.  I don't have the best voice in the world, but I can generally sing in tune and bobby will make up for my lack of Celion Dion vocals with his lovely voice.

One of the first movies we ever watched together was Aladdin.  Not quite sure how I convinced him to watch that with me...the things you do when you really really like someone!  We've watched it several times since and love to sing the duets. That is all I will say about our musical surprise...stay tuned!

Good-bye my Love

A member of our family passed away last week.  Our kitty Pepper.  He was 19 and the perfect friend.  I loved him with all my heart and our family will miss him deeply. 

Thank you for all the fun times playing with me, taking naps with me, laying under the big tree in the backyard on long lazy summer days with me, helping us open our Christmas presents.  Thank you for being the best listener in the world, making our family laugh, and showing me unconditional love (even when I may not have always deserved it).  

My heart is sad and I know the next time I go home it will seem empty without you.  

I will always love you, my dearest Pepper
