My Visit to South Florida

I set off on my visit back to south Florida to see family and friends. I get a call my first afternoon heading south that my mother-in-law was having emergency eye surgery. I rushed to Plantation to pick her up to take her to hospital and back to her doctors the next day. My visit was to also include seeing my son (having 'just' missed his birthday two days before).

Lucky I did get to visit with both of them. Unfortunately my husbands' mom, Laura, wasn't feeling so well after her eye surgery. My son had to work so I squeezed in visits with him during the week and saw him lots on the upcoming weekend.

I also went to visit my friend Evelyn & her husband, Gary. I know Evelyn from my working days as she also worked for a trauma/general surgeon and we did lunch & the usual gab sessions!

I was able to sneak in a few hours to visit my former boss, Dr. Lakin, at his home. He retired shortly after I left his employ but it was wonderful to see him again. His wife, Arlene, is still working hard at her law practice in Margate, FL.

On the drive back, north on I-75 this blimp blew over and I just had to snap a picture. I had no idea the Navy had a blimp ?!

When leaving the parking lot where I got lunch I see this sign in the lot next door. It seems you can do you laundry AND get Mexican food at the same time. (Such a deal..........) Maybe next time !

Oh well, back home now, and back to reality. I am glad I got to visit every one.

I miss you Laura, Larry, Evelyn, Gary, Dr. Lakin & Arlene !

See ya'll
