This Pup Is A Swimmer


While out and about looking at homes for sale we spotted a game of fetch.  This cute pup is a swimmer!  This lake and small park is in one of the neighborhoods we like very much.  
When I saw the mom throw that Big stick I asked hubby to do a U turn.  So glad I had my camera because it was simply too far for my cell phone camera.
I wanted to go and meet the mom of this pup, but we had an appointment to see a house.
Our Roxy and Rambo love playing fetch, but Roxy doesn't care for water and Rambo is a swimmer and will play fetch all day.  
Can you pick a favorite??

GO PANTHERS!!!

Hope everyone is doing great!  I've got a lot of catching up to do in blog land, but not today.  We will be watching our Carolina Panthers in Superbowl 50!  I just love Newton's positive attitude and how he hands out the touchdown footballs to a child in the stands, every time!  Love it!

GOOOOO...

Now There's Three

I shared photos of two beautiful horses and now I have a third beauty for you.  I took these from our vehicle.  I didn't walk over to the fence because I didn't want to interrupt or be disrespectful of the horses/people's home.  The road you see there is the owners driveway.
I will have more later this week! :)


Two beauties I shared before

I spotted this pretty horse that just kept swaying
and taking one step.

He/she heard me talking.  lol

Watch the tail!

the tail was putting on a show!
what is that tail saying?!

They must have some good ears
because as you can see I was quite far away.

Our Life In Cary

We're really enjoying our new home in Cary!  It didn't take long before the neighborhood squirrels came by to welcome us look for treats. lol!  And as you would guess, it didn't bother me one bit!  They are so smart and so entertaining!   
I've actually seen a Bald Eagle in my backyard.  A bunch of crows were chasing it.  He/she landed in the top of a pine tree and talk about gorgeous!  Sadly, it all happened so fast that I didn't have a chance to snap a pic.  Those crows really work well as a team, quite impressive birds.
Son and hubby have been practicing archery, I've been planting flowers and the pups are enjoying their new playground. :)
It's a beautiful day here!  Hope you're day is beautiful in every way!

Our view from the eat in kitchen area



The Blue Birds are so pretty!

Roxanne took ownership of this limb quickly! lol

Rambo loves the backyard!
The fence to the left is what hubby, my dad and uncle built.

North Carolina Is Home For Me Again


Hi everyone!  I know it's been awhile and I've missed you all!  
The move wasn't easy, but we're finally getting settled into our new home in Cary, NC.  A BIG thank you to my parents that helped us move here!  We love you and are very grateful!  My dad drove a moving truck, hubby drove a moving truck and Kyle and I drove the Navigator with our pups. :)  We had a convoy!  We drove all night long and arrived to our new home at 9:30 a.m.. 
Kyle and I cried as we left our home of many years.
 But, now it's time for a new adventure!

Kyle graduated high school May 9th!  We're very proud and we will be having a big celebration when my parents come to visit again.  
I've met some nice people here already!  I'm especially looking forward to meeting Madi and her mom!  They live really close by in Raleigh.  Even though our address is Cary we're very close to Apex and Raleigh, a very convenient location.

I have family that live in eastern NC and I'm looking forward to spending time with them!  

I'll be around to your blog soon!  Hope everyone is doing well.
Please keep Chatty Crone and MadSnapper in your prayers!  They're both dealing with health issues.

I'll leave you with the our last days in Orlando and our first days in Cary, NC...now home. :)

Florida's Crazy Weather

Here in Orlando it's normal to be wearing shorts & flip flops one day and a coat the next day. lol  And that's exactly what's going on here this week!  We hit 80 degrees one day and the next couple of days we were in the 40's.  I don't mind the 40's as long as the sun is shining. :)

This is what I enjoy about the cooler weather. Nothing like getting cozy by the fire.  My son is the best at getting a good fire started, he laughs at mine.:)

Hope everyone is staying warm & safe!


Our home in NC must have a fireplace.
All of us had it on our must have list. :)

3 Wonderful Years!

December 10th was our 3 year wedding anniversary!  
Yep, we're still honeymooners! :)

While we were in NC we visited Lizard Lick.  Kyle wanted to get something there for his grandpa.  It's a small place, you could drive right thru it easily.  We didn't meet any of the famous people this time. 

Hope everyone is having happy days! It's in the 80's here,yuck!  I'll trade someone sunshine for a little snow. :)


Sandra, I am wearing my boots! Wish you could see them!  LOL

Back To Cary

We went back to visit Cary, NC.  The weather was perfect, about high of 65 everyday with sunshine.  I didn't miss the Florida weather at all, but I sure missed our puppy dogs.  
We are still moving to Cary, but not until after the first of the year.  I'm getting so excited to start our life there!

Hope everyone has been doing well.  I will be visiting everyone's blogs soon. :)


everyone knows I can't pass up these guys. :)

these two were so sweet to look at the camera. :)

we pulled over in the parking lot to take pics. :)

On Our Way Back To Florida

While hubby was driving us back from North Carolina I was happily snapping.  Even though he was driving around 70mph it didn't stop me. :)  

After figuring gas cost for our Navigator, we decided to rent a vehicle because it would actually be less expensive.  We used our discount through USAA and thanks to a wonderful lady at Budget we made out very well.  When I arrived to pick up the car the lady working gave us an upgrade, at no extra charge, to a Ford Edge.  I have always thought the Edge was a sharp little suv.  We absolutely loved it!  Our son is 6'2" and he had plenty of room in the back.  I may be looking at buying one in the future. :)  

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

A Trip To Cary, NC

We recently took a short trip to Cary, North Carolina. We are going to be moving to the Cary area sometime in the near future.  I was born in NC and have always known that I would like to return.  It will be so wonderful to be closer to family and to have four seasons. :)
I wanted to share a few pics from the area.  It is such a pretty area and everyone was so nice!


Love it!

Downtown


In one of the neighborhoods I heard barking up ahead and there he or she was, a gorgeous watch dog,
running straight towards our car. :)


I always notice cute pups. :)

And then, there were three!  Their tails were wagging as they were barking. :)
The labs reminded me of my Roxanne-Love and Rambo.
