Abby loved being spoiled by the twins. 

 The twins used to clown and do magic. Like they did with me when I was a kid, they had Abby the magician do some tricks.

I also got to see my best friend from high school Clair and her daughter. Weird how she lives there now.  Us, walking the same beach, but at different times.

Family

 I am happy Abby got to meet her great grandfather.

 We brought some pumpkin pie. Interestingly, although I learned from my mom how to make the pie, ours are quite different.

 There was a guy singing Christmas tunes while we were there. We got up and danced because we could, literally physically. We were the only ones.

 Abby was so sweet with him. She would "help" him walk by holding onto his walker. 

 She saw some old family photos. 

 I saw a photo of me at like 16! Holy cow.

 My grandfather was in the Navy.

 Home is where the heart is. Or so they say. I would like an actual one, but whatever apparently.

 Cute wrinkled nose. 

Anna Maria Island

Abby and I have not seen Grandmum and Grandad for about a year and a half. We all decided to meet in Florida. Mum's family is there and of course Disney World.

My mom's family lived in Bradenton, so I visited there fairly regularly growing up and we would all go to the "beach".  I didn't realize all this time, that where my best friend from high school has been living for eight years, and where we were going to is that "beach", Holmes Beach. We drove up and it was just like, Ohhhhhh! Yes Marya, just like that! Ohhhh! Ok.

The water was toooo cold to get in past the legs! 

Abby got to meet her great aunts, The Twins (Monica and Marcia) and Gina. 

The making of a princess - preparing for Disney.

It's a small world after all

Thanksgiving

 He really is just looking down my shirt.

 Abby and I had a lovely Thanksgiving with the Seetown's. 

Brothers. 

I feel I got the best one out of the lot. Haven't actually met the rock star brother, don't need to, and "pretty boy" is not all that! Timmay good!
