I recently spent a month living in Miami with our daughter Michelle who is awaiting a multi-organ transplant. She can't be alone and someone needs to stay during the day so her husband can go to work. So... we ventured down for the first watch in mid April and stayed until mid May. It was beautiful but we didn't speak the language. :) We didn't get a chance to do much sight seeing this time around but I expect we will be going back in a few months or so. I loved the weather (except in the laundry room of the apartment building where there was no A/C). We were right next to MIA International Airport which was interesting... pretty neat actually. The noise wasn't bad either which surprised me. We were able to get out one night and tried some Cuban food... DELISH! Other than that it was a rather uneventful trip. We are hoping to be able to do some sight seeing next time though.
The day before we left we went to my grandbaby Kellen's first Birthday party. I made the cake and we drove 100 miles with it to get it there. I was worried it wouldn't hold up to the distance but it did! Kellen loved it (with both hands). It was cute because she didn't feel good that day and was crying pretty easily but every time she got close to the cake she'd stop crying and her little tongue would come out (lickin' her chops) funny little monkey!
A few days after our return I did a cake for our grandson Lil' Jack's 3rd birthday. He wanted Grama-Pat to make him a "green cake". How could I resist! So we traveled 165 miles with another cake and it made the distance too!
Our neighbor had a milestone birthday so I made him a cake too.
So I've been traveling and caking... life is good when sunshine and cake are involved no matter what else is going on!
