AND I THOUGHT RETIREMENT WOULD SLOW ME DOWN...Show Me A Shadow - Round 315

in Shadow Hunters9 months ago

Hello to all the beautiful hivers from around the world!

This farm-mom has been trying to get back in the game/posting since the middle of December. I think I have only posted maybe two-three times since the Christmas rush.

Here's a short list of events that took me away from all the fun on #hive:

Two trips to Jersey for family Christmas parties.

A trip to St Augustine Florida, then going further south to New Smyrna beach Florida for a month.

Buzz back home for the birth of our eighth grandchild. Gianna Jade is the seventh girl.

Four trips to Pennsylvania to be with my daughter and our new baby girl.

Three trips back to New Jersey for basketball games and birthday parties.

One trip back to Jersey to help my oldest son recover from pneumonia.

My car breaks down and keeps me away from the farm and my hubby for an extra six days.

Seriously exhausted, but of course, that won't keep me from packing my bags and heading to PA tomorrow. I miss my new baby girl and know how fast they change when they are newborns.

Phew! Gosh, how blessed am I? I am so grateful for my good health and wonderful family, retirement couldn't be any finer. 😉

I am working my way back to the hive party and hope this finds all my pals happy and healthy.

Love y'all.

So here is my entry in this week's #SMASh contest. All of these shadows were captured in New Smyrna Beach Florida.

This rental was in such a great location, just steps from the beach. We walked most days to great restaurants, a few with happy hours and live music.

Unfortunately, we didn't have very good weather. High winds and cold temperatures for the first two weeks. We were happy when it warmed up.

A huge highlight...spending time with my best friend.

Great shadow of us, no?

Hey Nina, thanks. Yes, it's been a whirlwind but SO wonderful. How are things with you? Is your hand back %100 yet? I remember you had surgery a while back. Hope you and your family are well and happy.

Happy Easter my friend, wishing you the best.

I've missed your posts! Look forward to more of them.

So glad to be back connecting again with my #hive friends.

Congrats on the arrival of the new little one, life in hyper drive Grammy!

Retirement we tend to have far more to do and accomplish, keep enjoying life.

Happy Easter and Good Friday!

Hello Joan, so nice to hear from you.
Our new addition, Gianna Jade is sooooo cute and tiny, just makes me smile thinking of her.

It's amazing how busy I have been the last few months, can't wait until the lazy days of summer.

Happy Easter to you also. Enjoy!

Gianna Jade a lovely name, sounds like a bundle of joy, we dream of lazy days yet few to be found of late, have a wonderful time watching the little ones grow up around you.

PIZZA!

thanks so much

I hear you are in one of those rough patches, the glorious kind!
Congrats, carry on, and yes, that is a great shadow pix of the two of you. I love the entry too, lots of vectors - my eyes bounce around on the colors and lines while I look at it. Tons of interest. Nice one!

Hey there my friend, thanks for dropping in to say hello. Busy, busy, that's life right now but you won't hear any complaints here, I love my life, and I am truly blessed.

It was great seeing my friend Kathy, we have known each other for 47 years and we never skip a beat.

Have a Happy Easter, let me know if the bunny shows up 😁

Ah! So now I know what you high flyers were up to, and all of the action will keep you very healthy. The family continues to grow and little Gianna sounds like a real cutie.

May all blessings be on you guys and the family this Easter🙏
