My best friend Paula just moved from Atlanta to Inerarity Point , FL, 3 streets down from my other best friend Dana.
Now I have my best friend Stacey 1hour and a half to the west and Dana and Paula 1 hour and a half to the east.
Life is good!
Paula lived with her mom in Atlanta for 12 years after a horrible divorce.
All this time she talked about a beach house she would have one day.
She even had a hope chest filled with beach stuff.
We all indulged her, like a child who says "this is what I'm gonna be when I grow up".
No one thought she would ever really do it.
But she damn sure did!
She took a deep breath, held her nose and dived in.She quit her jobs (all three of them) , packed her car and moved!
Dreams come true.
But not by themselves.
Paula's girls, Kelsey and Leah, mine, Mariah and Caitlin, showing snowball toungues.
"How can she do that?" everyone asks
The answer is most of her childhood and all of my money spent in a gym.
This is pretty much the way I've looked all summer.
Mariah hasn't had a vacation in years.She was like the teenagers, all giggly and silly. I loved seeing her like that.
On the way home, Mariah said,"I have a feeling we need to stop and buy lottery tickets."
We won 62$!
This made the entire trip cost us 40 bucks!
Life is good here on the sunny side.
I wish everyone blue skies and beach breezes,
Marti

Hi !!!!!! It looks wonderful in Florida. My family and I have been camping in Florida several times. We love going to Panama City, Beach Florida. Thanks for sharing this news with us. Take care.
Sounds so nice. Wishing your friend lots of wonderful times at her dream house. De ;)
The best thing about best friends moving away is that you have an excuse to go away yourself. I love your photos.
