Commenting on the blog- 101

Comments are possible making this site more personal and interactive for all of us. Leaving comments lets people know that they are being heard and are an important part of the blog-play.

So, I wanted to point out to everyone who has been posting and those who are checking in and reading, that comments are being left after the blogs are written....so if you posted, make sure that you check to see if anyone has left a comment for you.

And if you are just coming on to read, make sure to leave a short comment or three, by clicking on "comment" underneath the blog and then following the prompts....you'll also have a chance to see what others have written when you click on comment. You do not HAVE to sign in to leave a comment if you don't want to....anyone can leave a comment, whether or not you're a member of blogger.

The word verification (the wavy letters that they ask you to copy in the box provided) is to prevent spammers from leaving advertisements on our blogs.
F.Y.I.: Clicking on the little pencil symbol allows you to do an on-the-spot edit, if you left out a word for instance. Figuring out the links will have to be someone elses job. I also haven't figured out how to add a photo to the profile, but eva has.....

So write a little something and give a little love (especially to the kids, who will really get a kick out of it)....everyone checks to see if anyone left a little message, let's get interactive.

Fabulous new photos from Phyllis and Eva below- love you all, leslie

Heaven at the Hillsboro!

 

 

 

Our cottage is right behind my friend in this picture. 

Hillsboro Club

Carol wanted some info on the cottage I stayed at in Deerfield Beach. Here are some pix from our trip. The cottage looks over the beach. The cottages are more funky than luxurious, but that adds to the charm. There is also a pool. My friends and I rented out the entire small cottage consisting of 4 interlocking rooms. We sat on the deck, drank wine, shot the sh#t and generally had a good time. 

Tom and Eva

This is us in Ecuador, in the andes

Portsmouth and Ann arbor

so, here are a few pictures of my life from the past month. The ones on top are of the front of my house, and my new car, my love, a little saab. And, of my other little love, a toy american eskimo, named nikita, driving the car. Under that is a picture of Liz's street in Ann Arbor, so beautiful. It was a gorgeous day that day, Michigan is great in the springtime.
Then is a pic of a little cove in Portsmouth, taken while driving, from a bridge.
Next, a flower bed warehouse that Tom and I snuck into while looking for vegetables for our garden,
and finally, my adorable nephew before school, he wanted me to be sure to get the tulips in the background. Hope everyone is well, love you all!!!

This was taken last August in Florida. We were staying at a oceanfront cottage in Deerfield Beach. I would have stayed forever, but my skin wouldn't allow it! 

Do Peacocks make good pets?

This peacock at the zoo actually let Nolan pet him. Of course Nolan then wanted to take him home! 

The sisters and Uncle Jim at CityPlace in WPB

Nolan took this photo on our recent trip to Florida. We had lunch at Legal Seafoods. I later took Nolan to the WPB Zoo.
