Ok, Back to Every Day Stuff



The conference is over and it is back to everyday stuff. Since I've been back I took advantage of the 'calm after the storm' and put out my flotilla newsletter. It is a monthly and today is the 30th, so it was due! Fortunately, a lot of our flotilla members attended the conference so I had lots of photos to include.

I still don't have a photo of me receiving the national publications award, but the above photo was taken at the conference. The lovely young lady beside me is my son's widow, Annie, who drove up from Coco Beach to share the evening with me. Unfortunatley, this year they changed the order of presentations and I received the award in the afternoon rather than at the banquet, but that picture, when I get it, will be of me in uniform.

I love Annie to pieces. We stay in touch and I love seeing her. I know why Tod loved her. She is a truly wonderful and warm woman.

I have a newsletter to complete for VSA and then I am going to do some painting.Oh, I miss painting! Really need to get back to that. I have a lot of posts to catch uip on too!

Dottie, you look like mother and daughter. I was struck by the the likeness. You both look great in your finery.

I will have to tell her that you said that! Yes, we had a great time. I don't own a dinner dress white uniform (what everyone else wears) and prefer to simply dress up. For one night at least, I can feel feminine and attractive.

Nice picture, Dottie, I'm glad you had a good conference. I'm looking forward to seeing your next painting.

So am I! My easel almost feels foreign to me. Sad, huh?

Yeas, I will post that picture too when someone sends me one.

Great photo! Both of you look so nice all dressed up. You have the loveliest dimples. Make your whole face look as though it is happy. So nice the two of you have stayed close. I know that means a lot to both of you.

I love her dearly. She is truly a wonderful woman.

What a lovely picture. It is easy to tell that you are both having a wonderful time!
It is so nice that the two of you are able to share your love of Tod that way. In a way, it helps keep him with each of you.

I hope our relationship is strong enough to survive a new permanent man in her life- when she gets one. She just started dating again.
