I had a great day today! The day started by going to the cutest quilt shop! My MIL wanted to buy a panel to make a lap-sized quilt for me for Christmas. I love the charm and whimsy of Mary Englebreit. Mary has a new quilt for Christmas that was previewed in her Home Companion magazine. My MIL is great at quilting and I am so touched that she is eager to spend the time making this quilt for me. I am so excited!!
Around 3pm this afternoon, I took my Goddaughter, Whitney, on a little excursion - just the two of us. Whitney is leaving very soon for college, The University of Central Florida, and I wanted us to spend some time together before she leaves. First we went shopping in downtown Stuart. They have the cutest shops there and I was so wrapped up in shopping that I forgot to take any pictures there. The best little shop there with the most unique things is called April Daze. It was lots of fun and we both got some really cute things, which I may share tomorrow. Next we went to the Roosevelt Bridge and walked around under the bridge for awhile. It was so beautiful.
It was so peaceful and relaxing there and quite breezy too.
There were several people fishing and many just sitting around relaxing and enjoying the view.
Then we went to the Crab House in Jupiter. We had a delicious dinner of crab dip, coconut shrimp and a yummy salad. We snapped some pictures of the Jupiter Lighthouse.
Here is a picture of my beautiful Goddaughter who will soon be leaving us for UCF. Boo Hoo!!
Here is the waterfront side of The Crab House.
We caught a beautiful sunset.
It was a wonderful day that I will always remember. Thanks Whitney for such a great time!!

Joyce, my sweet angel, what a sweet thing to do for Whitney!! I'd love to do that for someone someday.

Joyce, I am still trying to catch up with those who left comments last week. I was surprised when you mentioned Stuart and The Crab House in Jupiter. I lived in Jupiter out in the farms. We loved it there. A job change moved us to Kissimmee and retirement moved us to The NC Smokey Mtns. We love it here. Have you ever ordered the lighthouse dessert at the Crab House. Yum!
Your day with your Goddaughter was so nice. I enjoyed th photos and yes, Whitney is beautiful.
Take care, Jeanne
Joyce, you are too kind. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and the lovely compliment about my blog set up. Actually, I LOVE your header. I even showed it to my daughter and she agreed that the upside down daisy is very unusual and beautiful. It's very distinctive. I love it.
