Sunday was a restful day - church then an afternoon of rest at home.
Yesterday, I went to my monthly, ladies - networking lunch / meeting
F.A.B. - Females Advancing Business
and afterward, I picked up Hannah and Sarah to take them shopping.
I introduced Hannah to a store just for girls called Justice a few years ago
and we try to go a couple times a year.
It's a special treat for her - she LOVES picking out new clothes.
This time, I was able to convince Sarah to join us.
Hannah wasn't so sure she wanted her little sister to tag along,
but I assured her it would be ok, and it was.
Hannah hit the racks right away, and started selecting things that caught her eye
but Sarah was more interested in the stuffed animals and pretty jewelry, ha ha ha.
I managed to find a few things that she might like to wear
so we marched into the fitting room with their bundle of clothes.
Hannah ended up with a few tops and some PJs,
and the skort and blouse I found for Sarah fit her perfectly.

She also adopted a cute little (stuffed) poodle dog that went home with us, too.
Then of course we had to grab some Frozen Yogurt from the shop across the street
We had so much fun! Then I took them back home.
Today was weigh in day and I had lost 1.6 pounds.
I was pretty excited about that - whoo HOOT!!!
After weighing in, I met up with a dear friend to spend the rest of the day together.
We drove to Umatila to pick up some organic veggies from an Organic Farm,
then we drove to Eustis to pick up some starter seedlings for our Tower Gardens
(we both grow veggies that way, have you heard of Tower Gardens?)
This is what mine looks like. These two pictures are different stages of development.
We grow lettuces, cucumber, herbs, tomatoes and other veggies in season.
They are delicious and nutritious.

Then we drove to nearby Mount Dora and had lunch at a quaint restaurant.
After lunch we got some delicious Gelato for dessert in one of the downtown shops,
and then we spotted a lovely dress shop that was just next door.
It was called the Secret Garden and looking in through the window,
it looked like a shop you'd find in Paris, France.
It was so beautiful inside - beautiful dresses, hats, and other accessories
full of lace and OH SO Feminine!
My friend had fun trying on a dress that looked like it was straight out of the Great Gatsby Days
but this lovely thing is what caught my eye
and what do you know - it was the perfect size for Miss Abbey Leigh!
I had to get it, after all, she had not been on yesterday's shopping spree with her other two cousins.
Today was such a great day!
It was a much needed day of girlfriend time.
I'm so grateful that The Lord has brought her into my life.
She is helping me get through one of the hardest loses of my life - my mother.
God is so good to us and meets our needs in so many ways.
I'm so very thankful for HIS Goodness and Love!
