Another lovely day. This time, we were in Dunedin for a couple of hours. We walked down to the marina, had lunch in a fantastic Mexican restaurant, pushed Little Z around in his stroller while we walked through the outdoor market. Don bought this bracelet for me. It’s made of Palm Ivory, which comes from palm nuts. It’s the sustainable replacement for Elephant Ivory. It’s even used for piano keys. I fell in love with the colors on this particular bracelet. I also loved one that was in red, so Mere is going to go back and get it for me sometime.
Little Z keeps us on our toes, making us go through ‘fire drills’ and all sorts of adventures. I can’t help but laugh, and that’s good medicine. He’s a great kid, as are all my nephews, including my furry nephew, Max.
Having a good time.
Happy Sunday.
It looks like you all are having a fun and relaxing time. I think you both needed this. Have fun and enjoy!
Little Z sounds like so much fun. Glad you and Don are having a nice time. Love your bracelet. Did you hurt your hand?
I love your hat! Looks great on you. I’m having a vicarious vacation through your posts, so thanks, I needed that. A great thing for you, family and sun.
From your post from a few days ago about blogs only posting photos from other blogs: yes! I’m noticing that more now, and deleting blogs that I used to follow, because what’s the point of doing that. It does seem a short-cut to actually writing something…
Have fun!
Yay! I am loving these posts. Yes indeed. Children are wonderful medicine.
Blessings,
Betsy
Looks like you are having a blast! Love the hat, bracelet, and all the smiles.
I agree with Betsy, children are wonderful medicine. Don and you look so happy and relaxed. I am so happy for you. Doris
The two of you look so happy….relaxed and carefree! I’m sure it’s a combination of Little Z and all that sea air! Love the hat! ;)
It looks like Little Z , family and the ocean are working their magic on you and Don. Such happy smiles and you both look more relaxed. I find I’m feeling better and moving forward a bit more. I love that bracelet, the colors are so pretty. Enjoy each day and oh the games a 4 yr old can come up with (I sat on Easter eggs and hatched them into chicks this week with Tiger).
Big Hugs,
Linda
Little Z is a handsome little fellow :-) Kids ARE the best medicine!!!
I love your hat! :-)
Seems the trip was the perfect medicine you needed and it came at just the right time. It is so great when that happens!! Glad you are enjoying the sea and the sun and your family. I bet Meredith is so happy you are there as well.
Have fun!!
You look like you are having fun, nice bracelet. Tell Don ” nice knees”.
I’m so happy for you!
So glad to see you and Don enjoying the beautiful state of Florida. I think you really needed the relaxing time you are having. I know LB is enjoying your visit so much. Have a great time!

Great post again! Love the happiness radiating through these photos. The fire drill, perfect, I used to do this and garbage pick ups, camp fires and all sorts of games with the grandkids. So ralaxing and good learning experiences!
Claudia, it makes me glad that I can hear through your words and photos how happy and relaxed you are. Keep the laughter going…
It’s so good to see you and Don enjoying yourselves. Being around a small child and seeing life through their eyes can sure improve your perception of things. I keep wondering if one of your readers or one of Don’s fans will recognize one of you while you’re on vacation. I love your hat and the bracelet is beautiful.
I am enjoying your vacation so much!!
Family, laughing, and strolling through new towns is the best medicine. You all look happy and relaxed. Claudia, sometimes you comment you have put on weight but you look terrific. I need to follow your diet! Also, I enjoy these posts. Patty Mc
A happy post; made me feel good for you; glad you’re having a great time. LOVE your hat; LOVE the bracelet! The photos are such a change from your usual surroundings; happy that you’re taking us readers along for the ride.
I am so glad you two are having a good time. And don’t you look pretty! I love your hat, earrings and that wonderful new bracelet. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Fun in the sun with people that you love can be the Best therapy for all! Glad to see that you are together with your family and especially Little Z , Claudia- and that Don is there as well; sharing both the time and the good weather with you and yours. :))
Claudia, I am smiling looking at the smiles on you and Don and am loving the pictures of Little Z and Max. And that bracelet… Gorgeous!
I think the water is one of the best places to heal, and I’m thrilled that you get to enjoy it with your family. I miss mine terribly so I know what those moments spent together mean. Enjoy yourselves and each other! :-)

If you head down to St. Pete, stop in Mazarro’s Market…it’s a real experience! Also, Sand Key Beach just a little south of Clearwater Beach is our very favorite. Enjoy!
Looks like you’re having a great time…Little Z is so cute! I have a couple of smaller bracelets made from palm ivory, too.
