The weather has been in the 80's since Saturday and sunny everyday, except for a brief thunderstorm yesterday morning. What a great trip we are having!!! You and Andrew would really enjoy it -all the gardens are spectacular, especially the private one (nursery owner) we toured last night by special invitation after the meetings and my Pink Days In Bloom presentation! Windmill Island Gardens in Holland was also a treat - your mom would appreciate that - got me some real wooden shoes! lol The beaches are spectacular here!!! Catch up with you soon. Have a great day! That dessert is making me hungry....XO<br />Linda at Beautiful Ideas Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487070786883019979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-30509544034798711202013-06-26T07:30:42.455-03:002013-06-26T07:30:42.455-03:00Dear Carolyn,
