I choose Happiness

Halloween is so fun to me.  I love seeing people decorate their yards and houses.  It brings out the creative side of people.   It is the one day of the year that you can dress up and pretend to be someone else.  I love seeing other peoples costumes and why they chose to be that person, there is always a reason. In the past (as an adult) I have been a butterfly, a witch, Bat-girl but my favorite costume is a zombie. I love getting all creeped out and watching peoples reaction of me.
Life really is all about chooses. I choose to be happy.... and creative and adventurous and loving and grateful.  Isn't that what life is all about, just be happy.

This are from a couple years ago.  One of my favorite memory of this year is when a 3 year old came up to me (he knew me) and said Miss Debbie you are really dirty.  LOL, he was not scared at all.

Happiness is...... the Beach

I love the beach, always have always will.  Everything about it, the warmth the sun shines on me, the salty air, the sand between my toes.  I love to hear the sound of the waves crashing, sea gulls cry and children having fun.
Every time I go to the beach I always bring home shells that I find interesting.  It always amazes me that I am drawn to a certain kind of different shell each time I go shell collecting.  

Florida and Chocolate Do Not Play Well Together

Orange on Top

My POTD prompt is food (toppings/frosting/dessert).  I saw these on Pintrest and knew my granddaughter would love them, they do have candy corn, chocolate and pretzels after all.  Well my best lighting is outside in the garage with the door open.  It is still pretty hot in Florida.  As you can see in the picture the bowl and candies have little moisture drops on them from difference of being in the fridge and now outside.  

But that will not stop her from eating them.  

I'm Not Scared!!!!

Baby Savannah's First Halloween

Look~ I look like the scary ghost!!!

A little Halloween fun. 

 Decorating the house with the older grandchild and having an imprompt photo session with the baby.  

Three Forms of Candy Corn

Candy Corn is oh so sweet.  It makes a great fall time treat.
So smooth with yellow, orange and white, I want more with every bite.
So eat them now while they are still here, they won't be back till next year.

Siesta Key Photo Walk

 I went for a photo walk with a good friend of mine who loves taking photos as well.  She took me down a few side streets of Siesta Key that I have never been down.  I kinda feel silly admitting that.  But it is true, I have always stayed to the main street of the village.  I was so happy to find all sorts of colors in the signs, the houses and also found a quiet little beach.

                                                          Dolphins on the Key

                                                                  I love signs!!!!

                                                                         A quiet oasis

                                   The sign reads:  The average dog is nicer than the average person.

                                                 another sign.... this one  is so much fun!!

                                        And who wouldn't want to sit by this pool!!!!!

                                                           Colors on the beach

                                                        What is left of an old pier

                                                                Kayaks anyone??


A few colorful houses............

The best ice cream on the island..........

Hello Fall

I took a walk today and noticed (for Florida) that the fall colors are coming.  I have to look pretty hard as I am from Massachusetts and Florida fall is NOTHING compared to Mass.  But the weather is a little cooler, in the low 90*'s and there is a slight breeze, it is a refreshing break from the 100* and almost 100% humidity.
I love the leaf's, they look like hearts!!
Bring on pumpkins, scarecrows, witches and bats!!!
