It was a busy fun-filled weekend! My daughter's junior prom (yes I had to take out the island girl braids from my hair as per her request that I look more like a mom haha) and Mother's Day hike and brunch in Naples. Life is good! I even had the pleasure of meeting a loyal and dedicated FLC subscriber Friday night after Sam's Lax game and got a pic with her :) Then Saturday when we picked up the prom flowers at Rockcastle, the owner yelled out to me "Blue Skies"! Ahhhhh....We truly are all connected and it makes life so sweet!

Blue Skies,
