My dd and dsil got me my own "dirt devil" or as they call it - the bugcatcher -
as they've told me - I will find critters here in Florida that might
not have been seen in my Buffalo house ;-)

My grand daughter got me a water bottle to take with me over to theExercise Room at the Waters Edge Club House

a Chocolate colored shirt for my Day too.
I am finally staying in my new home full time.

Over the past weekend the family drove over to the other side of Florida to Cape Kennedy and watched the Launch of the Space Shuttle ATLANTIS on Friday May 14.
There are only going to be 2 more Shuttles ever launched,
so we wanted to be able to say we saw at least "one" up close (or as close as us folks who want "free" looks can get)
We found a nice spot along the water directly across (about 12 miles away)
from the Launch tower.
The Experience was AWESOME!!!.

Kids brought Flat Stanley to view the Launch
We had a great viewwhen Atlantis - Blasted Off
The Power of the ZOOM lens on my son in law's camera
After the launch, we had a picnic lunch/dinner and then drove about an hour or so away to Vero Beach and visited with my Dad and his wife in their new digs - an assisted living facility in Vero Beach...Very nice visit and looks like a good place for them that will meet all their needs.

Last night (Tuesday) I went to my grandson's Spring Band Concert -
he plays the Trumpet in the "Beginner band" -
All the kids did great and it was an enjoyable evening here in warm Florida.
