And I say…It’s alright! After 2 days of dark, wet and windy weather, I welcome the sun today with open arms. We are having unseasonably rainy and cooler temperatures here in Florida. May is usually hot. Just hot. But the rains have started early. I just hope this isn’t a premonition for Hurricane Season. Let me worship the sun while I can!

Combing through the masses of photos, I found this gem the other day. I remember the day very well. I was on vacation with my husband and we stopped at an outlet mall. The buildings were typical and a bit run down. It was an older mall, but there was a store my husband wanted to go into.
