Patricia came to visit and help with Mom’s house. She forgot socks so she wore a “pair” of mine. We later ended up at Five Guys after we were too late to get SoFresh. 🙁

Art Museum, Sushi, and Mandola’s
Meg and I headed out to St. Pete to check out the art museum, and then we got sushi at a restaurant called Lemongrass, and then we went shopping and had dinner at Mandola’s. It was a very cold day so we huddled in our Comfy wearable blankets after!

Meghan’s birthday present
I was gonna wait and surprise her on her birthday but as soon as she said her feet were cold and she wished she’d brought her slippers, I knew I had to give her her birthday gift early. Warm Meg!

Casting Day
My mother’s ashes were committed to the Eternal Reefs project. My family attended the casting where we put her ashes into a solution to make a “pearl” and also decorated the collar of the reef ball.
