So cute I can barely stand it

 

WooHoo- I edited for myself!!!

*** UPDATE****
Dennis informed me AFTER I made this post that he did not like the second one because it was too dark!

I happen to prefer darker photos myself, but I was wondering what you all thought- - leave a comment and let me know!! (You can leave a comment under anonymous, but just tell me who you are within the post!)

Hey- -

I downloaded a free month of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and I practiced with this photo. I deleted the water bottle from Jakes hand and then potato chips from the other hand, and then played with the levels in the photo! I am pretty proud even though it is not perfect, Im still happy!!!

More Photos from Vacation

 

I did not have a chance to include some more of the photos from our vacation.. so I thought that I would share our last day with you. We rode together to the square in a golf cart.   Even still we think its a pretty amazing thing, the way this “retirement” community is set up.  Dennis thought that it would be a good idea to take a picture of the little golf cart tunnel….  we thought that it was cool that as were going underneath, a golf cart came straight across.. it was not planned…. Dennis loves this little restaurant there, that is where he gets his black and white cookies! So, we parked the golf cart, and we had dinner. I love this lighthouse- there is a restaurant right near it that sounds pretty fun! As I was taking pictures of this sunset, I noticed that I had a nice silhouette of these people! I walked up to them and got their email address so I could email it to them!    We had a nice time, and I am glad to be home. Really really glad.

Goodbye Vacation…

By the time most of you are reading this, Dennis and I will be on our way back home! We are leaving here at 7:00 a.m. and will arrive home around 7:00 p.m. (Dennis would say 5:30- but I think I am going to make him stop and sit down for lunch)

So, we are saying our goodbyes to clear beach water, powdery sand, golf cart traveling, all you can eat Lobster and such, pools, sunscreen, and in-laws… Well, some goodbyes are not so bad, right? :)

Just kidding: Mother and Father in law has been very gracious and hospitable to us this week! We are grateful for their location!

So.. hello: cat that bites my ankle, hummus, fruits, veggies, soy milk, church family, pet hair, Kings down his/her mattress, laundry, bible study and job searching…. we are less than 24 hours away!

If the SUN is this beautiful… How beautiful the SON will be.

 

Dennis told me to walk outside to see something this evening, and when I did, I saw this beautiful sunset! I took like 45 pictures, and again, Mr. Canon could not choose his favorite. . :) Enjoy the Florida sun!            

Clearwater Beach.. and time together.

 

Hey there friends & family- - Just an update on our vacation… its great, fun, beautiful, relaxing, and nice to be away!

 We arrived in Clearwater Beach, Florida on Monday morning. We got a hotel room early, and spent the next two days at the beach! It is an awesome beach! It’s clear, and the best thing of all is that the water is very very calm. You can get in the ocean on a float and bring a drink and never get hit by a wave.  On our way………. When we got settled on the beach, we discovered that we had a little visitor. . . I was very very careful with Mr. Canon. He was a little timid to come out with all the sand, but I promised that I would protect his crevices from all the gritty sand, and he agreed to come out and check out the scenery. He loved it, and hardly wanted to nap!!! ;)    This was taken right outside of the hotel we are in!!! I mean, right outside of the pool area, it was beautiful. . (obviously)    my toes……. These girls were dumping sand ALL over them.  

I love this picture of this woman!!! I WISH that the woman in the water behind her was not there. . but she was, and I need to learn how to delete people…. but I love it.

 

Ok, this woman would DIE I am sure if she knew that she appeared on The Maggi Two blog, but, I had to post it because the hot air balloon was just so crystal clear… I had to post it. . .  :)

I thought of Lisa Fernandez when I saw this…. that would have been so sweet of Aaron to drive all the way to Clearwater to leave this message for her. :) Still holding out on delivering that baby for me, Lisa??????

We had a WONDERFUL evening together. We had a nice dinner, and then we walked around to get me another bathing suit, and then we changed back into our swimming suits and spent the new coupe hours swimming in the bath like swimming pool!!! It was so warm, the water did not really aid that much in cooling off!!!

This was a pile of seashells that was sitting on the ledge. . I should have picked them up and brought one to mom, but I found a couple of my own to give her. Shhhh, don’t tell her!!!

 

 

 

Ok, so I have a few “duplicates” because I like them so much that I could not decide what my favorites were. So, you pick yours and let me know!! ;) 

 

    These, two- I could not figure out my favorites. . . I actually played with my camera a little here. . the sunset is actually a bit/a lot brighter, but I messed with a couple settings to get this orangey, warm sunset.

We had so so so much fun. We are back in the villages, and we have plans to go to Orlando tomorrow, and then spend the rest of the week in The Villages. . So, we have nice little tans burns from the SPF 30 UNDER the umbrella!! (Well, atleast I do)

More later, Thanks for checking in!!
