The World According to Jeannette
My husband, my children, my family, my friends, work, my time alone with Jim, vanilla ice cream, traveling, talking to my mom, laughing with my children, chatting with dad, having lunch with friends, memories of childhood, my relationship with my siblings Carlos and Martha, Friday nights at home, my time alone with my daughter, playing with my son, ……and trying always to keep in mind what I read once:

Congratulations to my beloved Gators on their 3rd National Championship Title! Wow they defeated Oklahoma 24-14 last night, to become the first school to win two BCS national titles in the span of three seasons. Our Coach Urban Meyer also became the first coach to lead his team to two BCS championships!!!
Continue reading “Gators Triple Crowned”Whew…holidays are over! Now I go into my usual ‘holiday blues’ period. You have to understand; I love Holidays, Christmas songs, sweaters, the smell of fresh baked apple pie, and that gentle chill weather that seems to last about 3 minutes in Florida!…I spend the whole Fall season waiting for the Holidays and once it gets here-it’s gone in a second!
