Happy 90th

We have returned from Florida and a successful move. The drive down with the trailer was arduous. While we were filling the trailer we realized it had a flat tire. Of course U-Haul was closed so Tom pumped it up hoping it would hold air and it did pretty well. It rained the entire day during the drive and on three occasions we had traffic jams for accidents; some of them as long as an hour. So after leaving about 7am we finally arrived about 10:45pm. Loooong day! After arriving we had to unload so we would have something to sleep on. So most of his stuff went into his garage and we moved the couch to his apartment so we could sleep on it. Saturday we moved things in and put them away and shopped for things he needed including new mattresses. While we still had the U-Haul we picked up his mattresses to save the delivery fee and then turned in the U-Haul. Dinner that night was at The Fish House on the bay. Sunday we visited the Naval Aviation Museum. What a wonderful museum and it's free. We also went up into the lighthouse. We could see the Blue Angel jets on the runway from the lighthouse as well as mile of coastline. And then we had dinner at Flounders and saw the sunset on the beach. But we didn't stay long because it was cold and windy. It never got above 50 while we were there and there was a constant cold wind. Needless to say there was no swimming or shorts. We drove home on Monday. Our plan had been to stay in Nashville, TN and see a show at the Opry but they were closed on Monday so we just continued on home. Started at 7:30 am and made it home by 8pm. Much better than the trip down but still a long day. Glad to be home. I did go back to work today for one day but now I am off until next Tuesday with another trip on the horizon to see Tom's family this weekend.

My card tonight is for a family celebration this weekend. Tom's aunt will be celebrating her 90th birthday in December and we are going to a party for her on Sunday. So this is the card I made for the occasion.

The image and designer paper is from Doodle Pantry. I used Spellbinders Labels 13 for the Happy 90th tag. And I added the red Stickles around the Label and into some of the background flowers. And the red ribbon with a knot completes the card. The 90 is cut from a Cuttlebug die that probably came with my Cuttlebug machine. I am entering these challenges:

Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch

Seize the Birthday: welcome twins: use 2 of something (used 90 twice and 2 label dies)

Outlawz Saturday: use dies or punches

Simon Says: anything goes

Thanks for stopping by today. It didn't make it above freezing today here so I hope it's warmer where you are. To all my U.S. friends I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Our day will be quiet; just Tom and I and I'll be thinking about all the things I am thankful for. I am so blessed! I hope you are too.
