Pierre's Kids and Yolande's Kids play outside

JJ shows off his green umbrella, when only minutes before by the fence he was shy and had to be coaxed out by the girls while my Andy and my Cory stop to pose for the camera with one of Yolande's nephews who was so happy the boys came over to play outside.

Thanksgiving with Yolande's Family

All the girl's get ready to eat after the prayer.

Evans showed off his beautiful artwork that he has been working on in college. I got to meet Yolande's husband, daughters, her mother and step-father, her aunt, nieces and nephews, and of course Evans, her brother who I know from work. Pierre came to visit from across the street with Andy, Cory, Sophie and Junior. Evans took a photo of me an my Alexandra, who will call sometimes if she has a question about homework. It was a wonderful meal and a remarkable family.

Waves at Indian Rocks Beach. Sweet.

Beautifl Indian Rocks beach on my Birthday

Today is my 43rd Birthday

Crabby Bill's Dining Room.

My Delicious Breakfast of ham and eggs from Crabby Bill's and my delicious dinner cooked by me, the steak and vegetables are compliments of Olimpica Market in Lutz, Florida that has specialty foods from Columbia and Central America, fresh produce and meats from local farmers. Yes that is queso blanco in the salad.

My Birthday dinner of beef steak with sauteed mushrooms and red onions, black beans with white cheese, a salad of cucumber, tomatoes, and queso blanco with a herb raita sauce.

These are some of the presents I gave myself including a lovely day at the beach which will be in my next post. I had the best time. The food was great and so was the view.
