Rest and Relaxation






Gommy and Grandpa Mike had a very nice time at a beautiful resort this weekend. It is Pelican Grand Hotel & Resort in Fort Lauderdale. If anyone is looking to have a 'stay-cation', this is the place.....It is like a 'mini-Grand' as in the Grand Hotel in Mackinac Island, Michigan. The staff is so gracious and friendly that you think you are back in the old days when it was mandatory to treat the customer as if they were actually welcomed.....What a concept!!!
With the economy being what it is, more people are opting for 'stay-cations' and Gommy and Grandpa Mike are sure glad they live in paradise already.... our 'stay-cation' is very easy to take....When the time came to check out of the resort, Gommy made a comment that it was time to get back to 'reality'....but after thinking about it for a minute.....Gommy realized that her and Grandpas' 'reality' is pretty nice too!!! It is not too hard to come back to our reality.....thank you God....
Everyone needs to take a break sometimes. It recharges the old batteries, so to speak! It also allows you to take a look at how much you have been keeping your nose to the grindstone lately and realize that you must take a breath and take time to smell the roses, coffee or whatever it is that you like to smell....ha,ha!
Our daughter and little grands came to visit for lunch and a swim in the lazy river and pool. Samantha shared a milkshake with Grandpa too. How special is that? Rest, relaxation and being with family while you are enjoying yourself......
So, Gommy sincerely hopes all you blog-friends out there get to recharge your batteries when you need to. It sure does make you feel refreshed and ready to go some more.....
