Hurricane Irma Evacuation Day 2

It was a beautiful day at Lakepoint Resort State Park.

Google & Stella hung out at the campground while we organized everything in the van.

Afterwards, we drove around Eufaula & took lots of pix of cool old stuff ...

This old yield sign is no longer red.

When we got back to Lakepoint, we took the pups for a walk down to the marina.

Google passed out when we got back to the cabin.

Hurricane Irma Prep & Evacuation

Mary helped me prep the house before evacuating the beach.

We taped up dropcloths over all of the doors & piled bags of mulch on them.

Bound for a cabin at Lakepoint Resort State Park in Eufaula, AL. Mary drove, Google got shotgun & Stella & I were in the backseat. My mom & Hank got a head start while we were prepping the house.

I can't pass by old hotel signs without taking a pic.

New Winn Dixie

Mary wanted me to see the new Winn Dixie on Baymeadows. I wasn't sure why. I figured if you've seen one supermarket, you've seen them all. Once we stepped inside I could see it was special ... beautiful design.

Fresh mini donuts ... made while you wait. Yum!

Giant Grasshoppers

It's giant grasshopper season in Mary & Google's backyard.

According to Google, they're delicious! Thanks for the pic, Mary!

Giant Mushrooms

7 giant mushrooms popped up in the backyard overnight. I hate mushrooms ... luckily, so does Stella.

Panera on a Weekday

I took the day off from work to get some estimates so it was the perfect opportunity to take Stella out for breakfast. She's used to sleeping in on weekdays so she was yawning a lot.

Stella the Photographer

Tracy bought Stella a camera squeaky toy. I wouldn't let her play with it until she posed for a portrait.

Stella got her first camera from Scott & Sue on the day she moved in.

45 Records

Mike brought a turntable & some 45s to the office today.

BOGO

I've been waiting for Dove Dark Chocolate covered Raspberry Sorbet bars to be BOGO. It seems like it's been a year since the last sale. This pic is of my first 8 of 16 boxes I bought this week. I brought 4 boxes to the office & everyone loved them.

Luckily, I didn't lose any during the Hurricane Irma (my quarter didn't sink). I did lose 8 boxes I bought for Mary's house. She lost power for several days.

Pups on 18

We had a great shoot at TPC Sawgrass today. This coming Saturday is National Dog Day so we wanted to help local charity TARAA (The Animal Rescue & Adoption Agency, Inc.) promote upcoming adoptions.

These puppies are so sweet! #nationaldogday #adoptdontshop #TARAA

Check out this video from our shoot on THE PLAYERS Facebook page.

How cute is this?!? 

Oops!

It wasn't easy to get this shot ...

Here's how we did it ... ready ... set ...

GO!

After the shoot, Michela, Evanne & I got to pose with the supermodels.

Evanne looks sooooo happy! I think she needs a puppy!

Laura got in close for a portrait.

We couldn't have done the shoot without our helpful puppy wranglers
