Can you box that up and send it to me? I could use some margaritas on the dock.
LOVE that photo!
A wonderful summer scene with your parents - those glasses are so cool and the drinks look yummy!

Mmmmmm! I want to be there!!! Great pic of Mom and Dad! They definitely look relaxed! Just what vacation is all about!
Sweet glass!
Looks like fun...the drinks and the kayak!
Mary
Love the photos.
Thanks for the comments everybody - I'll be moving a little slowly in blogworld the next couple weeks. I want to spend as much time with my mom and dad as I can!
My parents brought me the marg glasses from Mexico - I love them! Mark took the photos for me - thinking he did a pretty good job! I will have flowers blooming - so you'll still see a post now and then. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment - I love to hear from all of you!
Tracy - thanks for tagging me - my first time - but I'll have to see when I can work it in :(
Yours was great!
Myutopia - thanks for visiting - just checked out your blog - I'll be checking in again!
That drink does look good - especially by the lake!
