Hi friends, it's been a while! I've been on vacation the last week and was almost completely unplugged (loved it), and the week prior I was busy wrapping things up at the office in anticipation of the time off. The Husband and I enjoyed some much needed downtime and were happy as clams all week.😊

The Husband was honored at an event the week prior to vacation and I have to take a moment to brag on him. For those who don't know, Robert served 20 years in the U.S. Navy and after retirement started a new career in the finance world, retiring (again) after 23 years. Since then he has volunteered his time and expertise at the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. Two days a week he works as a caseworker, providing financial assistance (both interest-free loans and grants) to active duty and retired servicemembers. He was honored for his volunteer leadership and was presented with The President's Volunteer Service Award, including a letter signed by President Biden. I simply could not be more proud of him and the selfless help he provides.

And in hockey news (come on, it's the Stanley Cup playoffs, you know I've gotta squeal and flail and my Tampa Lightning), the guys did it again! They made a clean sweep of Round Two and beat the Florida Panthers four games in a row. So exciting to watch - and yes I tuned in while on vacation! :) Another step closer to the Stanley Cup... looking for a threepeat!

I was tempted to play Queen's "We Are the Champions" for this week's 80's music fix, but I think I'll save that for when they win the Cup. :) Instead, how about we stick with Queen and tell it like it is... Another One Bites the Dust (buh-bye, Panthers). LOL

Every trip to Orlando means a stop at one of my favorite Barnes & Noble locations. I'm not even sure what makes that one better than any others (maybe because I just tie it to vacation and good times) but I hit it up every time I'm there. I was so surprised to find several by Mariana Zapata on the shelf! I don't think I've ever seen her books in stores before. Naturally, I couldn't leave without a couple in hand. :)
