The 3 Sisters, Joan-Cly and Eva


Eva, Dee and Cly

I just got back from a visit to see Dee in Cape Coral, FL. This was a trip that turned out to be a gathering of my 2 sisters and I. Dee kept saying, " I wish you could talk Cly and Eva into coming down too", well I did and I told Dee, be careful what you wish for :)
We all arrived on the same day, or we were supposed to, my flight went all over the place and I ended up in Orlando instead of Ft. Myers and I got to stay at the Hyatt Airport Hotel on Southwest Airlines. A friend of Dee's was in Orlando for a convention and she and her husband drove me to Dee's the next day.
We "girls" visited, swam and generally enjoyed the Hoffman hospitality for a week. I must say we had a bunch of laughs, a LOT of shopping and some beautiful sightseeing tours, all courtesy of the Hoffmans.
Eva, better known as Cinderella, did some awesome altering on some of our bargains, Cly had a blast finding things to ship home, and I caught a cold that settled in my ears and deafened me for the trip home.
We filled up all their bedrooms and I do believe Tom was very happy to see us leave. He loves us, I know, but his home was inundated with 3 extra women and and all their accouterments-- any man is up for sainthood for that alone! :)
Poor Cly got the crappy trip award on the return flight, hers was delayed 2-3 hours...she got to spend time in the airport....waiting!
As of right now, we are all home safe and sound, Cly-really tired, Joan-can't hear in one ear, Eva-tired but otherwise fine! We all enjoyed the trip, and we thank Dee for giving us the space for a Sister thing that is hard to come by.
I am anxious to go see the Grand boys, I missed them!
