Haines City is the place I loved living the most (other than our home in TN we purchased in '07). I miss driving around H.C. and Lake Wales trying to find who had the best Mint Choco Chip ice cream and waiting for Ben on the weekends at LWMC. After which we would head to Perkins or IHOP for big C.F. Steaks! The week was our weekend we loved spending it at the AllStar Grill their food was great and they only had 4,000 tvs and every football game going. I spent the real weekend doing a lot of reflecting and finding myself learning to become an adult, I wanted to catch up to my fossilized husband; I will always be young when you compare us both ;). Seriously though he makes a great fossil and when he wasn't beat from work we were walking or working out. In some ways I am sad those days are gone and are now focusing on much more serious matters, yet still glad that I have those things engraven in me. I don't know if it's nostalgia having been our first place together or being on the 3rd shift, downing chocolate Atkins shakes, 12 packs of Mountain Dew and Clif bars, either way I loved it.

Sadly it's been almost ten years since Evelyn Baltich my grandmother passed away. Of course she left this world a better and more beautiful place, but it's still not quite as wonderful as it once was when she was here with her grace.
