It's been almost a month since I came home from Florida, but the memories are still warm. :) As I mentioned in the earlier post, I went to Florida to surprise my friend Kimberley for her 40th birthday. I arrived on the 21st, her actual birthday and then her husband pulled out all the stops on Friday of the next week with a surprise party that included five other friends from out of state! It was quite a joyful time! My friend Kimberley is the most extroverted person I know, which makes close friends surprising her even more meaningful.
The week began with my friend Brendan picking me up from the airport. He was kind enough to drive me down to Kim and Henk's to surprise her and have dinner. Here he is showing his true feelings in his very stylish apartment.

Kim teaches dance. Here she is with her level 1 ballet class.


And this face is priceless. We all have those days. :)

Henk is a talented artist and photographer. Here he is teaching a class in his home.


Here is a watercolor he made for Kimberley's birthday.

And they have two gorgeous children: L and A on this blog!






These children know how to eat their veggies! :) Before the dreadful frost that Florida got in January, their grandparents, who live right next door, had a thriving garden. L and A enjoyed eating the remaining broccoli off the bush!


And here are some photos from the amazing surprise dinner that Henk threw! What an artist he is!
Kim and kids waiting for Henk to come pick us up for the surprise! :)







L had too much party.

And what Florida trip would be complete with a beach trip!?
Anne ( a good friend of Kimberley's from Kansas City dancing days) was one of the highlights of the series of surprises!







Dancers unite!
