The first thing I had to do when I got home (other than a shout out to my parents) was to go to Wildside Cafe for my morning coffee!!! Although Flagstaff's Macy's was da bomb, there's nothing like the hometown smiles of my peeps at Wildside Cafe! Kristina rocks!
Other than my morning routine with my parents, my brother stopped in and that was nice for just the four of us to visit. Growing up we were always together. My parents never did anything or went anywhere where my brother and I couldn't go.... sometimes we wished they would so we could do things our friends were doing - you know slumber parties, bowling, the beach... OB and I travelled and worked on most weekends.... If it wasn't for sports and pow wows we would have had no social life. I totally appreciate that now that I'm a parent and wish that my children had that same way of life. It absolutely contributed to my life today. My parents instilled a sense of home, a sense of family and a sense of purpose in my brother and I.
I call Naples, Florida my home and it is amazingly beautiful to me. Although I appreciate being in other people's hometowns I love my home...and....I'm never here enough to not appreciate it...grrr..... HELLO NAPLES, FLORIDA!!!!

Welcome back Tina. I will be there next weekend and cannot wait to call Naples my home again!
