A couple of weeks ago, in between all my travels out of town, a tornado hit a few miles from where I live. It was really weird seeing the twister reaching down from the sky and later learning how much destruction it had done in just a few minutes of time. In the blink of an eye, our paths can quickly change just as this twister did.
This past month has been full of travels, of which one I had never visited before. Normally I am not into the hoity toity but since it was a convention that my husband had to go to, I figured one of us would have fun. With day spas and restaurants on every corner, Boca Raton offered very little for those who did not want to foolishly throw away money. Although I did get to see a Lamborghini which is not something one sees everyday!
The beach offered a poor man's spa; beautifully fine cocoa sand which my feet snuggled into with every step. 
Also, one night we stumbled upon an cozy Irish pub in Mizner park, The Dubliner. Most of the patrons were too busy boozing it up to truly enjoy the songs of Joe Dougherty. But Joe looked like he enjoyed what he was doing so much that he didn't seem to care. He strummed his guitar singing a song favorite of mine, "Brown Eyed Girl".
Marshmallows – Hot cocoa just isn’t the same without marshmallows. Not sure why since all they seem to do is add more sugar to an already sweet drink. Maybe it is the gooey factor or possibly the elusion of warmth from watching them melt as you sip on the hot steamy drink. If nothing else, it is
a reminder to be a kid at heart and to enjoy the simple things that life brings us.
