Duncan Donuts,farmers markets,Garage sales and roadside finds oh my!!!!

And off we go running again..... geez you would think I was on vacation with no time to spare ,rather than just moved here ...I really need to slow myself down.
We jumped out of bed not expecting to be on the run so fast but with no car of my own yet I have to go with the flow right?
First stop was Duncan donuts drive thru ... Yum I am so happy with a simple jelly donut.... Thank goodness for my Samsung infuse 4 g I can document every step of my day ! it seems to always be in my hand:)
Next stop was the Eau Gallie Farmers Market at  1453 Highland Avenue Melbourne, Florida. It happens every sat 8am to 2pm. It was very small but that worked for me ! I am still overwhelmed by big stores and selections and the prices are so cheap compared to St Thomas I just want to buy everything . I have to continuously remind my self that I am here for good now and this stuff will always be available to me. Brevard Happenings is a great website I found that has a daily calender with activities happening in Brevard county! Check it out!

We were once again off and running this time beachside to check out a few yard sales....I got some warm comfy clothes and a few odds and ends ,then we found a curbside pile of well stuff...... I couldn't resist and grabbed a bulletin board and fought the urge to grab anything else! Another fun filled day in Sunny Florida!

Cold,cat appearences, and a leiserly lunch ...just me and my dog....

We woke up to a 53 degree morning! That was a shock to our Virgin Island systems! Stuey would not get out of bed and I had to put a t-shirt on him to get him out of bed!
I decided he had to get use to his surroundings and took him for a walk to downtown melbourne. It was a nice to have sidewalks to walk him on. I could tell he was getting a little depressed about not going to work and being around different people. We did a little window shopping then stopped in the Molly Mutt ,a thrift store for the human society .....Stuey was so happy he was able to go in the store and visit with the volunteers there. He even got a treat and yes he did his usually belly rub on the carpet!! We Then stopped for lunch at the Sun Shoppe Cafe......Talk about happy ,I got a chicken salad wrap and Stuey had a cup of water! We leisurely sat outside in the sun. You can't beat a coffee shoppe with outside seating ,dogs ,good coffee and internet! Check out reviews about the Sun Shoppe Cafe here..... http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-sun-shoppe-and-cafe-melbourne


A very pleasant afternoon was had by all ......

Beachside, Sand on the Beach, Moonrise, Moonshine, Supermarkets and fire, oh my

Thursday night...who knew, it could be such a exciting night. I spent the evening with good friends, good drinks and food
and of course the moon.



                                                    



. Sand on the beach is a great place to do all of those things. I love the beach, I love the smell of the ocean, the sound of the waves, the smell of the seaweed that has washed ashore. I don't necessarily like going in the ocean more than say to my knees,but I could sit on the beach for hours and just enjoy the view.
  Shortly after the moon had risen..... we were off and running to the Oasis, for a good memory or two ........
you can click here to see some reviews about the good ol Oasis, I sure am glad that some things don't change to much!!

After the shots we decieded we should be responsible adults.....huh...... we were off once again to\
   Melbourne beach supermarket, my market of choice when I lived here before, and not just cause I could ride
my bike here .............I was totally amazed about the pricing and very happy to see I could get everything I needed
in one stop by the beach!


It was then time to go home and make kabobs on our kapan and sit by the fire in the backyard with a glass of wine. Oh but first one more stop at Davids Steak and Seafood in Melbourne beach. I couldn't resist going in and saying hello to a few more familar faces.... very nice to know that I was remembered here from my bartending days..... So far this coming home thing is ok!

Arrival night....settling in time

The sky was getting dark and the clouds even darker as we rolled into Melbourne.
 The first thing I had to do, even though I was very anxious to find J's house,was a quick stop at Pet Smart.

 I loaded the cat in the carrier in a cart, grabbed Stuey and did a marathon run around the store. Stuey was very overwhelmed and happy to see other dogs and people. A fast $80.00 later and a treat for Stu we were off to find our new house!

After unpacking the car and getting the animals situated Roommate no. 1 arrived as we spent time getting acquainted
Stuey and his new friend Jake had a long puppy play in the fenced in back yard. I think Stuey was in heaven.
A short time later my friend and next roommate arrived home with some wine and the reminiscing  began.

It is very nice to be home in Melbourne beach , I am so lucky to have such good friends to help me out like this and I am very excited to see what is to come in the future!

Things, they are a changin...... Atleast for me!

So you may of noticed I have been slacking here for a while. Well there is a reason, I have moved back to Florida this past week. After weeks of packing and planning we are finally here. As you can guess it was a slow , long, stressful process and now I am here to recycle my life into something different. What, I do not know!
 What I do know is that Paradise Snapshots is gonna slowly get back up and running with different scenic views! Get ready for some some Florida paradise snapshots taken with ..... what else....... my Samsung Infuse camera phone! I am excited how about you ?
 First here are some shots from the move itself.....

Stuey helping me pack the most important things!

The last drive down the hill.....
