A sister is a forever friend. ~Author Unknown

Spending the week in Florida with my 4 sisters and my Mom was incredible.  My Mom recently bought a condo in the Sarasota area and asked if we would join her in furnishing her retreat away from home with furniture and essentials.  
I never knew shopping could be so much fun and provide so much entertainment!!  The week was filled with laughter, silliness, bonding, relaxing, and simply enjoying being with each other.

Special moments included walks on the beach, swims in the ocean, chatting by the pool and watching Mom's florida home come to life.

I am forever grateful to be a part of a loving family.
Thank you Mom for showing us that family IS number one, being there for each other, laughing together, talking together........you are my inspiration.  Thanks for providing us with a wonderful place to gather.








We were missing one of the six McMonagle girls.  Amy(who lives in Belgium), we missed you.  You were in our thoughts and many discussions.  love you.


A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.
