Need a GREAT VET?

This past weekend I met S for breakfast at Cristo's diner in College Park.

As I was driving through town, I saw that our Veterinarian 

was having an OPEN HOUSE.  

After breakfast, I decided to pop by and see 

what went on behind the scenes...

*****

Varsity Veterinary Center - 2010 Edgewater Drive, College Park, FL 32804

407-674-6835

I was greeted and given a tour by Lauren, one of my favorite vet techs.

Each room was set up showing the different services they provide.

**Rehab services:

Dr. Olson, DVM, CCRT is trained in animal rehab.

**where Zoey and Chloe stay when they are at the vet.

I was completely amazed because they not only provide veterinary 

services for domestic pets but, they also provide services for exotic animals and wildlife too.  

As the tour went on, I was shown the X-ray &
surgery rooms.

 I thought it was completely adorable how they had the stuffed animals
posed as if they were in surgery or if they were getting an Xray.

It put a huge smile on my face knowing Zoey and Chloe are in safe hands.

Not only was the tour a great experience but, when my BEST BUDDY ~ GUS 

was very ill earlier in the year S brought him to see Dr. Olson.  

After 18 years together and a long struggle to get him better we had to sadly let him go.

A few weeks later, I received a call from Dr. Olson's office asking me to stop
by because they had something for me...

When I arrived they handed me this.

There are no words... but, thank you!

Dr. Olson and her staff are top notch!  

They always go above and beyond and you can tell they love what they do.

If your best buddy is sick and needs to see a Dr. bring him/her to 

Varsity Veterinary Center.

They will take great care of them!

P.S. let them know I sent you. ;)

Do you LOVE Vintage?

The other day, I was going to S's office 

and, as I was leaving I saw that there was a 

new store located in the same block.

It's called: 

RETROMENDED

1231A N. Orange Ave, Orlando, FL

Not able to resist, I popped in and as 

I perused around I chatted with Brandy, the owner.

As, I busied myself looking for my needle in the hay stack

I found myself thinking how well put together this boutique was.

Everything had it's place.  Color coded by rack.  Every color in the rainbow.

Music was light and soothing.

Vintage pieces from as far back as the 20's.

I was really enjoying to be in this space.

I had an arm full of selections and in the 

dressing room I went to try them all on.

I found myself not able to put down this one piece. 

It reminded me of my childhood 

and the sweaters my mother used to knit.

Looking in the mirror I saw myself as a small child running 

around playing with my sisters and all of us having on one of my 

mom's hand made sweaters just like this one.

SOLD!

I submerged from the dressing room with my needle 

and a huge smile on my face!

Brandy immediately tells me that this is one of her 

favorite pieces in the store too.

BINGO!  

Again, SOLD!

I am currently having my treasure dry 

cleaned but here are ones that I found 

on the web that resemble it.

This one is the exact same style and cut of the one I purchased.  

Mine is tan with bright green flowers.

As I was searching the web I found the next few pictures.  

These resemble the sweaters my mom used to make my sisters and I.

What a flash back!!!

Did your mom ever make you one of these patch knit pieces???
