Divas Lead the Holiday In The Park Parade

The Divas officially kicked off the Orlando Christmas Parade at 3:30 pm on Saturday, leading the procession around Lake Eola on our motorcycles.

Plenty of time for Taz and Victoria to catch up.

All the Divas' bikes are in the staging area and ready to get this party started up in here!

Has Martha Stewart paid the Divas' garages a little visit? Hmmm... We're looking mighty festive.

Yay! Akili is back in the saddle to ride with us!

Lynn made it too!

Even Diva elves have their own cell phones these days.

Martha and her dog came out to meet up with the Divas and watch the parade.

This one should fit just right.

Our Toy Soldier has a new friend. You think she's negotiating an insurance plan for the Divas?

Where in the world is...?

This elf is ready to ride!

We Get By With A Little Help From Our Friends

The distress call was sent out and the Divas answered.

Akili, who is enduring physical therapy for a herniated disc found the daily climb to her third floor apartment was too much for her back to bear. So after getting the okay to move into a first floor unit, she asked for help on the move.
Victoria, Trish, Melissa, Chris, Deb, my husband Mark and I, along with Akili's family and many of her co-workers all showed up to lend a hand. By the end of the day, mission accomplished. Her entire apartment had been packed up and transferred to another building downstairs. We were rewarded with Akili's famous gumbo, cornbread, potato salad and cold drinks. Mark somehow found the energy to get back up for thirds.
