We thank God for beauty he gives us! In Florida the sun shines and we stand outside in shirt sleeves gazing at a half moon and stars. Cousins Laura and Dennis have moved from brrrrr Stfford Springs, Connecticut, and we look at the weather channel that shows mounds of northern snow with the windows open and a quiet breeze blowing in. Laura and Dennis have 2 dogs and cat and when I came out this morning after another good nights sleep, there was Chuck with the cat at his head, her tail wrapped around his forehead, and 2 dogs in his lap. This is hard as the "big" dog is the size of a Key deer! The Chuck got into trouble as he got a fresh cup of coffee and the dogs jumped up on him… and then Chuck and the chair were covered with coffee, the dogs were escorted outside, and Chuck was shooed into the shower. I should say here, "All is well" as normal as normal can get. Last night we drove on the Tamiami Trail which goes all the way from my neighborhood to Tampa. We ate great food in Venice Florida and congratulated Laura and Dennis on moving south.
Chuck and I will go home to Miami on Monday and try to organize a little as we moved a lot of stuff up from the Keys. We decided to move back to Miami as I couldn’t find some files and I sighed really deeply and Chuck made the mistake of asking "what’s wrong?" and I recited the litany that I’ve really been reciting for 2 years…. "I can’t find my stuff, I don’t like living in 2 houses, etc etc… " So he, thinking, I’m sure, of how much he loves Miami and the pontoon boat in the water… "We could move back"… I was finding bins and packing stuff 5 minutes later.    When we get home on Monday… we will try to pack for a 7 day Caribbean cruise that begins next Saturday. I’ll try to correspond over the holiday when we will really be travelling a lot! God bless you dears and remember… God and his angels are near… Thank God. Love Sue
