This is so appropriate since it’s SNOWING HERE!
Never forget these BRAVE people in Your thoughts & Prayers.
Okay folks it’s snowing here and everywhere that there was bare grass yesterday it is now WHITE. It’s a very FINE snowfall, but it’s still snow and sticking.
Does Mother Nature not know that I have to go to the grocery store! I put it off for over a week and our refrigerator is looking a tad bare.
LEE: I know just how DEPRESSING today is for you and Lu-Ann.
Let me BORE you with our routine. For all the decades that we vacationed in Florida I HATED the DAY BEFORE WE LEFT Longboat Key. Art knew to stay out of my way as I packed and got rid of all the stuff in the refrig and freezer and then made sure all the laundry we could wash was done and dried and packed. We too cleaned up the condo, so we would be sure to get our DAMAGE DEPOSIT RETURNED! Once all that got done I spent the rest of the day walking the beach, writing my traditional “THANK YOU LBK“ in the sand and taking a pictures of it. Then I would float around in the pool. I soaked up as much sunshine as I possibly could. We would order Pizza from “OMA’s” and I’d go out and watch my last SUNSET and come into the condo and POUT. HATED THE LAST DAY BIG TIME. HA HA. Art’s job was to make sure he carefully packed the car. MORNING ALWAYS CAME TOO SOON. In our younger days when Jill was with us we would get on the road at 6 a.m.
Our later years, when we weren’t working anymore, we would leave around 7:30 a.m.
So Lee and Lu-Ann know that you had a great time and PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY COMING HOME. IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE LONGER BECAUSE OF THE SNOW AND WEIRD WEATHER JUST FIND A HOTEL AND CHECK-IN. Life is too precious to take any chances on the highway.
Look forward to your CHECK-In’s from the Hwy!
Lee: I am amazed at how quickly you can find a SONG & Video to match some of our conversations. UP ON THE ROOF WAS PERFECT formour Karen! Kudo’s buddy. 
Dave: Tell Kathi IRISH SOTA BREAD is traditional thing for St Patricks Day! I never liked it. It was too dry for me. Art’s brother was born on St Patrick’s Day and named, of course, PATRICK!! Good thing the family was Irish/ Scottish! Ha Ha.
Karen: Make sure to pass LEE’s words onto the contractor regarding the MUD BASE for that Shower at Barbs. A thick base avoids CRACKS in the future. I know when Jill & Mark just had their 2 bathrooms remodeled the contractor filled the TUB with water for two days with weights to make sure it was set.
Lee posted: The tubs and showers in this house are all fairly new inserts. I can feel the bases flex when I’m having a shower. Scares the heck out of me!
Okay, I know I’m being a pest as usual over this. Sorry!
I need to get on the road and go to the grocery store before it this SNOW really starts to come down harder. Oh wait the guy on the NEWS just said it’s suppose to turn to rain! Joy, joy. PURE MICHIGAN at it’s worst.
Worry about our Mama Bunny. She’s been in that hospital too long…AGAIN.
BE SAFE AND COME BACK LATER AND CHAT.
