Default It was just TODAY!

It was just today, at 12:45 PM when we pulled up to the mail building to pick up our six weeks of held mail, that we became official frogs! Croak croak. We are sitting on the lanai with adult beverages enjoying the lovely, silky air and warmth.

25 years in Michigan were great, but we are very happy to be here. It was 60 and raining when we left the lake on July 4. Kind of made the transition a little easier.

I am also happy to be with furniture. beds! sofas! No echoes from empty, packed rooms!

Fingers crossed that the closing on our condo will happen this week. (Buyer bogged down in deceased wife's paperwork.)

Hello, TV and TOTV! So glad to be here permanently.

Congratulations. Enjoy permanent "new beginnings"........

It is in the 90s and more rain due in Vermont.........our state is waterlogged.

We crave the Florida sunshine.......it's been more overcast than sunny ......ever since May. Perhaps a sunny burst here and there, but mostly RAIN.........now heat and humidity.

Winter in Florida will be a great sunny season to look forward to, compared to the frozen tundra of the north.......ENJOY IT ALL....EVERY DAY.
