We're Home!!

Sylvia, Bob and I just returned from 6 days in Florida visiting my mom. When we left last Friday morning it was 9 degrees out. The temperatures ranged from the mid 60's to the low 70's while we there. When we returned last night it was 11 degrees. Now we are expecting a snowfall from 6 to 11 inches over the next 24 hours. This coming week the temperatures are supposed to be in the mid to high 70's but we last week because I found $9 tickets online on Spirit. It cost us a total of $77 for both of us round trip. Sylvia wasn't sure if she could get the time off from work and ended up paying $200 round trip just for her, when she bought her tickets 2 weeks later. We were able to visit with my cousins Sally and Joyce and also with my sister-in-law Bert and her family. The visits were brief but it nice being able to see our family and catch up a little. While we there my mom bought a new lazy boy recliner. The next day her tv went out on her and we were able to help her pick up a new lcd tv and set it up for her. Sure hope she is able to use the new remote, : ) Bob was able to do a few fix it up projects for her also. It is nice to go away but it is great coming home and sleeping in your own bed.
Monday Bob and I celebrated our 41 st anniversary.
