Seems like I have been slacking in updates!   January has gone by and we are well into 2015.   January started off great, with Chris Mary Jane and I in Florida.   We brought the New Year in with Noel and Jo Ann in Estoro Florida.   They treated us wonderfully, and of course we left relaxed and our stomach’s full!   I stayed on in Florida until January 10th, and then headed back to real life!   December and January in south Florida were above average temperatures.  So even though Wisconsin temperatures were pretty comfortable compared to 2014, it still was a big let down to get back.   Marie came to Florida before I left, and has kept Chris company.   I returned January 31 and can stay until February 14.   This time Chris will come home with me.   We are lucky to be able to work as we travel, that is a big perk for us now in our last working years.  Being able to get away and enjoy some of life without having to burn our vacation time quickly.   No plans yet for what we do next in our travels.  Certainly we want to get back to Florida again, and we want to get to New Mexico this spring.   We will have to see how the cost of airfares rise around spring breaks and Easter and try to make some plans.

Since Christmas we have had  a lot of activity looking at our house.  We are told we have some very interested people, but no offers yet.  Oh well, it will happen when it happens.   We will just stay the course and continue to prepare for the next steps in our life.  Don’t stress the small stuff.  We are blessed to continue to enjoy life.   Being here in the warm weather is wonderful.   We spent part of the afternoon outside with our wonderful neighbors for cocktail hour.  At 90 and 93 years of age they are an inspiration!    We have met a lot of great friends, and certainly our Florida friends fit into that category.   Enjoyable to spend time with them and they are all very caring.

So we hope your winter is going well.  Stay safe.
