We had a great long weekend in Florida.  Last Tuesday night and Wednesday I did lot’s of snow moving in our blizzard.   But after 14″ we did get to Milwaukee Wednesday night, and Thursday morning were off to Florida.  A direct flight from Milwaukee to Fort Lauderdale, went smoothly.   And I think it was -2 when we left and landed on a day West Palm set a new warm temp record,  I think 89.   It was beautiful!

We opened up the condo for the season, did some cleaning and shopping and settled in.  On Friday Noel, Jo Ann, and Al Miller joined us for the Christmas boat parade.   We had burgers at the pool and watched the parade go by.  It is always fun and interesting.  People put an awful lot of work into their boats.  Saturday we did some sightseeing and relaxing, and ended the day with sheepshead.   Sunday off to church, and then our local pub where we could catch the Packer game, and root them on to a win!  Then off the pool and more relaxing.   Monday after lunch at the pool the Enders headed back to Fort Meyers, and Al helped me find the cigar store and some more relaxing!   Tuesday another beautiful day,  but the day we needed to leave.   Each day Al and I walked the beach,  and he had a little pool time the last day.  We flew back to Milwaukee together getting in around 9:30 pm.   Of course Milwaukee weather heading back below zero!  But we made  the trip home uneventfully and are now back to work!

Last night my homebrew club Christmas party, tonight some relaxing, and tomorrow night to Pewaukee for Chris’s Christmas party.   We will get home sometime Saturday and have a few things to do around the house the rest of the weekend.  MJ arrives next week and will be with us for Christmas.

So stay warm, don’t get stressed and enjoy!  Christmas is near.
