A quick update.  Life is good!   We were able to come to Florida after a very nice Christmas.   We spent some time with Mom who unfortunately had the flu.  It went through her complex.  But she came through well, which I find hard to believe because when we left her and Milwaukee I came down with it.   And I did not know if I would survive!  And Mom says she had it twice.   But MJ Chris and I made it to Florida which felt great even with the flu.   I was able to work from here until the first week of January and had to head back to work.  When I left Marie came down to warm up and keep Chris company.  And they have been enjoying themselves, while I was home in the cold Wisconsin weather!  This is a long and very cold winter, showing no signs of getting better.  I was very happy to make it back down last Wednesday.  Although my 3 hour flight took 8 hours, long story,  but I made it!   And it has been beautiful here while schools we hear are closed in Wisconsin because of the cold weather.  Friends Dick and Carol have come to Florida this winter and are spending a week near us, so the last few days we have been tourists.  The pictures show a theme of eating and drinking!  And today we took a ride to Key Largo for lunch, and had a great day.   Now relaxing and thinking of plans for Tuesday.

Hope all are doing well, and for those of you back north I wish you could all be here in the wonderful weather.  Unfortunatately I will join you soon.
