Warm times in Boynton Beach
You know, it is hard to beleive you can be outside at 10pm in shorts and t shirts. The winter gets so long it is hard to remember last summer. Life is good. Even though today was cloudy it has been warm all day. Had rain this evening, we went out to eat with Audrey and Jose and when we came out we could see the sliver of the moon. Looks like Noel is getting hit with thunderstorms over in Fort Meyers but still good here. But rain is OK as long as the temperature holds.
Best of luck to Bryan and Beth as it sounds like Beth delivered their first child today. Jo Ann should be back in Milwaukee by now. Noel just could not go back to the cold, not sure I can. We have new neighbors to the north, they are from about 80 miles north of Toronto. Even at thier home it has not been as cold as Wisconsin!
So Claire should be here, I started taking wallpaper down in the second bathroom. She helped take the other bathroom down. This one will take a little longer on my own. I’ll work on it a little each time we are down.
A few pictures up in albums. I know better but spent too much time in the sun one day. Maybe my stomach will keep me warm when I get home!
Jose is making supper tomorrow night, he has a plan to pick up some shrimp tomorrow. And he will make something for Chris!
And we will enjoy our last full day in paradise.
NO, to removing wall paper. YES, to the California Zepher.
Claire is planning a trip to Salt Lake City. We leave Chicago on a Saturday at 2pm, via one of the most popular western trains, the California Zephyr. It traverses much of the West’s SPECTACULAR scenery. Departing from Denver, you’ll snake upward on the Front Range of the Rockies and cross the Great Divide. We will try to imagine how this daunting landscape must have looked to the first settlers who came by horse or on foot.
To go through this exceptionally rugged terrain, the train takes numerous switch-backs as it gains altitude. Traveling through the first of 29 tunnels, it’s easy to see the huge obstacles that early railroad companies had to surmount. In the Roosevelt National Forest, the train crests the Continental Divide at the famed, six-mile-long Moffat Tunnel. When it opened in 1928, the tunnel reduce the time it took to cross the Continental Divided from hours to minutes. In the midst of the tunnel, you will reach a high point of more than 9,000 feet above sea level.
And that is only the beginning of the ten days.
Did you get your furnace fixed?
Claire
Did not fix the furnace, ran short on time and certainly not a priority. But I will try to have it looked at before the summer, just as a tune up.
Sounds like fun, I hope those passes are not full of snow. You can always changed to Florida!
