HELLO FROM J & A

We're having a nice time in Florida. The weekend was rather chilly, but today it is warm and sunny and is supposed to continue to get warmer and be in the 80's by the weekend.

Here are a few pictures of our "indoor" activity from last week - began the project on Monday night and completed it this morning.

 We got off to a good start - this is about two days into the puzzle.
 By Sunday evening, we were almost done, but just got tired about 11 pm.
The finished puzzle this morning - CATS, CATS, CATS, everywhere CATS!!

In addition to this puzzle, our activities last week included lunch with a couple of Jerry's HS teachers, a birthday dinner of roast pork, baked potato, salad, and cherry pie a-la-mode, and lunch with George and Hilde on Friday. On Saturday we went north to Tarpon Springs to an outdoor arts/crafts show on the historic boardwalk. Jerry watched some of the entertainment while I went into the shops along the boardwalk. Nothing appealed to me - I think I may have finally outgrown the impulsive tourist shopping I've always enjoyed. Unless, of course, that mini-green alligator jumps out at me sometime!

We went to Sarasota to church on Sunday. Heard two good sermons and saw a few people that we know. Then we went out to Lido Beach, west of Sarasota, and found a little motel/resort and reserved a room there for a week after we leave here. It's quaint, old, clean, right on the waterfront, and inexpensive. Perfect.

Jerry's back on the beach today, and I went grocery shopping and did laundry this morning.

The Lido Beach sounds just like the kind of place we're always looking for. Anxious to see now you like it.

We'll check it out Judy - and maybe we can meet up there for a few days next year, OK?

Great! We don't need fancy...just beach.
