Old Man Winter is still here.

Yes it is still chilly down here in the great state of Florida. We are all getting a little sick of it, yet I should not say anything after talking to so many friends and family from our Old Home State Maryland, My Maryland. They have over 2 feet of snow, some still unable to leave their homes, to go to work, the store, but luckily everyone I spoke to had not lost power, which all things to consider was a wonderful thing. I had to laugh, due to the fact any other weekend they are all hard to catch when I call up there, but this weekend my phone was the one ringing, they were having severe cabin fever. Yes it is going to be and already has been a long winter. So what do I really have to complain about, so sorry I said anything, we will be thankful for what we have down here, it will get hot soon enough.

We have been not doing a whole lot, hubby has been sprucing up the lot still, adding some lights on our trees to light them up at night, mulching, and golfing. I on the other hand have been staying inside too much in fact, but did venture out one day to take a bike ride, only to find that the trail I wanted to take to the gulf, well due to bridge construction, I could not figure out where the path was. So much for that, so I rode in the park. This week my goal is to get out and walk as well as ride the bike. We had lunch with our friends Linda's last week, and they took a really good picture of us outside of the restaurant, but I did see that I need to stop stuffing the face and go get me some fresh air, and movement of the body, sitting around too much is not good for the derriere. What is the saying "today is the first day of the rest of your life". Now all I have to do is get to work.

We were to have met up with the Linda's again tomorrow but they and us have fridges full of fresh veggies, so there is no need in going to the outside market over by them and stock up. We will get with them again soon, as they want me to help them out with learning how to use their convection oven/microwave. I told them that if I lost my instruction booklet I too would still be lost. I have to refer to it constantly. Did bake some good banana muffins this weekend, and tried some oatmeal cookies too, then I wonder why the derriere is growning. We have made some plans to go out to eat with one of our friends here in the park for this Wed for an early dinner, over to Dan's Clam Stand. They have great New England style seafood, and their clams are "to die for".

Well need to end this up, got to get going in the am if I am planning on doing all of this outside biking and walking. I have got to get some laundry done, and I still have two more cabinets to get cleaned out and they will all be done. Till the next time, take care, and make today your start of the rest of your life.
