Back from Sunny, Warm Florida

Mom and I returned from Florida Tuesday...from 70's to 30's in two hours. What a shock to our systems. We had a great visit with kids and grandkids, got plenty of exercise, went to the beach, celebrated Michael's 17th birthday, stayed with each of the kids, saw dance classes, basketball game, jog-a-thon, had lunch with grandkids at school, etc., etc., etc.
I took 200+ photos on my digital camera. While we waited in the airport terminal, I thought I'd kill some time and delete the bad photos. Somewhere along the line, I accidentally deleted all of my photos...now I have nothing to show...and there was alot to see. Oh well, I won't do that again. Next time, I'll wait to delete after I've downloaded them onto my computer. Unfortunately, now I won't be able to burn cds to send to the kids and to show to friends and family. Live and learn.

A New Bed???

Tux is getting very creative about where he chooses to nap. The other night, he climbed into the bathroom sink when we were getting ready to go to bed.

John's "Assistant"

Tux decided to jump up on John's desk and help John out in his tax preparation work. See how he is sprawled out ontop of files and papers? John decided to take a break.

We're Gonna Blow This Popsicle Stand

Mom (grandma) and I are heading to sunny, warm Florida on Feb. 19th til Mar. 4th. We will spend some time with each of the kids and, hopefully, see Jay and Karen too. We have had enough of this gloomy winter weather with its grey skies, lack of sunshine and no green or flowers. Can't wait. John is gonna stay here and mind the fort, take care of Tux, 'cause he's "deep in the heart of taxes" now. Will miss him and Tux.

Happy Birthday, Julie!!!

Julie is 37 years young. Here she is with hubby, Doug and daughter, Katelyn at Christmas in Florida.

Where's Tux?

One of Tux's many hiding places, where he naps.

Caught in the Act...
