HAPPY NEW YEAR….hope you
had a great time (or slept thru it like us) ringing in 2013. We had a good day of travel on Monday
arriving in Florida and welcomed by warm sunshine, gently swaying palm trees
and 79 degrees. I got a pedicure,
stopped at Costco and then arrived at P and A's shortly after the kids (Philip picked
Annette up from the airport). It’s
great to be back at their lovely home and enjoy their new pool/patio enclosure which they
had done this past summer. After unloading
their Christmas and baby shower gifts, we settled in – opened Christmas gifts,
played Sequence on the patio and devoured delicious steak/shrimp dinner. Annette and I walked into the nursery and she
squealed with delight – Philip had painted the walls while she was gone – very
nice surprise in a soft green color they had picked out.
So, after a full day of
travel for us, long flight for Annette from IL, and teaching for Philip……we
were all ready for dreamland by 10:15!

Slept in this first day of
January and then to 10:00 Mass at St. Therese of Lisieux. Mark and Philip left for West Palm airport
to get rental car for us to get to Marathon (Philip will use our truck this
month) and we Nomads will do lots of biking and walking. Philip, Annette and I had breakfast/lunch
at Strathmore Bagels, loaded up the car and Mark and I were on our way! It’s 83 today – hard to believe the snow
and cold we left behind in IL

We arrived in Marathon and
on Catrina at 4:40 this afternoon and after all the unloading and little bit of
putting away (there’s always tomorrow), we walked down to the Sombrero Bar
& Grill (very close to Catrina) for drinks and shared delicious beef
nachos. Sooo good to be on the water
again…..
May your 2013 is peaceful,
healthy, safe and very happy!!!!
