What a whirlwind weekend we've had starting Saturday morning when we left Florida City and headed to the Blue Angels show in Key West arriving at 9:45. Ryan met us at the Marriott and we had a quick 10-minute visit before he met some folks connected to the air show,. Sooo good to see him.
Proud Mom
Proud Dad
We drove to the Naval Air Station (Boca Chica), parked the car and walked to the airfield. It was a gorgeous day with clear blue skies, breezy and hot!
We walked around the grounds checking out the vendors, food, planes and just people watching. The air show started at 11, and the Blues performed at 2:30. Ryan did a great job as narrator......

Budweiser was a sponsor for the air show and an added attraction was
The Clydesdales
Had our picture taken with the pilots after the show, said good bye to Ryan and started the long trip back....stayed with Philip and Annette and so good to finally crawl in bed - long day, but soo fun and so glad we were able to see Ryan in action and enjoy the Blue Angels!!!
It's Sunday and............................tah dah...............
Brady is SEVEN today!!!
Happy Birthday, Sweetie
We Nomads were up very early (4:30) to return rental car and then fly out of West Palm Beach airport. Whoaaa.....a blast of cold air hit us when we walked off the plane in Chicago. Took the bus to Rockford where we picked up our car - Mark's sister, Janet and Mike have been using our car this winter. Good to see them and we were off, stopping in Rochelle for lunch - burr....it is COLD with strong winds and snow flurries. We are expected to get 7-8" of snow at home! UGH UGH UGH! What oh what is happening to spring?
Stopped in Dixon to visit Mark's Mom - she is doing well, but seems so different not having "Dad" here sitting in his chair and visiting. "Mom" mentioned that she heard on the news that they may be firing "Puxatony Phil" out in Pennsylvania as he had predicted an "EARLY" spring! HA! Tomorrow "Mom" goes to Iowa City for more surgery - sending lots of prayers with her.
Next stop was at Bob (brother) and Linda's home. It doesn't get much better than this (well....other than palm trees, 80 degrees and sunshine)! But here we are nice and cozy.....
Roaring fire, glass of wine and a pretty bouquet of daffodils

Had good pizza and wine and fun catching up - a night to be indoors and out of the elements!

Hi Pat: Just a note to say will be thinking good thoughts for Mark's Mom tomorrow with her surgery and maybe reconstruction starting too.
Yes, where is Spring!!!! Cold and rainy here today. Will be going to Hickory tomorrow with presents for both Davis and Brady. Talked to Brady today and Scott who share today as their birthdays. Actually did Face Time with Brady. He is just a little man now for sure.
Got home late on Friday and have been catching up with laundry, etc. Had a nice trip and it was hard coming home to the cold. The temps on our trip were in the 70's to low 80's. Of course, we ate too much but the food was very good and always something to eat all our waking hours.
Prayers for Mark's Mom and so glad she is doing well with all that has been going on in her life.
Love, Judy
