We finally left home on the 11th, with snow falling. We had a wonderful sendoff by our family. Our oldest and husband hosted a breakfast of great food for us and all our kids before we left.
We have been in Sarasota since Wednesday the 14th. There has been a real cold spell (the locals say it rare) but its warm compared to the the -22 that we missed at home. It warms up during the day but its jacket weather at night.
Tonight we are going to be with our Slabach cousins. There will 18 plus, some of them live here, but most are vacationing. We will be from Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa and Florida.
We spent yesterday with Stan and Diane, Wilbur's brother. It was good to get reaquainted again. It has been several years since we have seen each other. We enjoyed seafood at noon and we had pizza at our "house" in the evening.
We have been enjoying fresh strawberries, oranges and lemons.
The internet is so slow this morning and I am having trouble adding pictures. But I will post some soon to show some local sites.
