Here we are starting our fourth week here in Florida. Today
is a reminder of why we love it here so much. I look out over the balcony and
see the boats gently rocking, the water rippling as the tide starts to move out
and the sun shining with only a few wispy white clouds in the sky. The fresh
morning air awakens my senses as does the rich brown coffee I hold in my hand
and sip while enjoying the moment. Awe yes, life is good here.
Last night was book club with an amazing group of people.
There is a variety of ages and different backgrounds with women from different
parts of the world. This was the first meeting of the club and everyone melded
very well. Although we all loved the book it was interesting to hear the
different perspectives on the plot and characters. The book was excellent read
called, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann
Shaffer. I had read the book a couple of
years ago, but really enjoyed reading it again. Anyone who enjoys historical
fiction will love this book. It was a lovely evening of good conversation, food and wine.
We have spent some time the past few days helping my brother
Tom and his girlfriend Brenda; settle into their condo about 3 miles away. They
are here for three weeks and so far seem to be enjoying themselves. The weekend
was a bit cooler here with lots of rain on Saturday which was really the first
real rain we have had since we arrived. A good day for housework and groceries.
The forecast now is for sunny days with a bit of cloud. Temps seem to be
hovering around 23- 24 C. which is slightly lower than we have had ,but I am
not complaining as I have still been to
the pool and out for walks.
We are looking forward to our company arriving and sharing
in our Florida experience. There is so much to see and do here and I know that
deep sea fishing is again on the list of activities that is a must. ( this
involves a lot of Gravol and no lunch)lol.
We here that the weather is brutally cold at home so we send
you warm thoughts and hugs.
Take care all!
Carol
