Nov. 26th through Dec.12th

Hello, it's been awhile, hasn't it? We've been busy getting adjusted to being retired. Paul & Patty, and Norm & Sue have been wonderful guides here in Florida. They have been showing us where the best restaurants and shopping are. They have led us to many Happy Hours, bars, and places to watch the Bengals and U.C. play football. Paul and Patty took us to sing karaoke. I've never done that before and I LOVED IT! (Paul, you've created a monster.) They have introduced us to so many really nice people (their friends). My Christmas sewing is finished, the shopping is finished and the gifts are wrapped. I found a great sewing store and I've signed up for a quilting class. It's a block of the month class. Even though we won't be here through the end of the class, the owner of the shop said she would send me the instructions and designs in the mail each month after we've left here.

We are anxious to see all of our family and friends. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
