Home Again

Took the last 11 days off and went to Florida. Have no pictures to share as of yet. When we got home last night, my new camera was sitting on the trunk of the car, along with Timmy's last set of 60 lessons. No, we didn't forget them, UPS brought them while we were gone. Wish the camera had been just a few days earlier and I could have taken it with me. Hubby put in the last 35 years of his life, working for Verizon Phone Co. and the digitalCanon PowerShot camera is my Christmas gift from him. He let me pick any gift I wanted from his anniversary catalog so, now I'm up to speed with the rest of you. I dropped in it's batteries late last night but that's as far as I had time to look at it. Help, Ruth, I need you!
It was cold the whole time we were there, folks said it was 10 degrees below normal.. It was 45 some mornings, windy, warmed to maybe 60 or 65 but the wind made it feel colder. Kenny and Timmy got in the pool while I reclined in a pool chair, under shirt, knit shirt, flannel shirt, and 2 big long pool towels layed over me, trying to get out of the wind. Didn't work, I stood it for a little while then retreated back to our warmer room on the second floor. That was another bummer, too low to have a good view. Couldn't see the beach this time but could see the water farther out. The bushes, grass and greenery was too high to see over but we could still hear the waves crashing. Out in the distance we saw a couple submarines, fishing boats and cruise ships coming and going. someone told Kenny that you can see 300 miles out over the water at the point where it starts going down where you can't see it any more. 300 miles? Go figure. Gotta run Hubby will be home soon and I don't have a thing fixed for supper.
