I love the sunshine and warm temperatures here in Florida but it is amazing how quickly one thinks of this as the norm. Is it really still cold and wintery in Ohio??
With Steve working 12-14 hour days I have had to keep myself busy. Not hard here at the LongBoat Key Club. Plenty of reading on the beach, tennis, golf and biking. I would add that there is a little shopping in the area too, but those of you that know me well know how much time I have spent doing that. Yesterday brought the first rain we have had in over 2 weeks. I performed some of the mundane household chores around our little suite that the daily maid service doesn't perform. Washed clothes, threw away newspapers, and spent some time doing paperwork. Yes Jessica I finally finished your California taxes. Today rain is again in the forecast. I will probably trek across the bridge into Sarasota and spend some more time at Mom and Dad's. Tuesday night is BINGO at their mobile home park and although I have not won yet Mom is the lucky one and she enjoys having me tag along.
I miss home and there is a growing list of things that should be getting done there that can not be handled from Florida. Belmont has reopened and the summer activities are being planned. Our normal kickoff to the golf season is our Masters Party. We opted not to have it this year because of the uncertainty about our return date from Florida. Not that the prep time is significant, but I think I might be going a little crazy at this point trying to complete the preparations from here. I am sure there is someone out there feeling left off the invitation list this year that doesn't realize there is no party.
I miss my time with AJ. Jesi posted pictures of him at the circus yesterday and it made me miss him even more. I have been skyping with Mike and that helps me feel better about how he is handling our time away. Very capably I might add. Last week on skype, he told me I could move down here because he is fine. Of course that was after I told him he needed a haircut and I wanted to see it cut before we got home. He still needs a Mom!
Off to the tennis court now. Rain must be forecast for later today.

What a nice respite from the northern climate, and when you return - spring will be right around the corner!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful relaxing break! Glad Mike is doing well!
We used to visit Tom's parents for a number of years while they vacationed at Longboat Key - so I can visualize you on that pretty beach very well!
Thinking about you!!!
Hey Linda, enjoy your last few days down there. The sun is out up here but at least across the border in Michigan we are still having record lows overnight and highs in the low 30's. Julie better be right about spring being right around the corner!
I think it would be difficult to be away that long-although in a suite sounds fun.It is great to hear about how wonderfully Mike is getting along-but AJ keeps on growing daily and I know you miss him! Have a safe trip home-and please bring the warm weather with you! Looking forward to seeing you-maybe soon.
