We are back home in Florida now and are really enjoying the nice weather. It is supposed to be in the 70’s tomorrow. But like all good things this will end and the temperatures will start declining tomorrow night. We are expecting some mid to upper 30’s during the nights and lower 60’s during the days through the weekend. We are thinking the same as you – what miserable weather. Oh well, I’m sure we will make it through until it warms back up into the 70’s. Such is life in Florida.

Char and I have been talking about this past year and all the good and not so good things we have experienced. The first part of the year was difficult because of Char’s stroke. The summer was great as we traveled around visiting family and friends. In the fall Char had her cataract surgeries. And finally, December was outstanding as we traveled to Texas for Mike and Tammy’s wedding. This has been a good but challenging year. We are very thankful that things turned out so well and are now looking forward to next year.

We are planning to travel again during the summer and perhaps this will be the year we will stop in your area to visit. We do have lots of friends around this great country. We will start working on our trip plan and stopping points in the next few weeks. We are thinking that six months on the road will be good this time. And of course, Texas, Colorado and Indiana are must stops. This leaves lots of area in between to explore and we will try to find many exciting and out of the way places to visit.

We wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
