Lots of Family and Warm Weather

We headed south into Florida to visit some of Jim's family who travel there from Indiana each year for the winter. These snow birds live fairly close to each other in Indiana, then spend the winter within a few miles of each other all winter. What a life they live, so busy with volunteer work, friendly get-togethers and lots of good times. While those of us in Indiana are shoveling snow, they're mowing their small lawns and eating tangerines off a back yard tree. What a life!


Nila arrived for a month's stay while we were there, and Jim showed her the tangerine tree in Jean and Morris' backyard. We brought home a box of those golden goodies and savor one each day while we remember the sunshine.
What an amazing tree we camped under one night on the way home! It dwarfed our camper, and listening to the wind in this tree was like an all night lullaby.
Once back in Indiana, we stopped to see Tom and Susan and had such fun, we ended up staying the night. What a great couple they are!
