I'm back from visiting Sanibel Island (my inlaws for Thanksgiving) It was a nice trip. The first few days were a little cool but then it warmed up and was perfect low to mid 70's most of the time. Didn't have a bike so the only exercise I got was walking, but that was okay for the week. We got some things done around their house, painting, fixing dryrot wood, etc. So at least were a little bit productive. I got my full share of Gulf Shrimp - Oh yummy fresh shrimp. There is just nothing like it!

Our trip back was uneventful but long, we flew into Charlotte - had a 3 hour layover and then ended up with another 3 hour layover in Phoenix cause our little plane was delayed with maintenance issues. That was kind of a drag but we got home anyway. The trip into Flag was really bumpy but not unusually so.

Big Kitty is so happy we are home! He woke me up every hour - I guess he had to check I was still alive or something. He would get right up in my face and purr and purr and purr and if I didn't pay him any attention he would gently stick his paw in my face! Got to love that old Kitty!

It's just little snow flurries here today - hope we get some more significant snow tonight!

Boy, do I need some Exercise.

Don't know what has happened to my hubby! He is actually getting domestic (like he has cleaned the bathroom more in the last 6 months than in the entire time we have been married!; he went grocery shopping with me at lunchtime and actually took al the groceries home and unpacked them when I went back to work! (totally his idea); he washed pots and pans for Thanksgiving???! ) Wow, I'm just shocked and amazed!

Homemade beer - my old neighbor makes the best beer! He brought a bunch out a few years ago after we all helped each other shovel out after a real big snow storm! We just stood in the street at night and drank this great beer as the snow kept coming down! It was a gorgeous evening and a great neighborhood coming together party!
