Back in the cold
The bright sunlight woke us up this morning, I peeked out the window and saw the pool and hot tub, steam rising. The water in the canal was still. But this wasn't going to be a relaxing morning, not today. Our bags were mostly packed though we still rushed around to get everything ready for our departure. Florida is a lovely place this time of year for us snowbirds. John's brother and sister-in-law were gracious hosts for a week, but our time was up.
Tara was the last one to wake up after 11 hours of sleep. I suppose the pool, beach, park and dinner at a seafood restaurant yesterday were finally enough to do her in for a long night's sleep. She was like the Energizer Bunny for most of the trip, but even bunnies get tired sometimes.
We are home now, our house is chilly, our cat is super happy, the laundry cycles have already begun. In some ways, it's always good to be home. But Tara is keeping her capris on and I'm still wearing my flip-flops. Some things we just want to hang on to a little bit longer.

Glad you had good times in Florida. Tara seems to have really enjoyed her vaction. It's really cold here but nothing like Mich, with beautiful snow and windy days. Nice heavy coats and beautiful scarves. Welcome home.
