How Cold Is It?

So cold.....

1. 38* at 8:30 am this morning.

2. 3 to 4 hour frost delays on the golf course for almost a week (who is playing golf?).

3. I think I might need a new pool pump since the freeze protector has been running non-stop for over a week.

4. Ice on the Intra-coastal. Really?

5. Coldest temps in northeast Florida since 1977.

Let's put it in prospective though, look at this category 5 snow storm they are dealing with in Michigan. Yikes!

Scattered Once Again

Christmas 2009 - a fun time spent together just the five family members. Christmas eve parties, Midnight mass, Christmas music, a leisurely opening of gifts while sipping champagne, laughter, ham, beets, poppyseed and Christmas cookies, Josh Early candy, too much food, a walk on the beach, conversation, all the trappings of a Florida Christmas.

Colleen's gingerbread fort.

Sleepy girls anxious to open gifts!

New Year 2010 - I am not usually a lover of new year's eve parties, but with Jim in PVB for just a short time, we hosted a small dinner party to ring in 2010.

Don't look too close, we have our mouths full of cookies! Same group that visited MVY this fall.

Colleen and Andra had their own party to attend!

In his efforts to have a paperless house, Jim introduced me to a new iPhone app called Toodledo. A paperless way to prioritize tasks. I was skeptical, but actually find it useful. I remember going through some of my mother's papers after she passed away and finding file cards that she had saved from my father with his personal goals on them. I have put together my own "must-do" list for the new year. Mostly events and places I would like to experience in north Florida while I still have a chance, but also some ways to effect positive change in my small corner of the world.

Emily is once again back in Boston, Melissa is building igloos in Minnesota where it is -4*, Colleen heads back to VU for rush, and Jim is back on the job in MN. I can be found on the links in PVB.
