Thursday, January 17, 2013



Well, it is not all fun and games here for us. This morning we finally bit the bullet and cleaned our condo. :(

We are expecting house guests to arrive on Saturday and even though they are our good friends, we wanted the place presentable when they get here. Somehow, it seems so much easier to clean when we know we can play later. Isn’t that like a promise we have all made to our children at one time or the other?

This was a windy day at Bonita Springs and a cool front was blowing in. We didn’t especially want to go to the beach or to the swimming pool, so we decided to do some geocaching. Since there are so many caches in this area, only a short ride is required to find some. Today, we found 5 caches. My favorite one was placed off the parking lot at the local hockey arena. The cache owner had attached a hockey puck to a plastic bottle that was sunk into the ground.





We had a quiet dinner at home and relaxed for the remainder of the evening—something we have learned how to do very, very well. We monitored the weather reports all through the day which were forecasting the possibility of snow or other precipitation for Maryland and Virginia. While we were so glad to be here, we still had concerns for our family and friends and we went to sleep with prayers on our lips for them.

We got about 6" here. It fell very quickly and is melting very quickly. Matthew was thrilled for an extra day off from school. Send some warmth our way.
