Brrrrr......in Florida

Florida had snow in the panhandle yesterday. Thank goodness where we are located which is in the southern part it didn't do anything like that but it has been cooler than normal by 15 - 20 degrees. The poor farmers (strawberries mainly) have had a terrible week trying to keep their berries warm. We have had a couple of nice days with high 60s/low 70s with sunshine but it has been cloudy and cool most of the week. The forecast for next week is showing a big improvement so hopefully once we get through this week it will turn around.

We have been talking with our kids and KC is really getting hit with the winter weather. They have already had 20 inches of snow and the temps have been very low (-5) and the side roads are terrible. Our grandchildren have been out of school since December 22. If they don't get back before long, they will be going to school through June which they won't like. But the forecast for next week is better - suppose to warm above freezing for a few days which will be nice. It hasn't been above since before Christmas. So Florida weather is great!!

We haven't had the best start to our stay in Florida. I had an attack of diverticulitis (colon infection) and ended up in the ER for 8 hours on the night of New Year's Day. What a way to start the year!! Don't recommend that for anyone. But I got all checked out and got medicine and am feeling better by now. So I haven't done much this week. Hoping to get back to our activities, etc., next week.

Our friends that we met here last year, Don and Linda, called us on Wednesday and said they were coming by to visit. It was great to see them. We went out to eat with them and our other friends, Dave and Becky. It was great to catch up with them.

We are actually having better weather than you. That is a surprise. Sorry to hear you were sick. Rick has that and knows what you were going thru. He said he felt your pain. Glad you are better. Take care and have fun once it warms up.
