The realities of homecoming!
We have one week under our belts at home in Florida. The joys of travel and homecoming have now faded with the reality of taking care of business.
As I wrote last week we did some pressing essentials right away but instead of decreasing, our "to do" list seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. This morning I scheduled appointments for repairs to our dishwasher, ice maker and wine fridge. They all decided to let us know they been missing us!

Drove from Sarasota to the island-without getting lost or using the gps (they don't call it a sat nav)! Stopped at arrmands circle on the way, had a ...

Today is December 1st, right? After we left Jim's house we rode about five miles when Devon spotted a Starbucks (for that matter, it could have been any coffee shop), and was hankering for a decaf espresso, and scones are nice, too.
