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 ...
Home for the Holidays!
... to find some handwritten notes from Tina who looked after the house for us, as well as our Swedish friends Christer and Pillan and our English friends Paul and Maggie who visited while we were away. There were even a few packages that Deb brought in from the doorstep for us!

It only took me ...
