I must say we are having a blast just enjoying each other and doing whatever we want whenever we want. Today we got up went to Mass decided to travel to a mall about 25 miles away and on the way home we stopped at Whole Foods and picked up our dinner, ate then went to stations of the cross at St Ann and then went down to our nightly sunset ,came back and went out for ice cream and got home about 8 oclock.

I spoke to Eileen (Brother Bobs wife) yesterday and she seems to be doing pretty good and she is only about half hour from here in Marco Island.

She told me she had an accident a couple weeks ago.. She was picking up a large screen T V and it was to heavy and she fell with it on top of her.She was able to call paramedics and had 50 stitches in her arm. Eileen said she thinks she is going to have a scar from her wrist almost to her shoulder. She is healing well and her sister was taking her to the doctor today to have the stitches out. Keep her in your prayers Good Night PTMAAKEE and Parents
DONT THINK WE ARE MISSING ANY ICE CREAM DOWN HERE.

There really isn't much to report because we aren't doing much. Reading on the lanai, walking the beach, eating, napping, swimming in the pool, watching the sun set, etc. And everytime we think maybe we should go shopping or see a particular sight, we look at each other and say 'Nah, we'll do it later. We've got two whole weeks!' Just my speed but I'm truly amazed at how quickly Dad has adjusted. The only down side is how much we miss all of you guys.















I am still getting used to this blogging thing. By the time we come home I may have it all figured out with the help of some phone calls to my daughter. I am about to start rearranging these pictures so they are in some sort of order but it takes time which I have plenty of in the next few days.
I have some really old pictures of family and grandkids that I am going to post soon. Some of which you parents have never seen, so until then... V A C A T I O N !!!!
