Mary Lou - I agree with you about seeing those first few flowers in the spring.  i can remeber wandering the woods back in Vermont, vainly searching the snow drifts for any sign of life because it meant winter was over.  Even as a child, I didn&#39;t like the snow and spent the winter months reading about warm places.  When our teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, I said &quot;Warm.&quot; (true story).<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I&#39;m looking at a drop dead gorgeous sun rise out on the west coast.  The sky is magenta and lilac of such hues that if you painted it, people would accuse you of fudging the colors.<br />
<br />
We are headed to 76 today - yesterday, we hit 79 (yea&#33;&#33;&#33;).  <br />
<br />
Spent last night watching &quot;Grace and Favor&quot; or &quot;Are You Being Served Again&quot; as it was released here.  It&#39;s amazing how some shows, no matter how much you watch them just improve with age.  <br />
<br />
Chris went to see &quot;The Constant Wife&quot; - it was a W. Somerset Maugham play and very wordy.  he said it was okay, but the set was non existant and the costumes were all over the place.  Sort of glad I missed it&#33;<br />
<br />
On the agenda today is getting the closet ready for its new residents and planting the rest of the flowers Chris insisted upon.  Hopefully it won&#39;t get too cold again.<br />
<br />
When you&#39;re in Orlando, yell really loudly to our god daughter for us.  We keep talking about popping down there for a visit, but life always seems to get in the way.  Hope you have an incredible time and please travel safely back to us.  <br />
<br />
Cheers&#33;<br />
<br />
