Pat and I have returned from a special time down in Florida.  We went to Jacksonville to see her family there, and it was a pleasant time together.  From there, we went on down to Orlando and Disney.  We had a great time!  The weather was pleasant, nearly 80 each day and 60s at night.

Each park was a delight. This day at Animal Kingdom went well.  The Lion King show is spectacular

We attended an ‘after hours’ event at the Studios. What a nice time!

Epcot was a big day… we walked over 13 miles that day.

One night we stayed for the fireworks at MK and then got this special picture.   

The night parade, called ‘Starlight’, is amazing.  This is the last of the dozen-or-so floats that move up Main Street, USA.

The classic picture with Cinderella Castle.

Now, we are back home, working our way through the mountain of mail.  John kept the farm stuff up-to-date, but there is a bunch of other stuff that needs my attention!

The temperature here was 70ºF here yesterday when we arrived home.  The snow is almost gone.  Just a few bits from the deep piles remain.

The snow from the big old 12″ snow is almost gone…

I’m celebrating my 73rd birthday today.  Yes, it’s gone fast!  It’s a happy day.
