Dear Sis -
If you are ever hungry for too much to eat just show up at the Kapok Inn. We ate there last night and are in Ft. Myers today. We plan to go on to Miami tomorrow. We will spend Sat. eve, Sun there and go on to north Mon. Lots of fun, Paul
It sounds as if Paul ate so much that he expanded to Ft. Myers. How a meal could continue to expand him all the way to Miami the day after is something to think about. But he’s having fun, so that’s what matters! I would be having fun too if I were sitting inside a giant white and gold cupcake being endlessly fed.
But here we have two feet of snow and I have to go make my own breakfast. I can only dream of expanding-by-eating through the warm cities of Florida and after all that was done with, after I’d eaten enough to place me right beside the ocean, of taking the lessons that would make me a mermaid.


I forgot EVERYTHING when I saw those fantastic bathing suits!
They are adorable, aren’t they!!!
Oh. You just don’t know. I used to practice for hours and hours and hours in the pool. I sooo bad wanted to be a mermaid when I grew up. I can smile underwater, I could have been somebody….I could have been a contender. sigh.
Well . . . never say never, Judith. There’s still time!
Florida is sounding might good right now and you dear lady sure haven’t helped much. I’d eat my way to Florida simply for some warmth. These ol’ bones ain’t what they use to be!!!!
Happy Holidays, Karen and thanks for the jolt!!!
Hope the holidays went swimmingly for you, Louise! (ha ha ha) Happy New Year!

Evelyn, thanks for linking to the posts! I stopped in a few days ago right after you had the data loss thing happen. Ugh. Always so difficult to recover all that. Which reminds me, have you taken a look at Mozy? It’s a (free) online program that saves your online stuff as you go along – so that if something like that happens again you could retrieve it all easier.
Busy few days here, but I look forward to visiting your blog tomorrow to see all the wonderful posts you’ve collected from others. You do a fabulous job with all this and are to be greatly commended!!
See you there, then!
Karen
