| Perfect weather in sunny Florida |
This is one of the three golf courses at my sister's retirement community in Florida. I tried to walk closer to see if the egret would allow me to take its picture, but I as I crept closer, it was obvious he wasn't going to stay. So I figured I could show you the lovely setting instead. Notice it's not raining.

| Yesterday's view as we readied for takeoff |
I had a relatively uneventful trip, which is what you want when you've got a whole day of travel to get through. What I did want to see the last of, for at least a week, is what's on the outside of this window. For the first day, it's looking pretty much perfect. We walked before sunrise, then went to the Y where I got a 10-day pass (because of belonging to another Y) and swam in the outdoor pool for twenty minutes until I couldn't go any farther. I left my sister in the adjacent lane and went inside to use the stationary bike. She swims a mile every morning during the week and then does longer walks on the weekends. Yes, we are definitely sisters.

| Thecla, Norma Jean, Sylvia, Rose |
My sister and her golfing buddies, having a day in the sunshine, enjoying each other's company. Norma Jean was not actually playing today, because she's got company (me!), but we went to watch, with introductions all around. Two of these ladies are in their mid-eighties, and two in their seventies. All three, except my sister, are snowbirds, who show up after Thanksgiving and leave in April. They golf together several times a week.
So that's what my first day in Paradise looks like. While we were out on the golf course, I got a video message from John at the coffee shop, so I proudly showed him how beautiful it is here today. The weather forecast looks good for the coming week, too. I'm wearing shorts just like them, and it feels great.
(P.S. I accidentally just posted this on Eye on the Edge and realized my mistake after I posted. <sigh> now it's right)
