Florida...........

......... is a most wonderful place to be in the winter.  Although......

.... it has been cooler down here the last few days - Squeegie was trying on Poppa's jacket - we haven't had any below zero (F) temperatures and not one flake of snow!  Meanwhile up north of the border it has been frigid and snowy!  We are sooooo happy to be here.....

.... as you can see!  Back home in Canada, our little boys......

.... are staying indoors where the temperatures are warm and away from the snow and cold - apparently watching Star Wars on the TV!  Before I get too carried away about the weather though, I should show you.....

..... this beautiful floral arrangement which was delivered shortly after our arrival here.  Believe it or not it is still looking very much alive and well!  Thank you to Gramma and her gang!  We noticed a big change in the kitchen...........

... when we arrived!  For those of you are fortunate enough to have visited us here, you will probably notice that we have all new appliances in the kitchen - stove, fridge and microwave.  Just look at that fancy fridge!  I have so much fun getting cold water and crushed ice - I find I am drinking just for the fun of it!  The stove is quite similar to mine at home - with the ceramic top and warming centre - except, of course mine is white and this one has a burnished stainless finish!  I finally used the microwave the other day - again similar to mine, so no problems figuring out how to operate it!  I feel so spoiled!!!  Just before Denis & Liz left to fly home to Canada, I prepared.....

.... one of my typical casseroles for them.  And, since there were more dishes than usual....

.... I even tried out the new dishwasher!  It is wonderfully quiet and did a great job on the dishes!  What a life!  Great weather and fun indoors too.  Poppa is apparently.....

........ having fun too!  As you can see, he is gathering together his cleaning bucket.......and Squeegie is ready to be his assistant!  Meanwhile..........

...... I have organized my yarn supply and...........

........ in the evening once we all get comfortable.........

......... I do some knitting!  Imagine that!
