The cherry blossoms sound lovely. I'd like to see that sometime too.
Oh dear, a nasty hurricane season. I hope not!!
I can't even imagine trying to have the yard mowed yet. We've had rain, rain and more rain for the last week.
When do you leave for Florida? Hopefully it will be awesome warm weather for you.

Hi Sharlene and thanks for the hugs. We leave for FL on Friday. We drop Bailey off at "camp" between 8 & 9 and then head for the auto-train in VA. We have a sleeper room on the way down. If I survive that, I'll ride back-but we won't have a sleeper car. They were all booked. If I don't survive that, I'll be flying back by myself. Not entirely sure how that will work, but I'll cross that bridge if it shows up.
Weird thing is my brother, with whom it's like oil and water, is moving on May 3rd from the East coast of FL to Fort Myers, FL which will be within a couple hours of where we are staying. He does not know we are coming down. I think that the last Tuesday we are there I'll give him a call and invite him to go out to dinner the next night or so.
We return home Mother's Day evening-having left on Saturday. It's a two week vacation. Average temp is supposed to be 84 degrees. Yes, that's right.....EIGHTY FOUR degrees!!!! None of this fifty degree stuff.
I've been working like a mad woman trying to get paper work done and packing lined up and gardening chores taken care of. I basically only have 3 days that are left to get stuff done....the rest are all tied up with other stuff. Good news is the leg has been great for about six days straight now. Still gets swelling, but the bleeding has not been returning and thus the bruising is not returning. The swelling still is coming and going but that will go on for quite some time. I am making progress in being able to do the stairs like a "normal" person and this week, in PT, they are going to show me pool exercises that I'll be able to do while I am away.
Better go get some sleep. I hope you're enjoying your weekend.
Love,
Susan
84F!!! sounds divine! I'm in jealous mode. hahaha
I'm sure the vacation will be wonderful. Warmth and water is like my happy place. hehehe
I like the sleeper cars. How long is the trip by train down to FL? Maybe it wouldn't be too bad coming back, how are you with sitting for long periods of time?
Hope you have a good trip. Sounds like you are going to be super busy getting ready to go.

Sharlene and Molly Muffin
a train to Florida? Wow, I am strealing away in your suitcase for sure.
i love trains.
Have the time of your life, you deserve it:):):):):):)
we will miss you Sus.
PLEASE don'tmake me ever ride the auto train again!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad:
No sleep. Knee/leg hurt. Teeny, tiny room. My sweet car got scratched. Saving grace was the room attendant and the dinner.
Spent all of Monday condo shopping. Spent all of Sunday vegging on the beach and in the pool and getting somewhat settled in.
It is SO NICE being warm!!!!
Love,
Susan/Sus:D:D:):)
The train was bad? Awww, Sus, sorry to hear that. I was so excited for you about the train ride.
Did you find a condo? My neighbor's mom passed away about a year after the recession hit and she could not sell her Florida condo so she just kept it. I wondered how the market is now. We have friends in Jacksonville and they picked up a condo very reasonably priced further south, near Miami. They always want us to come down for a weekend but now with the dogs, it isnt going to happen.
I am so glad you had warm weather, I bet it felt sooo good. It is 60 degress today and we are all going crazy.
My laptop was giving me issues last night and this morning, not sure what is wrong with it. I saw your post on my I phone but cant answer from my phone. I need to download an app.:rolleyes:
love you bunches and am so happy you are back but so bummed the train ride was bad news.
love you
Oh bummer, not a fun train ride :(
Ohhh, condo shopping. I love to house/condo shop, even if I don't end up buying. Which I don't. hahahaha, Still it's fun to look. My friend is looking now in Sarasota area, she loves st. annes island and the whole area. She thinks she can get a place in a good condo for around $80,000.
Warm weather *sigh* I love just the sound of it, pool, sunshine. OH man! Wanna adopt?
hahahaha,
So, you are flying back home????
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
No-I can't bring myself to make Bob go by himself. We'll be auto training it back but this time in coach. The roomettes are all sold out as the snow birds are all going back north. That actually may be more comfortable. I'll let you know. Can't be any worse, can it?
I'm not familiar with St Anne's Island. We're looking near Siesta Key. We've seen 3 good possibilities and will be with our agent again on Thursday. I expect something will be wrapped up (under contract) before we leave, at the end of next week.
I wonder how Bailey will do with all this traveling? We kind of figure on being in FL from Jan through April, but next April we've already booked a cruise for the Netherlands for 8 days. That means we'll have to come back early April to get ready for the cruise and then Bailey will need to go to "camp" for that week that we're gone. I guess I might as well find her a therapist now!!!:eek:
Love,
Me
I just checked with my friend and it's not St. Anne it's Anna Maria, so same neck of the woods, but she is looking in Sarasota I think. Not really sure and I know if she can find anything in either area, like Anna Maria or Siesta Key that is where she will be.
Hope you find something awesome to enjoy rather than those cold winter months. It certainly is beautiful there.
Yes hopefully coach will be better. At least you'll get to experience both and see what you like better for traveling.
Rainy day = blanket and a good book :)

Sharlene and Molly Muffin
OMG you are still in FL, I thought you were home.
I am super excited you may purchase a condo. You have to send us photos. Bailey will love being a two state dog;);)
And a trip to the Netherlands, I loved Amsterdam and the little towns with cute houses with brightly painted doors and lace curtains. You will LOVE IT:D:D We took my mother along that trip, she loved it too. Fields of tulips just beautiful
