Report From Sunny Florida

We know the weather back home is frightful, but even though it's cold for here, we still enjoy the Florida weather. It has been in the 20's and 30's at night (that's with a + in front of it) and in the 40's to 60's during the day. I know that sounds nice and it is, but for Floridians, it's cold. We don't mind though.

Last Sunday we went to a wedding show just for fun. You go and pay a fee, and then you get to enjoy the free food and entertainment. It's one of those things you can do down here. While there, we met this lady, Louise Bai, who wrote about her life in China and her life as a citizen of Australia and her life married to an American. Anyway I did buy her book, and I'm reading it so it's pretty interesting to see what life was like for her. This is a picture of her. Oh notice the beautiful necklace, compliments of Gary and Rosemary. Thanks.

Here are Bob and Charlene waitng for the entertainment. Notice the cakes in the background.

One of the interesting displays was showing how to preserve your gown after you're married. I thought that was a good idea.

One day we all went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant that Charlene likes. Afterwards we hit the Russel Stover's outlet store to get samples. We had to take this picture because it is something we have done often.

Hope everyone is staying warm wherever they are, even if they're in Pasadena, CA to watch Alabama and Texas duke it out for 1st place. Oh that would be my brother, Gary, who is an alumnus of Alabama. But then there's my sister, Susie, who went to Texas, and she'll be in front of the TV cheering for Texas. About half my family will be rooting for Alabama, and half for Texas. We should call this game "Family Feud." Roll Tide and Hook 'Em Horns.
