The final sunset of January

Well, January was NOT the best of months down here. This years weather leaves much to be desired, BUT I am thankful that we are able to be here.

We did a LOT of card playing and Wii game playing. Locals here say this is the worst weather since the 40's, I can believe it. We have been coming here since 1996 and I don't ever remember such a prolonged period of really rotten weather.

The highlight of the month was a trip to St. Joseph's peninsula State Park, one of my favorites. We also stopped at my favorite little shop in Mexico Beach. I got another bird for the yard at home.

We are now into February, which always goes fast, and hopefully we will get some sun :-), it would be terrible to go home with less tan than I came with.

I am still holding out about cutting my hair, some days I feel like a slob, but I will not cut it till I get home.

I have managed to put on 5 pounds, even with walking every day, sometime twice a day. That will take some working on when I get back to the Y.

We have v-chatted with the kids, one of the greatest inventions ever!, It is so nice to talk to all of them, kids, grand kids and great grand kids. Ain't technology great?

Not looking forward to the drive home, but it is a necessary evil of the trip. Will try to update this again before we leave.
