Church bells ringing

The church bells rang out at 10 this morning at St. Ann’s Catholic School.  Julia, John and I are at our new park (Jose Marti Park) on the Intracoastal, which is adjacent to St. Ann’s. We’re moved from Welly World, we’re far from unpacked but today feels like it could be a regular day and that feels like a good thing.

Today, we’ll watch The Open on TNT, we’ll unpack a skosh and we’ll whip up a killah web site for Rob’s hurricane window business. At least, I’ll move it along to the next level. The winds are up today at the Beach and the prevailing wind is uncharacteristically cool. Sitting outside without benefit of a shade tree at this time of year is akin to suicide but today it’s NOT. It’s lovely.

Mum and Neil have shuffled off to Copenhagen and left behind them a wake of Muesli and Tea. The house is different without them of course and we will miss them both. It was a nice visit and I’m so glad that all my kids and Shannon got a chance to be around them and vice versa. I’ll upload some pics from the visit shortly but for now time is too short for photo editing and the like. What are some of the highlights? Watching the Space Shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral on July 4th as we cooked hot dogs on the bar-b-q. That one we’re sure to remember.

My Xmas Pressie really delivered

Shannon got me a round of golf at Palm Beach Gardens golf course for Christmas and today I got to unwrap my gift. I had the day off, the weather was perfect and we had an absolutely fabulous time. It was one of those days where you feel the rays of sun on your face and it makes you feel so happy. The grass was green, the swamp was swampy, and the balls flew all over the place. They even went in the hole on occasion just the way they are supposed to (we both hit our usually horrid and wonderful shots). Shan even got to hit a ball about 5 yards away from one of their Gators. She admitted to being a little nervous but I reckon the Gator was more concerned with the humanoid with a club.
