Ahhhhhhhhh, from the coldest to the warmest. It is a beautiful, sunny, warm 75 degrees today. I probably should have put suntan lotion on everyone but I forgot. We finally tore up roots and left Stuart. Craig and jack are the most hospitable people. I didn't realize how long we were at their house...like my friend Linda always say, "even after 3 days fish stink"). Hope we didn't wear out our welcome. We had such a nice time with them, they will have to come visit us sometime soon. Went thru 17 bridges so far today. We are going to Delray to see the Christmas boat parade tonight. John Paul joined us for the parade tonight. It was a perfect crystal clear and cool.

Day 28 December 9, 2010

Today is the coldest day in history for Stuart, below 30. ekkk. Good thing we stayed tied up to the heat. Decorated the boat, went shopping to Stuart West Marine. Such a nice big store and met up with a woman named, Diane, that I had met in the Ft lauderdale store. She moved here to Jensen and loves it here. Probably spent about 2 hours walking around talking to everyone ..how fun.Craig came over to the boat for pizza tonight for our farewell dinner. Such a great time...very good company. Jack won't be home until Sat or Sun.

Day 27 December 8, 2010

Craig and Jack's house on Manatee Pocket

Palm Tree Berries

Craig

Craig, Mollu and Scooter looking out at water.

Cleaned all morning, gave Skipper a shower, Michael worked on the computer and Craig and I went to Macy's. By the time I come home I will have everyone using coupons...can't believe how many people don't use them. I save so much that way.Had dinner at Finz on the water in Stuart. Forgot to mention that we stopped by and checked out John's property a few blocks away. Very nice..of course it is just a lot but very nice area.

Day 26 December 7, 2010

We are still tied up to the dock and probably will be for the next few days because of the cold front moving through. It was 31 degrees this morning so I borrowed Jack's BMW and went Christmas shopping. Might as well since it feels like Christmas ( I know, I know, it' s really freezing in NJ but it is all relevant). Stayed in tonight and had chili..comfort food.

Day 25 December 6, 2010

Everyone got up, Marshall made breakfast Q went to school, Marshall went to work and we left for Stuart. Much more traffic this time of the day...work day traffic. Jack left for Wrightsville on Sunday to bring the boat back to Florida. Craig took us to visit her friends Loretta and Jim (from  Washington, NJ) to see their new condo. They bought it last year for peanuts and had it all renovated. It is just beautiful, right on a canal, wraparound porch, and a view of the pool. Humm, I really liked it and Stuart. Off we went to Duffy's again, we like that place. It was way too cold to eat outside so we took a booth indoors. Funny how everyone is bringing out their fur coats.

Day 24, December 5, 2010

The day is sunny and cool and we are headed to the St Pete boat show but first we stopped in town and I went and signed up at Weight Watchers (new program) We were suppose to work the show but due to complications Jack and Craig weren't able to secure a both for this year. Q was coming, then not coming ,then coming and then stayed home to play his computer games. The show was alot larger then last year. We met up with Melissa and Cliff ( and his nephews) and just walked around all day. After the show we met up at an Irish Pub for drinks and wings...Cliff kept waiting for Michael to break a tooth...lolo. Tracy and Melissa talked and some day will meet up.  This gets a little boring when I just write about what we did all day..better when we are on the boat and I have lots of pictures to look at.. The started nice and warm and feel into the low 40's.

Day 23 December 4, 2010

Getting ready for soccer game

I woke up super early to find a Vet to take Skipper to because he is coughing alot. Was headed out to get GPS from the car when I realized that the house alarm was activated...good thing I didn't try and open the door. Not long after Marshall woke up and said their was a vet around the corner. I gave them a call and they said to come right over and it was literally 1 minute away and was an Animal Speciality Hospital. Dr Barry walked in the room and I had an instant like for the man before he even opened his mouth. What a thorough  Dr, he took xrays, checked him all over, gave me tons of meds for him and said it could be his heart because it is enlarged so he gave him laziks, said if that didn't work he should take the cough medicine. No fever and nothing drastic...that made me feel so much better.Quinton had a soccer game about 45 minutes away in the middle of nowhere. It was a really good game, he scored. This was the first we've seen in years, what a difference...it's men playing now.  We can't remember what we did the rest of the day...probably just hung around with Q and Marshall.
