She's Here!!

Kris arrived safely yesterday at approximately 2:00 pm. Her original arrival time was 1:24 pm, but the wintry weather in Ohio made some de-icing necessary before take-offs in Cincinnati and Columbus. Safety first. The weather that greeted her here was rainy and cloudy. It's not what we would have planned, but the rain was really needed down here. The manatees were starting to use Segways to get around because the rivers and streams were so shallow. Unfortunately, as sometimes happens, nature tries to catch up all at once. We've had about 2 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, along with thunder, lightning and some strong winds. It's clearing up now and tomorrow looks great. We are planning to hit the beaches.

Kris had planned on a day of shopping with Sue sometime during her visit. The weather made them decide to do that today. They left this morning for a girls' day out. There are several, big outlet malls in the area, so they have a lot of stores to choose from. I don't expect to see them until late afternoon. Wickett and I have transformed the bus into a "Man Cave" and are drinkin' beer and playin' Jethro Tull real loud out the windows. He knows all the words to "Aqualung".

Well, the sun is trying to appear now, so maybe the rain is over. I thought that I would wait until the weather was better to take pictures of Kris ( and she's not here anyway) so maybe tomorrow we'll have some photos.
