Happy Valentine's Day

 We just got back from Alliance Coach in Wildwood Florida where we ended the year long saga of our Norcold refrigerator--a new stainless steel Samsung French Door Residential refrigerator!! Yea!!! It's 18 cu. ft. and cold and the freezer is big enough to hold all the food Mitch needs to store and cold enough to keep the Blue Bell ice cream frozen! The debut was storing 32 pounds of steak for the Indonesian Steak Kabobs he's grilling for the Valentine's Dinner here at the RV Park.


The guys at Alliance did a great job, we lost a little of the drawer below the fridge, but the woodwork is beautiful. The Samsung works with our inverter so it works just great going down the highway--all high efficency electric, no propane. I think we are going to love this new appliance!

Our February has been as busy as the rest of the winter but we still get to see the boys as often as possible. Rylan likes to come to Grampa and Gramma's house. After an afternoon at the fair, he enjoyed just sitting and coloring for awhile. (Notice the bottom of the fridge.)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy 5th Birthday, Brayden

 After the cruise, the rest of January flew by.

Of course we had to spend time with the boys, and we had a great day visiting the alligators at Everglades National Park.

It's great fun to listen to Rylan talk and he says "alligator" so cute!

 One night Caryn and Jason collected on their Christmas present, dinner out at their choice but not Jason's restaraunt. We dined on Ft. Lauderdale beach at 3030 Ocean Drive, a divine place!

I loved the beet salad with goat cheese sorbet and a beet crisp. Gorgeous and delicious!

 Brayden loves to help Grampa cook and he does a very good job--and he has the patience to complete any project Mitch sets him up with.

Brayden had his birthday party at the park and all the day care school kids came. There was lots to do and one of the teacher aides painted faces. "Spiderman" enjoyed pizza for lunch and his "Under the Ocean with the Whales" cake. It's hard to believe he's five already--where does the time go?
