THE COLD IS COMING TO FLA

We are suppose to have temps in the twenties tonight. That is COLD for Fla. But it sure beats a cumulative total of 114 inches of snow.
And we should not complain with other parts of the nation getting horrible weather.
I did not share that we came home a couple of days ago to find a dog in our yard... have no clue as to how it got in other than to jump the fence. She was here two days in a row... and we have not seen her since.
We planted a lemon tree recently and have already harvested two lemons. The juice just flowed from them when I cut it open. There are five more on the tree.
We also have an orange tree and grapes we planted along with blueberries. Do not expect to have any fruit from them for quite awhile.

A NEW YEAR 2009 ... what does it have in store

We know the year will be when Janice's daughter Heather gets married to Dan Chaves in September in Macon, Georgia
It will be a year of volunteering for Janice at the Good Samaritan Center in Dowling Park and a year of worshipping GOD at MCALPIN ADVENT CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
We pray for GOD'S Blessings through friends...we were able to see God's creation with David and Dottie Dean in Homosassa Springs where the manatees, bears, flamingos and Lou the hippo live. God has so richly blessed us with his magnificient hand if we only take the time to admire.
We are looking forward to seeing our lemon tree, orange tree and grapes grow and flourish.
We will see Barack Obama inaugurated as our 44th president... pray for him as he leads our country in a time of upheaval. Pray for our service men and women. Pray for President Bush as he leaves office and begins a new way of life in Texas.
We look forward to times with our grandchildren... Saxon, Rhiannon, and Kyla.
