(view of our back yard)Hi all,
'Bout time I take some time to post. We left Myrtle the day after Mom and Vic, very fortuitous as 95 was closed due to wild fires near our destination of Vero Beach. We stayed a day in Savannah and took the on/off tour bus. What an incredibly photographic historic area, much to Cris' chagrin. In the evening as we made our way through St. Augustine's, Florida, we stopped for a bit at the fort there where Alex caught a monster fish almost 25 years ago. Probably my favorite fort to tour due to the moat and original draw bridges over it. Unfortunately no water or sharks present. I95 opened that day so we left for our last three hours of the drive. There were heavy smoke warnings as we passed the fire area. It was dark and I could see tiny spots of fire where it was burning the roots underground and popping above ground. Surprisingly, there were no police or fire trucks monitoring the area, I had hoped there must be a good reason. Apparently not as the news in the morning was full of how the fire had jumped 95 during the night and was now out of control in the area and the highway closed again!
We made it through anyway and are taking it easy for a couple of days. It's windy here on the shore but in the high 70's.
Today we will scout for kayaking and fishing spots on the intercoastal.
The flowers are in bloom this year, Vic, lots of hibiscus around the pool.
Happy birthday to all, including me. Will Cris remember? If I have anything to say about it, he certainly will. And of course I do!
I am so happy that the leg is working out so well skip.
Hope all is well with everyone, I am praying the floods won't hit up there again, as we are hearing of lots of rain.
love to all,
Sal and cris

Have you made it into the pool yet? I did think about you when I heard 95 was closed. Still busy playing catch up, but came home to a great Valentine's gift - new bathtub/surround. Now I have plenty to do restoring the rest of the bathroom, hallway etc. Also bought myself a new TV for WII exercising as it has been bitterly cold and windy so far.
Well, having just got internet service back, I am trying to catch up on the news. Glad to have Mom back, hope the weather stays nice in Florida. A BIG happy birthday to you, big Sister, I hoe you celebrate in style.
