Florida in the Winter, February 14, 2009

Happy Valentine's Everybody!

The folks, Rod and I celebrated a night early at Carrabbas--OMG! Can you say...great food. We have learned our lesson there--we split entree's, we order an appetizer (Bruschetta Carrabbas), we sometimes split a dessert and we usually make it during HAPPY HOUR, to get 2-4-1 drinks. Last night was no exception...except we drank way too much! OH, and we tried the Ribeyes, not the Sirloin Marsala as usual. It was great....the server was terrific and we gave him the Holiday Tip. That's Jackie-Speak for rewarding good service on a Holiday...just a really nice tip!


SO, I know those of you up North don't believe we actually are cold in Florida, but, I do have some pictures to prove it.




It has been really cold for Florida, I have used all the cold weather clothes in my closet once this year. And then it started warming up this last weekend. SO, yesterday we nearly finished up the yard work--clearing out all the frozen, dead stuff from the multiple hard freezes this year. AND, today we went to the beach. It was gorgeous and Jetty Park was full of people enjoying the weather, celebrating the Holiday weekend and just hanging out. There weren't more than a handful of people IN the water, but, everyone was having a good time.


So, we jumped from the upper 20's to the 80's...and can I just say I prefer the warmer end of the scale right now! :)
