But we are in our safe hurricane hole!

Ortega River JAX FL

Liquid Sunshine for the next hour or two. Winds are not too crazy.

Almost an hour and a half on the phone with Deb & Mac of Janthena tonight. We are glad that the old days of per-minute long distance rates are no longer in place! Great friends are priceless.

Tornados “missed” our good friends in Florida’s panhandle [Panama City]… Gene and Patty are safe in Marineland FL tonight. All are well!

Weather this Epiphany Holiday, January 6…

We got a lot of rain last night and early this morning, but conditions improved enough for me to jump into the pool and hot tub here!

80° air + water this afternoon!

Tough ol’ life!

Nice temps and a new Basil plant for Shelly’s cooking / herb garden.

We are watching the NFL Steelers @ Ravens game, and we see all that rain making it miserable there… 7-7 at the half.

Quite a bit of white stuff on its way north of that game!

If you ever have an opportunity to travel to Mexico or Central or South America, January 6 is the most festive day of the year there. Santa and the 3 Kings rule the landscape.

Dec 25 is more a religious holiday. Jan 6 is the big celebration and gift giving day for them!!!
