Florida

My daughters are very smart. They currently both live in warm weather zones, Jane in Arizona and Mary in Miami Florida. We all gathered there for a long weekend last week. While it was freezing in Ohio, it was a balmy and breezy 85. We had plenty of sun, walks on the sand, and toes in the surf. We even saw Rachel Ray, wrapping up the Food Network's week long presence in South Beach. I have been to Florida many times, it never disappoints. It was hard to leave yesterday, as we wound our ways back to our lives thousands of miles away from each other. We set up a next event, ever grateful that there are safe airplanes and nearby airports and frequent flyer miles. We have work to do, social events to attend, homes to clean, cars to maintain. It is always there in the back of our minds, however, like a singing bird. Our moments together a song of love and caring and support, God blessed and precious. Never really far away in spirit, our independent souls find home wherever we are together.
