Mannie & John Janasec from So. Portland

visited us this afternoon. They are spending their Winter in Titusvile

(about 15 miles to the north of us). They came for lunch and we

spend a couple of hours catching up.... We've been experiencing some cold weather the last couple of days....

I know it hasn't been as cold as it has been in Maine

but for Florida, it's been c-o-l-d.....

Guy's Christmas present arrived and he was so anxious to put it together....


Getting out the tool box was a little scary.....

but it went together nicely, with no profanities expressed....

He's already imagining what it will look like on Sea-bbatical

this summer....

Sunday we walked over to Jetty Park to watch the

Disney ship leave....

Tuesday, I went with the "Lunch Bunch" to a Tea Party

at the Hortage House in Cocoa. It was a bit disappointing

We were looking forward to a bit more elegance....

But it was still fun.....

Dorothy, myself and Carol

Happy 20th Birthday Meg!

Finally...after a 4 day delay, the United Launch Alliance Delta 4 Heavy Rocket

took off. We had a birds eye view...only about 5 miles away (as the crow flies)

from the rooftop of our Condo.

This is the most powerful of America's unmanned launched vehicle .

It is a secret National Reconnaissance Office Payload.

Absolutely breathtaking....you could feel the building shake when

it took off.....

After spending a week with us, Meg left last Thursday....

Back to the snow and cold and then back to school.....
