Hi Carol-

Wondering if you made it kayaking to the manatee hole.

Also I am wondering how Millie did the rest of the day.

Hoping you were able to have some alone time and enjoyed a bit of the

outdoors.

We did have sunshine today but it is a bit deceiving. The high for today

was...brace yourself...17. Looking outside and seeing sunshine would make

one " think " it is a beautiful warm day. Well, not to be fooled. As my

hubby said... " it's bloody cold " ...At least it looks nice from the warm

indoors.

It's 11:11...heard and read that is a direct portal to the heavens above.

Many hugs-

Sandie

Sandie,

I hadn't heard that one before. It is good to know.

Didn't you get any of this last snow fall or did you get it before us? We may

have had a bit of sunshine today on the 7-12 inches of snow we got. The Heavens

can stop any minute now.

Hope your first day of the year was a good one.

Hugs,

Donna R

She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.
