Next week's trip

Me with Norma Jean last November
I can hardly contain my excitement about getting to see Norma Jean and the rest of my Florida relatives soon. At this time next week, I'll be in the air somewhere over the country on my way from the northwest corner of the nation to the southern tip in central Florida.

It turns out that the day I fly south, we here in the Pacific Northwest will be experiencing a cold snap. Not me, though: I'll be able to wear shorts and t-shirts for the first time in ages, it seems. Plus I'll be swimming with my sister in the mornings, and it's been a year since I've even been in the water. I know my muscles will be sore, but a good sore, you know?

When I last saw my grand-niece Alicia, she was crawling, nearly walking. Now she's a toddler, and little Lexie is not so little any more. How time flies! A visit once a year is barely often enough to keep up. And between now and then I'll have a birthday, a massage, and three yoga classes! Life is good.

    Orlando (1975) and Miami (2013) were pleasant for me. Have a good trip.

    No mountains to climb; but I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time with family, and swimming is a wonderful way to exercise.

    Sure can tell you are sisters though it looks like you are the runt. Have a wonderful time with family, aging another year and soaking up the sun.
    Happy Birthday.
