The wind is howling and the sky is grey …but wait the
temperature is 23C degrees. Oh yes , this is Florida. It has been a roller
coaster week with the weather as rain and wind have settled over the area. The week
started out well with sunshine and pool days but then quickly took a turn on Wednesday
with torrential rains, cooler temps and wind gusts strong enough to blow small
dogs off the sidewalk. Friday evening there were gale force winds and rain that
pounded against the hurricane resistant windows rattling the outer screens. Here we are on Sunday morning and the wind is
still blowing. When you step outside you expect it to be cold, but no you are
greeted by a warm muggy blast of air. So
strange. By Christmas Eve the weatherman says we should be back to normal. I am
looking forward to my Christmas day poolside!
The week has been quiet due to the weather. Roger missed his
golf game and paint out and I have had no pool aerobics either. We did some shopping and ran a few errands to
keep ourselves busy. I even managed to do a bit of Christmas baking. Roger has
to have his Christmas butter tarts! Thursday
night we went out for supper with friends and Friday was Euchre card night at
our condo. I am a newbie at this game but have managed to hold my own against
the more experienced players. Secretly,
I let them have a few drinks before we play and then their guard is down! LOL.
We had many laughs though and a very fun filled evening.
The week ahead brings Christmas and we have plans in place
with our friends. No traditional turkey but a mixed grill BBQ and some tasty
side dishes. A different and very easy Christmas dinner after a day at the
pool.
Roger and I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New
year!
