Florida, Warm/Cold it is relative (Always warm compared to WI & NE.)

These are Old fishing pictures in our folding boat. If you will notice close Sherry's warm suit is behind her chair she had already shed it. (Couldn't get her to shed any more, probably the gators!) This was one of the most beautiful days on the lake. The kind that is nice to be out, but you don't catch too much.


This has turned out to be a beautiful day down here in Florida. Last night was COLD (Okay you Yankees, don’t laugh) that is cold for Florida. We were in the mid thirties. It doesn’t bother the fruit or veggies until it really drops. But it does do that sometimes.There is a myth about Florida, that it is warm all the time, not so. Not so, when we used to have a boat (Hint used to have, want another I think) and fished early in the morning it was nice in a heavy warm suit. As the day progressed the sun gets the place all warm and toasty.

If you want warm weather you must go to the Okeechobee, in the Southern area. Then sometimes it gets nippy. For real balmy 95% good weather you must take a trip down into the keys. Most folks prefer Key West because it has the USA’s most southern point. If you go to Woody’s Blog, http://oldboomerwoodys.blogspot.com/
And go back a couple entries you will see a good photo of the Southernmost point (Along with a real good picture of Anna Mae, Woody’s wife, Okay he is on there too but….lol). He also had some good pictures of Warm sunny Florida.

There were plenty of times on the lake and saw no gators, cause they were dug in. They love the hot warm weather, and then you will see them everywhere. Most of the time there is no threat, but you don’t want to pet them, that is for sure.
We had breakfast with, then visited some, with our favorite Florida preacher, Bishop Carter and his wife Juanita. He ‘found’ an orange tree he didn’t know he had, and gave us a large bag of juice oranges. They are delicious.
WE went for ‘Mail Call’ today, probably the last of the Christmas cards. A lot of folks are sending e-cards, I don’t blame them, postage is becoming expensive.
Thanks for coming by the log.

Things you don’t hear much anymore:
Take that empty bottle to the store with you so you won't have to pay a deposit on another one.

Let me know when the Fuller Brush man comes by, I need to get a few things from him.

You boys stay close by, the car may not start and I will need you to help push it off.
