Michigan or really Florida????

That is the question.

The temperature was a high of 37 degrees yesterday. The low tonight is predicted to be 27. And we chose to stay in Florida this winter to avoid this. I am wearing gloves and Andy wishes he had brought a jacket! He left his Columbia fleece at home and I just happened to stick in his down vest at the last minute. He is thankful....now.
Even though the weather has not been the greatest, the time is flying by down here. The bright spot still is having the time to be with family during January which has help brighten our lives. We spent the entire Christmas vacation break with our grand daughter. She stayed at our camper with us. Since school has started back up, we travel up there on the weekends and stay. She is a diabetic, so it has been a real challenge for us to "nag" about eating the good carbs and sugars (she graves sugar, sugar, sugar) and watch her activity (all that swimming and biking riding we had been doing) then regulate it all with her injections of insulin! I truly admire my daughter and son-in-law on how hard this is. And they have been doing it day-in and day-out for over 9 years. When we are not together, Kailey calls about 3-4 times an the afternoon, and definitely at bed time to say "good night" and exchange I love you. Gosh, we will really miss her when we leave in February :( We do have some events that we are looking forward to, the Camper Show and the Cirquesa (human circus acts) and a trip down to Key West. Of course, weather depending. Most of these events are outside! The Cirquesa we passed on opening weekend with these 30 degree temperature. I am sure they were hunting around for portable heaters.
