(ha) I will be all rusty on blogging after vacation and will have to get going again so I can come up with more "material" for the humor contests in the future. Heck, when you are in your 50's, you have enough life happenings to recall that are funny enough, I guess. *wink*The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-4778450754562242892009-02-22T00:17:00.000-05:002009-02-22T00:17:00.000-05:00Joan!!!!

I LOVE it!...it just makes me so happy when others read and comment and makes my love of writing so much more fun. I will look forward to your frequent comments! You will absolutely LOVE Florida. What area are you coming to? We are in Madeira Beach which is between St. Petersburg and Tampa on the west coast. The water is a very beautiful blue and the beach is white sand. Today it was in the 70's and supposed to get up in the high 70's (Farenheit) by Tuesday. We will probably start driving back up north around March 1st and will miss the warmth.<BR/>Sara: I will check out your blog regarding the tag (THANKS!)and hope to get to post back about it over the next few days. We have really been on whirlwind tours....went to Savannah and now Florida in the last 4 days!! I miss all my blogger friends and will get right back to it when I get home again (or sooner if I can get my photos posted!) <BR/>Ms. Squeaky Wheel: You sweetie, you! I hate to go back to the cold north when it is time to go back...it was in the 70's today and sunny. I miss all my blogger friends too,but I will get right back to blogging soon. (Maybe before I get back if I can download some of our trip's photos in the next few nights!)<BR/>Insanity Kim: OMG!! I just turned on my emails and got their announcement and then my blog and your congrats. comment was there! I couldn't believe it! I am so happy. It gives me such motivation to keep writing more, which is something I have put "on hold" while I worked in my career these many years. I thank you for encouraging me to enter!
