We were supposed to have been in Florida but actually did make it down there for a few days after the funeral. It was beautiful weather, relaxing and we toasted on the beach to him!

Back yesterday to snow-enough already, it's April.

Needless to say we need many thank you cards for the generosity of friends and family!
