Thursday October 16th~

 Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving, 
we get stronger and more resilient...

Yesterday we went to the house.  Of course we 

also had to freshen it up and make it ready to be lived in. 

When you're gone for months there is lots of "touch up" 

cleaning than needs to be done.  We spent a few hours 

at the house, but left satisfied with the outcome.

The drive to the house is always very pleasant.

Arvid and I must be very weird because as soon as

 we are back in Florida, specifically in our condo, we 

are cold.  It's not as if we keep the temperature very 

low.  During the day the AC is set at 76F (24.4C) and 

at nights it's set at 74F (23.3C), even so we are cold.

In Branson we were warm even though we had 

the same temperature settings.  There we didn't use

 a blanket at nights, here in Florida we do.  

In Branson Arvid went around in short sleeves,

 here in long sleeves.  I always wore tank tops at

 home in Branson, but in Florida I find myself 

wearing a light sweaters at home.  I'm cold.

Sniff of course is back to being on his 

heating bed, but in all fairness Sniff loves 

warm linens/bed no matter where he is.

When we got home, I did an early morning trip to 

our Publix (grocery store) while Arvid slept.  It's less

 than a five minute walk from us.  Even their parking 

lot is lined with Palm Trees.  I love it.  It's Florida.

We have a busy day today.  Each of us having 

a few things to take care of.  Wishing everyone a 

good day.  Is it strange that I am missing Branson? 

 The birds, squirrels and of course Charley?

The past is a lesson, not a life sentence...
