We're in Freaking Cold Florida.....

Last Sunday when we stepped off the plane at St. Petes airport, I immediately took in several deep breaths of warm and moist air.

Yes, I needed to be here.

The last few nights have been so cold that a friend suggested that a small electic space heater might help keep our condo warm. Highs of 62 and lows at night around 40 or less.

I didn't think so but we decided to go to Super Walmart and get one.

Well, all of Florida must have had the same idea. None at Walmart.

We left Walmart and was driving north on 41 when we passed Target.

Hey do you think Target has any. Well lets try.

We pulled into Target and walked around and around looking when, after Karolyn asked for directions, we found the aisle with all the space heaters.

They must have just gotten a truckload and the shelves were filled.

Lets see, do we want the radiator type....nope, seems like overkill. How about the super option space heater that also is a microwave....nope.

Lets look somemore....how about $40. Nope....

Hey, small little square ones for $18 but now on sale for $14, yep, lets take two just in case.

We'll use one and if it works by itself then we'll return the other.

As soon as we got home, it was plugged in and filled the living room with nice warm heat. So much heat that the furnace hardly went on again.

This morning, the space heater really got the chill out and was working great. So great we felt like going to the local bar to enjoy some free hot dogs cooked in sauerkraut.

We called our friend Marge and she said sure pick me up, I'll go.

Then called Paul and Diane next door and they said they were sick. Both had colds and both were cold in their condo. And they didn't feel like going out in the chilly air.

When I told Karolyn, she suggested we let them use the 2nd heater which we didn't use as of yet.

I took it over and Paul looked at the little thing and said that he didn't think that it would do much good. Within a few minutes of being plugged in, Diane started to smile and both got color back into their faces.

They still wouldn't go for hotdogs but threw out those thank you's.

Paul and Diane are real nice honest folks and we felt so good that we could do something for them. As they have included us on all the activities around the complex and introduced us to most of the other owners.

Anyway, we picked up Marge and the 3 of us enjoyed the dogs with kraut. And had a few laughs to go with Amber dark.

Now, its time for a nap and out with sister in law Nancy and her neighbors and our friends,,, Margaret---Ian for dinner at Big Al's sports bar.

talk later
stay warm
