The Chills

Saturday Morning

Went to the beach for my morning walk. Oh, the sun shining and blue sky made it wonderful

I felt so moved by the pretty water, I thought a swim would be great.

So I took off my winter Jacket with hood, my hooded sweatshirt, long sleeve shirt and long heavy slacks.

I took a deep breath or gasp, then screamed, Sh-- its cold and I'm freezing.
51 degrees.

Got dressed like a lover when a husband comes home....

Yes, quickly.

Bundled I returned home to see that electric meter spining like a fan and just a little warm air flushing out the vents.

Oh, Paradise!
for Florida Power and Light.

Ah, Soon I'll return outside for those free hot dogs at the club.
===================
Saturday afternoon....


In Chicago its in the 20's I'm glad my daughter turned on the heat in our house.
she set it at 62

Its a little warmer now but we didn't walk to THE CLUB.
Thats a dive 2 blocks away called The Crescent Club.

Its the place we get the free hot dogs.

Last week we met a couple from last year....john and gloria.
John eats at least 5 or 6 hot dogs. Well gloria and john didn't show up today but her sister did.

Vicky and John, two nice folks from Indiana.

We met them last week. they spend winters in Venice which is just 20 minutes away.

He was a BA for the plumbers in Ind.
He used to shoot golf in the 70's but developed anger problemson the course, and now, he is not happy with his golf/attitude.

I gave him some relaxation tips and we will play together when we return in Jan.

They lost a 28 yr old son last year to Lukemia.
So Vicky would tear when she talked about it.

Anyway, now we're back home enjoying the furnace heat.
