Florida visit

I visited Dad and Adele in Florida, for a week at the end of February. I left Mandy behind for safekeeping with a helper. This time I booked a more reasonable daytime flight to Ft Lauderdale, and used a rental car agency that had a presence at the airport. Lessons learned from earlier trips. I enjoyed popping in and out of the small puffy cumulus clouds, on the approach to landing. 


Dad and Adele are doing pretty well, as he says, "considering the alternative." We did a few fun things, like taking Adele out for an early birthday dinner at Cafe Chardonnay, one of her favorite places, and a lunch with dad's Pundits group, who had invited Robert Beck to speak. Robert has published a book titled "Inside the Tailhook Scandal: A Naval Aviator's Story", which sounds like it will be an interesting read.


I got out for a few walks, during the daytime and after dark. The landscaping out there is so beautiful, it's a real pleasure to walk around and look at it all.
