FLORIDA TRIP 2002: Janet and I took a few days off to visit Dad and Kathy in Sun City Center. I must say we had a great time visiting, playing golf and dominos and site seeing. The weather couldn't have been better. If anything, I'd say it was a little too warm, but the sun was shining and it sure felt good. We celebrated both Kathy's and my father's birthdays even though not on the exact days. Kathy's daughters Ann and Carol were able to join us for the special celebrations. We took a day trip to Naples to visit Aunt Phiddy, Uncle Jeff and Peggy the poodle and even got to surprise Aunt Louise with an afternoon visitat her new home on Goodlet Ave. We certainly enjoyed being able to spend a few hours with them all. We're happy to report they all seem to be in good spirits. Uncle Jeff says he plans on retiring in May so they may try and come back to Indiana for an extended visit shortly thereafter. Back in the Tampa bay area we were able to go see the Ringling Brothers Museums in Sarasota including the ca d'zan (House of John). We then took a drive down through Bradenton Beach, Long Boat Key and Lido Key. And of course Janet enjoyed spending a few hours shopping around Armand Circle. I, along with all the other men, enjoyed sittting on the well placed benches outside the stores. THANKS, Dad and Kathy, for a wonderful vacation. And just a reminder, the movies take a little time to load and play depending on your connection speed, so please be patient.
