First week in Florida-2007-08 season

It's still quite hot here in FL. Seems like we have had summer for months and months between here and DC.

Brother Mike is here for the weekend and we are absolutely thrilled to have him. If Ann had come, we would be completely happy. We wallowed in the pool and then went out on the town (to downtown Naples) last night. Don't get the wrong idea kids, remember we are elderly and therefore quite tame in our expectations of a night out. We first went to Naples Beach and watched a stunning sunset-pink and blue sky and I even saw the legendary green flash just as the sun went behind the horizen. Phil is a non-believer in the green flash. Picked up some more shells for the wedding tablecloths and then we repaired to an Italian restaurant on the main drag. I am really on one of my highs right now-could it be that the lows will drag me down soon? Doubt it-life is good-wonderful son, beautiful grandchildren, loving daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law-to-be and a fairly nice husband (when he feels like being nice). Just joking. I am also thoroughly delighted that we have a new grandnephew-Samuel. What more could we ask for? Grandpop would be so pleased also. Can you picture him in the midst of all the babies?

You, elderly? Never!!!!

This is such a great time for us all, and we should not take one second for granted! I can't wait to really bask in all of this excitement in just a couple of weeks. Say hi to Michael for me! Love, Sarah
