Where’s Waldo these days? Well I don’t know about Waldo but
I can tell you about SIT.
We arrived at our friends’ place on Friday afternoon. John
and Mary Ann live near the town of Milton in the Florida panhandle. They refer
to their winter getaway as the “Swamp.”
The weather has still not developed to the warmth that we
were hoping for but that’s alright since John decided he needed to make some
charcoal. I volunteered to be the official charcoal monitor since he had to go
do some things. He gave me the basic Charcoal Making Class for Beginners and I
was set.
Getting Ready to Tutor Tory
Conferencing
On Watch
The Art of Charcoal Making
I had to take my job seriously since I was going to be
graded on the outcome. I didn’t mind since it allowed me to stay warm beside
the fire.
We spent a few days with John and Mary Ann before we headed
to the airport to head back to the west for Dustin’s wedding. Dustin is Steve’s
sisters’ oldest child and decided to get married in January in Tigard.

Izzy
would have to stay behind but I am pretty sure she isn’t pouting since she gets
to hang out with Lily and Smokey and some neighborhood friends. She also can go
running and swimming.

It was good to be back and get a chance to catch up with
friends and family. I was even able to celebrate one of my best friends’
retirement (Debbie) with her husband (Greg), and daughter-in-law (Megan) We had
a great time and great dinner.
We are looking forward to spending a couple more weeks with
John and Mary Ann and then will wander around Florida for the rest of the winter.
Before we hit the road again we will get the Szymoniak Swamp Tour which Izzy
will be able to go on (since she couldn’t go on the last one). She does love
boats!
Our Digs
We will also get some fishing in and golfing if the weather
decides to help us out. I still can’t complain one bit though as we’re not
shoveling snow or dealing with ice like so many others have been.
We hope your new year has started off with great health and
you are able to take an adventure yourselves. If not we will try and entertain
you throughout the year! More to come!!
