Did someone say snow???

Well, it isn't snowing, but it is raining and cold and kinda overall miserable out...
So yesterday I ran into a big stereotype come true at the oil change place I went to. They told me (a woman...this is the stereotype part) that I needed brakes...badly... and the charge they quoted was 500 dollars (front brakes only). So I said ok. (!!!) But then I cleverly called Tom and got out of it and now I am waiting to hear from the Chevy place where we took the car this morning. It is going to be like 300 max.
So what do you think of that?

I am continuing with H&R Block work...but not at such a frantic pace as earlier in the season.

The DKG convention is this week-end and I'm hoping to hook up with Gee Gee too. It's been too long!

Movie recommendation: the Adam Sandler/Jennifer Aniston funny one called...I think...Just Go With It. We laughed and enjoyed it in FL.

Florida March 2011

I put some photos of our Florida trip on the Sallee myfamily.com website. Click the link to see them! :-)

Florida March 2011

Watching the world news

Big earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Big flooding in CT and North Jersey. Big snowstorm in Ohio and the midwest. Tornado watches in Arkansas and elsewhere. Political underhandedness in WI..attacks on unions nationwide...collective bargaining hard hit....FL attempts to kill tenure; teacher success tied to student test scores...merit pay...oil prices soar...stock market dives...Charlie Sheen goes crazy and Ghadafi at war....

Meanwhile, Tom and I are enjoying our Florida mid tax season vacation in Florida.
After leaving Orlando we headed out for a fast visit with Wilma and Harry and then continued on to Miami. (We invited them to come down and stay with us, but it didn't work out this time...) We had some very nice weather for the beach and pool and jacuzzi and also really enjoyed driving up to Davie for dancing (and a Justin Moore concert!) at the Round Up.
(Well, we did have one panicky moment of on the highway and running out of gas...but all was ok....in part due to a brave four lane transverse course to the Mobil station!)

We chose a Nook for our electronic reader of choice (Happy birthday to me!) and so far it is working out great for beach reading!

Tomorrow we check out and head back to Orlando...with visions of Linda and Bob dancing in our heads. (Linda is in Lakeland now...) Who knows...we may even hit up one of the Orlando attractions one day before we head home. Another possibility is using the (Bluegreen) Fountain resort facilities as not actually staying there owners....

Give me a V....!

Len's house is gorgeous! I feel like we're living on a movie set for House Beautiful!
We talked to Linda on the way home from food shopping and have tentative plans for sometime between the 12th and 16th. Wilma is going to call when she gets home tonight so we can coordinate calendars with her.
So it was like 11 degrees in Mt. Holly this morning? Oy! Good timing!
