Hi from sunny Florida! I arrived on Thursday about 4 PM. Mandi picked me up. No problems with the flight at all.Stopped off to see Mandi's school and classroom. It is a very nice school but it is surprising to me that almost all schools across the nation look basically the same. Hers is a middle /high school combo. Knocked on the apt. door and surprised Jeremy. He was happy to see me. That night we went out to dinner and all had prime rib...thanks Grandma Mert! All of us turned in early as both Mandi and Jeremy have been sick with colds and Jeremy had to work the next day.
Friday Mandi and I went to get more cold meds for Jeremy and then dropped them off at his golf course. Got the tour and met some of the staff. They are all very nice and seem to enjoy having Jeremy with them. The club house and pro shop are also nice.
Mandi and I then went to a huge flea market. It had just about anything you could imagine. Was fun. Got a couple of things for Pat while I was there. That evening we went to a restuarant on the beach. We met a couple of Mandi and Jeremy's friends there. While we were there it started to rain. We thought it was a typical afternoon rain which usually lasts about 15-20 min. NO...it poured! Lasted at least an hour. Still raining when we left for home.
Sat.~ Jeremy had to work until 1. Mandi and I slept in. Then we all got ready and went to a sports bar to watch the Buckeyes play. After that we went to a dog track and met some other friends of Mandi and Jeremy's. We had fun...bet a little...lost every time. LOL Home about 9 because we were all tired.
Jeremy and Mandi are both off tomorrow and Monday. Don't know what they have planned for sure but it should be fun. I am just happy to spend the time visiting with them and seeing them so happy together.
Miss Patrick and the kids. Home on Wednesday.
