Turn Around is Fair Play

 

There was no doubt that the day would come. After 30 years of off and on living in sunny (and warm) South Florida, I knew to expect this.

Every year between December and March, our dear friends and neighbors to the north had to bite their tongues and call us all sorts of interesting names when we shared our photos of this…

And now that Larry and I have returned to Houston, while not the frozen tundra, we are subjected to this from our friends still in Delray Beach...

                                                          From my dear friend Bob Thate


As they say, turn around is fair play!

 

Thankfully our warmer spring weather is making its way here.

HI Kathy Streib - I was thinking you were sharing some Florida pics that you took.... I figured it out.  LOL!  You have your priorities right....family, will always be more important.

I like that you are embracing it and you have seen the green grass on the other side, so you know them both.

Wayne Martin you have that right. Everyone (except one person)  I told of our move got it!

Carol Williams I had someone asked me once why I kept taking pictures of the beach and palm trees. For me...I could never tire of that.

Nina Hollander I'm not sure if it's the same but I remember when we moved to Florida everyone talked about the humidity there. For me...it was what I was used to. 

Joyce Marsh you make a good point because I do remember those H&H days. Having family around is important and we're blessed.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel you're absolutely right. We'll be heading back in a few months. 

Hi Sheila Anderson we did for over 30 years but decided that at this point in our lives we'd rather be near family.

Sally K. & David L. Hanson it was cooler today and the wind made it feel cold. Larry grabbed the grey throw from you and is hoarding it. 

Hannah Williams Love love love your new profile photo. If you get down to Delray to visit her I hope you stroll along Atlantic Avenue.

Kathy Streib Thank you must say I love the photo too and will be recommending this photographer as I feel he captured me in his camera

Michael Jacobs trust me, I was well prepared. 

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® I agree. We've already watched my niece's children and see my family all of the time.

Brian England that's an excellent way of looking at it. 

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty Stop it!!!!! We've decided that the best time to venture out into the Prime Houston area is between 10 and 2! LOL

Having lived there, it probably hits you a bit differently than those of us that haven't had that experience.  I hope when you see photos of your former beach home town that you smile with warm memories.

Several years ago, when I visited friends in Florida, it was mid February.  I had escaped an especially desolate Sacramento winter.  So, I know what you must be feeling now, Kathy!  Still, you are nearer family, which can warm the heart!

Morning Kathy.

This next week should bring a real change in our area.  High in the mid to upper 50's until next Thursday, than mid to upper 60's.  I've lived in Houston, in the summer the heat can be downright dangerous.
