Title: Tuesday December 30, 2025
Post by: Jim Donovan on December 30, 2025, 11:07:08 AM
Good Morning;

Clubhouse open and coffee on the stove. It is a chilly day here in central Florida. Apparently we will get a hard freeze tonight. While our neighbors are covering up their plants I let ours fend for themselves. Florida gets cold sometimes so all our plants are made to weather a freeze. i gave up on tropical plants decades ago.

Amazing how yet another year has blown by, way to fast! Well come inside and enjoy a cup of coffee (diet coke for ACL Tom!)

Glad we're not at the lakeshore bunker on the cedar swamp! :o (We'd be right at the "s" in Manistique) Facebook posts the Doll saw listed snow amounts in feet not inches. 3-4 on the road back to US-2 after you get out the 3/4 mile private drive.

20 and windy down here in the palm of the mitten. Most of our snow yesterday was blown off the drive so little need for cleaning up. We're just S of the bottom of the map image.

Headed out to see what's up. The Doll has a "jones" going for the thrift shops and wants to ride in my truck with heated seats  ;D

Jim, nice photo yesterday.

Afternoon all,

Still getting over this bug. I'm feeling a little better but still don't sound too good. 

Here you go, Karl. You may need one of these. We have no use for them in Florida.  ;D

Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

Thanks for the warm fire and Diet Soda Jim.

Bob, hope you get over the crud soon. I'm happy you didn't leave it here when you were visited.

As Jim said, cold tonight. I don't cover anything here either. Even our roses survive.

Hope all are having a great and peaceful day.

Tom
