Personally I think it needs snipping. He's three in April and it's never been cut. I'm forever tucking it behind his ears or pushing it out if his eyes.  Tempted to send him home with it pulled into a pony tail 🤔 

 

My son's first haircut was around 15-18 months as I recall.  My MIL saved some of the curls, she was so sad to see them go!  

It's amazing how just a simple haircut can change them from "baby" to "toddler" in just a matter of minutes!

@akcruz I'm also interested in what you liked most about your trip.  We're still relative newcomers to Florida and are always looking for someplace that we can visit for a long weekend.  

If you are ever in the Panhandle visit Pensacola.  There is Fort Pickens, Pensacola Beach, downtown Pensacola, Fort Barrancas and the naval air museum located within NAS Pensacola.  Close  by is the Blackwater River park system and Navarre Beach.  Big fun!

Are you really this close to the ships, Arzeena?  Thank you for sharing the pictures of the ships as they pass by!

I am on Fort Lauderdale Beach at the Conrad. And my cellphone camera is excellent.

Doesn't look to good for the last round of the tournament at Pebble Beach Pro-Am.in California.

 

Look at those flag blowing on top of the The Lodge, heavy rain too.

Crazy Weather, watching the weather channel......Tornado Warning in Miami, Florida

 

The storm should be there in the next 10 minutes.

Look at the heavy traffic going into the port!!

 

Looks like 7 ships presently in port right now.

 

 

Can't see a single thing right now on the cam, all the ships have disappeared!!

 

at 11:21am  Eastern Time  Complete White Out!!

Good morning!  We finally had two great, sunny pool days on both Friday and Saturday.  This morning, we pulled our hurricane shutters down while the rain pounded our area, along with a Tornado watch.  All is good now, we're just expecting rain for the rest of today, as well as tomorrow.  In all of our years since coming here (since 2001), we have never had as much rain and cool to cold weather in the month of January as we've experienced this year.  Again,  I'm not complaining...we'd much rather be here for the Winter as opposed to being back up North.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Sounds like several interesting things to do there.  We don't think about visiting the panhandle as much as we should.  Pensacola is only about 5.5 hours away taking I-10, which also happens to be the name of my current favorite IPA. 😁

The last time we had 14 days of continuous rain was .... 1992. Usually we have a couple of days and then sunshine.

She looks like she can’t believe her luck. Will you adopt her? I’m sure you will at least foster her until she gets her forever home.

Our grandson and granddaughter stayed overnight at our house Friday night.  They wanted to go to a really expensive restaurant for breakfast on Saturday morning, so we found them this one.   

 

 

 

We got lucky, because the meals they ordered were less than $899.

It does get colder here but spring and fall are lovely times to visit.  It takes awhile in the spring for the gulf to warm up.

She is a keeper.  So sweet and loving.

I honestly don't know why I like to torture myself. My legs still feel numb. They aren't adjusting to the water temp. It's freezing. 🥶  It's not crowded like it usually is. I'm sure the weather is keeping people out. At least I'm getting to use some of my Icon swag. To top it off I had to order a frozen drink. The waterproof bag works. I didn't trust it with my phone, so I only put some tip money in it.

Oh my gosh, she's adorable. She found her new home. 😻

[h20skibum]

We were pulling into our driveway after breakfast, and the grandkids saw a large bird in one of the trees in our front yard.  I look at it, and I say “that is a Cooper’s Hawk”

 

Our granddaughter says “Cooper’s **** !”  (Although what she said was not hawk, but something that rhymes with it.).  Of course, our grandson starts laughing, and he tries to correct her.  She tries again, and it she repeats several times “cooper’s ****, cooper’s ****”.  By now, Susan and I are laughing along with our grandson. 

 

Finally, our grandson says “stop it, the way you are saying it is a bad word.” 

 

I guess they haven’t taught that word in 3rd grade yet.  I won’t put the word there, because I want to pass GO.

Maryann, please get that FL weather straightened out before we get there Feb 21st!

Yum. Bob Evans was a regular stop for us on our many trips to WVU.  We have none around here.

Today we are dealing with a clogged shower drain.    It had been slow the last couple of days and I had put some baking soda and vinegar in the drain yesterday hoping that would help but Nope.   Today the shower floor overflowed into the bathroom floor while I was showering and we had a "rain shower" in the basement.    Thankful our master bedroom/bathroom is on the first floor and we don't have to deal with any leakage from a 2nd floor bathroom.    We have extra ceiling tile for the basement we can pop in after everything is dried.

 

Eric went out and bought a drum auger and is going to try now.  If that doesn't work we will call a plumber tomorrow.    Homeownership is always fun!

I think it’s a joke, but also an invitation.  
 

I guess we have to wait to see what color loofa they hang on their door handle. The following is the golf cart loofa guide.

Physically we're OK.

Dire situation..... no end in the foreseeable future to this futile war 😢.
