Super Bowl Sunday

relaxing at a re-sale shop

As the days roll by living a snowbird life in sunny Florida, we find it isn't quite as hot as expected. Certainly not as warm as 4 years earlier when we lived on our sailboat anchored in Georgetown, Exumas, which was a few miles from the Tropic of Cancer.  Today we woke up to 47 degree temps and tonight we could see it go as low as 39.  This doesn't upset Sue or I since we brought warm clothes and of course when we left it was getting cold in Delaware.  A recap since arriving on January 3rd has us excited to be in such a warm-hearted town.  Everyone is so friendly and share info about shopping & any items we need.

dinner at Vero Power Squadron

We go to dinners and dancing quite a bit.  There are the same old fashioned block parties I remember having when I lived in NJ.  Since I am a past commander of the Wilmington Sail & Power Squadron, we stopped at Vero Beach's local squadron and were warmly welcomed.  We were invited to their Founders Day Dinner where we met over 150 members and enjoyed a filet mignon dinner with a bottle of wine.  Each day we are treated like "best friends" wherever we go.  There are so many churches here that I think we could go to a different one each week and never attend all in a year.  Daisy really enjoys Vero since there is a large and small dog park here.  She is able to run with dogs her size, chase balls (she usually doesn't do this) but she likes to sniff around all of them. 


Windy day for lunch at the Lemon Tree

We met Ann and Dave Benfer, from Wilmington, for lunch a couple of weeks ago, and will see them again on Feb 9th.

The climate is so nice here that we have thought about living here again next winter.

We're headed over to a super bowl party at a friend's home here in Vero.  I'll post some images on this blog later next week.
