.....Day 34, 2015 Home from The Keys
We flew home from the Florida Keys today.
Fireman and I had a wonderful week with our friends Larry and Sandy.
Sandy worked with me in the NICU before she retired (a year ahead of me).
This is Schwenke....that's his name.
He was the dive master on a trip Fireman and I took. I hadn't been diving since our honeymoon and I didn't want to dive.
I was a "bubble watcher" and went along for the ride.
Fireman had a wonderful time diving amid the reef with fish and turtles.
We loaded up on dramamine and even then I was texting AL from the boat about increasing my doses. It is great to have a daughter in the ER who can ask a pharmacist for advice....then my little question goes up to a satellite somewheres and comes back with an answer.
I had liberal coverage and despite some rolling seas, I was FINE.
I brought my sock knitting.
I had to ask Schwenke to be my guest blogger.
He was only too happy to comply.
Fireman was a Fire Dept diver so he is at ease in the water. He is used to diving in Cold Lake Michigan with no visibility looking for bodies. I think he looks cute in his face mask.
So we gloated a bit on Superbowl Sunday when we watched the game from the SUNSET Grille bar, and missed the snowstorm. It is not that we wished it on anyone, but we were very glad to be in the sunny Keys.
I LOVE to come home. (even when it means more snow) I believe that it is a tiny miracle that I can board a big plane in the Sun in the morning and be in my sweet home sweet home by the afternoon.
Do you love to come home?

Fireman is ADORABLE! God bless him for what he did. I can't imagine fishing people out of water. It has to happen here a LOT. People keep driving into lakes, ponds and rivers and sometimes even the ocean. The first responders are AMAZING in their dedication to what they do.
So glad you had a wonderful trip. I agree, there is no place like home! I love it everyday and especially when we have been away.
Your photos make me yearn for a warmer climate on this cold winter day with 3-4 inches of new snow on the walks to be shoveled.
Hugs,
