Image
Florida Second Half Pictures Link to pictures We're back We got back home yesterday (12/28) and we're setting back in to things and adjusting back to the frigid weather. It snowed and accumulated about 5 inches while we were away and so we were greeted to covered driveway. My snow thrower was grumpy and wouldn't start and so we were saved by a random drive-by offer to plow our driveway by Chip from our landscaping company.
