It is Saturday, February 21st, and Nancy and I are at Ocean City, MD with Buddy and Jane, Nancy's brother and sister-in-law at Buddy and Jane's condo. Charlie and Annalee, Buddy and Jane's grand kids are with us. Annalee is watching 101 Dalmatians and Charlie, who is 1 is screeching for what he wants. Words escape him and he is not yet aware of his "inside voice". Buddy googles how to handle the screeching and the comment of a "professional" was to teach him to use his "inside voice" and may the "time-out chair". Aren't professionals amazing! He's 1 for heaven's sake.

It's 32 degrees outside, a veritable heat wave after a week of zero and near zero temps. Maybe we will bundle u and open the balcony doors and listen to the roar of the waves. I could get used to this life; I mean what is there not to like. Sunrise off the balcony every morning, the splash of the ocean waves and the wind blowing strong from the ocean; these are the things that make my soul calm.

The bay is frozen over and it is a beautiful site. Just the thing I needed to help me make it to spring.

Gotta go, my nap is calling me!!
