Merry Christmas, Suzanne and Paul! Glad you’re making new friends and celebrating the holidays in fine festive fashion. We were delighted to receive your Christmas card although we were at a loss to think of anyone sending us something from Florida! I hear Clearwater is nice so it’s a good place to spend a few days. You’ve certainly chosen the perfect year to opt for sailing over skiing. Enjoy and stay safe!
You are getting so close!!!
