Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

We left Bradenton on Christmas morning flew to Detroit, then on to Amsterdam, and landed in Glasgow Scotland on December 26th or 'Boxing Day'. We stayed at a really nice Bed and Breakfast just a mile away from Jim's mum and dad's house. We walked up to the house in the mornings and walked back to our B&B at night. The weather was really nice the temperatures ranged from 1 to 5 degrees Celsius but the most important part was that we had NO RAIN. This was the first time we have been to Scotland and did not experience the rain and winds. The frost was on the ground in the mornings but very seldom remained throughout the day, the sun burnt it off. We actually saw the sun for about four days out of seven, wow!

We left Scotland on January 1st and landed in Florida about 1 am on January 2nd. Came back the reverse route via Amsterdam and Detroit. All flights were on time but with all the immigration and security procedures traveling is just not fun anymore.

Well, it is time to get back to the regular routines, Jim is back to work, he started on Friday, William and Alan get back to school on Tuesday, and Marjorie will be subbing on Tuesday and starting two classes at USF on Monday.

Our wish for you is to have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
