My father thinks I’m crazy. We just celebrated his 90th birthday. What does he know?

1. My father was right - I'm crazy! Crazy about my guy. If that means life in Chicago, then so be it.
I also have grandchild living in the Chicago area!
2. Sunshine is so overrated. Ever hear of melanoma?
Even the lily pads are getting too much sun.
3. No habla espanol; although Miami is a good place to learn Spanish.

5. Have you seen the size of the reptiles roaming Miami and environs?
I'm green with envy. NOT!
6. The humidity and my hair just don’t mix.
Not me, but close.
7. My hay fever demanded some much needed down time.
Ah, choo! Please bless me. I know I'm crazy.
