Out of the fridge! \u00a0We made it to Florida Thursday night and it has been great to not see any snow! \u00a0Sherelene and I have been visiting family yesterday and last night and will head on down further south and to warmer temps today. \u00a0Beach trips are for Sherelene, I’m a shade guy. \u00a0I will be spending this week getting prepared for my time with the folks in Peoria and working on the Fuji X System book Volume 2! \u00a0I will blog some this week but probably not every day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just a word about family. \u00a0We visited my brother-in-law Ron Oliver yesterday. \u00a0Ron had a some severe circulatory issues and had to have his leg amputated above the knee. \u00a0I can’t imagine the trauma involved in this kind of surgery but Ron was in great spirits and was working hard to get used to his new life reality. \u00a0I am so proud of him for getting down to business and facing this turn of events. \u00a0Life is tough and you have to be fought to face some of the difficulties you will face, Ron is stepping up to the plate in a big way! \u00a0I was worried about him and Diane but they are doing great, and will do great! \u00a0Our family’s been blessed!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It has been great to spend time with Scott and Diane, Ben and Hannah, and the rest of Sherelene’s family. \u00a0On to warmer temps!!!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blessings,<\/p>\n
