Every year, good friends of ours hold a fund raiser in support of pulmonary hypertension, a disease our friend has been diagnosed with. The fund raiser is always lots of fun and is "wine based". The following are pictures taken of the Host's private cellar..

With the approaching winter, Dan and I decided to take a trip to Florida and Key West. On route, we spent a little time my sister and her husband as well as Dan's Uncle Howard and Aunt Leonne. Played a little golf, met the neighbors and had an opportunity for some excellent "one-on-one" time with some wonderful people.

What's a trip to Key West without going to Ernest's home.

Ernest spent some of every day writing in his office, generally in the morning.

In Key West, our hotel was located at the south and east end of town. Each evening, we would walk approximately one mile to the sunset side of the island for dinner and live entertainment. Yes, every once in a while, Dan would have to wait for me..

One of our great joys is having Lauren home for Christmas, this year being no different.
