Florida Tour



It was great getting out of Ohio for a little while. The lack of sunshine in February always leaves me a little tired but seeing the sun, green grass and some beautiful sunsets recharges my inspiration. We took Nina's 88 year old mom down to re-visit family and friends. We started by visiting Nina's nephew, a nurse anethicist at Sarasota General and his beautiful wife Christy who is an amazing cook. Then dropped Nina's mom off in Japanese Garden's, her home for 22 years, for four days. During that time we went to Bradenton, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island and Naples also visiting Bonita Presbyterian Church, Sandi & Jim Hess' church, as you can see in one of the pictures. I'm in the pic with Jeff Faux, Director of Music Ministries at BPC playing a variety of music for him. We then headed over to Boca Raton to Nina's brother Bob and sister-in-law Linda and enjoyed more gourmet meals. Lots of good cooks in that family. We're back now and wishing for an early Spring. Hopefully it won't be long now!
