Fairhope, AL

We finished the AARP drives ed program this morning and then drove down the east shore of Mobile Bay. You can see the tall buildings of downtown Mobile across the bay in the picture. We had lunch (shrimp) at the Oar House in Foley and did a little shopping before returning home mid afternoon so we can rest before tonight's euchre games. We recorded the inauguration and will watch it tonight.

I think it's winter in south AL as it didn't make it to 50 today. Cold, sunny & windy. But spring has sprung as I saw my first robin this week, the tulips are growing & we saw a red bud tree blooming. The forecast is 70 later this week but we are keeping the heaters fired up for now.

MLK Day; Robert E Lee & Stonwall Jackson Day

Judy has been doing real good at euchre. She won $18 Tuesday and came in fourth Sunday for twelve bucks. Good thing she continues to afford her trophy husband. Sunday was our neighbors birthday so Jack (birthday boy) and Lucy went out along with Don & Zola and us to the Longhorn before playing euchre. Saturday Judy & I went to see Bruce & Jody, we started to reupholster my parents old platform rocker. We have had a couple cold nights (30 degrees) but it's warming up, it was mid 60s today and all sunshine after some early morning rain.
Today is a big day down here in addition to MLK Day......Robert E Lee & Stonewall Jackson Day. You are celebrating up north too aren't ya? Today we started the AARP Drivers Reeducation course for old farts. We'll finish it tomorrow and I hope we can get an insurance discount. After the 1/2 day course we picked up a bookcase Jody & Bruce bought yesterday and trucked it to their place and assembled it. Judy also finished reupholstering the platform rocker my mom did 30 years ago. We'll see if it lasts as long.
