OOh Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Yes, that's right.  Even here in southern Florida, it gets a little cool.  This morning we awoke to 54 degrees.  BRRRR!  I didn't want to get out of bed without socks on.  Our camper temperature was about 64.  We actually turned on a heater to make it comfortable.  I realize that's nothing compared to what some of you are experiencing weather-wise and I apologize for whining.

We are still sitting in water.  Hopefully, with the winds this week and the weather which will be warming up to 80's by Thanksgiving Day, it will start to go away. 

 
We did dress a little warmer (okay, I did) and go for a walk this morning.  Then we got on the Harley and found a place to get my hair cut.  The girl did a great job.  I loved it.  Then we found this little diner called Jax Diner for lunch.  It looked and sounded like a 50's diner.  We sat at the counter and ate beside a man who said he was 87 years old.  He was a very nice man whose company we really enjoyed.  He was a 20 year military veteran.  He had been to 50 states and, I believe he said, 37 countries.  Pretty interesting guy.  He said to call him Scoop.  He had earned that name during a jury trial he was a part of in Rhode Island that lasted 355 days.  A nightclub had caught fire during the band's performance when they set off fireworks inside the club.  Over 100 people died. 
Anyway, he seemed like a lonely man because he had lost his wife in 2007 after 50 plus years of marriage.  He missed her so much.  I just wanted to go home with him and visit for the rest of the day.  So we will probably go back to the diner again and hope to see him there at the counter eating again.  Then we rode around a little and came back home and rode our bicycles a while.  Today was a blue jeans day, for me anyway.  I was surprised to actually see people at the pool when we returned.  Brrrrr! 

I hope so.  Anyway, right now, we're just chillin', literally.
