Meanwhile, on Florida's left coast

Thanks to careful instruction by Swing Coach Becky Lynn, (top photo) Virg (left photo) got his stroke back early on during the couple's present stay in Ft. Meyers, enjoying an early season dip into the area's amenities.
They'll join forces soon with Virg's sister, Becky Beverly and her husband Al, who winter in Venice, just north of Ft. Meyers.
Word has it they may combine for a visit to the nearby (and educational) Tom Edison museum.

Virg has observed that home construction has not ceased; they're putting up housing full-speed in his neighborhood, (right photo) as the banks continue foreclosures on nearby properties.
Go figure.
The view below is from the couple's lanai, which is Floridaspeak for screen porch.

Special note: Virg and Becky, if you want to see the weather you are missing, click on this clip made in Alexandria today and see Stan's classmate demonstrate the power of the north wind combined with a weak mind.
