Neighbors make fine escape

This morning we lodged inquiries as to the whereabouts of two respected neighborhood couples, the Storys and the Gerkens. We received a prompt response from sunny Florida, thanks to Sandy's considerable communication skills.
Herewith:
Stan,
Got your message today. Things in Ft. Myers are going well. We toured the Edison & Ford Winter Estates this afternoon and as luck would have it Henry & Clara Ford came by and agreed to a photo with all of us in front of the main house.
We are enjoying the FL weather, it has been about perfect ... Actually warmer then normal for January (no complaints from us). We haven't forgotten our friends "up north" ... Abbey Point comes up in our conversations quite often.
Not sure a week here will be enough, but I guess that is all we get.
Hope all is well with you and Kathleen,
Tom & Sandy, John & Mary
