Arrived in Florida the evening of Feb. 4, 2010 to visit my Mom and friends. Mom was 90 years old this month. Have enjoyed lunching with her, and taking her shopping all over Jacksonville this past three weeks.

Florida bird life is abundant, have spotted goldfinches in abundance, red wing blackbirds, male and female cardinals, dove, bluebirds, tufted titmouse, woodpeckers, herons, blue herons, egrets, ibis, and I think a bunch of storks, but I'm not sure - spotted them from a moving car, they were rather ugly birds and not moving much, cormorants... It's not a complete list, but you get the jist.

Saw "The Fox and the Child". What a beautiful film. Part of it was a bit disturbing, but well worth watching, non the less.

Also am almost done reading "Thousand Pieces of Gold" which I would recommend.

What else? There's bunches to say, but not much time... am using Mom's computer to type this update, and we are getting ready to (what else?) go shopping again. :-)

Bought a little book on blogging so hopefully will make this a more attractive place to visit, and will (again) hopefully, soon add another update.

See you later...
