Fort Lauderdale / Aruba

Got to Randy and Barbara's place and went to a local bar/ice skating rink, where we saw the little ones practicing ice hockey...too cute. We saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (ok...hard to follow British spy movie). Visited with Eddie's cousin's Michael & Barbara and Linda & Marty and had dinner with them. Then we saw another movie Sherlock Holmes, which we really liked. Next day Eddie test drove convertibles to see which one he likes best, we are still doing our comparative studying. Saw the movie Contraband and went to Aruba's for dinner and caught a really great band in Lauderdale by the Sea and continued on to our friends Joe and Gary.

Visited our friends Joe and Gary in Fort Lauderdale and had a great time. Took a 1.1 mile walk to the Bonnet House, the first house in Fort Lauderdale. It is a plantation style and the couple were both artists in their own right, though only Mr Bartlett sold his art and did very well. Check out the website (their pics are better than ours) http://www.bonnethouse.org/

We are now in Aruba (no pics taken yet as it's been kinda cool and rainy ! This is a desert island and it rained yesterday and today...amazing).

We are staying in a beautiful room with Eddie's cousin's Mark and Diane Elkins. Went to a great place for dinner and sat outside. The fresh Grouper was yummy. Today we got up AT 10AM, worked out and went to the beach today and had dinner in. Life is good !
