Dear Maria: - We got here fine, only I was carsick from Olive on down. Drank a gallon of hot water and soda and feel fine now. Lots of excitement over a big boat grounded right near the house. Two other boats trying to pull it out. Awfully warm- lots warmer than home and ocean very quiet. Has been up but not near walk. Take care of yourself and the kitties.
Lovingly, Jeffie.Language
