We had a very nice weekend with Cindy and Boyd. They came over on Saturday afternoon and the four of us enjoyed the sunshine and hung out, then had an early dinner. We had every intention on going sailing on Sunday but there was absolutely no wind, so we stayed at the dock.

Bill was supposed to go to DC for a follow up doctors appointment on Monday but US Airways overbooked the flight so he got bumped until Tuesday. Since his appointment was supposed to be first thing in the morning and by the time he was bumped from the Monday flight the office was closed, he went to the airport Tuesday and called to get an appointment later in the day. The doctors office looked up his records and told him he doesn't have to be back for six months -- the complete opposite of what they told him two weeks ago!! So - he didn't end up getting on the flight afterall. Very frustrating.

Tuesday Bill and I made a decision. We are in Lauderdale for another few weeks at least. We are planning on spending the summer in St. Petersburg, FL. So... yesterday we went to CarMax and got a boat car! It is a 2002 Ford Escape - perfect for grocery shopping and doing errands. On the way home we thought about all the things we can do with a car; eat Taco Bell, explore some of the neighborhoods around Ft. Lauderdale, visit Miami, go and see Bill's mom in St. Pete (which we are doing Thursday), go grocery shopping without having to take a cab, pick Andrea up at the airport (she is visiting later this month!), go to Target, visit the Boggesses in Boyton and the Taylors in Largo.... We are very happy.
