Tomfoolery's Florida Adventure: DAY 137: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2020: ASH WEDNESDAY

Very hard day... leaving here. Very easy day... heading home for moms birthday. We are so fortunate to be between two worlds. We enjoy life here but look forward to being with family and friends. I just want to be everywhere, all the time.

My last run around the park was today. Jan was running in the opposite direction. We are hoping to run together next season. She is working at completing a 5 K. I would love for her to run the Key West 5 K with me next year. No one else around here runs, but , nearly every person walks in the Pavement Pounders. People are healthy, happy, and no one acts their age. Tom and I are among the youngest, yet these people never stop moving-exercise classes, every kind of dance class you can imagine. Sylvia wants Tom and me to teach Shag next year. I doubt that will happen.

After the run, it was Zumba time! A great high energy class today! Sylvia told everyone it was my last day. Everyone came to say goodbye. Took me 20 minutes to get out of the rec hall. Catherine told me she would muss me standing in front of her. My energy motivates her. Karen said she likes that I do high impact for every song.

It was hard to say bye to Cairne and Blanche. We spend a lot of time together as couples.

Don and Joanne, Carl and Linda will be missed. We wish them all improved health and continued healing. They are true inspirations. They never stop in spite of issues.

At 11 I went to San Pablo's for Ash Wednesday mass. Father was very good. He is truly genuine and easy to listen to.

It is hard to write much about today. We were traveling from The Keys to Fort Lauderdale. On the was we stopped for fuel and the best Reeses Peanut Butter Cup//Chocolate Cappacino ever. Soooo good. Toooo good.

I texted with Joan and Geri. Whew, when we see them next. Hopefully we can make it happen in May. Our good times are memorable.

Debra and John, Guy and Kathy will be with us in Alaska. We look forward to introducing them all to Jann and Bill. I cant even imagine all the memories we will make in 62 Alaskan Days.

Sharon and I texted during our ride to Lauderdale. We are so so happy for her and Paul. She is visiting marinas to winter in next season. How exciting is that!! incredible. I wish we had been able to see her while we were in Lauderdale. Such fun! I love marinas!!
