We flew back home from Orlando on 12/15. It was 75oF when we left and only 15oF when we landed in Cleveland, what a shock. Luckily there was not much snow.

A big thanks to our son-law Brian and his two boys, Jake & John who shoveled the drive to make sure we could get into the garage and to Pam. Sam & Mandy for raking the leaves before they got buried in the snow.

On Saturday our daughter Joan had a big surprise birthday party for me with the help of her siblings, along with our annual holiday party. My 80th birthday is not for a month but we will be back in FL by then, so they wanted to make sure I had a good celebration.
It was great, all my Grandkids also made it. Jeffrey lives in Washington DC, Devan in Barberton, OH and Erika lives in Columbus, OH, so it was really nice that they took the time to help me celebrate my birthday.

They are the best grandkids you could ever wish for.
Now for all my Kayaking friends, get ready for the “80 pirate paddle” on the Upper Yough river in MD. I will supply eye patches for everyone so we are are on equal footing.
Of course I need to wait until the river flow is less than 1000 CFS, which I hope occurs on Memorial Day weekend.
