sweet as spring takes this beach

A few weeks ago I escaped the endless winter that the northeast has been experiencing for a lovely long weekend in Fort Lauderdale. Florida pretty much greeted me and my winter coat with a lovely warm weather hug and told me to enjoy having flip flops on and short sleeves for a few days. Oh it was magical for sure, I was down with friends and enjoyed afternoons on the beach or pool side, outdoor dinners and a concert by Sting and Mr. Paul Simon. That weekend was just what the doctor ordered, gave me just enough taste of summer to make it through back in the cold. I’d like to make this an annual pilgrimage – a long warm weather weekend to escape the toils of winter. Maybe this is how I eventually become a snowbird…
