Unfortunately the cold weather trend continued into and throughout February. Jim's comment about the month was "there were five days above 65 degrees and two days that the wind didn't blow 15 mph or more; I put on shorts twice".

On Friday, February 5, our friends, Jim and Sue, joined us for dinner at JoJo's and Richard Nader's Doo Wop and Rock & Roll concert at the Sunrise Theater. The performers were fantastic and the memories of some of the songs came flooding back. The performers and song highlights were: Sonny Geraci of Climax and the Outsiders -- Precious & Few, Time Won't Let Me; Danny & The Juniors -- At the Hop, Rock 'n' Roll Is Here to Stay; The Chiffons (original lead singer with her daughter and niece as backup) -- One Fine Day, He's So Fine, Sweet Talkin' Guy; Jay Siegel and the Tokens -- The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Portrait of My Love, Tonight I Fell in Love; Jay Traynor of Jay & the Americans -- She Cried.

On Saturday, February 6, we watched the Mardi Gras Parade with our friends on M/V Shangri-La, Dave and Laurie, and Laurie's parents from cold Wisconsin. This parade was funky last year and didn't disappoint us this year. At the rate we're going, Su will have an entire drawer filled with beads!

On Sunday, February 7, we dined and watched the Superbowl at Jim and Sue's home in Vero Beach. Her chili was excellent; however, the best part of the day was that all of us were healthy and able to be in the same room together.
