Someone call the Fire Truck!

Last night Pat and Harold's daughter Kaitlyn and her husband Tanner and their cute little girl Ava arrived in Florida from Manitoba.  They flew into Orlando and P & H picked them up there. They didn't get back to Three Lakes until after I was tucked up in bed so I had to wait till this morning to say hello.   Little Ava sure has grown since we saw her in October.  They are ready to enjoy some Florida sun.

Pat, Kaitlyn, Ava, and Tanner and of course Charlie

This is why they are escaping beautiful Manitoba for a while.  Wow that is cold.

One of our new acquisitions is the Instant-pot.  Sue bought a 3 quart one the other day and has been doing eggs and stuff in it to try it out.  Today she threw in some frozen pork chops and God only knows what else for veggies and started it up.  Now I don't know a lot about cooking, but I was just a little concerned for my supper when I saw this message come up.  The darn thing doesn't cook any better than I do!!!

After the smoke cleared and the thing cooked for about a half hour, out came some of the most delicious pork chops with broccoli and potatoes in a mushroom gravy.  MMMMMM good.  These things are amazing.  And because the sun was shining our batteries were still 100% charged when it was done.

Later in the evening we all enjoyed a bonfire again.  We always have some good conversations, (and sometimes not so good ones) around the bonfire.    We are absolutely loving it here but we know that it won't be long and it will be time to move on.  My how time flies when your having a good time.

This was my view out the window as I went in for the night.  A few stragglers left enjoying the almost full moon light.
