Florida

We're back from an incredible time in Florida!
Barry and Kathy are wonderful hosts. They made sure we were comfortable and happy - and we were!
Kathy prepared us a most perfect Thanksgiving dinner.. the picture I took of it didn't do it justice. She also prepared scrumptious meals the rest of the time we were there.
They took us to the Sarasota Jungle Gardens where we saw all kinds of beautiful birds, monkeys, alligators and snakes. We walked around town, went to the beach, the park, and hung out at the house, where Sasha had lots of fun swimming in the pool and playing with the dogs, and James and Barry had their endless talks about Math and Science!
It was a fun, warm and relaxing time for us. Thank you so much!

Sasha loved playing with these incredibly cute dogs. Here's a Pomeranian named Muffin:



And a Pekingese named Boo:

She's getting really good at posing so sweetly for the camera:

When we got back, my sister Jaleh, (who's in town for Thanksgiving) came over to visit with her half-sister, Anna:
