February 11th - Saturday - Very windy and cool - Frost Warnings tonight

We are inside this evening and enjoying our furnace and watching movies on Hallmark. We will be leaving here on Monday morning so thought this was a good opportunity to post the pictures that Lou took with his camera of the different types of ships that have come up the St. John River since we have been here. It still amazes me the diversity of ships that pass.

I have tried to label the pictures the best that we could. Enjoy.

If all goes as we have planned, we will leave here early Monday morning for Davenport, FL and will stay there for five days and spend four days at Disney from there we have not made definite plans. Should be a great place to celebrate Valentine's Day.
