A very happy Holiday Season

Merry Christmas, Happy New year to all of you! It's Christmas morning and Tom and I are still in Ft Myers Beach and truly enjoying it! We said a sad "Goodbye" to Bob Frech after a week of great fun.While Bob was with us we had amazing weather and took a three day trip to Captiva island and Cabbage Key. Cabbage Key is a quaint little island with an old inn on it, about ten houses,,and a lodge-y style restaurant where Jimmy Buffet wrote "Cheeseburger in Paradise" The four rooms of the restaurant are covered with one dollar bills and the story goes that fisherman would hang the dollars on the walls and write their names boldly across those dollars to be assured of a cold beer at the end of the day...Back in "the day" the beer ran out before the fisherman's thirst. There is purported to be over $50,000 on those walls today, and yes, we did add to it. Any money that falls off the walls and ceiling is given to charity.
Captiva is charming, has great beaches and has the feel of a Carribean island while being in the U.S. Especially when you go by boat and don't have to deal with the Sannibel Island bridge and traffic!
Today, my daughter, Stephanie and her husband Bob arrive for a week....Team Frech has made a quick turn-around of sheets, towels, re-provisioning supplies etc and are excited to have the kids with us.Good news for all you loyal readers...Bob Walker is a computer guru and I know he'll be able to correct my problem on this website of vanishing pictures. Thank you for journey-ing with us..I promise to write more often in '07'...our itinerary includes the Florida keys in February and then the Bahamas.We hope you are all well and happy...our advice is to "not just dream your dreams, but live them"
Much love, good health and happiness
Pam and Tom Frech
