Conch Farm

Good Morning~

We made the 16-hour Jeep trip from Tennessee to Key West safely and in much need of some rest and relaxation. After our initial reunion with old friends, we made it to a cool, quiet slumber around 4AM??! Geez. Where's the rest and relaxation?

Anyway, all is well. Of course, it wouldn't be August in South Florida & The Keys, if there wasn't a Tropical Storm (FAY) or Hurricane brewing somewhere in the Tropics- and here it comes. We are being told Key West is in the "3-Day Cone", with more information being available tomorrow.

If it looks as though the heavy rain-bands will flood our little island, it may be the opportunity for a real Road Trip- Key West to Park City?

Hmmmmm- I think Kristy is asking for rain. Go figure.

As for today, the weather is spectacular and we are going over to a friends house who just left his home in the Bahamas (avoiding FAY for a few more days) to swim in his pool, which he equipped with a wonderful "Chiller". A chiller cools the pool. Everything in Key West is usually the opposite of every normal thought process. Pool water, as well as the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico get so hot down here, it's like jumping into a hot bath. Needless to say, it is not the most refreshing form of relief.

I need a ice box. Found it.

PS- More about our Hilton Head experience- once the taste Romper Room leaves my brain.

Many Cheers~
