Glad to be in Florida

The weather in Chicago is going to be historic and we are so grateful to be in Florida.

We have checked on all of the kids tonight and everyone is home, warm and safe.

I've closed the Township for Wednesday and Thursday for the protection of our staff.

We had a nice day.  After breakfast, we made arrangements to go to Miami Beach's South Beach to meet our new cousin Malcolm Bishop, who will be in the states for a few days.  We will be staying at the Gates Hotel (Hilton by Doubletree) on South Beach, where Malcolm is staying. Cousin Rick and Elaine will join us for dinner (driving down from Boca Raton).  Waiting to hear from Cousin Jeff and Judy, and hoping that it will work for them to join us also. 

Malcolm is a second cousin whom we found through DNA on Ancestry.com.  He was raised in Wales and did not know that he was 41% Jewish until he did his DNA.  We have common great grandparents.

After lunch, we, and our mah jongg set, walked across the street to play mah jongg with Arlene, Joan and Ethel.  Terry and I both had a nice afternoon and had some mah jonggs.

Afterward,  we went to Bonefish for their Tuesday special.  We all had salmon, a salad, two sides, and dessert.  Terry and I brought our dessert (brownies) home and ate the ice cream in the restaurant.

Just finished watching Finding Your Roots.  I'm finishing the crossword from yesterday and will start today's paper and then the crossword.
