While the D parks are all decorated for the fall season, Florida residents are right smack in the middle of summer. It's frigging hot and humid outside, and only 9:30 in the morning. I almost feel that the Food and Wine Festival is the start of the fall season here. Still in shorts and t-shirts even then, but it gets me in the mood for the holidays. Quick update. Been a rough couple of days. Albee has been really sick. With him being 15 years old now, it really scared me. Thankfully he seems to be doing much better today and even went for a walk with us this early morning. Also, A/C went out yesterday which was HELL. Had to replace the entire unit. Yes, we are in a new house and only 2 weeks outside of our warrenty. Can't even think of the money...Again, not the best week for the Phillips-Richards household but it is done and over.
