February is always a fun month in Florida...Azaleas start to bloom, Speed Week starts in Daytona and spreads all over Central Florida, friends are here for the Winter, and a new cruise to go on...what's not to love?  We drove to Ocala to see some dirt races, only to find out when we arrived that the races had been cancelled by rain.  So we drove back home and back the next night.  It is always fun to see the winged sprint cars from all over the US congregate  in Florida...they put on a great show.  2 nights later, they had moved to Barberville, so we went and watched them again...fun evening.

Vince Gill came to town too, brought his group to the Plaza Live and we checked that out too.  On Feb. 17 we drove back to Miami for a 4 day Blues Cruise on Norwegian Pearl with Joe Bonamassa, Ana Popovic, Robben Ford and others entertaining for 4 days while we cruised the Caribbean.  When we got back, we learned Ana was playing in Stuart, so we went home, unloaded the car and drove back to Stuart.  Ana & her band did not disappoint, great entertainer, great Blues...fun evening.

We spent the rest of Feb. getting the screening project completed, going for annual check-ups at our Drs., and getting ready for March...lots going on.  No rest for the weary :).
