Winter madness: Raising a ruckus in Ruskin!!

[hoover1060]

This is the week that quite a number of us have descended on Terry's place here in Ruskin Florida. We've been here since Tuesday, escaping the single digit temperatures of Chicago for the balmy climate of central Florida.
So far we're having a blast!
Here's our plane, we flew TED, and and a wonderful flight

Greeting ladies, er I mean laddies......
Best wishes to all for a SMASHING GOOD TIME as we freeze our petunia off up here.

Wonderful to see all of you having fun!

Now Terry, we know you are the host with the most, but TRY not to lose your pants this time, OK?

Of course we'd love to see more faces posted, but also the food items and a recipe or two. Oh and any unique vacs wouldn't hurt!

Best regards all,
-Steve

KEEP ON SMILING!
