Lending a Helping Hand to Our Friends in Florida

Florida is a sunny warm place.

We have been in Port Richey, Florida for over a week. 

Every morning , we woke up to sunny warm weather with temperature always hovering at around high 70 to 80 degrees F. It has not rain a day during our 9 days visit here. 

This precisely why we have Snow Birds, Canadians who come down to Florida and spend their winter months here.

Many of these Snow Birds buy vacation homes here and if they are retired, they spend their winter in Florida from around December to March/ April.

Our friends own  a home here but have not traveled and stayed in their vacation home for a period of time. 

We came down to give the family a hand to fix up the house and do whatever that needed to be done in order to beautify their place.

We were busy for a few days, removing grown branches around doors, scrubbing and painting.

We worked hard starting after breakfast, taking a break for lunch and resuming work again. 

It was a work party and not too bad except when the sun beat down on us in the afternoon when it got really hot.

We set our goals of what we needed to do.

We painted the front and most part of the house.

We gave the house a face lift and

were proud that we achieved what we have set out to do.

All work no play makes Jack a dull boy.  After we did our work, it was time to play and see Florida!
