    Actually, when we lived in Miami in the early 70's there was one time that it got cold enough to snow (sort of). I happened to be out early enough that morning and when I looked up at the streetlight, you could see the occasional snowflake drifting down and some of them actually hit the ground but melted in just a few seconds. Here's a photo out the back door of the new house. Hopefully, I will never see it covered with snowBack Yard.jpg

    Thanks mike. It is a beautiful lake and it great sitting out in the Lanai (screened in patio) watching all the wildlife like Wood storks, Egrets, Anhinga, Heron, Cranes, Osprey, Moor Hens, and of course alligators. The only ones I've seen so far have been fairly small, with the largest being about five feet long. Our neighbors say that there's a 8 footer, but I haven't seen him yet. It's in a very nice neighborhood, but the houses are closer together than what I'm used to after living in Georgia for the past 40 years. It's not like if I sneeze, the neighbors yell out "Bless you", but it's closer than I'm used to. We're hoping tp actually make the move on the last day of may. I'll keep you posted.

    Take care and stay safe.

    Jim

    I hear sandhills outside here right now and love the sound!

    I am doing up my tying room right now and am sketching what it would take to replicate that great idea! My son's old bedroom is my tying room and storage is an issue!

    I should be back down in Florida at the end of the month. I would be happy to take some close-up photos and take some measurements and send them your way if you'd like. Just let me know.

    Some extra measurements would be appreciated, thank you for the offer! Also curious about the drawer lay-out and suddenly realized there are options. The drawer guides, if there would be very much of interest, too. Any furniture company labels on the bottom by chance?

    Hap, Here's a rough sketch of the drawer configuration and the the text that's on the brass name plate on the item. I hope this helps. I'll take photos and measurements when I get to Florida and send them your way.
