GRACE UNCENSORED

oh, the photos

i haven’t been writing because i’ve been in florida.  key largo, to be exact.  we left monday morning and got back late last night, and i took SO MANY PHOTOS.  a RIDICULOUS amount of photos, and i have to look at them and do all the stuff with them so i can start putting them up here.

SO MANY PHOTOS, many of them of pelicans.  there were many pelicans and i think they’re very funny birds and there were a bunch of them right outside our hotel and more other places.

it is always nice to go someplace.  it has been very cold down in the keys, “cold” of course being relative.  yesterday we had lunch at an outdoor little place and it was about 60 outside and one of the wait staff was wearing a parka with a hoodie underneath.

the night clerk at our hotel grew up in the keys and moved “way up” to orlando for a while but had to get back to her keys.  she couldn’t believe that people were swimming in the pool because it was so cold…we swam in the pool, which was heated, and we got in the hot tub.  during the day the hot tub was too hot, but at night it felt great.  bordering on too hot, but nice because it was a little nippy outside.

it was a good time to get away especially because i’d just had an unfortunate weekend.  i auditioned for a play and i didn’t feel that the audition went so well, and right afterwards i was calling randy on my phone as i flew down 6th street…and then i told him i had to go because i was about to get a ticket.

the cop pulled right out of the parking lot and told me that i’d probably been going so fast because i was on the phone, but i said “no, it’s because i just had an audition.”  i was going 44 in a 30, and i always go that fast or faster.  today i was driving along, going maybe even a little faster and i suddenly remember the ticket and said to myself GRACE YOU’D BETTER SLOW DOWN.  it’s hard to remember when you’re used to roaring along.

so a bad audition (and i was right; it WAS bad and i didn’t get in the show) followed by a speeding ticket…not such a good weekend.

here’s a couple of photos that i took with my phone of our trip.  i was going to post them when we were there because i thought the hotel had a computer you could use, but they didn’t.

here’s a pelican on top of the boat where the guy was playing music during happy hour at the outside bar.

this is a view from one of our bedroom windows.

and from the other bedroom window, the pool and hot tub.  there was a couple from australia in the pool one day, but mostly we had it all to ourselves.

maybe i’ll only put up a few select photos, after i go through all of them.  TOO MANY PHOTOS.  i love my new camera.

mollie was VERY VERY HAPPY to see us when we got home last night.  and it’s a little warmer here, so maybe spring is arriving.

ok then,

saturday grace.
