Running and Flying
I got up even earlier to go for one last run on Saturday March 1st. I was out the door at the crack of 9 a.m. Pelicans were lined up along the seawall while across the way workers worked on continuing to fix the place up after the hurricane. I ran all the way to the jetty yet again and there were quite a few people, plus this pelican taking off. I can't recall if I forgot to eat anything before running, but I do know that I had some money with me. I stopped at the little cafe at my end of the beach but decided against it, and pressed on. This is the very first day this jetty had been open...

Another sunset in paradise…
Friday evening, Feb. 28th, we'd left the beach for a bit to cruise the shopping in Venice one more time, and afterwards drove down to the end of our beach for a different vantage point. Plenty of...
Florida Friday

Casey Key
On the afternoon of the 27th We drove up Casey Key, which is just up the road from our place and right on the beach. It reminded me of Captiva Island, which had huge mansions lining the drive. But...
Beach beach beach
I went running on the beach again on the 27th. I was going to only run every other day because I'd hurt my leg a few weeks before, but then I decided I'd be fine, running on the soft sand. This time...
All-Day Celebration on Mom’s birthday
We walked over to Pop's for breakfast at the crack of 11:30 a.m. to start the festivities for Mom's big day. Grits and scrambled eggs for both of us, plus I splurged on a glass of delicious Florida...
First Day in Nokomis, FL
Somehow I didn't leave our place near the beach til after 1:00 in the afternoon. I slept in. I ran over the bridge over the causeway and this line of pelicans was perched on the little dock. I can't...

Arrival in Venice, Florida
We left Springfield on the afternoon of Monday February 24th and I can't tell you how awesome it was to get chauffeured by Kevin to the Springfield airport, ridiculously easy security with no line,...
