Whew, time continues to fly by, and now we’re in May, although it feels a little bit like late March because suddenly it’s a little bit chilly. A real roller coaster of weather we’ve been having this spring. So…way back in march a huge flotilla...

I got up ridiculously early on Wednesday, Jan. 28th. The thing is, the ocean was visible from the backyard but I didn’t notice it til getting up so early. This was only 7:30 in the morning. I don’t see that hour very often if I can avoid it. I took a video...

It was chilly and windy on Monday in Florida, as expected. We had a leisurely morning enjoying the lanai overlooking the pool. And we finally managed to get into the car to go to the beach at the crack of 1:23. We headed to the Englewood beach, which was completely...

The weather was about to get chilly in Florida, so I figured we’d better take a boat ride and maybe see some dolphins on Sunday, Jan. 25th. But first, of course, we had to go to the grocery store. Aldi, this time, and it was a fine and large Aldi and right down...

Saturday March 24th, we started the day at the beach, managing to get there before noon, which was quite something. Really, we hurried because Amy was leaving that day and we had to get back and drive her to the airport. We went up to the Blind Pass beach again and it...

First, let me say that today, March 6th, the weather is crazy warm and wonderful and I’m going to go for a run in a minute. Yes, it’s too warm for this time of year, but it’s also completely awesome. It also makes me want to rush outside and plunge...

Today is Mom’s BIG DAY!!! Whoo hoo, she’s doing so awesome as she starts her 9th decade. Much, much merriment, including a delicious fish dinner that Kevin prepared last night (a very historic event, indeed); we took the food over and ate at Mom’s...

Well…we didn’t make it to the beach til mid-afternoon on that first day, Jan. 22nd. First of all, Amy and I took a little walk because I was trying to find a nearby nature place called the Lemon Bay Conservancy and I’m looking it up on google maps...

Before Mom, Amy and I went to Florida in January, I decided to buy a sun shelter for the beach. The beach is my absolute favorite place, but I don’t want any rays of the sun to touch my skin. Mostly. On previous trips that Mom and I have taken to Florida we had...

I haven’t had the mental fortitude to start looking through the many photos I took on our trip to Florida at the end of last month, so here are a few non-Florida pictures. First, maybe I’ve mentioned that we’ve been worried about Lester for several...

It seems like we’ve already had lots more snow this winter than years in the recent past. Here’s the snowdrift on top of the grill way back at the beginning of December. You can just see the eyes of the cute little snail. And for a while, late at night...
