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...

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 people were parked in the lot across the street and clearly they...

On our last full day in Venice, I got up at a reasonable hour and sat on the porch drinking my tea before going out. Great way to start the day. As I got ready to go to the beach to run, I found this kernel of corn in my big fanny pack. It made me smile, because this...

I was excited to do yoga on Venice beach, but Mom was still feeling the effects of the strong drink she’d had at the Tiki Bar. Drunk Beach Yoga, I think that should be a thing. Except of course that it totally goes against the whole point of yoga. But hey, we...

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 on Captiva, many of the homes were surrounded by tall walls or...

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 I headed south, towards a jetty. A pelican was perched...

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 orange juice. It was funny to see the place in the day...

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 believe how close we were to beach. I made a little video...

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, and the plane was on time. I only want to fly out of Springfield...
