Saturday in Florida
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 was pretty danged crowded, but a good time was had by all. The night before I'd been looking online for things to do in Englewood and happened upon the Lemon Bay Playhouse, which was doing the play "The Sweet Delilah Swim Club." Hmm, weird.

A very short trip
On December 8th we spent the night at Starved Rock State Park. Just one night, but it was incredible to get out of town, something we hadn't done since our trip to Glacier in September of 2019....

The Mystery of the Missing Gift Bags
First of all...I have no business sitting here on the couch but I'm trying to give myself a break. The most important thing is that Kevin somehow managed to get everything on the porch plugged in so...
Six More Days…
Yeah. Six. Not many. I woke up earlier than I wanted to this morning because my mind was exploding a little bit about all the stuff I have to get done this week. I've been blearily sitting here on...
