Florida Monday
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 deserted.

Writing about May in May

Wrapping up April
Kevin dedicates a good portion of his time to keeping the cats in their respective outside areas. He finally thwarted Lester from escaping the fenced yard (but probably only temporarily), and...
April, mostly cats plus a minor explosion
Gee, I'm really on a roll with getting stuff up here for a change. Or course that can and probably will come screeching to a halt again because that's how I roll. Rolling, but only occasionally and...
