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.

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...
