Florida Sunday
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 the street, in the same strip mall where we'd had a delicious Thai dinner. I found a cruise that sounded good, and it wasn't far away. It was called Gasparilla Boat Tours, and I highly recommend it. We took a sunset cruise. There were many pelicans all around in the harbor and I had to take many photos because I love them.

Another sunset in paradise…

Florida Friday
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...
Drunk Beach Yoga plus another sunset
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...
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...
