Saturday morning up and on the road thru central Florida to North Redington Beach. Came across the Skyline Bridge and it was such a gorgeous day with the sun shining and many, many boats on the water. Checked into Far Horizons and it felt a little bit like being home. Hit the grocery store for that peanut butter and other favourites to have in the fridge. So nice to unpack a suitcase, eat out of a real fridge and cook some meals. The past few days have been sunny and in the mid 80's. Morning walk on the beach, swim, read, snooze. Can't get any better.
Have connected with a few people in the area, Beth and Pete, Jo and Marlene. Supper at each other's units, social time on the beach, dinner at Wahoo's and lunch at the Green Sage Cafe have made the time go quickly. Lots of stingrays in the water this year so the "stingray shuffle" is a must when entering the water. A few dolphins have passed by, lots of seagulls and the pelicans doing their dives. It is a great place to people watch as you see all sorts and shapes. Spent some time on the beach with Jeannie, Melanie and Maryanne yesterday. Got caught up on the news at home.

On the home front it has been busy - skyped Jeff and the kids, Katja started a new job, Anita finished her course, baby brother Alan's birthday, Greg has the bathroom at the cottage all torn a part, Paul"s 60th birthday, Leslie is selling like crazy at the store and will soon be retired, Dennis is in Ireland and there is still snow at home.
