PEI crew - Fred, Gisele, Jen, Mary Louise and Jim cooling off in a backyard pool in Belleair Bluffs, Florida. Memories of the last week - walks on the beach, the water warming up every day, boat ride on the inland water way with friends, being towed in same boat, Sea Critters Cafe at Pass a Grill, dinner at Petey-Joes on the beach with Amherst crew, golfing at Bardmore Golf Course, girls on the green and parring the hole, meeting Brian and Gayle from Antigonish, today cool and cloudy and people in long sleeves, watching the exciting end to the Masters (Aussie won), chicken wings from Win Dixie, Skyping the kids on Aaron's birthday, umbrella time on the beach, playing in the waves, Sat shopping with Bernie, barbeques, daily talks with Susie our housekeeper, people watching on the beach, going to sleep with the sound of the waves in the background, not buying gas for two weeks, booking our room for next year, sand between our toes, cold beer, and just relaxing. Beth, Jen, Marilyn and Marlene

It's a boy !! Baby and Katja are healthy and everything on track. Only 4 more months to wait !! Played our first golf game in St. Pete's this year and the game went well - beautiful day, good company and relatively good scores. The sun is shining and Bernie is barbecuing pork chops.

Fantastic show - lots of energy and familiar music. Bernie saw the show in New York in 1971 and it was much the same. Even the nude scene was interesting - blue and black low lights. Bernie back safe and sound, walk on the beach, return the rental, grocery shopping, St. Pete's Beach Artisan Show,Bad Ass coffee, all the spring breakers have gone home, the Amherst crowd down the beach has arrived, umbrellas on the beach, swimming, the green flash at sunset, first barbecued steak of the year, watching the Country Music Awards, trying to find cold medication for Bernie's cold, Skyping the kids, the daily sirens thru the streets, the bells of the ice cream truck, the dolphin gliding thru the water - memories of the day
