April 6 - April 11, 2014

On the beach again enjoying a cold drink. Have been doing the usual things almost every day - early morning walk on the beach, coffee, beach time, reading, swimming and just relaxing. There are a ton of high school kids around and it is fun to watch the football games, volleyball games and just the drama that goes on with teens. They are well behaved and having fun. One night we heard this noise on the beach and it kept getting louder and louder - looked out and there had to be 100 kids on the beach. Pete and Beth arrived on Sunday after leaving Amherst on Fri at noon - they drove a lot each day. Monday was the wind storm on the beach and we didn't stay very long. We were covered in suncsreen  and sand, it was an afternoon for the deck.  On Tues it just poured rain so the Estabrooks, Vanvulpens and we went to Ellenton to the Outlet Malls - Bernie had a hay day. Lunch at Woody's on the Bay and then Joe, Pete, Bernie and Jen went to the Toronto - Tampa hockey game. Tampa won and Toronto is out of the playoffs. On Thurs Gisele and Fred came for a beach visit  (on the deck as the wind was strong again) and then Paul and Judy showed up. Paul and Judy stayed for 2 nights and we had a great time relaxing under our umbrellas on the beach, dinner at Petey-Joe's, Investment meeting of the boys on the beach, lunch at Mango's, swimming and socializing . P and J headed to Orlando Fri afternoon and they fly out on Sat morning. Great to have them here
