Sunset at Starbucks

Once out, don't forget to look around. . . the wires got in the way, but the sunset was still beautiful.

Walk to bridge to see the ducks

 Florida has canals everywhere. No shortcuts down any streets here.
As you can see from the palm tree, the wind was blowing and there were dark clouds.
The pictures may be a bit blurry because of the wind.
 Look what I found on the bank.  Lots of ducks and Egrets.

I always need a bird fix. The birds were busy chirping when I went to bed last night at 2 a.m.
I didn't hear them this morning (rain coming?) so I went to find the ducks.
I didn't have far to go.  But I knew the weather would turn quickly, so I turned around and went back.
As soon as I entered the clubhouse to give a shout out.  It began to pour. There were only some dark clouds.  Therefore, it stopped shortly and the sun came back out. 
Off I went to home.

Enjoy your week.
Blessings,
Janet

Hurricane survivor

Albeit the eye may have gone over the Keys, but the brunt of the hurricane was here in So. FL so much that we were featured on TWC.


The words Feeder Band and Training are not wonderful words to hear!!!
Some of us are still underwater.

Thought for the Week: One can complain because rosebushes have thorns or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.

Vacation August 6 2012


After traveling to Savannah, Gastonia and Asheville, we stopped at Ormand Beach on the way home.  The cutest quilt shop and the fabulous view over the Intracoastal to reach it was refreshing. FL is truly paradise and here is a preview.

The Pirates House - Savannah

On the first night out, we stopped for dinner at The Pirates House.  The meal was delicious and the Long Island type Tea was extraordinary.  The Pirate gal came in to give us the history of the place and how it came about.  You can read about the history here.





She carried a Gold Pirate gun and wanted me to come with her. . . uh, NO!  The history of the place was awesome, please do go into the link above.

On our way home, we stopped at a restaurant on the river and watched the container shipping boats go back and forth.  Savannah has the 4th largest port in the USA.

Blessings,
Janet
