Sunday Salon and an Excursion

 Good morning from Florida and offering up apologies. I have not answered any comments or emails yet again--these 5 days off have not been relaxing at all, sigh.

from our friend's vacation, he/Bob was sending photos of their campsite at Flagler Beach BEFORE the hurricane that took this area out.

TIME: 7 AM

SCENE: According to the Weather. com it is 70*, humidity 96%, dewpoint 69* and 66% chance of rain today.

Drinking: My first cup of coffee with Italian Creamer.

What's for Dinner? Leftovers

Thinking/Pondering: So, we had to go back out to our friends Bob and Kim's yesterday to get our lawn equipment (funny, my husband came down here with no lawn equipment and he has since collected a fortune in this equipment). SO, Bob goes, "Hey, you all want to go over to the end of the Earth?" (Huh?)---I shouted, "OH! CEDAR KEY!" (He knew I would get it --we have the same dry humor, lol) so off we go. Cedar Key is only a short 68-mile drive AND has about 1,000 year around citizens.

I did pinpoint our location.

Just give you a perspective on where Cedar Key is.

taken off the internet

Yes, it does feel like you're dropping off the face of the Earth. Cedar Key is a little island on Florida's west coast on the Gulf of Mexico.

They have public parking, the rest you walk. Over the walking bridge we go.

It was an overcast day, nonetheless, it was 75*, beautiful, a little nippy at times, but it was nice.

I couldn't quite capture the charm. It has been like nearly 40 years since I have been here--NOTHING has changed grin. That would be Kim photobombing me--she likes to walk fast--me, I prefer to walk slow and enjoy the Gulf breezes and the smells of the Gulf. ANYWAYS---she was waiting for me; the guys were in the public restrooms. You know, I have to say, I like that about Florida, there are public restrooms, nice ones at that.

We had lunch at Steamers. I had fish and chips, and it was very good.

That would be Kim and Bob. My husband is standing under the sign. Now you know where our Godson gets his size from; his dad, lol.

Our son would have gotten a kick out of the sign (Liam and Madis). He actually knew a girl named Maddie, LOL. 

So, while they went to get ice-cream (later in the day), I sat here in the boat parking lot and enjoyed the bay. If you look --you will see the walking bridge, we walked to get onto Cedar Key.

Needless to say, we did NOT get to the thrift stores yesterday. Grin

P.S. I still can't wrap my head around the very fact while some of you are wearing sweaters and jackets, we are still wearing shorts and flip flops. I might have said this a few times yesterday, it sure seems surreal. lol

Saturday Morning Post...

 Good morning from a balmy central Florida. It looks to be another warm and humid day and it seems so odd to me to be wearing shorts, flips flops and or bare feet and still having the central ac on.

I am trying to get into swing of things i.e. the Florida lifestyle which most def. does not require jackets and mittens. 

Our Godson Bobby and my husband. 37 years with that boy, watched him grow up from a naked child running around in the backyard to the fine man that he is. He followed in my husband's footsteps and joined the Marines. Now he is a Sheriff's Deputy. My husband took his duties as Godfather very seriously, lol.

Yesterday's Thanksgiving feast with our friends was very nice. She served turkey, ham, bacon wrapped asparagus, green beans, carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy, homemade bread and the most delicious homemade cheesecake I have ever had. Kudos to Kim who can rock the kitchen, just saying.

Ha, maybe. We will be off shortly today is thrift store 'window shopping'. Since my husband threw out all my Christmas wreathes when we moved, I do need one for the front door. Thank you for the kind comments it truly warms my heart.
