Sunset From Fort Myers Beach

Though, I cannot be there in person to enjoy the view as the sun sets in the west, I do have a vicarious ally.

Fort Myers Beach is truly a bird sanctuary!

Hope to walk that way again some day...

All of these taken with an iPhone...captured beautifully by a photographer with an eye. Thank you, Miriam.

What's A Daughter To Do?

So, what do you do when your vacation has been cut short by an uncooperative pet? You join your mother, father and aunt for a birthday (mom) celebration by way of Mexican food and a mariachi band.

They were good and much fun to listen to and watch.

Happy Birthday, mom!

Sleeping Like a Baby

My little precious is still wiped out from her ordeal.

Hello Vacation....Uh, Goodbye Vacation

Friends, we had such hopes for our vacation in Fort Myers Beach. It was going to be lovely. We were going to enjoy walks on the beach and sunsets.

Enjoying a walk to the end of our beach area.

Our end of the beach was calm and quiet. Very relaxing - the way it should be.

View from our balcony.

 The birds were so much fun to watch. Glad to see their protection is important.

Lots of birds - fun to watch.

 I just loved the pelicans perching in the trees! Fantastic!

Something about pelicans perched on the trees...

 Emma and Miriam enjoying the sunset. This is what it's all about!

Thank you, Lee County, for the warning. I will definitely shuffle my feet!

Do as the sign says...

 Need I say more?

There's something about the beach...

These first two days were a wonderful beginning to a week in paradise. Then....

...Peanut decided that she wasn't suited to be kenneled away from home. Yesterday morning we received communication that she had tried to climb, chew and claw her way out. Another night of this and who knows if she would still be with us. So, off to the airport to rent a car. Drove home in record time and rescued poor Peanut from her self destructiveness. As always, the UF Vet school was very accommodating and saw Peanut this morning. We now have her on some meds to heal infection and help with pain. As soon as she is feeling better, we will determine the specific dental work needed to fix her broken teeth. Never again will she be kenneled anywhere other than home. Game and match to Peanut.

Now, I'm tired and going to bed.

Ciao.

A Blanket of Blossoms

Our front yard has been beautiful this year! The crepe myrtles were overwhelmed with blossoms!

We had been looking for a new door mat and found one we loved!

Ciao.
