Why it's called Paradise!

Well, it's another weather report but I can't help it when it's the perfect day.  We got up and walked over to the coffee shop for "breakfast" and it was just SOOOO nice!!  Blue sky, 75 degrees and just a very light breeze.  (Sorry to all of you in the cold north!!).  We went in time to get back for church but ran into a "friend" and got talking so........ didn't make it back home in time.  :-(  I think I can listen to the message on a pod-cast later though.  :-)

Larry has to do some traveling this week so I will try to get some "stuff" done and maybe see some friends in the area too.  Then Jamie and the kids will be here on Friday!!  Can't wait!!  But I will enjoy my "quiet" days until they get here and try to have things ready for when they are here. 

Sorry we missed the Hilldore "postponed" Easter but like Larry said, we were there in spirit.  Hope you all enjoyed it even without us!!

Thursday

Mom and Dad left this morning to head back up north but slowly.  They will visit a few more friends in FL before going back to MI.  Hopefully for them the snow will be done by the time they get back.

Larry and I went down to Naples today to see some friends/customers who are there for "spring break".  We had a nice lunch with the O'Neills.  It always takes longer than I think it should to get there.  Oh well, it was a nice day and we got to eat lunch near the water so it was still fun.

Another blue sky day and warm.  In the 80's.  Not too hard to enjoy the day!!

Blue Skies

After a cloudy start to the day it cleared up and the sky is back to it's usual BLUE!!  I love it!!  We finally got to get out on the boat with mom and dad and went to Salty Sam's and ate at Parrot Key.  Lunch was good as usual.  It was a little bumpy getting home as the North wind seemed to have picked up a bit but still a nice ride.  I think everyone here has agreed that some gelato sounds good tonight.  :-)

Found out this morning that Ben and Amanda can come down to FL for sure for a long weekend while Jamie and the kids are here.  I really looking forward to them all being here!

Another Day in Paradise!

Actually we had a little rain, a little sun and a little wind.  But in the high 70's to low 80's.  Also a full moon tonight that was beautiful.  Mom and Dad are off on another visit with friends.  This time all the way to Ft Myers to visit with the Wheatons.  We had dinner with the Topps tonight.  Otherwise a lazy day for me but Larry had to work hard as usual.

Better weather & Weekend Guests

Well the weather has finally cleared up.  We have had a few beautiful blue sky days!  Also we've had some WPO friends come to visit.  One couple and their daughter from Holland and another couple from Michigan who are in Longboat Key for the winter drove down.  They all stayed in the condos here at Cape Harbour.  We were planning on another couple that were going to stay with us but they had to back out because of sitter problems.  We missed you Bill and Betsi!!  We had a couple nice boating days.  Friday down to Naples and yesterday to Boca Grande.  We rented golf carts there and had fun riding around and to the lighthouses.

Today we get to relax and chill out.  We originally had plans with the group for lunch but they decided to go their own ways today so we are being lazy.  Maybe a little boat ride pretty soon.

Mom and Dad come back tomorrow night and will spend another week and a half.  We'll try to find some fun things to do but they are happy to enjoy the warm weather and read and relax.

Another not-so-sunny day in Florida.  What's going on here??  Oh well, it's still better than 31 degrees in Michigan.  It is supposed to get into the high 70s today so that will feel better.  

Mom and I have BIG plans for a pedicure this morning then like most days just chill.  Oh, maybe a little shopping too, we'll see.  We are really "pushing the envelope" here as Larry likes to say.

Larry's Home

Yeah!!  Picked him up from the airport last night and had dinner on the way home.  We parted ways last Monday morning at the Miami airport after we had to spend an extra night because of flight delays on the way home from a wedding in Puerto Rico.  Larry went to Michigan for a few days then on to LA and I went back to Florida.

We have had a few cool days here but should be getting back into the 70s and 80s in the next few days.  Cloudy skies too but that is usually the exception to our usually sunny, blue sky days here in "sunny" Florida.  But I'll take cloudy and warm over snowy!!  :-)

Saturday

Mom and Dad Spaulding are here this week to visit.  They arrived on Monday and will be here until next Wed. when they will go up to Bradenton to visit some friends.  They will be back the following Monday for another week and a few days.  They are enjoying the warmer weather but last night it rained and got "cold".  Only 67 degrees today!!  It's supposed to be "cold" in the morning but then start warming up again.  Should be back close to 80 again by Tues. 

We drove out to Sanibel tonight to see if we could see big ocean waves but they only looked big out in the distance, not up close to shore.  Then we had dinner on the Island and then came home again.  Back to reading, TV and some crocheting.
