Another blue sky day!!

It has warmed up nicely and we are enjoying lovely sunny blue skies for the most part.  Seems like we had a busy first week or so back to FL just catching up with friends who we haven't seen for a little while.  Most of them are from "up north" - either Holland or Charlevoix so it's not like it's been since last year but it is always good to get together with friends.  Larry and I had a nice boat ride Sunday afternoon.  Went to the Green Flash for lunch then rode into South Seas Plantation Resort to look around.  Usually we see at least one dolphin there but not that day.  We had seen quite a few dolphin on the way - through the "narrows" - one pair looking like they were having a blast following at the transom of a boat and occasionally jumping into the air.  We rode up to North Captive to the ice cream shop but it looks like they are not opening for this year.  Too bad, we loved to stop there after lunch.  Besides the good ice cream it was a fun place to go - just behind Barnacle Phil's.  The breeze was a little cool but the sun was very warm so it was a very nice ride!

We are looking forward to ALL of our nieces coming down this weekend.  8 of them between 9 and 35 yrs. old.  Should be lots of fun.  They arrive late Friday night and are here through Monday afternoon.  We have a lot planned for them.  This was "Uncle Larry's" idea and I think he's just as excited about it as the girls seem to be!  I'll try to put some pictures from the weekend on my next blog.

My goal this winter is to try to "plug in" a couple places a little better.  I am helping in the nursery at Lifeline Family Center one afternoon a week.  It's fun to get to know the kids and babies there.  Also, we have been attending Cape Christian Fellowship for the past few years but don't really know anyone there so I am trying to plug into a woman's bible study group.  I think there is one that meets every other Tues. morning that might work out but the leader is sick and so had to skip this week.  I'll try to keep you "posted" on how that goes as well.

Otherwise, we are putting up with the same sunny skies day after day..................  :-).  Sorry, just had to rub it in a little!!  :-)
