Friday and Saturday, Feb., 13 & 14. 2009

It's Saturday evening and we are tired. Two days of travel, in the car.
Friday we drove to Fort Myers to see my brother and sister-in-law. We enjoy visiting them there as they have a great view of their big pond and a lovely condo. Sara fixed a sumptuous seafood anniversary dinner for us. Shrimp, scallops, stone crabs, tomato aspic and key lime pie with strawberries for dessert. All very delicious!!!
Their condo is for sale. A good day visiting.

Saturday, back down the highway to Punta Gorda where friends from Anderson are staying for a few weeks. We checked out a garage sale, nothing there, and then drove around before stopping at the Fisherman's Wharf. A great place to go and look.
My pocket book is not deep enough for the prices in the speciality shops, but we had fun looking and deciding who could wear what. Did get some post cards. Our daughter said the children in some of her classes at IPS Elementary school did not know anything about a post card. So, I am looking for some showing the sand and surf. Found one about shells, and another about sharks teeth. I got one of those for myself so I could learn more about sharks teeth also. Found another that has a snow scene on one side and a beach scene on the other. Same side of card. Has "you" written on the snow side and "me" on the beach side. Is that rubbing it in or what? A little cooler this afternoon, but still nice. The place where our friends are staying belongs to friends of theirs. They filled two bags with tangerines from the tree in the back yard. They are sweet and good.

Tomorrow we leave and go back to Charlies place in Thonotosassa. We doubt if we come back to this campground. We got a special deal on it, for one week and Why Not? It is nice enough and made it closer to my brother and our friends. AND the BEACHES. Which I liked. Still we prefer a smaller campground and at this point do not require shuffle board, golf etc. to keep us happy. We are on the go a lot and not
in the campground enough to use those facilities. Soo who knows what tomorrow brings. Everyone have a happy day. JKC
