Over the 4th of July, we traveled to Sanibel Island, a serene beach

In front of Tom & Susan's home it is lush with pulmerias, I love their fragrance

The beach.......

Randy worked a little

I started a puzzle

A sunset through the porch screens (mosquitoes were hungry that weekend)

I finished the puzzle

We walked to the beach, I just love the pathways to the beach on the island

Lots of shells, I looked and left them for the next person to gaze upon them

Watched some birds frolic

Randy fished

and was successful (he also gave the fish back to the gulf)

I mostly gazed at the water

We had a lovely time. We ate out (fish, shrimp, oysters, conch and a Blue Moon or 2) Tom grilled a cow (or 3) Steak is so yummy over charcoal. Eggs & grits (Tom's specialty besides the steak) for breakfast. Randy & Tom ventured into the gulf to try their hand at fishing. I beached and relaxed. I also stood by with extreme envy while Susan bought the exact iPad2 I dream about. We enjoyed a couple of terrific thunderstorms that only happen in Florida, the lightening, LOVE the lightening. We are so lucky to have friends who open their home to us. We are so very lucky to have friends that we can just be.....
Peace Out
And to be completely honest, yes we (I) live streamed the trial (why Casey Anthony of course)
