Another awesome day:)

It was another awesome Florida day...temps were about 79.4 (again)..sunny, water a greenish blue, a few small white clouds drifting by..what more could anyone wish for?

After going to church, (yes, Family, we go to church just about every Sunday!)...I will digress a minute by telling you a funny story...when we were coming out from the service this morning, a young man asked me if we were from Maine? I wondered how he would know...Guy was singing, but I didn't think his accent was that pronounced...no it was his shirt!! He was wearing one of his favorites, the one with the chart of Mount Desert Island...and this guy was studying his shirt, trying to figure out where it was from.....and finally figured out it was from Maine....His parents live in South Paris!!

We walked back to the condo and changed into our beach clothes...this was definitely a beach day.....I spoke with both my Daughters on the phone, trying not to gloat too much as I described the scene as they both sat there, gazing out at their snowbanks and stoaking the coals once more. Julie and Paul are heading down here on Friday, and Melinda on the 3rd....I hope this glorious weather continues so they can also enjoy heaven!!!

There is a tiki bar, about 200 yards from us called "Coconuts on the Beach"....because Florida allows booze in public, I'm guessing this is one of the reasons this place draws such a crowd. There was a band playing and those young people were out enjoying it all today....I'm wondering just what it's going to be like when Spring Break happens!

The surf was excellent today and those surfers were taking advantage of it. This guy was fun to watch...He went way out with his wind sail and it made me nervous to watch him...these guys have to have to be in terrific shape to be able to do what they do.....

Guess who won another lottery??? Certainly not the one like he won last fall...we're not sure if it's worth $4.00 or $8.00!!!!
