A Beach Day!

We were up around 7, got ready, had breakfast and were on the Pickleball Courts at 9.  It was a beautiful morning with plenty of sunshine and around 70 - perfect for playing pickleball!  We played about 7 or 8 games, again switching partners many times.  Just can't get enough of this game!

We were back to the CG by 11:30.  We packed our lunches and got ready to go to Manasota Beach by noon.  This is a beach south of Venice where Ken and I always enjoy looking for shark's teeth.  We usually find more on this beach than any other here in Florida.  Today was no exception.  We found close to 200 - most of them were relatively small, but still shark's teeth.  It becomes addictive for us - the more we find the more we keep looking!  I also did some shell hunting.

The water was warm and you could find some sharks
teeth just by looking along the shoreline.  We also
used our "Florida Snow Shovel" for scooping shells
and sharks teeth out of the water!

Beautiful Manasota Beach, just south of Venice!

Doesn't the water look inviting????

Not too many people on the beach this time of year!

A great days find!!!!!

We returned to the CG around 5, got showers, and Ken took a snooze while I prepared supper.  Chuck and Melissa came over around 7 and we played Pinochle, Skip-Bo, and 5 Crowns!  The ladies won Skip-Bo and Pinochle.  The men conceded in Pinochle after a bit of cheating!  They felt guilty when they won by 1 point and decided we really won the game, as it should have been!  We called it a day around 10:30, but it certainly was a fun one!!!!
