"Nother" Best Day in Florida!

This one one very special day in Florida!  Ken had another tough night's sleep (or not sleep) from that medicine, Prednisone!  He slept from 10 to 1, then awake from 1 to 4, then slept 4 to 6.  Not much rest!  I had my 1st night with NO Itching from the fire ant bites!  Yeah!!!

I got up at 7:15, got ready to play pickleball, and then made omelettes and cut-up fresh fruit for breakfast.  I had a nice conversation with my mother and she and dad are both doing well!

At 9:15 we headed to the pickleball courts, only about  75 steps from our motorhome. We got to play with 3 Canadian gentlemen and had such a good time.  Had no idea what they said a lot of the time, but I'm sure it was good except for the swear words!  We had many close games and lots of good volleys.  Sad to see it end around 11.



Harbor Lakes added a 2nd pickleball court last year,
so they are in great shape.  Even have a wind screen!

Ken and I went back to Waldo,  put on our suits, packed our lunches, and were on our way to Manasota Beach by 11:30.  We took the scenic route to get there through Englewood, arriving at the beach at 12:15.  What a perfect beach day!  Plenty of sunshine and about 77 degrees!  Also we were there near low tide, a perfect time for finding sharks teeth - we found alittle over 300!  Wow!  Not much time for sitting on our chairs and relaxing.  We were too busy searching the surf for our treasures!

What a perfect beach and beach day!

Even the birds were frolicing in the surf, sand and
beautiful sunshine!

Love this beach!

More searching of the sand and shoreline!  Seems like
I have to search for only 1 thing at a time.  Either
sharks teeth or shells.  What is that about????

This bird looked so silly!

Within 45 minutes of sunset when we left!




We only left the beach about 5 and took the shorter route home - 30 minutes.  Showers felt great and while Ken cleaned the sharks teeth I made dinner- large salads with sauteed onions, peppers, and teriyaki chicken.  So good.

Another day's treasures!  Such fun!


Then it was time to watch some college football games!  This was one terrific day in paradise!
