Local Market and Bike Riding

Ken and I only got up around 7:30, just needed a bit more rest!  Talked to Lanie and all is going well with their family.  It is very cold in PA, but they didn't have as much snow as expected.  We were on our way to Barry and Deb's CG at 9:15.  The 4 of us had to drive separately to Marco Island because of taking our bikes, but our 1st stop was at the Wed. morning Farmer's Market in Marco.  It gets so full, but it should - they have wonderful vendors with lots of fruits and veggies ( I was able to get my favorite oranges - honeybells), fresh baked breads and other goodies, jewelry,  cheeses, sandwiches, and beautiful cut flowers.  We really enjoyed walking around and making a few purchases, especially the fruits and veggies!

So many different fruits and veggies!

Always a huge crowd at the Marco Island Farmers Market!

So many good looking cheeses!

The cut flowers were beautiful!

Tomatoes everywhere!

Hungry yet!

Bouquets even included Ken's favorite, Bird of Paradise!

We left from that parking lot on a bike ride through old Marco Island founded in 1870.  Marco Island really is a beautiful place with so many scenic areas.We stopped riding to have lunch at a great pizza place, Joey's.  This is the 3rd year we have stopped there for pizza, and it is worth it!  Their specialty is a thin crust pizza with ground Italian sausage.  Ken continued with his diet and had a delicious salad.

We thought we should but this lot and put Waldo on it.
Barry and Deb would share it for their Airstream!  Don't
think the neighbors would be too wild about it!

Entering Historic Old Marco!

Not a bad setting, huh????

Love all the greenery!

Time to relax in the sunshine on the dock!

Wow, Ken's favorite bird is in Marco!

A beautiful shot of Marco Island!

Don't forget to stop at Joey's when in the area!

What do you think about the purchase we made today????  \
We are going to tow it behind Waldo!!!!

We rode about 6 1/2 miles, then loaded up our bikes and went back to Barry and Deb's.  Ken and Barry took a walk around the CG while Deb helped me make a greeting card using the Iris Folding method.  We made a heart shape and I really enjoyed it.  It is like piecing a quilt.

My 1st attempt at Iris Paper Folding!  It was fun and
I'm proud of the result!  Thanks, Deb!!!

We were back to Waldo around 4:30 and then took a walk around the CG, getting Ken his 10,000 steps. Did talk to my sister who had a Dr. appt. today and it appears she may have a tear in some ligaments or tendons (I am not sure which one), so she has to stay off the beach.  She has a splint type cast to keep her foot immobile until she has a cat scan on Friday.  She had put a lot of weight on that foot while trying to heal from her hip surgery.  How does it happen that when you fix one thing something else gets hurt in the process? Doesn't seem right!!! 

We had a relaxing evening and are looking forward to going to the beach tomorrow.  It is supposed to be in the mid 70's with a low of 47 tonight!
