Sunday - Another Gorgeous, Sunny, Warm Day!

Ken and I got up earlier than usual for a Sunday morning so we could get ready for church before going over to say our good-byes to Ernie and Noela.  So, at 7:30 we went to there site, chatted, hugged, and then watched them leave.  It has been a wonderful winter sharing adventures and life with them.

Ernie and Noela all ready to head out!

Goodbye special friends until later this year!


We decided to go to Denny's for breakfast before church because we were ready and hungry.  After eating and having a nice time talking, we went to church for the 9:30 service, visiting with many friends before and after the service.  It was a phenomenal message by Pastor Dan talking about how we handle our life  struggles (his wife is very debilitated because of MS)!  It was a heart wrenching message.

We returned to Wilbur where we changed to go to the beach and I worked on some projects while Ken rested.  We left the CG at 2:15 and headed to Manasota Beach.  We knew we wouldn't find a parking space if we left any earlier.  Fortunately someone was leaving just when we arrived.  Ken and I spent most of our time walking the beach and finding a good amount of shark's teeth and pieces of sea glass.  

We left at 5:30 and drove to the North Jetty at Nokomis Beach to watch the sunset.  Rick and Joyce joined us around 7 and we had a nice time and enjoyed watching the dolphins, boats, and birds.  Lots of hugs and sadness when we said our good-byes, knowing we probably won't see each until next November or December.  We so appreciate their friendship, encouragement and spiritual guidance.

Looking over to Venice!

Not much of a "sighting" but amazing that Ken
actually got a picture of the dolphin!

Beautiful sky from the North Jetty!


Amazing how hard the pelicans dive into the water!


The pelicans are searching for food!

Lots of people come to the jetty each evening for the
sunset!

I think these are terns!  Talk about blending in with your surroundings!  

Dive bombing pelicans!


Our great friends, Rick and Joyce!

I think a sailboat is growing out of my head!!!

It was a bit cloudy so no actual sunset, but the sky was
beautiful!



A sunset cruise sailboat!


So beautiful!

Ken and I were back to the CG by 9 and we went right to bed.  Tomorrow we need to finish packing and organizing for our departure on Tuesday morning!
