No More Relaxation

OH NO!!!! I have to go back to work on Tuesday. My vacation was just too short. Oh well, at least I get time off!!! I guess I can't complain. It's been so restful.

GREETINGS OF THE SEASON

Seasons Greetings to all who read my Blog. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza, and a very, very happy New Year!!! I hope we all have many happy occasions to celebrate over the next year.

What is this?

Has anybody ever seen anything like this before. This is a picture of our friend Barry making a salad. There is something sitting on his shoulder. I have had my camera for over 2 years and have never had anything show up in my photos like this before. I have examined the room and really don't think there is any evidence that this is a reflection off of a light in the room. I took pictures both right before this one and after with no evidence of the semi-round light that is resting on Barry's shoulder. I'd appreciate any feed back or comments you may have. Thank you!!

A visit from Pam and Mark

A few weeks ago my cousin Pam and her husband Mark came to St. Petersberg to visit their daughter Jamie and her husband Paul. They all came down to see us in Sarasota on a Saturday and we took them on a sight-seeing tour around town. We started at Siesta Beach and then went to St. Armand's Circle and ate at Tommy Bahamas. It was a really nice visit and it was great to see Pam, Mark, Jamie and Paul. Can't wait 'till you come down again !!!

An overcast evening at the beach

We started out at the beach. It was an overcast day and evening, so the sunset was not spectacular, but the waves were very active for Siesta Beach and the Gulf of Mexico.

The beginning of a new era

Resting at the foot of Siesta Beach, Sara and Jared await their new member of the family, due in January. The baby doesn't know it yet, but this is his first visit to the beach. Grampa Jerry looks very happy and expectant, as well. We look forward to welcoming the baby into this world.

Bad Hair Day

Beth and Jerry at Tommy Bahama's. My hair has seen better days.
