Wednesday

The last two days have been a whirlwind of activity.  My childhood friend is here!!  She and her hubby joined us at the bowling alley where we were able to catch up a bit while Dave and I bowled.  Then they went to lunch with us at PJ's.  Not only that, Sudi & Howard joined us at PJ's so we had a gabfest all through lunch! 

Today after lunch we went sightseeing.  We started out at Sand Key and ended our tour at Yellow Banks Groves for orange/vanilla ice cream!  In between, we went to Madeira Beach where we saw a whole pod of dolphin.  The baby kept jumping up out of the water.  We also saw pelicans catching fish and then throwing them up in the air only to catch them again and swallow them.  What a treat!  That was one of the things Shirley and Dave wanted to see - dolphins in the Gulf.

We also took them to Pass a Grille where we saw some more beautiful waves on the Gulf.  We pretty much had the beaches all to ourselves because it was windy and cold out there!

I've just rested this evening and now I'm ready for bed!

More later...
