Ann and I made to Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island today. I biked and she walked and then we had lunch. It was a great day. The slide show is pictures I took as I biked around the island.
Today was spectacular. The temperature was in the upper 70’s and the breeze was light. After we returned from church in Sarasota we took off for the beach. Ann really loves the beach. I enjoy it also but not as much as Ann does. We just sunned and read and listen to the NFL playoff game. It was not crowded at all.
As promised, I checked out Geezerville for new geezerware. The pickings were slim. I did find a few that I thought might generate some excitement. Anyone wishing to order, please send cash only + $12.95 shipping and handling.
I’m off to a good start in Florida. I’ve ridden my bike a couple of times and it has been enjoyable. One of the advantages of cycling is that you see wildlife occasionally. Yesterday I encountered Armando armadillo. He(?) was feeding along the trail and completely ignored me as I took his picture and tried to engage him in conversation. Only when I grabbed him by his tail did he scramble away.
The other species of wildlife I have encountered is the Tasmanian Fast Scrabble Devil. She is equally unimpressed with me and has drubbed me the last two games. Perhaps grabbing her ???
Tomorrow we return to Geezerville at the Englewood United Methodist Church men’s breakfast. I’m looking forward to discovering new geezerware. I will document any discoveries and post them immediately in case anyone would care to have us pick some up and ship them over night.
