MLK Day in Florida

How many times can one say, "Oh, this place is soooo beautiful!" We are on the 19th floor of Jason's friend's condo. (And, I might say, this is the right kind of friend to have! I could get use to living the high life. Not up in the air, but surrounded by money and blue sky and surf and yachts, etc. )

We are all settled in, groceries stocking the shelves, laundry done. This morning Mom, Dad, and myself went for a sunny walk down the way. Shirtsleeves. We walked a long way, up a bridge where we watched the fishermen, back through a park. Your Grandfather started picking up trash along the way. Yep, lots of litter...I told him he had better wear gloves tomorrow. Then we returned along the beach. I walked barefoot, Grandma was wearing the new Sketchers that Patti left here. We don't know if she forgot them or donated them to Mom for the trip? Anyway, they were more supportive for walking than the trusty Keds.

Just a regular day of sunny Florida. The tv is keeping us updated on the historical Presidential happenings. We're also buying copies of the St.Pete Times. Actually, we are south of Clearwater on Sand Key. That is like a little secluded island inlet. No big tourist outlets, just a tiny strip of eating shops. You have to drive over the bridge to access Sand Key and all the stores. So that makes it quiet and serene. Tomorrow is suppose to be fifty degrees ... a major cold wave. Mom and I are laughing. We have our winter coats, that 50 degrees is a heat wave to us. Missing you all in our Florida days! Also we love reading your comments. And the best news....Grandpa is learning how to be proficient with the cell phone!
