Weather Report

I heard something new on the local weather report last night. He showed a satellite view of Florida and had drawn an arrow to the nearest cloud ------- 430 miles away! Now that's a high pressure center. Anyway, here's my picture of the same phenomenon. No clouds, nohow, noplace, no time.......

A Foggy Day



Here's proof that even though I'm chasing the sun, I don't always find it. It's been foggy here for a couple of days and the effect is a little eerie. I took these shots off the front balcony of our condo.

Shared Items

I've added a feature to this web page. It's called shared items and it's made possible through the Google Reader. The one thing I'm sharing now is a site I love by a 108 year old Australian woman named Olive. Once you've accessed the shared site you will be able to look at more of her postings. They are worth the effort, especially the video clips. The link is at the bottom right hand section of this page.

Carribean Cruise


We've been on a little cruise to the Caribbean. We only made two stops, Grand Cayman and Key West. Actually we like the cruising aspect so much it really doesn't matter where we go. The food and service on Celebrity is just so good we could sit in Miami and have a good time. One "highlight" of the trip is that I got bit on the finger by a stingray at Stingray City. He mistook the index finger on my right hand for a squid. I had a squid in my left hand but he missed by a little. It wasn't much of a bite but there was lots of blood so Jean thought I was looking a little like shark bait.
Other that that we just did the normal cruise stuff, ate fancy dinners, ate sushi, ate canapes, drank rum. You know, the usual.
The boat we traveled on is the same one we will be on in July when we go to Norway to celebrate our 40th. It's an older style boat than the new megaships but we like it a lot, very relaxing.
