I missed posting yesterday - I was just plain lazy. Jim was gone about 8 hour fishing and he did catch fish. He caught one called "A Lady Fish", I wonder if there is one called a man fish. Probably not.
We watched a movie Thurs night. "All About Schmidt", dumbest movie I ever saw, Jim got something out of it , I'm sure because the guy had a camper. It was a really bad movie.
On Friday we sure had a fun day. We went to D. Wiggins S. P. You can see the ocean from the parking lot right outside the park so we walked in. It's so fun being barefoot on the beach picking up shells. We were the only ones on the beach, and believe me for the town of North Naples to be the only ones on the beach there has to be a good reason, it was early in the morning, we got here just after 8am but the reason we were the only ones is because it started to rain. It was only a soft rain most of the time but it did turn on us. We were there shelling for about 2 hours and walked and walked. We found some pretty shells but I did find a sand dollar, Jim did too. By the time we got back to our truck we were soaked and laughing. We had beach towels in the truck from our shower that morning and we turned the heaters on the seats to warm up. We got a little chilled but it sure was fun. Jim got some great pictures of birds. He does take good pictures. I still haven't learned how to download them to my blog. Mac where are you when I need you. He was going to help me last week but we were over our min. on our phones by 100. Not a good thing. Mac isn't Verizon. I will have to talk to him tonight.
It poured all day, we had fun reading and being inside. It looks like they got between 2 and 6 inches of rain. They said that was a lot being this isn't the rainy season. We won't have it as warm as the last two days, it was in the upper 80ies. It was only be in the lower 70ies. Right now there is no wind but it always comes up. I just like sitting by the lake reading in the sun. We haven't had much chance to do that.
We did sit out by the lake Thurs night in the dark, it was so warm and pleasant, the only thing that was missing was my chimenea. The warm lake breeze flowing over us. A beautiful summer evening and no bugs. It must be what heaven is like.
Today we go to lunch with Ron and Polly, a rib place, I am trying to loose weight and watch what I eat but it is so hard on vacation. I am not eating any junk food and it doesn't seem to make any difference at all. There are so many wonderful grocery stores around. It's fun to shop in them. We are eating like kings. This nonsence will have to stop.
Today I will have to sort through my shells. I wish we could go to the Ocean every day. That would be my idea of fun everyday but if we do this again we would probably do it father North. It's just too crowded down here. Both of us would like a place with fewer people. Everyone is so nice but it fighting the traffic all the time. That's part of the reason we moved to Remer. No traffic.
There is a preserve nearby I want to go to today. It has a 2 mile boardwalk. Jim isn't too excited but maybe I will see alligators in the wild. Haven't yet, The manatees are on the move they say. It's that time of year. They said in one county alone 19 were killed by motor boats in the river. It's so sad, they are so huge. I truly would like to see a manatee. Later
