Sunset Over Clearwater

Hi Everyone!

It was a short week and Glenn had a few more days off, so we've had some nice time to spend together - mainly just spent hanging around on the lanai.

But Glenn did get a good bit of outdoor work done. He replaced all the plastic edging around our flowerbeds with stone and it came it looking quite nice.

And here's a pic of some fluffy clouds over our neighborhood.

You see, we are now in full-on summer here in Florida, which means we get a big thunderstorm every afternoon. The meteorologist on TV down here actually calls them "Thunderboomers" which I think makes him sound like a 5-year-old boy instead of a professional weatherman, but the term is rather apt.

So anyway, the highlight of our weekend was definitely our trip to Clearwater Beach on Saturday night. You'll see that it looked like we were definitely in for some thunderboomers, but it actually never did rain on us.

First we went to Crabby Bills for a delicious dinner.

And then past Pier 60, where the acrobatic show was in full swing.

And then down to the beach...

This is an ibis, but Glenn and I call them chickens. 

And here you can see why I was afraid we might be in for some weather...

Seriously, it didn't rain on us!

So anyway, we found a nice spot in the sand and just sat there watching the sun go down for about a half hour or so. Glenn took 43,000 pictures, so we had to narrow them down a lot, but still, bear with me. It was gorgeous.

So now we think this sign actually may have merit.

Still can't believe we have access to all this on just a regular Saturday night. Life is good, my friends!

Hope you are all enjoying this lovely June! More to come...
