Happy 2015!

Hi Everyone!

Sorry you've been blogless for so long. Glenn and I have been pretty much just hanging around the house since the holidays. I had bronchitis for a while, so we haven't been up for much adventure.

You should know, however, that Florida is still very nice.


So let's see. What all is new?

Well, as part of my Christmas present, Glenn took me to Sarasota to see "Guys & Dolls". We ate on the patio of a nice restaurant in Sarasota...


and then went to the show, which was very entertaining.

 
Glenn and I were the youngest people there...by far! We stayed at a hotel, and the next day, which was rather chilly, we spent checking out the new, swanky Sarasota Mall.


They also had a Tesla store in case we decided we wanted to buy a luxury sports car.


Speaking of cars, we went for lunch one day in Safety Harbor and found these fellows keeping their feet warm on  a BMW they had claimed.


In other news, while I was sick, Deuce had an infection near his tail and had to wear a cone. It was very unpleasant for all of us.

This is Glenn, getting coned in the face.
We were all very happy when we finally took the darned thing off.

Yay!

So anyway, this past weekend, we went out to our favorite Mexican place, called Casa Tina, in Dunedin.


And here we are with a new friend (and Glenn's giant thumb.)


Finally, on Saturday, we decided to go some place new, so we headed to Hammock Park, which is also in Dunedin.

It was beautiful. And around 78 degrees. Not bad for January!




It probably should have been called Citrus Park because, a) we didn't see any hammocks and b) there were just wild citrus trees growing all over the place.

Oranges

And tangerines (or clementines) who knows?
Glenn knocked down a tangerine with a stick and we tried it. Pretty darn sour.

There were also some pretty flowers around.



At one point, we were walking by a tree with a very chatty bird. We speculated that he might be some sort of parrot, and indeed from the photo, it looks like he might be.

Hello!
So that's about all that is new and exciting down here. Hope you are all doing well and having a great new year so far. I shall close with my vote for favorite picture of the week.

Love those sunbeams!
Take care, everyone!
