We had a great visit with you all! Unfortunately, we were having such a good time that Glenn forgot to take many pics of friends and family, so sorry if you don't see yourselves in here.
He did, of course, get a pic of himself with his buddy, Pops.
And also a picture of the new love of his life.
Also, last Monday, my parents took us to Glenn's happy place, which is Phipp's Conservatory. It was beautiful, and Glenn got to practice his photography skills, so sit back and relax for the show.
Peek-a-boo! |
Here's my nominee for the photo of the week...
This photo is to demonstrate that the hibiscus is as big as my head.

On Wednesday, Glenn and I had the day off, so we decided to go fishin'. We returned to Weaver Park in Dunedin, where there were a couple dolphins swimming in the shallow water.
The fishing in Dunedin continued to be both fun and rather frustrating. As soon as you throw the shrimp in the water, there is an immediate strike, and, 9 times out of 10, you lose the damn shrimp. We went through 48 of those poor suckers. However, Glenn caught 5 fish and I caught two, so it wasn't a total loss. Although we didn't catch anything big or exciting.
Glenn found out the fish that we were catching are actually bait fish, called Pig fish or grunts. They are used to catch redfish and snook, but we just let them go.
You are going to think I am making this next part up, but I swear it is true. When we reeled in the Pig fish, they make a grunting / oinking sound just like a pig. I have never heard a fish make a sound in my life, but these guys oink. Here is Glenn oinking to the Pig fish.
I did have one strange catch. I caught a little gar.
They are pretty, iridescent things. But soon after this picture was taken, we noticed that I had not actually hooked the gar. The hook was hanging loose. Somehow the line had looped around, and through the gar's mouth (he had tons of tiny teeth) and had tied his mouth shut. Glenn and I were desperately trying to untangle the guy...it was like untangling a knotted necklace, and it took us much longer than we wanted. Finally we got him free and threw him back in, but he didn't move in the water. I was sure we had killed him. But after a few minutes, he came back to life and swam away. Yay!
So that's pretty much it. This past weekend, we have not really done anything photo-worthy. We had a nice dinner in Tampa with Chad and Lisha last night, but otherwise have just either been running errands or sitting on the porch.
Hope all is well with you all! Talk to you soon!
