Here's happy Rose on the BEACH in FLORIDA!
Mark, Liz and I spent Thursday on the Resondo Beach in St Pete. It was a glorious day, clear, sunny with a wonderful breeze.
Mark hates to have his picture taken, but since he was actually having a good time he was actually happy!
We had plenty of people to watch too, which is one of my favorite things to do when I am some place new. There were plenty to see too, a tipsy housewife trying to find her hotel, joggers, kids building sand castles or trying to skim board, old people of all shapes and sizes power walking down the beach. We even took a walk to the pier, the sad thing is that many of the beach front motels, hotels and little old homes are being torn down to build huge, expensive condos. Luckily I have a dad who already has a place just 5 minutes from the beach.
Liz and I in the cabana, Toni sprung for a rental, which she said I HAD to have. Actually I would have been just as happy with a towel on the beach, but she wanted me to feel special & pampered so I let her. The next day my father was being a poop, and Mark didn't want to be in the sun anymore so Toni, Liz and I came back to this very spot. Toni spent every summer here as a wee one. She is a very nice lady, I couldn't have picked a better stepmom. And since we are close in age and my Liz can act like an old lady we all got along great.
One night after dinner we hurried to the beach to see this wonderful sunset.
Can't wait until next year...this vacation stuff is going to become a habit!

Hi Rose -
Thanks for the pictures. It is so hard to believe that something that warm and beautiful can be visited, relatively easily, when we're all stuck in the Midwest with snow and wind chills at this time of year. I can see why you had such a hard time coming back home and putting on shoes, coats and mittens. I can almost hear you screaming, "NO!"
That sunset is beautiful too.
Don't you come home asking yourself.....WHY DO WE LIVE HERE? If it were'nt for the kids, grandkids and settled lifestyle, that answer would be...LET'S GO SOUTH!
Now, back to reality.......Brrrrrr,
