Spent too much time on Peter’s boat yesterday. This vertigo is so frustrating. Ever since my cochlear implant surgery I have balance issues and I have a lot of days when I feel like a Weeble that does fall down! Even our neighbor asked me this morning if I was alright as I was swaying–just standing still. I still was able to go for my morning walk but I felt like i was wandering quite a bit. Fortunately i am feeling better the more the day progresses.
Christmas 12/25/2018
Christmas day was a gorgeous day. Mid 70’s but winds still in the teens. Very typical for the weather in the Keys for this time of year. Small craft warnings are predicted for the next couple of days but temperatures should climb back into the low 80’s by the weekend. It looks like friends that are visiting Key West in a few days will have some nice weather.
Weather 12/20/2018
It was warm but windy today. Highs in the mid 80’s. Strong storms are predicted for tonight and tomorrow so Randy pulled the Mako out of the water yesterday in preparation. It got a nice wash and wax today. Predictions are for gale force winds and possibly some flooding tonight and tomorrow. We have stored all outdoor furniture and even parked the golf cart under the empty house next door. Looking forward to nice weather again in a few days.
Another Lucky Night at Boat Club 12/19/2018
Venture Out where we are staying has 50/50 raffles at all of their activities. The funds raised are used to help pay for supplies, activities, etc. I won again tonight at our Block 2 get together. It wasn’t a lot of money ($25) but the second time I won money. 2 for 2 not bad odds!!
Kids Heading Home and Snipe Point 12/18/2018
The kids had mid-morning flights home so we joined them in Key West so they could head to the Key West airport after breakfast. We had breakfast at Blue Heaven on Petronia street in the heart of old Key West. Blue Heaven also own owns Salute! On The Beach restaurant that we went to for dinner on Monday night. Everyone wanted a final dinner at the Square Grouper but they were closed on Sunday and Monday until after Christmas. Another excuse why they need to make another trip!
Birthday Celebration; Kids Cruising Into Key West 12/15/2018
The day started the same as most Saturdays for us in Venture Out and that is with a pancake breakfast. The Saturday pancake breakfasts are a fund raiser for the recrecation committee of VO. Randy likes going because I have stopped making pancakes because of the amount of sugar in the pancakes and in the syrup and I like the breakfast since I don’t have to cook.

It’s been a great week with the kids here. I have done nothing in our kitchen since they arrived. Travis has been making breakfast every day (Thank you Travis!), we normally have a quick lunch while we are out and dinner has been at a restaurant every night. The bad part of this is that i have not stuck to my diet at all while they have been here.
Looking for the Sunshine; Tarpon Belly and Square Grouper 12/13/2018
It was a great day with the “crew” yesterday. I started the day with my normal walk but this time my daughter joined me. Randy’s ankle is still hurting him so he took the day off.
Awesome Day with Family and Dinner at Tonio’s 12/12/2018
While the weather was cool and windy, it was the best day because Kat and Ryan joined us in the Keys. I rented the house for them to come and visit as their Christmas present, but it was really a present for myself. Love having my family with me for a few days!

Had a great evening at the Boat Club dinner. The Chinese food was good. The speaker from the Dolphin Research Center was awesome. Her presentation had videos of their activities and she talked about the individual dolphins at the center. It was good meeting more residents. I just need to remember all the names—not my strong suit. Really love this place! The best part about the evening is that we won second prize in the 50/50 raffle. And the kids are coming tomorrow so I am sure there will be lots of fun things to do for the next couple of days!!
