Randy loves the underwater light that he received as a Christmas present. He especially likes seeing all of the fish or animals that the light attracts.
Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding 01/26/2018
I had never heard of Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding so when they first started advertising this dinner party I was really not sure what to expect. However once we were told it was an interactive play set as an over-the-top Italian wedding, we thought it would be a lot of fun. And it was! Maureen who played Tina was superb. Everyone was a total ham that night. We are really liking all of the activities at Venture Out.
V. O. Strong Walk-A-Thon
This morning I participated in the annual Venture Out Walk-A-Thon. We walked the entire park except for one small court that cut off about two tenths of a mile.
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!!
Lucky night at Boat Club 12/11/2018
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!!
Second Walk for the Day 12/11/2018
Did our normal 2 mile walk early this morning but Randy had a sore ankle so we walked very slow. I decided to walk again this afternoon. I am much quicker when I walk by myself—but it is not as much fun.
Getting faster on my walk
One Month 12/09/2018
It is a little more than two months since we retired, and one month since we left Westminster, and so far we are loving being in Florida for the winter. Its no wonder there are so many snowbirds. And we are definitely looking forward to additional travels next year. I do miss our friends and family from home, but the warm weather is keeping us busy so we don’t have a chance to think about it too much.
Manatee came to visit 12/02/2018
it is still windy here and its a little rough out on the water so we are spending the day catching up on some chores while enjoying the sunshine. Randy washed the Jeep and the boat. While he was washing the boat, he had a visitor. I assume the manatee recogized the sound of running water so came over to investigate. This one got close enough i could have reached out and touched. I didn’t try but i did get a few nice pictures.
