Sunset Magic

Posted on December 9, 2012 by Travel Spirit

A couple of days ago my friends–April & Wayne–and I were at Fort Myers Beach to listen to one of Wayne’s favorite bands at the Holiday Inn, which is situated on the beach. Being a local, he knows where to go! Of course, we had to witness Earth’s daily wondrous display of beauty…the sunset!

When looking back at this photo…we don’t recall what we saw…but liked the photo…

April and I both like to do handstands, cartwheels, and generally just act like kids…so we rushed out in the sand and Wayne started snapping…

We both really liked this photo…it’s quite funny with all of the legs flailing around…

This one has a frenzied motion appeal…

Now we’re to the calmer…controlled stances…

We want this for everyone!

After all of that fun…we danced for a while!

It’s fun to engage the crowd! April pulled these gentlemen up to dance and they were quite surprised and good dancers!

I’m leaving Florida today to drive back to Cincinnati and will arrive tomorrow evening. Just in time to put up my Christmas tree, do a little shopping, baking, attend events and get used to the chill!

I had a great six-week road trip and loved meeting all of the new people, seeing new sights, and experiencing new activities! I’m very grateful and also grateful for all of you!! 🙂

Beach Magic

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Travel Spirit

Yesterday, April and I had a great day at the Fort Myers Beach! While I was taking a dip in the ocean, I looked up at April and she looked as big as the buildings. It reminded me of the movie that Darrel Hannah was in where she was a giant. It also got me to thinking of how that applies to life and people–how everyone’s perspective is unique to them–shaped by events and people in their lives.

While taking a walk along the beach (which is on my left), I thought this scene of houses and a bit of inlet water was quite pretty.

On our walk, there were plenty of shells to examine and decide which ones were keepers. Here’s April on the hunt…

She found this nice spiral…

I love how the water sparkles like diamonds when the sun hits it, so I asked April to make some magic….

There is magic all around us if we open our eyes!

On a Roll…

My weekend was great…cooked a lot of new recipes…ran errands…read some from my current book “The Hunger Games“…went for a four mile hike in the woods with beautiful sunny skies…organized my food pantry…normal household chores…and went to a Superbowl party at my brother’s!

I’m on a black and white roll!
