I think I need a rest........

It's been a whirlwind few months......long miles and vistas on the road, a reunion, a wedding, a virus , another trip to favorite places and then some favorite company......I think a nap is in order.................................


The Roommates arrived again for Year II of golf and food and drink and sightseeing. The weather mostly cooperated and the humidity wasn't stifling. We went to dinner
at a favorite place....the Cotillion Southern Cafe which serves up authentic (don't count the calories) Southern cooking. Everything on the menu is delicious but the fried green tomatoes are worth the trip. And we went back a few days later for lunch, specifically for the BLT....bacon, lettuce and fried green tomatoes. We resume our fast today.
On Saturday, we attended a charity concert featuring Wynonna and Naomi Judd.....it was very good and again, not too hot and humid. That hair is really, really red !
After seeing Dolphin Tail, Carol needed to go to the home of Winter, the star of the show. She is in the Clearwater Marine Aquarium about 2 hours from here. Another
nice day and we saw the show and the exhibits and Shelly even got to hold one
of Winter's many tails....she has had 17 because she grows out of them. It was interesting and informative but the museum is just a small research and rescue facility and not set up for the hoards of visitors.
The popularity will allow them to expand their work. If you go, don't expect SeaWorld...it's tiny and utilitarian but they do great work.
We played golf and more golf. And then had to shop for more golf clothes so that we look good even when we don't play good. But.......I almost.....got a hole-in-one...missed by a mere couple of inches..

Shelly has perfected her Appletini and it tastes as good as it looks...............
It was a great week but now it's time to get back to the mindful eating and exercising and catching up on the blog. Until you come to visit......reservations being accepted.
