what's been happening

Don and Phyllis were on a cruise. One of their stops was Key West. So we met them and had lunch and strolled around Key West for the afternoon. Of course pictures were taken. As usual!!
By the way, Don and Phyllis are two of our best friends from home.
We have a lot of company and friends here . Dick and Anne my
brother and sister in law ,were here (in their new motor home ) for three weeks We TRYED fishing, kayaking, and snorkeling. The best I can say is "We didn't drown."
Our friends, Wayne and Sharon, Were here three or four days .Key West again, Vera's favorite place. Wayne and Sharon treated us to Little Palm Island for lunch. Little Palm Island is a very expensive and exclusive resort. The only way to get there is by boat,( Our's or their's) . We took their ferry. It was an experience we probably will never be able to do again. We will judge all other restaurants against this one.
The big surprise was when our son Keith told us he was coming to the keys. We've only been invited him for 8 years. He and his girlfriend ,Nikki landed March 12th in Fort Lauderdale. We picked them up there on Wednesday. Thursday we went fishing on "Happy Feet" (our boat). Now up till now we were catching some fish ,sometimes none. This day we caught a lot of fish. We came in with 16 fish in the cooler.We said Keith and Nikki were our lucky charms. Friday... you guessed it back to Key West to see the sights. Nikki and Keith had never been there before. We covered a lot of ground that day. Our day ended like Cinderella...at midnight. We were tired, but at least no one turned into a pumpkin. Saturday Keith came down with a case of food poisoning. He sure does know how to have a good time.
We're now resting up and waiting for Tara and Matt, (Our daughter and her husband). The next time you hear from us we will be in our new motor home.....Pictures to follow...

Super Bowl Sunday

Lou and Florence from Tuckerton are in the Keys for one month.We spent a sunny, hot day at the pool where they are renting a condo. It was a very nice day. We had a grilled lunch and a homemade mudslide to die for.Lou topped it witha cherry and whipped cream.We end up wearing it! After a refreshing shower, we ended up at Sparkey's for the Super bowl. GIANTS WON!!!
The week of Feb. 4th was great! Good fishing days. Chris, Lou and Ken enjoyed the day . What made it even better was the fact that Lou caught a Red Grouper ,a keeper YEA!!!!! We had a fish dinner that Vera made and we all ate up.Key West on a very hot day turned out to be wonderfully nice .We pigged out at Finnegans Wake, also took in a movie-----Fools ' Gold Had a very pleasant day with Rob and Sue.
Craft shows here are more than crafts.Artists, painters,and jewelry crafts are all displayed.
We are currently having thunder storms.We don't have to shovel that! Wind and rain is what we have to suffer through.Florida really needs rain so we can't complain .(BUT WE DO)

Fishing by the bridge

We've been out fishing (but not as much as we would like) . We always let having fun get in the way of doing the things we want to do!!!

pictures

we just wanted to show us having dinner at "The Island"and us in the pool. I was also trying to post pictures. They didn't come out perfect yet.

This is the life "The Keys disease"

Now that we are having fun , time sure is flying by. This is February alrady. The saya real good comedy. Toby,Chris,Rob,Sue, Ken and I enjoyed how 3 women plotted to kill their jerk husbands. Chris, Rob and Ken felt safe because they think they aren't jerks. Coffee and desert ( coconut ice cream covered with Kaluha ) topped off a great evening.
The next day we enjoyed a BBQ chicken dinner at the pool. It was a warm sunny day, with live music to listen to. ( Of course I needed to dance ) while dinning and swimming. This isn't a bad way to live!!!

Always complaining!!!

This is a special entrance for a physical education teacher in Little Egg Harbor (not mentioning any names). It seems that we need to make more regular entries,to stop some of the readers from complaining!!! If the shoe fits.

So many bars so little time

In our park there are many activities to choose from. Ken and I go to conditioning class 3 days a week. The class is lead by an eighty year old woman (Merrilee). She is unbelievable. She puts me to shame. There is line dancing, computer classes, tennis, happy hour, and dinner dances with different themes. We went to a sock hop the other night.
Key West is 39 miles down the (only) road. Key West is "Key West". So many bars so little time!!!
There are a lot of things to do. But we sometimes actually sit and relax on what I like to call our patio. Outside our motor home,with chairs, table,lounges,and an awning ; this is the life. We call it "Keys Disease"
