Brenda off home……..
We are taking Brenda back to the airport today as she must
head back to Manitoba. We have had a wonderful week relaxing just going to the
pool, a little antique browsing, some gourmet cooking and a few games of
scrabble. We managed one shopping trip to Vero Beach and a walk at the ocean
and out on the jetty, but mostly just relaxed. The gourmet cooking was fun and
our attempt at crème brule was a great success and oh so creamy! I will say
that our bacon wrapped pork roast with a raspberry honey mustard glaze was to
die for as was our crabbed stuffed chicken. We did our weekly Saturday market run and
also went the midway market to get fresh fruit which made a delicious fruit
salad. The market this week had an added feature of a parade of horses. The "crackers " were doing a historic trail ride and ending at the FP marina. It was a neat thing to see boats and horses mixed together.
Last night we were off to Chuck’s seafood Restaurant for our fill of fish and boy was it a fill. The combo of mahi mahi, scallops, shrimp and fresh oysters was a big hit, but way too much food. We now have enough leftovers for supper tonight.

This morning it is calm and muggy with the high to be 29 C.
The marina is smooth as silk and a manatee came calling to give us a lovely
show and then quietly left for the inter coastal waterway. They are big amazing creatures with their
huge round bodies and an odd flat tail that propels them effortlessly through
the water.

We are back from the airport and it was another difficult
goodbye, but tomorrow brings Lynn and Vern to our happy condo for a Florida
visit. We look forward to spending time with them and hearing about their hair-raising
adventure getting here through all the bad weather. this week might be interesting as we have traveled with them before and had some crazy times. Hey
Lynn, want to go whale watching? lol Way hey and up she rises…….. just kidding!!
The weather is supposed to be in the 30’s the next few days
so it will be very hot. Good thing that pool is open early and late!!!
Take care all.
