Holiday Week Fun

Scott, Allen and I spent Christmas at my parent’s in Englewood. We went to the early Christmas eve Mass at their churh because we had Luminaries to put out before dark. We enjoyed a spread of hors d’oeuvres, opened presents, walked the neighborhood to see the lights and played cards.  So wonderful to sped time with my parents.

We worked like a well oiled machine. Here’s the guys in the golf cart running them up and down the street.
Pictures don’t do this scene justice. It was really beautiful. Way to go Don and Mary Lou for volunteering your time to do this for your street in your park.
Last Call all lit up for Christmas. The string of lights on top went out. It is suppose to be a tree with a star on top.

The Kuhfeldt family arrived in Clearwater the day after Christmas.  It was so good to see them all. We met for dinner  at a restaurant on Clearwater beach.  We watched the sunset as we sat out on the deck. What a great family.  We sure enjoyed a few precious days together.

They joined us on board for pizza and a mean game of cards. It was a great night. Miss these guys.

While sitting on the deck for dinner we witness a dream wedding.
Carriage ride at sunset on a warm calm night. This should be a happy bride.

Allen was with us for about a week.  After Christmas at my parents, we spent two days on the beach. The weather was glorious.

My crazy boy. Sure do miss him.
Glorious sunset one of his last night with us.
Allen out snorkeling. You find the best shells out in the water because they haven’t been beaten up on shore. But beware, you never know if they are empty.
Cool perfect shell and it wasn’t empty so we put him back.
A family found all these horseshoe crabs on the beach. They are huge.
Last Call hit the Jackpot with the Sand Dollars. Allen and Scott found them snorkeling so they were not broken. We shared many with friends.

We also had the Rehkopf’s stop by.  They had Angie with them.  Always a treat to see them, but even better when Angie is with them.

Just before we left Dunedin we had another visitor.   Michael Martin and Margp. He was our broker for buying our boat and we have become great friends.    He has recently started the Great Loop himself while working.  He has a go-fast-boat so he can zip to a destination and hop in a car or a plane to go where he needs to go to sell boats.

Michael and Margo both joined us for Docktails.
Such a beautiful bird.
I got to babysit Margo while Michael docked his boat and Scott helped with lines. I have no experience with birds. Michael told me about a few mannerism to watch for both good and bad and we became good friends quickly.

My bestie Margo, me and that guy named Scott who means nothing to Margo.

Funny story… I was a little afraid to let Margo give me a kiss for fear of her ripping my lips off.  After spending some time with her and beginning to read her emotions, I felt comfortable to take a kiss from Margo.  Michael was about to leave and he let her kiss him first then I did it, then Scott…..*****>>>>  whoa! She took one look at his furry face and snubbed him badly and refused to kiss him.  We got a great chuckle out of it.  Margo let everyone know her feelings for him by her reaction and body language.

It is so much fun seeing old friends and making new. If you are ever near us, please let us know. We would love to see you.  If you think you might want to join us on our crazy boat adventure for a short time, let us know.  We would love to have you.

Thanks for reading.

Karen and Scott
