Eileen and Karen visit us in Florida 2024

Karen and Eileen dropped by for a few days last year and they liked it so much that they came back this year for a couple of weeks. It was a pleasure to have they back again. They both deserved some time off from their busy schedules. However they spent much of their time helping us, preparing meals and Eileen showed off her barbeque skills on more than one occasion.

From the Airplane …

… to the Beach

We spent time almost every day walking the beach and searching for Shark’s Teeth. Some days the waters are calm and some days the waves can be unforgiving if you aren’t watching where you’re walking.  Such was a day when a wave came in and took Marie’s feet out from out of her.  Unfortunately I was too busy helping her up before she was taken out to sea to get a photo of the incident J

More Shark’s Tooth Hunting

One benefit, that we learned very early when we first started our trips to Manasota in 2016, was that all of the callouses on your feet disappear and your feet become soft as a baby.

Here we are enjoying a cold one in the pool before heading out to Applebee’s for dinner.
