Yes, I'm still alive and living the good life. I just returned from a retreat, but there are no pictures, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Perhaps when I unpack tomorrow . . . .
Before that, there was a nice long, refreshing trip to Florida.
We had quiet time on the beach, and time with family and friends. Hi
Di! You can read about our visit with Di on her blog. It appears that she has thawed out since our visit. We saw amazing sunsets:
Sunset watching in the Keys in an important tradition each day. At one beach, a group of friends gathers each evening and serenades the setting sun!
My Aunt took us to
Black Point Wildlife Drive where we got some great photos of birds.
As we were leaving, we caught a glimpse of our only alligator for the trip.
Later in the day, we saw a gentleman leaving the beach with his fishing catch, and he was more than happy to pose for a photo.
We enjoyed our warm days in the sun. Beach time. pool time, and even a short little ferry ride to Pigeon Key to fit in a little history lesson. There was a day in Key West, and some shopping in Jacksonville. And maybe just one quick trip to a Quilt shop. Lots of good food, and the time with family and friends made it all a fantastic trip. Looking forward to next year.
I came home from retreat sick, so tomorrow I'll try to take some photos of projects that I worked on, and door prizes and goody bag treats.
Until then, let someone know you care! Sunny

Glad you had such a lovely trip. I love the bird pictures! I haven't been to FL in a number of years. Makes me want to return. How nice you were able to grab a visit with Di! Welcome home! XO
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! Looks like you had a great time away... take it easy and get well soon xx
ReplyDeleteYou look to have had a lovely time away. And the retreat sounds good, too. What a shame you were not well at the end.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of the striped fish -zebras?
I've been wondering about you - so good to know you are enjoying life (except for being sick). Hopefully by now you are well. I love the bird pictures. You should send them into Birds and Bloom. They are so great. And the fish - WHAT? I've never seen fish like that! (I also don't fish so what do I know? Hahaha)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip, Sunny! Beautiful photos! Sorry to hear you are unwell! Hope you had a great time at retreat. Looking forward to the photos!
