Two Scares Today (Monday) and Quiet Day (Tuesday)

The morning started off wonderful.  Slept in when we had declared we were going to get up early....read and played with our computer for a while.  Then we got dressed for the beach and merrily went on our way to Pensacola Beach for some fun in the sun and floating in thar beautiful water.  This is the Pensacola Beach sign comming from Navarre

 and below is the sign coming from Pensacola...I like the Pensacola sign the best.

When this area

had the hurricane a few years back, this sign was destroyed.  It was so loved by the residents of the city that it was rebuilt almost exactly the same.  The only thing is that I don't think they put the lights back on it so that it still lights up at night.

 On the way we stopped at What A Burger for brunch.

While we are the beach and just getting comfortable soaking up the wonderful warm sun...people started yelling and shouting " Shark, sharks, sharks. everyone out of the water!"  People were moving very quickly out of the water and on the beach sand. It turns out it was dolphins swimming very close to the shore line...not sharks. But the dolphins weren't swimming up and down in the water like they usually do. They were gliding along like sharks swim...so no wonder people thought they were sharks.

"Ha Ha, scared you!" said the Dolphins.

 In the afternoon we went over to Paul and Jack Bowen's house.  Eric was going to help Mike fix something on his computer and put Scype on both of our laptops.  After he got the computers fixed we decided to go to Smoky's and eat dinner.  Paul went with us.  After that we went to Barns and Noble to check out the books and magazines.
Then we got the second scare...we were just going home from the bookstore when we saw a fire truck go down the street near RB's house.I said "I hope that's not going to Keating Rd.  Then it turned on Keating Rd and stopped in front of RB's house...the rescue truck was coming the other way down the street towards the house too.

Lots of red lights flashing. It was for the house next door! Sorry for them, but good for us!  I don't need scares like these any more.


Quiet Day
Tuesday May 10, 2011
We didn't do much today...went out for breakfast with RB and stopped at some motorcycle stores looking for a new helmet for Mike. We came back to the house and Mike worked on cutting the yard and I cleaned in the house a little and did laundry. RB has three Holly Trees in his front yard. They are just loaded with red Holly berries. I wish I had some home in Michigan. I have a Holly bush, but there are never any berries on it.
