Summer Vacation

So many kids are heading back to school already, but my grandchildren are enjoying two weeks vacation on the Florida beaches. The water temperature is about body temperature...no inching myself in like in the lake.  And the kids, especially Dane, are in the water like a flash but it seems it is the wet that lures them, not the temperature.  Warm or cool, water is water. We went to the North Jetty Beach in Nokomis after dinner at a seafood restaurant the other night.  The children ordered a hamburger and chicken fingers, which kind of defeated the purpose (but I keep trying, without success to expand their palates, so that means I am insane).  It was too early  for the sunset -- seniors and children go for the early bird specials. But I did get a photo of the sunset when we got home. Thunderstorms happen most evenings. We went back for swimming the next day and we saw a mama manatee with a calf!  They came very close to the shore where we were swimming.  

Great!

Make America Great Again! You know, like it was when the country was founded on equality for all.  All property owning, white Protestant males, that is.  Do you doubt that is exactly what is meant by that slogan? I wonder of native Americans are thumping their heads and thinking, "We shoulda built a wall!!!"

Changing things up

I have no idea why Blogger no longer updates my posts on reading lists out there adjust writing a post seems to be a trial these days, what with the cursor disappearing at random times and the key board seeming to lock up in a willy-nilly kind of way. But it was an excuse for me to just start a new blog with a slightly different focus.  It is here  and also posts to my Facebook page.
