Pensacola Beach

 Well, I normally don't post items unless it's a change of scenery or different location; however, today was an exceptional day.  

It started with one of Char's close friends getting married at the County Courthouse and Char was Ami's witness.  Then this evening Ami and Mark's friends all met at Pensacola Beach to celebrate the event.  While it wasn't a typical reception, it was a fun gathering at a restaurant overlooking Pensacola Bay.  Adding to the evening' festivities was a lighted boat parade and fireworks display over the water.  Pretty awesome.  I took some pictures, but they will probably come out as just specks on the horizon while in reality they were up close and personal.  Quite a gathering of people out on the docks and beach in front of us, many of whom left at the same time as we did.  You can imagine the traffic as there is only one bridge at that end of Pensacola Beach.  I'll send you all a link to the photos that Char and I took in an email later.

While Char was performing her "witness" duties at the County Courthouse, I decided to be helpful and do some yard work.  One of the reasons that I live in an apartment now is because I didn't want any yard work or house repairs.  I guess it's different if its' not yours and you just enjoying working outside.  Anyway, it was fun working in the yard - everything here grows so well and it's all green.  Char has a huge yard with all kinds of flowers, plants, trees (even a lemon tree) and a swimming pool - but it's too cold for that right now.

Tomorrow George will be home for the weekend, so we'll get some time together.  During the week, he commutes to the Porch Creek Indian Reservation where he is the head of the medical department.  Therefore, he leaves early in the morning and comes home late in the evening.

Weather today was fantastic, quite a change from what you folks in North Dakota, Washington, New York, and Vermont are experiencing.  Nice working outside in a tee shirt and soaking up the sun (didn't want to rub it in but couldn't resist). 

Take care.

Initial Report from Pensacola

 OK, this is the third time to see if I can make it work as a blog.  As they say, third time's the charm (of course, that is said by people who couldn't do it right the first two times. If you had been following my instructions, you would have gotten updates on a previous blog when we went to Katie and Ryan's wedding.   This now is a completely new blog and one in which I will try to keep you informed about my travels (if you're interested).  I'll send the link again and see what happens.   Again, take care.  Love to all

Atmore, AL

 Today was another beautiful day in Pensacola.  A little on the cool side, but the sun was out and warmed us up considerably.  After breakfast, Char, me, and Debbie Bechtel (friend of Char's who is visiting from St Petersburg, FL), went over to Char and George's rental house which they are cleaning up to put on the market.  A little yardwork and clean-up in the shed and then we went back to Char's.   We decided to take a trip up to Canoe, AL and Atmore, Al (about 45 minutes north of Pensacola).  Char and George have bought a barndomium in Canoe where George can stay and be closer to work at the Poarch Creek Indian Reservation where he is the Medical Director.  If you haven't heard of a barndominium, don't worry - neither had I nor my correction help hadn't either.  It kept trying to give me another word :-).  Effectively, it's a barn in the country with small living quarters attached.  George has a full-size camping trailer which he...
