Pelicans - our constant companions and friends??
Friend?? He tried to bite me!!
Spending time with Don's cousin, Dick and Linda B. at their condo about 3 miles from our marina.
Cookouts, fix-it projects, enjoying the pool, IA Girls State Basketball (our alma mater - Pella Christian) on the internet, out for seafood, out for a cruise on the Atlantic Ocean (watching dolphins play in the inlet), dinner with former and current Pella folks and Sunday services at an outdoor bar (Archies) near the beach.
This is a cool place - ate supper here one night - come as you are - No shirt, No shoes, No problem.
And it's a church on Sunday mornings !! Very casual. Great music.
Mini Birthday Celebration for the 70 and soon to be 70 year olds!
Can you believe it - 70 years old. It seems like a short time ago Dick and I were chasing around Pella in our Mercurys checking out the girls and getting traffic tickets. (I think I got more tickets, not because Dick didn't have a heavy right foot, he was better at not getting caught.) Now we sit around with our aches and pains. But we really can't complain. We have been blessed and have so much to be thankful for.
Are they done? No, not quite...
Dick knows his way around a barbecue grill.
There has been work on the beach ever since we arrived - moving sand from about 5 miles out in the Atlantic Ocean to the beach by Ft. Pierce. It's something for us to check on every day. The beach was actually 4X bigger when we got back from the Keys! This project should be done here in a couple of weeks. In fact, the beach was open today, for the first time since we've been here. There are open beaches all up and down the coast, so we can walk there and wade in the surf.
The NEW beach!
They're working on the street right by our marina also, so we get to hear and see the progress.
Ocean Village (Dick & Linda's Place) from the Ocean.
Goodbye, Fort Pierce........
