Last night My Lady and I returned from four days and nights in Florida near Cocoa Beach. It was 92 degrees when we arrived Wed. evening with high humidity and it felt like a sauna to us.
We visited our oldest daughter to witness her being honored for completing training as an X-Ray Technician. My wife and I are very proud of this accomplishment and know that she has chosen well as this career fits her life experience and character well.
For the second time in out life together my wife and I (she's not a "morning person") watched the sun rise over the ocean one morning and then went to breakfast to celebrate. Another morning we sat at a waterside park and had our morning coffee and muffins while watching four creatures we are pretty sure were Manatees slowly moving along the edge of the boat channel a hundred yards or so off shore. When we were searching for a place to buy the coffee etc. we crossed a bridge and pulled over onto a dirt track for a while to watch four dolphins pass by. One of them was smaller than the others and must have been a youngster.
We saw a couple of Blue Herons and they were so tame we got within fourty feet or so before they even noticed us.
Yesterday at about 8AM my wife and I heard a sound that could have only been an explosion!! A bit later our Granddaughter told us that a de-commisioned power plant was emploded less than two miles away by air!! We later saw a video of the whole thing and were sorry we didn't know about it so we could have watched it being turned to rubble.
Two and a half hours of 35,00 feet flying in a 737 brought us safely back to Rhode Island and an hours drive found us back home in Connecticut
Even with a few bumpy spots on the return flight we have had a wonderful four days of quality time to remember. Life is good!!
Happy Monday to you one and all!!

It's always the mini excursions away that prove the most enjoyable.
