We arrived safely in Venice on Jan. 1. There were fresh beet greens and green beans waiting for us in our garden. Worms ate my cukes.
Guess I need to do some research with the extension service to see what I can do to rectify that another year.
We were perfectly fine with trading in Maine snow for the creatures and snowy sands of the gulf.
Allan's sister, Terry, and her best bud Ernie, came down from Knoxville to spend January and February here in the Venice area.
We enjoyed having them around to do stuff with this winter. One of the things we did together was check out the Beach Bazaar and Drum Circle at Nokomis Beach.
You never quite know who will show up to dance in the drum circle.
Dave and Sue made a one night stopover while traveling from Disney to Naples. Always a fun time.
Sue's long time friend Dawn and her husband Rick have had a house built here in Venice just up the street from us. We have lent a helping hand throughout this process. We've kept an eye on the house, checking it on a weekly basis. I've waited hours for multiple vendors and furniture deliveries.
This winter Dawn was able to find employment down here and they were due to arrive with their two macaws and dynamic dog. The birds were traveling in pet carriers all the way from NH with their chauffeurs driving straight through. That's about a 24 hour trip.
Among the many new items that they had purchased for their home were two huge cages for the birds, Max and Jojo. They were sure that the birds would be pleased to have their new homes waiting for them here in sunny warm Florida. However, they were in the boxes that they arrived in until Allan spent some time assembling them.
We did manage to get him out of the cage and have them both ready for the birds arrival.
