We have been busy with getting things taken care of around
our place. The yard needed some attention so we tackled that, but also needed
to have some fun. We have managed to get out golfing a few times since we
arrived and one of those times we were playing with the wildlife. I must admit
we seem to be a bit better at golf than they are!
Any of the courses we have played since we got back to
Florida have provided us with an audience of birds, turtles, and alligators. We
pretty much let the alligators play through if they happen to be near the tee
box, fairway or green!

Besides golfing we did decide to go ahead and do some
further remodeling in the house. We have now replaced the living room floor
with the same flooring we put in the bedrooms in February and painted the
living room and dining area. It sure has made the living room look better. We
are now working on a wall to add a special effect. When it is completed I will post some before
and after pictures of our “beach bungalow.”
When not having this type of fun we fish. We decided to go
out on the Intracoastal Waterway at our end of the river with a guide. Steve
enjoys doing this once so he can learn from the locals about the best places
and times. He has been researching a lot so plans on getting our boat out with
the goal of finding the elusive Snook and other great tasting fish that swim
around here. I pretty much just cast and catch!
Speaking of catching, we had a fun morning with Captain
Brian and caught a lot of fish, of which we only kept one. I once again was the
successful fisher person and caught the biggest fish and the only red fish. It
was fun to catch and made a couple of great dinners and is a very nice tasting
fish.
We have also enjoyed walks along the boardwalk that is at
the ocean and nature walks at a nearby park. Both of which you get to see
different things. This family was attempting to get their two young boys to
cooperate long enough to get the perfect Christmas card picture before the
waves hit their sleigh!
Izzy has been having fun at the dog park and on walks. I
think she likes these days much better than when we are out golfing or fishing,
and especially when we are doing the work around the house. She pretty much
lets me know when it is time for her to go out and play or have her dinner.
I Want More!
Nature Walk to the Bay
Christmas has sped by along with the year once again. The
community here held a Christmas dinner and party so we attended. We sat with
our neighbors who are becoming good friends and enjoyed meeting a few more
people. I will post our annual Christmas
letter so those of you that don’t receive it can take a gander if you choose.

Neighbors and Great People
Stay tuned for home improvement updates and my new project!
Cheers from SIT!
