Such an industrious husband you have! Glad you were able to salvage the dinner!

Your trip reports both here and FB have been delightful. Thank you for sharing with us!

Sounds idyllic! Though I'm with the locals - I'd have sat inside too! But then I remember you're probably still thawing out...

I saw the pizza on FB! We have done pizza on the stove that way in Aruba. The crust is definitely more crunchy that way. We have also used a really outdoor grill to cook frozen pizza.

Are you taking Justice to the Keys Liz? We have never visited there. I know there is a boat trip there from Fort Myers. Too much to do for a day trip?

Brrrrrrr! It is chilly here! No real outdoor activities today. We did make some food to support a homeless ministry our church partners with. I brought 2 huge pans of brownies and 6 pounds of cooked frozen mixed veggies! Then we went out to eat! The irony of that! For the cost we could have fed many more people! Oh well, we still did good even if we splurged on ourselves!

We also checked out a flea market/antique shop place that has lots of booths with different vendors. We will check out another one tomorrow. I'm thinking I might try to sell my photography at one of them. I won't do the high end stuff (that also costs me a pretty penny) but rather things like photo cards and smaller framed or matted prints. Things I can print on my home photo printer!

Tomorrow I also have a consult with an oral surgeon for an extraction and eventual implant. Dang expensive dental work. A friend of mine was just telling me that many menopausal woman have dental problems. I never realized there was a correlation between lack of estrogen and dental problems. Yay! More to look forward to!

Yes, Justice is coming. This will be his (and our) third time going for an extended stay. The ferry to Key West gets in around noon I think and leaves at 6. It is close to a 4 hour ride each way so a very long ferry ride for a short stay. Also, it often can be a very rough ride I have heard though my SILs took it to visit with us for a few days in March 2022 and had good rides each way.

Good to know! Yeah, 4 hours each way is a lot!
