Sunday, February 24, 2013

This is my daughter-in-law, Corinne’s birthday. Since she spent some time with us earlier in the month we have already celebrated her special day with her.

We went back to Hope Lutheran Church today and it was our 8^th visit there. They recently had a golf outing event that raised $16,343.00 for their Learning Center.

Once we got back to our condo, we stayed in for the rest of the day. I had gotten behind in writing posts for our blog, so was able to spend time getting it current.

 Our thoughts are beginning to turn back north now since we will be checking out of this home away from home on Thursday. We are not sure if we are going to be able to deal with cold temperatures again.

We spent some time at Delanor-Wiggins Pass State Park today. This is our favorite beach and we just can’t seem to get enough time there.  It most likely is our last time at the beach here in southwest Florida for this year.

There were a lot of people there today. As we were leaving, there were cars lined up at the entrance gate. I am almost positive that they were not allowed to come in until someone went out.

We had our highest temperature today since we have been here. It was 89° at 1:00 p.m. The water temperature at the park was 72° and I noted that the air temperature in Dunkirk was 34°. Wow—what a difference! But, it is going to be cooling down later this week so it might be easier for us to leave.

I attended a follow-up workshop at the club for a session on writing our memoirs. We all shared a bit of the stories we have started. I read parts of my Pennington family story and I was greatly surprised how well it was received and by the positive comments and suggestions that were made. Everyone had wonderful stories and the class agreed that everybody has a story that they should write down and preserve for their children and grandchildren.
