Who would actually rent this limo?

This limo was parked at a hotel nearby.  I've never seen a zebra-striped limo!

Maybe it belongs to Jack Hanna!

Remembering Tropical Storm Lee- September 2011

Over Labor Day weekend, Tropical Storm Lee hit Destin with rain and wind, causing high surf.  We couldn't resist hitting the beach!

Check out our new slickers, from Bass Pro Shop.  Perfect for storm chasing.

It was definitely red flag conditions!

my honey bunny

We couldn't get out on the beach, the surf was too high, and there were squalls with lightning!

After the storm, the ghost crabs and birds could come out and reclaim their beach.

Those are ghost crabs holes all over the beach.

The birds could actually wade in the water and fly.

And T.S. Lee is just a memory...

Ha, and you thought I wouldn't get another post in before Sept was over!

Today was a play day for me.  I was off so, with the Geo's top open for maximum sunshine, I went exploring and shopping. I can spend more time in Goodwill, just looking.  My "honey bunny" goes in and does a quick pass thru' and is ready to move on.  Me, I go up and down each aisle, just checking things out, wondering "Can I use this?" or "This is perfect for ____".  I found a pair of white pants from Chico's.  And yes, I will be wearing them after Labor Day! So there Fashion Police!!!  
    

Sorry for the delay between posts, but I do have an excuse!

By now most of you are not impressed with my blogging...I tend to procrastinate and do everything else but blog.  I must admit I am also addicted to Spider Solitare.  When I sit down at the computer, the little spider icon just taunts me, until I touch it and then I have to play the new cards I have been dealt!  Once I win, I, of course play again, and my winning streak is on the line.  So...it is a vicious web of Spider solitare that I get caught in.  So today, after only 2 games of solitare, here I am writing.  Yeah, you have a new post to read. Please check back soon, as I am really (yes, really) going to try to post on a much more regular basis than once a month. 

My little marine world

Thought you might like to see my little underwater world.  I have a small (2 gallon) marine tank set up.  In the past, my husband was in charge of our fishtanks, setting them up,etc.  Now I get to try to keep the little tank going without too many mistakes.  So far so good! 
 It has brought me literally hours of enjoyment, watching all the little critters in it.  I have a couple of shrimp, a little fish, some snails and hermit crabs, starfish, and oh yes, some bristle worms.  The worms are the tank maids-they clean up any old food sitting around.  Here are some pictures of my fishtank-

Will post more pictures as I add to my mini reef.

Don't lose that float!

This was seen going down the road-the float was flying in the wind, but still attached to their truck-

Retirement is great!

Well it is the night before the first day of school and I am not getting last minute things ready for a new class of kids.  Instead I am listening to Buffett, knowing retirement was definitely the right choice.  I am still teaching, but on my terms-

and about things I love-fish, jellies, crabs, sea turtles, and even how to make sandcastles!  And who could ask for a more fantastic classroom!?  Isn't it great?

I can't wait for tomorrow...now it feels like I have retired!
