Still loving Florida with such great weather. We started off April preparing for the worst, as we clean and lubricate the hurricane shutters should we need them. Hopefully we’ll pass this year without a hurricane, just like last year. We stopped a while in our preparations to welcome George and Polly for a visit. From the 11th thru the 16th we caught up, ate, relaxed and visited some of the areas many features. Saturday we toured the Botanical Gardens in Port St Lucie. Sunday we visited Summer Crush Winery and enjoyed a “Mustang” car show and good Beach music, along with friends Rowdy and Chris. Luckily the winery had plastic curtains for the late afternoon thunderstorms; they were heavy this day. The weather cleared Monday so George, Polly and I jumped on Apolonia for a couple hour boat ride down the ICW. Carey wasn’t able to go on the boat ride as she is still in rehab for the new knee operation. She’ll be ready in a week or two. CLICK on first picture to see larger version of file.
Easter Sunday was to be a quiet dinner with family. Carey and I drove to Jan and Tom’s home in Vero for what was to be a fantastic meal while enjoying good company — and we did enjoy both fantastic food and good company. The only hick-up to the day, and it was a minor one, was that I tripped on the steps going back into the house after going out for a bottle of wine. The fall caused a serious cut to my forehead. Luckily the urgent care facility was empty and they had me in, cleaned up, sewn up with 9 stitches, and out the door in just over 30 minutes. We headed back to Jan and Tom’s and continued the day. Now, I just have to recoup from the cut and accompanying bruising.
