Monday
Letter from Mimi. She's surrounded by birds and buds. Spring has sprung at the farm.
Wednesday
L up for a visit. She's just begun as chef at a gay, clothing-optional, B&B. Only in Key West!
Thursday
L&I were out to breakfast and saw a pelican fly down the beach with someone's pants hanging from his beak!
Saturday
Sight of the Night: Gulf lit up by full moon from Blind Pass Bridge (great stars).
Sunday
Nemo dragged in about 8 a.m. after cattin' around all night. Seduced by the full moon again. Where does he go? Half-mile to the nearest restaurant . . .
Tuesday
C&G starting to talk about going back north. Always sad when they leave. Hope they got some good sailing in this season.
Friday
Kelsie gets more beautiful each day; being an island kid suits her. We went to an art exhibit after school.
Saturday
TO DO: Find out what to plant for summer.
Rake pine needles.
Fill bird feeders.
Sunday
Long breakfast outdoors, walk on beach, cards by the pool, dinner with L&K. Life is rough!
Tuesday
My first attempt at making seafood gumbo. Not bad!
Thursday
Gopher tortoise at the crossing today.
Sunday
Flew over the islands this afternoon. Water was crystal clear. Envy the guy who flies the biplane every day. What a job.
Monday
Caught a lizard in the house. Got him out before Nemo found him. H&R leaving soon...I'm not looking forward to good-byes, as usual.
Tuesday
Osprey woke us up today. His timing's pretty good, but how do we explain weekends to him?
Thursday
Farewell dinner with C&G, darn it. H&R are next. How long until November?
Saturday
Osprey alarm at 7 a.m. Now there's a problem they don't have in the city. Guess I have to laugh.
Sunday
Rented a boat; went to North Cap with J&M for breakfast.
Friday
L&K's for cocktails at sunset. Went by dinghy. I did the rowing; S did the riding.
Monday
M&D leaving soon. About time for that tree frog to move back into their mailbox.
Thursday
Beautiful tuna at the market today; sushi at home tonight! Sushi place on Sanibel has wreaked blissful havoc on the family budget. Be careful what you pray for!
Friday
Modeled new swimsuit and sarong for S & Nemo.
Sunday
Strawberry daiquiris today for the fun of it. Wrote C&G, H&R. Watched my fav island movie on T.V. tonight: 'Mediterraneo.'
