Jim Elliott's Adventure's: Rockets Red Glow

Another few days and even more adventures.

Two weeks ago, I was on the beach on kinda of a warm day. As a typical tourist I took off my shirt and walked to the end of the beach.

Walking away, I was warm but on the way back the weather changed to a little cooler. The results of which, I caught another bad cold.

So, we didn't accomplish too much for a week.

Thursday, we scheduled a visit from our friends Ed & Judie Valkanet. They drove from Ft. Myers to Rotonda just for the afternoon and we had no idea what we were going to do with them.

We came up with the idea of going to the island of Boca Grande. Its a richie titchie island and cost $4 to cross a privately built bridge.

Then we went to the Loose Caboose restaurant for a nice lunch.

Returned to the house and said goodbye to them after a nice day together.

Friday, Karolyn and her sister signed up with Century 21 to list their parents house. Monday the sales folks will come on over and take photos.

In the meantime we must clean up the house. 65 years of collecting stuff. We packed up much of the stuff in garbage bags and stored them in the garbage can. Next Tues a big green truck with gracefully pick up the can and empty the stuff with other peoples stuff.....

We pooped out around 10—11pm and while watching tv saw a rocket take off from the Cape. The sky was really clear so we ran outside and looking to the northeast saw the Rocket cross the sky.

It was really cool.

Today we went to visit Granny at the home. But we got there a little early and decided to join friends at the Free Hot Dog Bar on Siesta Key.

They really taste good, and would even if they weren't free. I did buy a coke and Karolyn and Nancy had a few beers.

We visited granny and were on the way home when we decided to look for the sunset. We were in Englewood and pulled down the main st hoping to find some water and the sunset.

Surprise, a super large carshow on the street. A hundred bright and shiny cars. Wow, just what we needed.
