Uncle Tommy visits....

August 30, 2011, Tuesday.....Ray's brother Tommy was ready for a road trip....almost always we are ready for a road trip...especially if it means going away with the Airstream.....Tommy settled in on Treasure Island and we set up at Fort DeSoto Campground..... .....fairly constant rain was the weather situation....but it really didn't matter....we get more than plenty of sun and rainy days are a favorite change of pace.....here at the Ka Tiki they had their rain flaps tied down.....and Ray was the designated driver.....  ....sunset from our campsite..... 

we had a great visit.....hope to meet at another camping spot soon....

448th Post.....Rainbow Springs....

August 20, 2011...Just north of us you run into Spring Country....and it is delightful....water is The Source....and in Florida, the legislators are trying to lessen regulations on polluting our water treasure....it is such backassward thinking.....tea party thinking.....as I said....backassward.....  .....in the winter, Manatees use the Springs to stay warm......in the summer, we use them to keep cool....and to feed our souls..... .....our souls are hungry.....and thirsty...... 
.....and sometimes during mindful soul feeding, I run into interesting and handsome men....I like that.....  
...... I do.....

Having a Mother Cardinal use the cat's water dish as a bathtub is risky.....

    

Friday, August 5, 2011....ok....here I am again....at home....but in June at Geiger Key close to Key West.....a great place....water,kayaks, snorkel and fins, rod and reel, a tiki hut, Airstream, on-site bar with live music, son, husband, granddog and our Hannah....really close to the ideal and still be in this country.....
