Friday, February 18

Ahhhh, another perfect day and spent almost the entire day outdoors soaking up all this sun and warmth!    Picked Mike and Theresa up at their hotel and we were off to Sanibel and Captiva.   Nice drive amongst all the vegetation, huge homes, etc.    We had planned to drive on the 4-mile tour of the Ding Darling Wildlife and Nature Center; however, it is closed on Fridays!    Aaarrrghhhh.........so, we hiked the Indigo Trail with Mike, the biologist, as our guide identifying the various birds.

Here come the hikers - Mike, Theresa and Mark

Pretty flamingo

Then off to The Green Flash for scrumptuous lunch on the water and leisurely trip back to Fort Myers.    It was a fun day enjoying all of nature's grand beauty!

Mark's sister Doris and husband, Rich arrived this afternoon and staying on FMB.   Looking forward to all 6 of us being together on Monday! 
 Here's wishing you a great weekend and keep on melting that snow up north!

Say HI to Theresa for me. I am sure that we were campers together at Shaw-waw-nas-see and became penpals after that. Glad to see that you are having lots of fun. Hope that Mark's dad has as much luck and comfort with his pacemaker as my dad does. Keep smiling. Happy Birthday! (Say HI to the Gridley folks B&R too!) Debbi
