Snippets From The Horken House

David and I spent time at Englewood Beach.  The water was spectacular.  Some people were swimming but not us.  We were perfectly happy to absorb the sun.  I took a long walk down the beach to collect some interesting shells.

The waves seemed high today.  This lady actually took a swim.  I talked with her and she is from Canada.  She lives on the water but it's too cold to swim at any time.  She couldn't resist!

We enjoyed a fire at Roger and Lee Ann's.  Their neighbors, Kathy and Jim were also invited.  We roasted hotdogs, had salads and finished off with Strawberry Pie.  It was a great night to be outside.

It's always fun to shop a little.  You have to find something to do on those "cool" days when the beach is not calling us.

We had lunch at an old fashioned Soda Fountain in Venice. 

Sunday after church we headed up to Venice for the Arts Festival.  The weather was perfect for it and we spent an enjoyable time browsing amongst the vendors.

Okay....I have one package!  Not bad!  Actually there was way too much to choose from.  Couldn't make up my mind.

Afterwards we had dinner at Sharky's on the water.

Towards late afternoon it starts to cool down so jackets are necessary.In April and May they tell us it is warmer in the evenings.  We are not complaining about "cooler" temperatures.  After all (as David and I keep reminding each other)....it's January!!  Bye for now!!
