Too long gone

Big sigh. No specific reason that we have been away from the blogger world but we're back. Speaking of back- the momma's just returned from a week long tour of medical centers in Florida. We were visiting sick family members on both the east and west coast of Florida. We took a short break from the sterile institutions and checked out the manatees again at Blue Springs like we did 4 years ago. This time there were more than 200 in the springs staying warm away from the unseasonably cold weather. Saw a big old alligator too.

Checked out the beach on the Atlantic side and also on the Gulf side but both were too cold to get in but I did spot a dolphin playing in the water.

Met some nice birds on the beach where we had a couple of adult beverages with friends before we left to come home.

And spotted a happy 4-legged with his human relaxing on a bench a few yards away.

Speaking of 4-legged's- Bentley, Roux, Walter, and Bridgette say Hello!

As you can tell in the picture above, the Bentman is still a loudmouth.

I almost forgot. I met these two cuties at our friends the day before we left- Max and George. They gave me some much missed critter time the day before we left to come back home. That George is a toy playing fool just like the Roux.
