The sun has set.

Jan. 19 - 25    We have had cooler weather this week here in the Keys.  We even have turned off the air because of the breeze outside is cool (in high 60's at night) and low 70's during the day.  The sun and blue sky are still with us so the days have been very nice.  Last Saturday we drove over the 7 Mile Bridge to Big Pine Key and went to a flea market. We bought a few things but not as much as 2 yrs. ago.  When we got home Walt and Diane Hess, people we met 2 yrs. ago, had just arrived.  They are from Ft. Wayne, IN.  Around 5:30 all of us went over to the beach area here in the campground and watched the sunset.  We have done that every evening now since they got here. Our morning routine is usually have breakfast, walk or ride bikes over on old 7 mi. bridge, then come back and wash the dishes, then run some errands.  After lunch we will either go to the beach or stay here and sit in our lounge chairs and nap and read our books. Such a hard life.  Last Monday night we went and played Bunco.  On Wed. night we went and played Bingo.  Friday Walt and Diane asked if we wanted to go to Bahia Honda State Park and sit on the beach while they kayak.  They even let me try to kayak; I did pretty good.  Mike has no interest to try the kayak.  It is a real nice beach and very shallow and the sand is so white.  Sat. night we made margaritas and took them over to the sunset.  It is a strange mix - 1 can of limeade, 1 can of tequila and 1 can of beer, add ice and stir do not shake.  It tasted very good.  At night Mike and I play cards.  One night I won all the games but lately he has been winning, a couple of times by just one point.
