Mar. 23 -29   On Saturday after breakfast we went to a flea market out by Interstate 95 again because I saw something I wanted to get our grandchildren.  After the flea market we went down to old town in St. Augustine to a big Arts and Crafts Festival.  It poured just before we got there so the field had huge puddles where all the booths were.  It started to thunder so we went back to the car and got there just before it started to rain again.  We spent the day in the RV because we had severe thunder storms rolling through.  It poured very hard and we even had hail the size of a large gumball, luckily no damage.  The weather channel even said there was a threat of tornadoes, I was a little scared cause where could we go??  Luckily no tornadoes showed up.  Sunday we walked on the beach in the morning.  In the afternoon we went over to Tom and Mary's and played cards and had dinner too.  Monday we walked on the beach in the morning.  It was blue sky, sunny, cold wind blowing and in the 60's.  In the afternoon  I went and sat on the beach and read.  In the evening we had dinner at Red Frog and McToads with Tom and Mary and we played Trivial Pursuit at the restaurant.  We came in 4th out of 14 teams.  Tuesday morning we got up to 52 degrees in and 45 degrees out.  After breakfast we took our walk on the beach. There was a small stingray on the beach, neat looking.  While Mike took a nap I went to the front office and reserved a campsite for next year.  We went out to dinner with Tom and Mary then came back to the RV and played cards.  Wednesday we got up to 45 degrees inside the RV - brrrr and 40 degrees outside.  In the afternoon I went down to the beach and sat on the boardwalk over the dunes bench and read.  At 2:00 I went back up to the RV because Anne and Don Hutchins were coming for a visit.  We sat outside on the boardwalk bench then came inside and played games - Phase 10 (dice), Fan Tan (cards).  Then we went out to dinner at the Sunset Grille.  We came back and played more games - Fan Tan, Phase 10 (cards), and Rummycube.  Thursday we took a walk on the beach in the morning.  In the afternoon I went back down to the bench and sat and read.  Still sunny but cold and windy.  Good Friday Mike got up early and went golfing with Tom. Then we met Tom and Mary for breakfast.  We spent the afternoon on the beach.  We saw a paddle boarder and also pelicans standing on the beach; never seen that before. That evening we went with Tom and Mary and Evelyn to Tom and Mary's church for a fish fry dinner.  After dinner we went back to Tom and Mary's house and played cards.
