Monday, March 2, 2026 Gary and Julie had lunch at the hotel restaurant, then called to tell us to pose on the balcony. We are on floor 16. They had struck up a conversation with the friendly bartender and ended up with buckets of drinks. Julie offered me a taste of her Voodoo drink. I […]
Sunday, March 1, 2026 The weather said it was going to be 69° and sunny today, so I was planning to sit on the beach. I didn’t. It was sunny, but it topped out in the low 60s, and it was windy. We walked on the beach and enjoyed the shells.
Saturday, February 28, 2026 Keith took Barbara and Jerry to the airport at 4:15 this morning. They were continuing their vacation visiting friends in Mobile. We got a late check out and they texted from Alabama before I got out of bed. We drove around, lunched, shopped and checked into our new hotel. This one
Friday, February 27, 2026 Jerry and Barbara have ice cream for lunch every Friday. Keith and I try to support our friends in all of their beliefs, so we scheduled lunch at Friendly’s restaurant today. Friendly’s is not available to us in MN or WI, so we go whenever we see one on our travels.

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 We picked well again for our dinner restaurant. The Grumpy Mustache was full of locals, including a table of 21 from a local church. There was just one waitress who heroically attended to us all. Barbara was enticed by a fried bologna sandwich and I was swept away by the offer

Monday, February 23, 2025 There are a gazillion restaurants here. Choosing what you would like to eat and where to get it is a little bit of a challenge. We agreed we would like to have lunch. The next step was harder. Barbara remembered seeing a place as they came into town that was Something

Sunday, February 22, 2026 I saw the direction post at the pool the other day and was really surprised to see Traverse City on the bottom. Our people were coming from TC! What were the chances?! (Benjamin?) I looked it up. To drive from here to there (or there to here) is 1023 miles. I
Saturday, February 21, 2026 Jerry and Barbara came! We went out for dinner, and everyone (but me) had fried Flounder. Like Ariel’s friend? Yes, like Ariel’s friend (but real-life flounder are really not cute, not yellow and blue, almost not 3-D).
