At Last ……Sunshine Key

We arrived four weeks ago and were welcomed by old friends and acquaintances who also spend time each year in the warm Florida Keys.  Its quite a place!

Chris's Sunshine Pictures 003 We’re back in our same spot again, and we have been busy!! SSK09,Week1 021

 

Had super ribs with good Friends on the first Friday night there.

Watched our friends from Wisconsin launch their brand new boat

 

 

Albino's rubber boat

 

 

Saw our old boat looking as good as new!

 

 

Our boat off Bare Beach

 

Launched our boat and did some fishing without much success getting skunked and then at another time only getting enough for just one great dinner of fresh snapper.  Weather has not really cooperated.

Don't you love our aprons

 

Volunteered at the ice cream social and also again at the “Havana nights” dinner with authentic Cuban food that was unbelievably good!

Marge found time to decorate our campsite!

Worked on repairing some things on the motorhome.

Some of us passed the bad weather time playing holey ball. Notice the sweatshirts and long sleeve shirts.  Temps were as low as in the high 40’s at night.

Had another dinner out with friends.   Actually it seems we seldom eat at home and are doing a lot of Hors D’oeuvres and potluck with the neighbors.

Visited Key West and explored this beautiful city again.   Found this special sign that’s kind of unique.

Will post more about Key West soon….it’s one of our favorite places.

Food prep for Superbowl party with everyone in the neighborhood.  It does seem that all we do is eat, but such good food.
