I could be a shell horder, is that a "thing"?



On our way to St Augustine we stopped at our favorite potty spot, yes there are real restrooms. It has a wonderful boardwalk and rocks to explore and usually a few shells to collect.


We were totally surprised at what we saw when we looked over the side of the boardwalk down to the beach area.
We had not come up this way last year so we are not sure if the damage to the beach occurred after the 2017 or 2016 hurricanes. But, what a landmine of shells were there to be had this trip!!


The whole area had been reconfigured by the storms and there were tons of shells all over, which is pretty rare for our part of the coast to begin with, so we were in heaven. 



Even the guys got in on the shell hunting it was so good. We could have spent the entire day collecting interesting shells but, our plan was to continue to St Augustine so we did, picture a sad face here.



It was a great surprise to find so many shells and it only added to to excitement of the day, so I didn't feel too badly continuing on our journey.

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u...

A Birthday party 🥳

  Tuesday night we celebrated the birthday of a close friend. We went out to eat at a local well-known restaurant in new Smyrna call The Garlic. I have wanted to go there for years, so it made the celebration extra special for me. What a wonderful surprise, it really is an interesting restaurant. I haven’t seen a restaurant as decked out as this one in years. They have so many wonderful things to look at and the food was incredible.  The dishes that they served the food in really made the meal amazing. Everyone had a lot of fun and went away full and happy. It’s definitely a place to go for a very special occasion. I would definitely look forward to doing it again.
