Wow, what a great day we had today. It was so beautiful. We left Shell Point at 10:00 and what should have taken us 15-20 min to get to Sanibel turned out to be 1 1/2 hours. The cause was an accident on the causeway. Not much you can do about that. I read and Al got out of the car and smoked his pipe. We were heading to a resort on Sanibel which our friends own a time-share. We go there every year with our group and picnic. When we all arrived, 11 of us, we had a dip in the gulf. It was like a bath. My kind of water. Then we went back to the gazebo and had our lunch, which we had all packed. Some of us made brownies and cakes and some brought watermellon, etc. We ate and then took a dip in the pool, which must have been in the 80's. We did not know that the temp. today was 93 and the heat index was 110. We were cool. How I love the beach. Pretty soon we will be on another beach, my favorite, Ocean City, NJ. I can't wait. Hope the hurricane by passes us this weekend. I don't mind them, I just hate having to leave the condo and trying to decide where we will go. Last time it took Shell Point so long to decide if we had to get out, we were gone by the time they made the decision and found out later, we could have satyed. I guess that give you some insight on our day. It was great. Barb
