Are You Celebrating National Dance Day?

Read about it at this Link: http://dance.blogs.fox.com/tag/national-dance-day/

It's Saturday July 21st. I'm wondering, are there any flash mobs set up in Hernando or Citrus County Florida?

I'm just sayin'...not everybody can easily get to the one Tampa location that is listed...

Underwater Photos While Scalloping

I went scalloping yesterday and took my underwater digital camera that I bought a couple years ago from Avon for $29.00. I never tried it out yet

so I wonder if it even works...it's an awfully cheap digital camera...

It was an absolutely gorgeous day!

We had a ball swimming around and got quite a few scallops too.

At about 3:30pm, I took off my suit of armour and decided it wouldn't hurt to get a little sun on my pale skin...

oops...

It hurts!

Never underestimate the power of the Florida Sun!!

Even so late in the day, my back looks like a lobster.

All in all it was a terrific day.

Here's a couple shots that I took while snorkeling:

This is Me lol

Not too bad for a cheapie little camera.
Your comments are free and I'm just sayin'... ouch, sunburn pain...use sunscreen!

It's Scallop Season On The Gulf Of Mexico

I finally went out last Sunday because it was supposed to be a beautiful day.

Those dog gone weather forecasts! 30% chance...Ha!

It started out very nicely,

just getting in the water and floating around was so relaxing.

 We weren't finding very many scallops, and there were 5 of us out there looking for them.
  We moved to a few different spots, with not much luck.

Except for Petie,

She came back to the boat with her bag full.

Then, looking back towards land,

big dark clouds......lightning.....OMG!!!

I was not too comfortable with that sight.

Then to top it off, in the opposite direction - MORE DARK CLOUDS!!

yikes

We were sandwiched in between both storms. As the storm further out started getting closer, the decision was made to head back to land.

It was a semi-rough ride and the rain started coming down in bucket fulls.

I'm writing about this today,
 so as you can see,
we made it back just fine.

After arriving home the guys cleaned all the scallops. 
There ended up being about a pint of meat.

It was for the most part an enjoyable excursion

and plans are to do it again this weekend.

I think I will just look to the sky's

rather than worry about weather forecasts this week.

I'm just sayin' . . . Happy Scalloping!

A Good Time Was Had

The guys left early yesterday morning and were back by 2pm with their limit of scallops. I didn't go with, because of the weather and the seas were pretty choppy. I like fair weather and calm seas.
It's been raining for the last few days here, so we blew off going to the fireworks display up town. But we had a wonderful impromptu, relaxing dinner with our neighbors. Grilled chicken, burgers, potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, watermelon and fruity jello. Lots of good conversation. I couldn't ask for any more!
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I sure did!

God Bless America Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day Eve
