DAY 28: TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2021: A FULL DAY AHEAD

At 6:30, I was up, dressed, ready to head to the waterfront. Tom did a great job setting up the paddleboard on the dollie. It was easy to transport to the marina, slip the board in at the launch ramp, and off I went. The area is beautiful. The canals show a completely different side of the park. I stayed on the west side of the park riding up and down the canals and in the basin. I headed out the entrance of our marina but turned around and came back. The area was shallow, not that it mattered but it was unnerving. I didn't want to meet any large marine animals with fins and very sharp teeth in the Gulf of of Mexico.

I continued up and down the canals viewing the water side of the homes I see on the road when I am running. It is amazing how many people were awake and said hello. People on their decks drinking coffee, fishermen getting ready to launch their boats, and people just hanging around with their dogs. I stayed out for quite a while, then came in so I could do Dawn's 426 Circuit Breaker Class. I am hoping to go out on the water again tomorrow. 

I DIDN'T WANT TO MEET THE CROCODILE THE SIGN SAYS LIVE HERE (BUT NO ONE HAS SEEN HIM)

After a great class by Dawn, I went to play pickleball with my new raquette and balls. It was fun , of course, and hot. But, I didn't really feel the heat. I was concentrating.  I played 5 games. I am working on my tan for sure. The sunscreen melted off. Playing felt so good. Linda said I was a natural ! Ha, no, I just can run around the court pretty quickly.  Need to work on serving!

At noon, I had made a peanut butter vanilla  smoothy.  Boy, was that refreshing. 

I spoke to mom and Michael, and texted with Sharon and Steph. Emails from Grace allowed us to set up a lunch date. 

I heard from Rodmey that Rashel did so well on her math test today.  Maybe all that work with chocolate chips and place value paid off.!Ha!

At 1:30, Tom and I went to Winn Dixie and did a huge shopping for us to entertain Burt and Claudia this weekend. Tom went to the chiropractor and I ran a few more errands.  

When we returned to the Resort, we went to Flamingle. Dinner was pick up and take out. We sat at a picnic table and enjoyed pulled pork with all the "fixins".

We added wine and sat by the water.

MARINA ENTRANCE INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO

After dinner we went for a bike ride. Sylvia asked that we join Square dancing again. We decided not to do this this year. Tom really isn't interested. 

I wanted to put in more photos but the internet is horrible and won't let me send photos from my phone to the Ipad.
