Monday, March 31st – Our Last Day in Florida.

 

We awoke to cloudy skies this morning and it remained so for the entire day.
 
 

We have seen a lot of different sights on, across and over our lake while we have been here. One time, it was the MetLife Blimp. When the wind is coming from a certain direction we see more airplanes taking off from the airport. We saw the resident alligator several times and there are always are various birds and ducks. But, today we saw something totally different. We heard a loud noise and thought there must be some excavation going on in the neighborhood. Upon further investigation, we were surprised to see an air boat that had launched right beside our yard. We couldn’t figure out what it was doing in this lake and then we saw it spraying something on the island. We were glad that they had not come to remove the alligator.
 

 

Having little sunshine today made it easier for me to pack up everything and think about leaving this beautiful warm area. It has been a wonderful three months and I am glad that we decided to stay longer this year—especially since there has been so much snow at home.
 

 

We watched the Orioles home opener game on television and were remembering when we went to their spring training home opening game in Sarasota. We were happy that they beat Boston today.
 
We went back to my favorite restaurant, Skip One, for dinner tonight. I sure will miss this delicious gulf shrimp, but it will give me something to look forward to for next year. We are physically ready to leave bright and early tomorrow morning and head back to Maryland.
 
We were blessed with another pretty sunset tonight. It reminded me that God is in His glory and all is right.
