JANUARY DAYS IN FLORIDA



 The days here are filled with "abundant" sunshine.  It is what the weather network has been calling our days!

We were told before we came to the panhandle of Florida that there would be a much cooler climate than further south.  But honestly, I cannot complain at all.  The view of the Gulf of Mexico from our little villa is beyond belief. 

The dolphins continue to be
the source of almost daily joy to us snowbirds that live in this area.   The dolphin photo was just me clicking and clicking away.  The pod of dolphins amused us for about an hour and a half!  Bliss!

There was a woman here whose name was Nancy...and she brought her sewing machine and pieced this top while on vacation.  She did say that she wished she had cut her fabrics at home before she came here.    The quilt is for a little girl.  It is very cute.

Life has been good except for a persisting tooth ache this winter, so I am biting the bullet and going to a dentist here.  It is a situation where we contact our insurance company, find a dentist (done), call for an appointment, call the insurance company and they then call the dentist with a number....I think that is how it will go as we haven't used any medical problems at all.  I am in pain again, so we must deal with it.    Ah the perils of aging....the bloody teeth that I've paid thousands over the years....we shall see.

Thank you blogger for letting me post photos today.

sorry for the tooth problem - I have told Mike while we travel that the time might come where we have to do what you are doing and find a dentist or doctor also - hope it won't be a nightmare of a problem.
Lovely dolphins.

Oh I miss the ocean! We did several shows down in Florida last year and just love it there! You are one lucky gal!

What a lovely view - we live near the ocean - but not on the ocean - it would be lovely - and the temperatures,oh my. We have our persistent PNW rain rain rain and highs of 44 and lows of 42 - but not to complain- it could be snowing and -20.

Hope that tooth is now sorted and you are pain free. Tooth pain is miserable. Lucky you watching the dolphin show.
