Tuesday, October 10
The trip continues, with lots of family time and important conversations. But I will admit that it isn't all work and worry.
I only spent about an hour at the beach (including changing time before and after the water) but it was a marvelous release to paddle around in the Gulf. The day was about 80 and overcast, so the water wasn't its unual briliant blue, but I didn't care; for that one hour I was in my happy place.
I hope to be back here with regular posts soon, and I thank you all for your patience while I am on this break.
This picture from 2021 is more what it looks like on a sunny day, and even then the camera can't really capture the amazing colors of the Gulf. We are fortunate to have a "native guide" to help us find a less-crowded public beach in the development-crowded Florida Gulf Coast.
