Blogs from Jupiter, Florida, United States, North America

This is just a short update. We had another good day with many of the same activities as yesterday. We had breakfast at the Cracker Barrel again, and pretty much had the same meal. We ran a couple of errands on the way to the ballpark today, but we got to the stadium in plenty of time. We saw the Cardinals win again – this time 6-3 against the Astros. Today Janet had nachos and David had a brat – don’t know what the Sieberts had for their lunch. We saw some of the players we had wanted to watch so that was good. The high today was about 82 degrees, but there was a breeze blowing on-and-off. There was no rain but there were occasional clouds passing overhead making pleasant shade part of the time. ... read more

An enthusiastic air surrounded us as we jumped aboard our black buggy. Buckle up, everyone. Tuesday, we got up early (for me) and journeyed to Jupiter, Florida. Taking the Florida Turnpike made it a straight shot south. Our dear friend, Joe Edgley, and his wonderful family live in Jupiter. Joe and Lill moved here from Wellsville 30+ years ago. Where has the time gone? Joe took a golden handshake from Air Preheater where both he and Cory worked. It was a good decision and the right choice for them but it put so many, too many miles between us for all these years. We've missed all the crazy, fun times we had together. Thankfully, we have kept those memories active by on-going reminiscing. I could write some very interesting blogs about those wild and fun times ... read more

A three hour jaunt and we were in beautiful Jupiter, Florida. Our good friend, Joe Edgley and his family, live here. Lill, Joe's wife and my dear friend, passed away one year ago on April 15th. She is missed deeply by all. Her silent presence was felt throughout but her absence was apparent. It was so nice to see Joe again. And adding to the delight was his son, John, who joined us at our favorite café: French Connection...now known as Cathy's Beach Connection. This was the first restaurant that Lill & Joe took us several years ago. It made a lasting impression on us with it's simple outdoor, relaxing atmosphere. Their grouper dinner is scrumptious. That is what we ordered this time, also. Consistently perfect. If in the area, make sure you go here! Lulu ... read more

My sister Denise arrived today to get out of the cold of NJ. She arrived on the evening flight so all we did the first day was go out for dinner and catch up. We found a wonderful Italian place with seating outside and even after dark it was warm enough to enjoy the beautiful air. The next day we spent at the beach. The sky was a deep blue and there was a light breeze that made it perfect. We brought lunch with us so no need to move from the sand. I took some bird pictures, Dee knitted and we kept up our steady chatter. That night on the way home we spotted an eagle nest but the lighting was terrible so I vowed to try another day for that perfect shot. The followind ... read more

It was a slow start to the day. I didn’t get up til after 8 and the am routine was sluggish too. I caught up on some phone calls then decided to take Oscar for his morning walk to the river store for some milk so I could have cereal for breakfast. We had a great walk through the forest and on the way spotted this tree that is just clinging to the earth. It is so eroded, there can’t be much holding it up. Picture No milk in the store so plan B was in order for breakfast. I talked to some people on the way home and decided to go to the beach and explore Jupiter Island. It was a beautiful day and getting hotter by the minute so the beach it was to ... read more
