I’m standing on my lanai, which faces precisely west. NBC-2.com says this is burning at Ortiz Avenue, which is maybe 4 miles from my home. As more and more time passes without precipitation and the drought deepens, more and more brush fires are happening.
VERY tart home-made key lime pie.
🙂 This is the little kitchenette at Sanibel’s Blue Dolphin
…"sea brick" 😉
😉 low tide
I just got to a part of the beach where there’s a signal, so reporting that shelling is not great
Blue Dolphin hosted a wine and cheese party this evening.

Turkey club with the ever-present Corona. Pretty good!

Could not just pass by – had to puu over!
There are lots of funny signs posted here and there at McT’s on Sanibel.
Yellowbird, the official drink of the Sanibel Sunday Bar Crawl
PS – I had to edit this as I’d mis-identified it as a “sunbird”
We have made it to McT’s. Sunbird, here we come
Aka Gary and Kim – two GREAT friends <3
Shout out to bloggy friend Gayle; Sunny, Kathleen and the rest of my Talkies sistas; and all the HOs at the Hut.
Love this shirt -"I’m blogging this"
With grilled chicken!
Mr. Snowbird likes the oysters on the half shell
Chicken fingers, potatoes and mushrooms get a thumbs up from Snowbird
I’m stopping at the boat launch just on the Sanibel side of the causeway to take some pics
One hr ten minutes on fort myers trolley – insane!
On the Fort Myers Beach Trolley, originally uploaded by Tink*~*~*.
Note the plush wood panelling interior 😉
BOR-ing!, originally uploaded by Tink*~*~*.
I reckon there’s 1.5 trolleys full of peeps ahead of me. Been waiting 25 minutes and so far there have been two Lovers Key trams and no Summerlin trams. Had fun but this part sucks. If i did this again I’d stay here in one of these hotels rather than do this again.
See the moon?, originally uploaded by Tink*~*~*.
Yep it’s stalking time 😉 i’m sitting on a bench by the holiday inn pool in the shade. 80s tunes – “Don’t you forget about me no no no no as u walk on by…..”

This week’s usual suspects, originally uploaded by Tink*~*~*.
On the right we have the Snowbirds and Gary. On the left, fran hugs Tootie
So-so salad at Biddles, originally uploaded by Tink*~*~*.
I have the impression that it is bottled dressing. Also, we were the ONLY people here and it took a long time to get served. These were the contributing factors toward the listing thumb.

This post is sticky – scroll down for today’s mobile photo blogging
It’s official – I’m sick! Boy does this suck. I let myself sleep late and now I’m going in search of brunch. The sore throat is gone and now we are up to the part where you lie on one side and you get cement on that side of your face. So you turn over and lie on the other side, and the cement slowly transfers itself to that side. If you catch it at the right moment, just as it is crossing over, you can probably manage to expel it via Kleenex, but then more cement just comes to take its place.
Even though this pretty much sucks, I’m still going to the Magic Kingdom today. I will probably take it very easy and just dig the atmosphere and sunshine. It is 73* here in Orlando at the moment. Hopefully the weather will remain pleasant.
OK, that’s it for now. Brunch, and then Magic Kingdom. See ya real soon!
Mmmm, rum!

Some decent stuff, nothing earth shattering. However, there is mac and cheese; thus, it is declared A Good Shelling Day 🙂
