well, i am not retired yet, nor am I on vacation. So it is with great sadness that I leave the island and the company of friends to return to mundane life on the mainland. Until next time!

The pickle chips were mostly declared "ok" and the potato skins got the "eh, take it or leave it" thumb

Biddle’s Fish
In the Biddle’s on Sanibel (not to be confused with the Biddle’s in Fort Myers), there’s this neon fish on the wall that I’m told my buddy Dale would love to purloin and hang in her own crib.

Boo-boo foot update; shelling can give you blisters!

Boo-boo foot update; shelling can give you blisters!, originally uploaded by Tink*~*~*. 11 Jan ’09, 12.42pm EST PST
Many of you are aware of a foot injury that happened in mid-ish December and put me on the bench from running. I won’t be off the bench again until Jan 21, which is hopefully the date that the doc says it is ok to start again. Surprisingly, I miss it – so much so that I actually dreamed of running last night!
Anyhow – the foot seems to be a little swollen still. My shelling shoes are tight on that side, and I got a blister yesterday. Tootie gave me a Care Bears band aid to put on it, to keep my regular shoes from rubbing too much. She actually said at first that she had The Little Mermaid band aids, but apparently was fresh out…. 😉
We are getting ready to leave soon for Super Crawl Sunday, so stay tuned!

Dreedging equipment at Blind Pass
Well, some people may be finding good stuff as a result od the dredging, but not this morning. Stunning negative low tide, expansive tidal pool and even more expansive sand bar – not much in the way of shells. Glad we went though, because it was beautiful out here this morning.
Alive
Low tide omg!

Jan 10-11: Epic shelling and friends weekend on Sanibel Island
Heading out to Sanibel Island to meet up with friends. We’ve got a full moon, negative low tides in the early mornings, and plans for Super Crawl Sunday, with more people joining the Sunday Sanibel Bar Crawl than ever before. Hoping to find some good shells! OK, gotta go pack a bag. Whenever I have a signal, I’ll be sending photos here to the blog to chronicle all the fun. SCROLL DOWN TO SEE NEW POSTS, THIS ONE IS STICKY THROUGH SUNDAY! *~*~*
