Perfect Day








Today was a perfect day! The day we have dreamed of for 2 years. (But in my dreams, it was hotter.) 80 degrees, sunny, clear blue skies, a light breeze off the ocean. We got up bright and early and went to the Venice farmers market for fresh, local, organic produce. Then we drove up to the Sarasota farmers market and got more! Plus they had a 'Go Green' event with all sorts of cool vendors giving away free stuff. I love free stuff! Afterwards, we went home, made some fresh caught shrimp for lunch - my favorite. (Take note, never get between a fat girl and her shrimp - you will lose fingers. I promise.) Then, we took a bike ride up to beach - all 3 blocks! We sat and watched the waves, enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air...and watched a bird eat a dead fish. When we got home - FYI, I COULD NOT BE MORE OUT OF SHAPE! - Michael made us a wonderful stir fry for din din, with all the veg we got today. This really was the day we had dreamed of for 2 years. This is the way we have wanted to live for a long time. Finally it is happening.
