Beautiful Sunset

February 26 - Friday Low - 51 degrees - High - 62 degrees Sunny all day

We awoke to sunshine and felt really cold in the RV, Lou quickly got up and turned on the generator and we lay in bed until it warmed up. Even Estee was shivering, so Lou pulled her blanket out from under her and covered her up.

After breakfast, Lou decided to needed to take the RV to the gas station on base and fill up with gasoline. We had almost used up the tank of gas that we purchased on the 13th of February, by using the generator. We laughed that this time we wouldn't check the mileage. We had driven five mile and thought our ratio wouldn't be all that great!!

As long as we had the RV out, we dumped and filled up with fresh water, so we should be good for a bit. Estee and Lou enjoyed playing Frisbee with our neighbor lady from Missouri. We still don't know what is going on with Estee, at times she doesn't act herself and others she seems fine. The sweet smell on her breath was a bit better today.

While we were out running errands, we stopped at Pampered Pets and got her a new ball, squeaky toy and a chew bone and she was happy with all of them. Kris,you will remember the little yellow balls with the squeaky sound, we found them and she sure remembered them. She was as proud as a peacock with them.

We went to Sigsbee and purchased tickets to tour The Little White House, which President Truman used along with other presidents thereafter, and we also got tickets for the Conch Train. Those are the two things we want to do this weekend.

We went out to dinner tonight, went to Duffy's Steak and Seafood Restaurant. We finally have taken a lesson from Pres and Susie. We ordered an appetizer which was Stone Rock Crab with hot butter and mustard dip and then we ordered a seafood medley which was lobster, shrimp and snapper with a baked potato, salad and shrimp bisque, hot bread and butter. We asked for two plates and it was all wonderful. The baked potato was the best I have had in years, very crispy on the outside. We passed on desert, because I had the homemade Key Lime Pie at home.

As we were walking to the restaurant we got to view the sunset that Key West is known for. All in all a memorable evening.

A note of praise, Scott called today and he had his first check up after his accident and he is healing well and the pain is decreasing. He has had time to reflect on his life and rest and stated he feels better than he has in some time. We look forward to seeing him again the middle of next month.

Preston, Susie, Ande and Sandra are all flying to Italy tomorrow and we pray for a safe memorable trip for them and especially a trip with good weather.
