you’ll never guess what I saw parked in the parking lot just off Hwy 41 in Fort Myers --- the GhostBuster-mobile! I think it’s the real one because it was parked in a lot with a bunch of other vintage cars “for sale”, looks exactly like the one in the movie and has a New York license plate on it. Looks like one of the ghostbusters was hard up for some cash! Anyway, it was pretty cool to run into.
I went to the bird refuge on Sanibel Island one day and saw some amazing birds. The first flock I saw that day was a flock of Roseate Spoonbills. They are big birds --- close to 3 ft. tall and are the color of a Flamingo. The bill is really long and flattened out like a spoon on the end --- very peculiar. What a sight that was! I saw a bunch of others birds that day, but they were too far away to get a descent picture with my little camera, but it was a thrill to see them.
Jeff and I have become pretty good friends with our neighbor, Len, who lives across the road from us. He’s from Thunder Bay, Canada. He’s got a really good system down for himself --- he owns and runs a resort up in Thunder Bay in the summer and comes down to Florida in the winter. He plays on the park horseshoe league and has
gotten Jeff down to the pits throwing shoes a time or two. They have lots of fun down there. Len’s the type of guy that needs to be doing something all of the time and he manages to do just that. Here he is buffing his 5th wheel. Jeff likes to be busy doing something all of the time too -
-- but he’s not exactly into buffing the rig. Here he is reading at the beach. This is more of his “winter style”.
We went out to a beach just south of Fort Myers ( about 10 miles or so) by a little town called Bonita Springs. There’s a beach there called Barefoot Beach. It is so beautiful. Jeff took a shot of the walk-way going out to the beach.

He also caught a picture of one of the raccoons that was rummaging through one of the trash barrels by the washrooms. This guy was not afraid of Jeff what-so-ever!It was a quiet and lovely day at the beach. We did a bunch of reading, shell hunting, wave watching and just hanging out. It was a good day to dig your toes into the warm sand and wait for the sunset.
Later --- Wendy

So, I was typing in cyberspace one day and I read with interest your amazing blog. Sorry it has been so long. I was interested in the day you spent at Barefoot Beach and Bonita Springs. That is where I worked for a health spa called Shangri-La. I loved your snow angel...those angels are everywhere! You guys are so artistic. It was beautiful and I hope it was a serene experience. Thanks againg for the dvd of a day at the beach. It was very calming for us and it felt like we were there with you guys and the angels.
We had a touch of spring in the air today. The next full moon is on March 10th Tuesday. Let's synchronize...we will think of you when we see the full moon. And oh yeah..make sure and turn up the youtube dreamy Mavericks...Blue Moon. It is the version from Apollo 13 and it is the best song for star and moon gazing.
We miss you,
Diane and Mark "moonlight friends"
