We are in the thick of our hot, hot summer weather and we are still thinking our pool was the best decision ever. I try to a avoid the prime ultraviolet sun hours and have been enjoying the pool around five o’clock with a happy hour cocktail. I have a squishy, noodle type chair that I float around on and it is perfection. Also, the sunsets lately have been spectacular.
A tropical storm or weak hurricane is headed our way, but will most likely stay east and we will only get the outer rain bands. It’s always a stressful time here in Florida as we enter the prime hurricane season. I have found a weatherman that I trust and I only panic when he says to. We did invest in a generator, so we are good to ride out anything, but a direct hit, category 5. In fact, now that this is our 4th hurricane season, I am getting quite blasé about the whole thing. I guess I am becoming a true Floridian.
My husband recently purchased a new toy, perfect for Florida exploring. We have a scooter now and last week, went in the morning one day for beach walking and breakfast at one of my favorite spots in downtown Venice. Lots of fun times ahead with the scooter and don’t worry - we stick to the less traveled routes and wear our helmets.
Have a wonderful weekend!
