How's your weekend going so far?

This is the so-called beginning of summer, and many take this first weekend of warmth to enjoy to the fullest!

Here in southwest Florida we are having sea pork or sea squirts floating ashore and they are being mistaken for oil or tar chunks, but they are not! The information below will let you know what they are:

The below information is derived from Wiikipedia and for a complete definition copy and paste and go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunicate

“While most tunicates live on the ocean floor and are commonly known as sea squirts and sea pork, others – such as salps, doliolids and pyrosomes – live above in the pelagic zone as adults.

Most tunicates feed by filtering sea water through pharyngeal slits, but some are sub-marine predators such as the Megalodicopia hians.”

Moving on… our day was our norm for us, but Hubby finally decided to join me in the pool, I suppose even after nearly twenty-four years of living here in Florida he is still thinking summer begins this weekend! It was so nice to share the warm tub-like waters with him and our Skipper!

He is again working on a project but this time a reconstruction, the board walk needed additional medium support since it is thirty-four inches wide and runs approximately sixty feet down to the dock. It had one of those spongy feels to it, and so Hubby supported it with four by fours that we fortunately still have left over from that free fence we received, and so although mucho labor is involved no additional expense is. Hubby is taking his time, but should be done soon it is only a matter of maybe a half a dozen four by fours for support and solid non bouncy walking boards.

I think I just discovered a severe problem with this program that my spell and grammar check has stopped working so forgive any mistakes that should have been picked up.

Actually, I just went to my email and corrected it from there. I suspect that is what I will have to do from now on.


Update: It has corrected itself when I closed my word program with fear of losing data!


Meanwhile back at the spill we just received word that the ‘Top Kill’ did not work and so now they will be moving on to trying something else!

Florida is only finding people with suntan ‘oil’ and seaweed darkening the waters here!

We are still just fine.

It was a lazy day for me I even napped this afternoon; we barbecued our dinner, which we will do all weekend. But isn't that what this weekend of the holiday is mostly about; to remember those who gave there lives to preserve our freedoms? And what better way to respect that than to display the American flag, barbecue and relax by the pool or beach, right? I think perhaps you will all agree!

On that note I will wish you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we well too!
