Went to two of our favorite places today...

...the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center and Fisherman's Village AKA Fishville!

This first picture was chosen because this little guy/gal egret was so used to people that he let Hubby get that close for the picture without flying away! Thus is the life of many water fowl along the canals, harbor and river due to us impinging on their territory. Fear is useful ordinarily, but fortunately we would not harm him/her, just were there to observe, as he/she appeared to be too! He/she was at the marina in Fishville.
                                         

      At the Home and Garden Show at the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center!

       Time Realty Services apparently has existed locally in Punta Gorda for over twenty                                             years we were told. Their real estate people were very friendly and not pushy or                                               annoyed that we had never heard of them, we have been in Charlotte                                                     County going on twenty-three years, odd: www.time-realty.com

 Peace River sail and power squadron is a local: www.usps.org Hubby and I spoke with this group of oldies, (like us) for quite some time discussing boating stories, nice group of people.
 Neat soft tubs that are portable hot tubs, been around for years, but now seem to come in many sizes. www.softub.com great concept for small spaces or weather changes.
 Hymns musician with his CDs in the lobby. Here is playing his clarinet with a mike attached.
  Sculptress displaying her works also in the lobby. Very ancient feel to the ones displayed here.

The Home and Garden Show continues tomorrow, Sunday, from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.

FEMA is also there to help from anything to acquiring flood insurance to claims from Irma.

There is that adorable little one again, just couldn't resist its charms!

We ate lunch today at Smugglers at Fishville, Hubby had a Reuben, and I had their steamed mussels and clams over linguine, Hubby took half his sandwich and fries home and I took two thirds of mine home too! I had a bit for dinner, but it looks as if I have a few more meals left! Too much food!
But for great prices.

Although, we again did stop at the ice cream shop there after walking/riding around the docks and I had one scoop of rocky road and Hubby had two scoops of black cherry vanilla... so good!

A pleasant day all around. (that is if a day is four hours long, ha!)

Oh I almost forgot we met a woman, Lisa, who works at the Fishville docks just living here for the last two years from Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, also a retired cop, anyway she said that the ADA accessible one/deboarding platform, floating dock should be quite secure, but it is locked down by five P.M., although during the day someone is there to help if we want to try to use it some day. 
We might very well try.

On that note happy good night to all and to all share those blessings and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya here!
