BeachWeb - February 2006
February, 2006 - well this month has been 'slow' to say the least, today's the 21st - not much to report...


New Breakfast menu item (recent invention at GPT - by Ms. May and Mr. Bill)
- made from "Pillsbury Grands Flakey Biskits and some fresh and some frozen-fruit"

AND - While we're on the subject of 'food' items - here's a couple of Ms. May's new 'inventions' - that we've found very tasty as afternoon snack and then veggie-medley for dinner?

  



some pictures of Ms. May's flowering-plants and things - VERY BEAUTIFUL



and - remember at least ONE cat picture per month!



here's a couple of pictures --- when we went kayaking on the morning of Sunday, 19 Feb.   Found the tide VERY VERY LOW - definately the lowest we'd ever seen it and got to the end of our 'cut' - and decided that to try and do our typical 'loop' would require a lot of pushing and pulling while sinking up to our ankles - so we gave-up and came back the south-way... Upon which we found a very VERY LARGE boat going VERY SLOWLY, who's wake put an inch of VERY COLD water in Mr. Bill's kayak, and a bit less in Ms. May's - which left us with very chilly buns...

anyway - a couple of pictures - click on either for 4x sized picture if you want?



Ms. May looking beautiful in the 'cut'.


Mr. Bill's view of the "Island" near the cut...

by the way - just FYI for those who care - the new Toyota Van works great with the kayaks on top, but we need to re-engineer our add-on-cross-rails because there's not enough room to put them upside down - we'll have a picture of that once it's complete - maybe a good Sunday afternoon project, huh?

Here's the lunch-time picture - and JUST in case you can't read the sticker off the tomatoe, it says "Ugly Ripe" !!!

Here's a couple of cat-pictures - got to have our monthly cat-pictures you know



Ms. Tigger holds-onto the best tomatoe of the month... (please note you can read about these "Ugly Ripe" tomatoes in the February issue of "Gourment" magazine - article starts on page 68 in this issue. An item written by an obviously northern-er-ly oriented individual upset by the fact that the Florida Tomatoe Commission (FTC) doesn't allow shipment of Ugly Ripes to the northern climes during the 'winter' (October through May or something like that) - so we, here in Florida, get the benefit of the "Ugly Ripe" version(s) during the winter - one of the better things about living in Florida...


Mr. Bill and Ms. Tigger in Mr. Bill's recently found chair (January 2006 - found in Manatee Pocket) matches the OTHER CHAIR he found while kayaking after hurricane Wilma, last fall, - about 4-5 months ago - so now we have two matching lawn-chairs - and all we had to do was wash them off... - pretty good!

Oh - by the way - in terms of finding things while out on the water - found, today (19 Feb) another baseball cap - says "Florida Sportsman" on the back, but it's a pretty good hat!

that's it for February  - but Today is Sunday, the 19th - maybe more, later in the month...

PS: we watered all our brown weeds yesterday - so maybe something will grow, now?!
