We continue to battle internet connections, but I found a hotspot strong enough to load a few pictures and post an update on our trip around Florida. In the most recent post, I mentioned that we arrived in Keaton Beach, Florida, a perfect place for a Wordless Wednesday contribution because there is NOTHING to do there. There is no stoplight in this small village, which attracts mostly fishermen. Nevertheless, Keaton Beach has stunning sunsets, and we were fortunate to witness some spectacular ones every day of our visit. I have one posted above, and the remainder of the gallery is shown below.
Oh, I did try my luck at fishing and landed a rather large Redfish. The fish struck a frozen shrimp a sizeable distance from the pier, requiring several minutes to bring him in. Big fun!
Helen used some very windy days to finish her puzzle. Mortimer hung around to coach her through the challenge.
Our next stop is Kissimmee, Florida, and Walt Disney World to see our granddaughter compete in the National High School Cheerleading Championship. We’re havin’ fun, and we’re still Easin’ Along.
Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. Go hug somebody…you’ll feel better!
Joe, you could have sat in the doorway and caught that fish. Any closer and you would be driving a houseboat. Great sunset photos. Thanks for the review of Keaton Beach, it is now firmly off my list.
Hi, Suzanne,
You’re right about being close to the water. Our rear tires were just a few feet from the water, and we were pointed directly toward the setting sun. Nevertheless, if you don’t fish, you better enjoy reading or playing Solitaire. We were 17 miles from the nearest tavern. Been there–done that. Great to hear from you! Joe
You too are living the dream for sure! Mortimer makes a good lumbar pillow! Love you. Happy ❤️ Day!
Hey!
We figured we better keep moving and do as much as we can “while we still can.” My stepdad always said “don’t wait until you’re dragging one leg behind you!” This trip has been fun and we’re about to over-oyster. Mortimer also serves as a great foot-rest. Thanks for checking in! Joe
No stoplights but spectacular sunsets. Sounds like the perfect place to be.
Also sounds like you and Helen each found something fun to do!
Hello!
No stoplights and only one small convenience store, but we had a great show every night and I read a lot while Helen and Mortimer worked puzzles. Have a great weekend. Joe
Joe, Congrats on your Redfish catch! The sunsets are spectacular. I read your previous posts and loved the beaches in your photos. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Helen! Safe travels.
Good afternoon, Natalie,
We’ve had a fabulous time in Florida. The early part of the trip gave us some cold weather, but, ultimately, we were rewarded with clear skies and temps in the low 70’s. That Redfish put up quite a fight and was fun. I don’t get to fish much anymore, and this was a real treat. Always great to hear from you. Joe
Joe, those sunsets are gorgeous! I tried to pick a favorite, but after several minutes of contemplation, I still couldn’t. They’re all winners! The NATIONAL High School Cheerleading Championship?! That’s pretty exciting! And really sweet that you and Helen will be there to support your granddaughter. Go, Team Bruner!!!
Good morning, Mary,
We witnessed some stunning sunsets in Keaton Beach and had THE spot in the campground to see them. Great to hear from you, and please come back to read about the Cheer Team. I’ve never seen anything like it! Have a great weekend! Joe
Mortimer obviously helps with all kinds of things…even puzzles! Haha!! Nice redfish! We used to fish for those in the bay in back of our house. Did you cook it for dinner?
Good afternoon, Laurel,
That Redfish gave a good fight, but I managed to land him and filet him. Pretty tasty too! We’re leaving Panama City tomorrow (Friday) and moving to Gulfport. Looking forward to reading more about your Florida trip. Joe
