We have had a busy month – getting into the regular groove – and enjoying the weather. Dave golfs four days a week, Tuesday is movie night, we play bingo on Wednesday evening and the gang goes out to supper on Friday night. There are some events at the clubhouse too. The annual Welcome Back dinner was held just after Liz and Earl arrived. Molly and George joined us for it.



The beach is always an interesting place. There were lots of cool days in January so we didn’t spend as much time there as we usually do. However, February has been above normal temps so we have made treks to the beach and we when we get there the birds, boats, planes and dogs always keep us happy.

There always lots of pelicans but on Valentines they were diving so close to the shoreline that it was scary. I was waiting for one to impale himself in the sand.



We go to the beach which is next to the dog beach – this dog was intrigued by the pelican which was so close to the shoreline.


Venice Municipal Airport is next to the beach. Some days the flight path is right over our heads.



This year it was time to paint the clubhouse again. Dave and Dennis were reliving their navy years when they spent February in Puerto Rico the ship! 

One of the things that I indulge in is online shopping. This big Amazon order was like a fun Christmas morning.

We spent time at the beach on Valentine’s Day. Dave didn’t disappoint – flowers and chocolates awaited me when I got up.

The gang went to N’tinos for pizza followed by a great game of dominoes – the girls won handily.
