Every year or so there is a public arts project where shapes are decorated and displayed around town. I am not sure when the current one began but there are 30 fiberglass seahorses and 22 fiberglass mermaids that we have been seeing and photographing. These one-of-a-kind sculptures have been painted and adorned by talented artists in the region. It gives us a mission and they are all so unique and colourful.

Nearly two weeks ago we returned to Venice after 692 days of absence. Our flights were great although a 3 am start was grueling. After de-icing in both Halifax and Toronto we were an hour late arriving but once here we were happy! We have spent the week replenishing our fridge, freezer and pantry as well as cleaning and purging. There is still some work to be done but our old bodies are not what they used to be so we are taking our time. Next week we will tackle the yard and patio areas. The weather during week one was actually quite cool reminding us that it is winter here too!
One of the best surprises after so long was that our car (Dad’s last car he bought in 2002), just needed a new battery to get it up and running again. It is a gem of a car and we hope it keeps serving us well.
We have eaten out two Fridays – once to Abby’s on Miami and once to Burgundy Cafe. The latter serves a to-die-for lobster roll.
We did make a special trip to the beach at Sharky’s to check out the pier and the beach front.
I am comfortable here now and we will continue to wear our masks when we are in stores etc. but it is really nice to have more freedom. Sitting on our front patio is awesome – no masks and no worries there. By the looks of this pic I need to get some sun on that face!
