Ditto

Well thats what I could put on the blog for yesterday.  Or looks like for the whole week.  I'm really enjoying all these tournaments.  With the weather the way it is today thus far it doesn't look as though we will get out to walk.  The only people I see out is those that are going out to the mail box.
One thing for sure is that me watching the basketball games is we are not going anywhere to spend money.  I like that,but Nancy says our frig and cupboards are getting empty.
I hope you will enjoy your day as much as I enjoy this day.

Basketball

What can you write about on your blog when you spend the whole day watching basketball games?  Thats what I did yesterday and today will be the same.  Four games,this is "March Madness" time you know.  I'm watching the "Big East Tournament". 

I did take the time between games to take the garbage to the dumptster. Then Nancy and I walked around the park a short distance.  This is one bad bench the park has here. 

The lake as it is facing 8th street and also behind 9th street.

Well I have to go and get ready to watch four more games today. I'm sure busy these days. 

Good Walking Day

Yesterday I was looking in the folders and touist books I had. I saw a park that we had not been to that is close to us so we had to check it out.  This is a nice small park good for a picnic and it sits along the river. It is not good for walking though. Name of the park is Francis Avenue Park.  

So with the day being so nice we drove out to J B Starkey Wilderness Park.  This is the first time that we have been here to walk because the weather has been too cool and most of the time there is a breeze blowing over the open area.  The park has had a huge fire and has burned much of the park. But there is still a greater percentage is nice and green.  

The Armadillos were out in great numbers yesterday. That and the birds were the only wildlife that we saw. It was a perfect walking day.

Sunny Day

Yesterday was church day.  After church we stopped and had dinner at another restaurant that we hadn't been.  It was ok but not special.  We like to try different ones to see if they are good or not.

After dinner we came home changed clothes and went to Key Vista Park to walk since it was a nice sunny day.  This park is close to the gulf and has trails that lead out to the gulf waters.

Some of the trails looks as though they have had a fire and were closed off.

They had plenty of trails open that you can walk and enjoy.

Park Walk

In between basketball games yesterday we did get a little walking in.  Of course it was in the park here.  As we walked around we saw that the green parrots had once again flown in.

I managed to get a few photos before they took off.

Warmer Weather.

Only thing new is that Nancy had her hair cut yesterday.
The weather is the same.  It is suppose to warm up to 70° today and be in the 70's all week. That will be a very welcome change.

This is a well worn place in our house for too long of a time this season.   Reading and watching the television.  It really has not been a good winter for Florida.  I saw a photo in yesterdays paper where the tomato crops have frozen.  The tomatoes are always high priced anyway and with this happening I would say that you will really have to love tomatoes to buy them. A few days ago they were $2.98 a pound.  When the price on the tomatoes,lettuce and peppers go up I don't buy them.  The stores will keep the price up high and would rather let it spoil on the shelf than lower the price.

Well this is another Saturday and another full day of watching basketball games.  That old couch is getting a real workout. 

Virus

After complaints of a virus when clicking on the ads,I took off all the ads since I didn't know which one might have contained a virus.  After reading in the blogger help section it seems as though my blog was not the only one that had this problem.  Blogger help said to look  in the template to see if you could find anything that was not suppose to be there.  I did this and found a couple of things that I thought it might be so I deleted them and then looked at my blog.  It didn't change the looks of my blog so maybe I did find what was causing the problem.  If you do not have virus protection on your computer please get a good one so your computer will not be at risk.  A good one that is free is "AVG Free".   
Please do not let this problem keep you from clicking on ads when you visit  web pages on the internet,because this is the only way some of them have to make a small income for the time it takes to keep up a blog.

Cold

We're not doing anything,just getting out to the store a few times.  The weather has been just plain to cool for us and we have no need to be out.  We are just trying to wait for the weather to turn better so we can get out and walk in comfort.  I had to put something on the blog to let family know we are doing ok/

Sams

Yesteday we had rain in the early morning hours that cleared up by noon.  We had hard wind all day long so Nancy and I went down to the Sams Club to walk and see what they had to offer.  We only bought a few things because we were there a couple of days ago and stocked up.

Got to Walk

Yesterday it got warm enough to go walking,so we went down to our favorite place-John Chestnut Park.  Here Nancy and I are looking over the bridge railing into the water.

  

The park trail has so many different scenes through out.

The lake is quit full still.  With all the rain it has more water than usual.

A bunch of dead bleached out trees.

At the end of the trail you cross a bridge unto a small island.  There was an alligator at the edge of the water.

Cheap Burgers

Yesterday day went as we thought it would with Nancy a little down with some kind of bug.  She is feeling better today but not up to par.  With the weather looking like it might warm up a little we will try to get out and walk.  The

gopher Tortoise coming out of its hole is a sign that the weather is going to warm up.

Since Nancy didn't feel wery well yesterday and I wasn't really that hungry,I went down to the McDonald's and pick up some of their special priced (49¢) hamburger's.

After fixing them up with cheese,tomato,lettuce and a slice of onion,now turning them into a cheeseburger it tasted pretty good.  They have that special price on Sundays and Wednesdays.

So I was watching basketball games and eating the cheese burgers most of the day.
