Big Cat Rescue Sanctuary - Tampa, Florida

Today we went to Tampa to the Big Cat Rescue Sanctuary with our friends, Morrie & Dixie, and her daughter, Michelle, who is visiting from Michigan. We had lots of laughs and really enjoyed the Big Cats. After we toured the sanctuary, we went to Smokey Bones in Tampa for dinner. More laughs and great food! It was a fantastic day...thanks Mo & Dix for inviting us!

Brooksville, Florida Sunset

We arrived in Brooksville, FL on December 22nd. The weather was pretty good and on Christmas day it was beautiful. We had Christmas dinner at our friends', Morrie & Dixie's, and they had 2 other couples there as well. We had a lot of laughs and a delicious dinner. It was so nice to have someone to spend that holiday with! Unfortunately, since Christmas it's been COLD!!! Today was sunny and somewhat warm, so we decided to go to the Gulf and take some sunset pictures. We went to Bayport and then to Pine Island. Just as the sun was setting, the clouds started covering it, so it wasn't the best sunset to see, but it was pretty.
