A panormaic of the Island

I had an awesome time this Memorial Weekend just gone. It was a beautiful island we went camping on just off the coast of Florida near Mims. There was heaps of fishing to be done and lots of drinking and fun times had by all. Kimmi’s father (Bobby) took me there and Bobby’s brother Pat came too they go every year Memorial weekend. Sunday, Pat’s Son-In-Law Eric came out for the day along with Eric’s son Bradley. We drove to Mims and boated out to the island. We left very early Friday Morning and got back home Monday morning around 10-11am.

The first night there was a loo loo of a storm but we managed to stay dry mostly. The wind howled and pissed down rain nearly all the first day but we had fun all the same, heaps fun. Setting up a tarp in the wind was an effort but it kept us dry while we drank and laughed. The storm cam from all four directions of the compass in a very short period of time.

Bobby did the cooking with my help and supervision of cause, we both love to cook a real lot.

Some hard boiled eggs Kimmi and I made for breakfast Easter Sunday.

The fruits of our labor of the last few days.

Verry Pretty Clouds

Went for a walk to the store today to buy some Easter Egg Grass and more Easter Egg chocolate and saw the most amazing clouds in the sky with pretty green, orange and red streaks though the sky. Looked great, the vapour trails are just from planes, we live close to Orlando Internation Airport.

Outside lights. Kimmi and I sorted it out.

Was born this week, we watched it grow from a little bitty
catterpillar. They lay their eggs on the milkweed in the backyard. The
plant it is on is Lantana, a native plant here but an uncontrollable
weed covering over 4 million hectares in Australia.
