What a fantastic day at Clearwater Beach where I
woke up early and enjoyed my morning coffee with the sun coming up over the bay in the east creating the most beautiful colors in the west.
Then we spent the morning on the beach until our old neighbors here in Florida, Rich and Kathy, called us over for lunch as they had taken their boat down from Tarpon Springs and were now docked outside one of their (and mine) favorite restaurants
Frenchy's Salt Water Cafe.

Hitch always rides with Rich & Kathy in their boat.
What an absolutely gorgeous dog. He made me miss Lando so much.
We had the most delicious lunch!
Ahi tuna & Key Lime Pie.
In the afternoon we drove up to see our old home in Key Vista and to catch up with Rich and Kathy again, who still live in the neighborhood.
On the way there we stopped by my favorite fabric store, Jo Ann Fabric...
Bella & Emi entering JoAnn Fabrics
...and I bought the beautiful striped fabric by Waverly to match the fabric
above that I already have at home.

Other old neighbors also came out and greeted us. So much fun!
It was exactly ten years since we were here the last time...In another life for me.
