Craft Fair Chuckles



Hi All,

As the holidays approached, every weekend was another Arts & Craft Fair. Sandy & Carl have great enthusiasm for craft fairs but virtually all of that enthusiasm resides in Sandy. Carl typically entertains himself looking for funny signs and T shirts to photograph and this season did not disappoint.

If you don't understand this one, ask an old person.



Dog Lovers Fight Back!

Yup, no Gila Monsters even in a stroller!

Love,

Sandy & Carl

Dolphin Cruise



Hi All,

Our nephew Nathaniel is visiting from Massachusetts so we all went on a dolphin cruise from Dunedin Marina.

It really lived up to its name.

Great News X2



Hi All,

Carl's procedure went very well. Dr was confident the tiny radioactive spheres (1/3 the width of a human hair) will kill the tumor. Follow-up in a month. Carl feeling a little fatigued but otherwise fine. Both happy and relieved to have this behind us. 

While Carl's procedure was underway , Sandy got the call that our HOA application (and Sanibelle)was approved . We have a new home!

There is a causeway from Dunedin to an offshore barrier island called Honeymoon Island. With the exception of a small patch at the beginning, it is all a beautiful State Park where we plan to volunteer. That small patch is where our new condo is located (see below).

It is on the 3rd floor facing the parking lot (that's why we could afford it) but there is a great water view from the kitchen.

Here's another aerial view 
The condo is 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1,181 square feet. "Let the furniture shopping begin!"

Sanibelle does not like the though of moving🙀.
Love,

Sandy & Carl

Update on Carl

Hi All,

Carl's liver cancer procedure is scheduled for next Tuesday. Tiny Radioactive beads will be inserted into the tumor to kill it. Most literature describes it as being as successful as surgery and waaaay less invasive.

It's an out-patient procedure with fatigue and flu like symptoms being the most common side effects. 

The radioactive Yttrium-90 decays to Zirconium so Carl will have fake diamonds in his liver, a claim few can make. 

We are optimistic though impatient to have this behind us.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
