Sublime Key Lime!

One word...YUM!

Getting into the Spirit!

I know that it's not even October yet, but I love Halloween so much that I thought I'd get a jump on decorating the house. Plus, it gave me something to fill my days while Jim is away on travel.

It's been awhile since I've updated the blog, so I'll try to do a bit of a brain dump.

Jim and I have started our training for the Run for the Redfish 1/2 marathon on December 4th. So far, so good. I love getting out there and running everyday. This will be the furthest distance either of us has done. 2 weeks down...10 to go!

Two weekends ago, we added another 10' section to our dock out back. Since then, Jim has been fishing (what seems like) non-stop! He's now able to cast further out and catch more than catfish!

We also boated up the intercostal for the first time since moving in. We saw some neat stuff and had a great time.

This past weekend, Jim's parents came for a visit. We had a wonderful time showing them our favorites haunts in PCB and just spending some quality time with them! We took them out for a boat ride (of course) on Saturday morning. We rescued a crow on our way to Crooked Creek and found a cold spring to swim in. We sure enjoyed having them and wish that they would have been able to stay a bit longer!

What a Weekend!

Labor Day weekend was a busy one for us. We went to Gainesville/Cedar Key to visit friends

and pick up our canoe.

We had a GREAT time! We went out to a few of our favorite restaurants and saw some great people. I went to the Gator game on Saturday,

while Jim spent time with his little brother Britian. We then headed west to Cedar Key with Nick and Max. The wild flowers in the front yard were gorgeous

and the weather was amazing! We packed up our stuff and headed back to the panhandle on Sunday. On Monday morning, we loaded the boat and were off to go scalloping in Port St. Joe. It was the last weekend of the scalloping season and we thought we would have a tough time finding any...but boy were we wrong! We were picking them up 7-8 at a time and they were MONSTERS!

We cleaned them when we got home that evening and used the refuse to bait our crab trap. When I awoke this morning, this guy was in our trap.

Our first crab!!!Besides getting a little sun burnt...we couldn't have asked for a better weekend!
