Naples One Month

Hard to believe that we have been in Naples for a month and will be leaving next week. Went through a 10 day stretch of good weather with sunny skies and highs in the mid 90's. Then tropical storm Debby came in and we had 5 days of rain and wind. Now we are back to sunshine and warm weather for the remainder of our stay.
Had lots of company recently.
Tim and Diane Benson from Beacon came to vacation in Marco Island and we met them in Naples and went to lunch at Campiello's. Took them on a tour of Naples and went to the Naples Pier where it started to rain and we saw a small waterspout.
Cousins Steve and Sandy came down to visit friends at Marco Island and we all met at Jeff and Diane's boat and went to dinner at Cafe de Marco on the island.
Mike and Mary Lynch came down to their place at Heritage Bay and we got to play several rounds of golf during some dry time during Debby. Wind was pretty bad which is what I'm blaming my terrible scores on. Donna gets better every time she plays and really enjoys the game. We went out to dinner with the Lynch's several times and had them over here for dinner one night. Nice to have good friends so close to us.




Last but certainly not least, cousins Ann Marie and Don came by to see the house and our community. They were vacationing in Fort Myers Went to lunch at the clubhouse and enjoyed visiting with them.
Donna and I went to the beach while we were still feeling the effects of Debby. It was incredible to see how churned up the gulf can get!!!!




We also planted some flowers in front to add some color to the area.

Naples Week 2

Another busy week!!! Took a day trip to Sanibel Island, a hotspot for sea shell collectors. The beach stretches on for as far as the eye can see and the water is a beautiful blue-green. We came home with a pail full of shells to add to our growing collection.




The weather this week was much better with lots of sun and temps on the 90's.
The highlight of the week for Cliff was getting the corvette registered and putting the Florida plate on the back of the vette!!!!!




Cliff's retirement gift from Beacon, a wine cooler, was delivered this week as well. To borrow a phrase from Michelle and Flick we're "livin the dream" and feeling very fortunate!!!

Week 1 Naples

We got a lot done this week. The weather has been cloudy but warm. We have been been walking and biking most days and have been to the beach and pool a couple times and had dinner and wine on the beach one evening. The gulf is 85 degrees and delightful to swim and float around in. We also went golfing on the course at the Quarry for the first time and have made it to the driving range to perfect our game. Took the vette down 5th Ave. and she felt right at home!
We have some new lanai furniture and lighting fixtures as well that were delivered and installed this week. Quite a busy and productive week!
