We made it back to the causeway this morning to walk.
After lunch, we took Toby in the golf cart downtown. We stopped in the Chamber of Commerce because Toby usually gets a treat from one of workers. We surveyed their paraphernalia at the gay pride table.
John found some funny orange sunglasses.
The worker was one of our causeway walking buddies. She signs her contract tomorrow to move into Mease Life from her downtown condominium. She’s excited and nervous. She is having two small units combined and fully renovated. She has no family and wants to be prepared for when she might need more assistance.

Toby got some ice cream at Bark Place, carrot cake flavor.
Loved it
Settled down to dig in
We took the golf cart, through the shell path, downtown.
It was 83, sunny, with a 10 mph breeze.
Workers are adding wiring for the new city hall sign.
The city was able to get a guaranteed price for the new building. Then the pandemic hit, supply issues happened, and building materials and labor prices skyrocketed. But because this is a signature building for the construction company, the contractor honored the contract even though it stands to lose money. The price was about $33 million. Clearwater is trying to build a new city hall now. The estimates are close to $100 million.
Toby, chillin in the front yard.
Nearby . . . Blackie said he was missing Rosemary!
Love that Blackie is Missing Rosemary. Finished another book. When Books went to war about providing books for soldiers to help eliminate their stress and homesickness during war. It was a huge success and librarians convinced publishers to make the books in paperback and

the beginning of widely distributed paperbacks.
Blackie scared me even over the internet. However he looks smaller than when I’m running from him.
ReplyDeleteWe had a delightful evening with the Reeds and Fredericks tonight at the Reed’s house. Dad comes alive when around those guys. We called Tom/Karol and Face Timed them.
I’m helping Jan on Saturday to pack personal things she will need in her new space. She is a cardiac patient and I don’t think her daughter realizes the difficulty she has in just doing simple things. She saw her cardiac doc today. He has made some dosage changes hoping this will help her.
Interesting blog tonight. Thanks for the photographs. Keep me posted on the lady moving into Meese. Love to all.
