Sunday City Walk

On this beautiful Sunday morning at the season beginning of City Walk we had thirteen walkers. On our way home, we happened upon this gathering of Dachshunds.

Finally, Cooler Weather

This morning Jane and I had a good walk in Palm Beach on Lake Trail. With long-anticipated cooler weather, it was a perfect day to be outside. Pictures are below.
Last night we saw the very engaging mystery, Gone Girl. It's a well acted film but major plot flaws make it unbelievable. I found it unrealistic. Many will rate this film highly but I can't call it a "must-see." As usual,  this prude found the sexual situations offensive.

Getting back into the season.

Last night we viewed the new movie, Pride.  It's based on true events when U.K. gay activists worked to help miners during their lengthy strike of the National Union of Mineworkers in the summer of 1984. I suspect it will have a limited showing. It isn't a don't-miss but I liked it.
The night before we ushered for the Palm Beach Dramaworks production of Our Town, one of our favorites. It runs through November 9 and we highly recommend it.
We're looking forward to seeing tomorrow the Lake Worth Playhouse production of Mame. which runs through October 26.

Jane and I returned this week from a pleasant cruise in the southern Caribbean.
It was good in many ways. The ports of call were all hot -- no surprise. Our main complaint is the overly loud sound in all the entertainment. The shows were good but not quite up to our expectations. The accommodations and service were excellent.

Return From Duluth

We arrived home yesterday from our twelfth annual pilgrimage/odyssey to "Summer Camp for Seniors" in Duluth which this year included Jane's reunion in Ashtabula. Our driving mileage was 5,790. It was immediately clear that we came home too soon; The heat-shock was greater than usual since the temps in Minnesota were colder than any previous years. We met many nice Evergreen hosts along our way. Their pictures are below.

Final Week of "Summer Camp for Seniors"

Last night we watched the sailboats from Fitgers. This morning's hike was on the Two Harbors Lakewalk.

Nearing The End Of Our Summer Vacation

Yesterday, (7/26/2014) John and Chadda Shelly took Kathryn Schultz and Jane and me for a wonderful outing on a perfect day. We spent most of our time at Shovel Point in Tettegouche State Park.

Last evening we had our annual Vista Cruise on Lake Superior; and today on Bill Delboy's hike in Lester Park we had 39 on a perfect day.

Yesterday we had a group trip to Jay Cooke park. I took this picture from the suspension bridge.

                    The annual Dinner Dance was this evening.

We had 35 hikers along this morning's hike along the St. Louis River led by John and Chadda Shelly.

Sunday we went with John, & Chadda and Kathryn to Gooseberry for a wildflower hike and more.
