Finally, a cloudy day in Naples. Went biking this a.m. without my sunglasses on. But I did get to wear my new eyeglasses. I broke down a few days ago - had my eyes checked and purchased two pairs of glasses. That set me back a bunch. But I do need to begin wearing some distance correction after all the years of not needing it. The young man who waited on me turned out to be a kindred spirit and we spent much of our time together speaking in low tones about our beliefs. It is always nice to run into "strangers" like that. His name was perfect too, David.
We had our dinner treat today at the community center. Our park caters a year-end dinner for the residents at this time of year. I have never stayed for it before. It was a very nice ham dinner with a most delicious chocolate cupcake with thick pink icing. Yum!
I gave Bashey a bath yesterday. Doused him with Mane and Tail conditioner for horses afterward. He is so soft and white. His hair was easy to comb out too. All the flea protection I put on him doesn't seem to be working this year here in FL. I think the fleas have developed an immunity to it. When i return to VA, I will see what we can do about changeing our flea and tick protection program with his vet.
My personal prayer list grows with new cancer patients. There is a deep need on this planet for serious prayer for those who suffer whether it be a physical dis-ease, emotional or a spiritual crisis. Imagine the power we possess, the power to change the course of events if we all prayed together at the same time - time zone after time zone - like a continuous bolt of lightning streaking around the world. I treasure that vision.
I have posted a picture of our bikers group on St. Patricks Day picnicing at Cocohatchee Park nearby. Many of the spouses and some volunteers prepared a fabulous lunch and decorated the picnic tables in green and shamrocks. Lot's of fun.
