Two Nights left at Oscar Scherer S.P.

Our time at Osprey Florida is winding down. We spent days with my brother and Sis in Law, Donna, Becky, Dave and the kids and with Bev and Gary who left this morning for St Joseph Peninsula in the Florida panhandle. This evening Dave and Becky were leaving for their long drive back to Michigan. Brother Bob, too, is leaving for Michigan in the morning. Safe travels to all. (As for us, we're staying put!)
We all went for a boat ride out of the port at Sarasota on Thursday. It was a dolphin/Manatee outing that took us out of the bay and around a couple of islands. We were successful in seeing both species up close and personal. We also saw some of the most impressive waterfront real estate we could have imagined!
The weather was getting so hot the middle of last week with the highs around 90 and the lows at night in the mid seventies. On Thursday morning we had a big thunderstorm that went through pretty quick, but dropped a lot of rain and brought the temperatures down. Today we were around 72 for a high and tonight we are going down to the mid fifties. Be careful what you ask for. Its the first time I've worn jeans in months!

Imagine living like this in Sunny Florida! Boat ride anyone?
