Westminster again proved to us how good they are!
The pictures below are from The Residents Only
Christmas party
There were two on successive nights for those of
us living in houses, and held in the new Mcguire
center. There were 140 people at each night's party.
Reinforces the good fortune we had to pick this
for our retirement!

It's been a long time since I blogged. Seems like I'm busier all the time.
That.'s the life of a caregiver! It's slow, but inevitable. Marge is basically healthy,
which almost makes it worse.
Oh well, the picture is of Trixie, Deb's dog, a plaster door stop! , and Klondike,
the dog we had to get rid of when she started in to nipping Marge. If you look back in the blog, you'll see pics of Hobo, our wonderful dog.
I'll put some more stuff soon.

The fort.

The trolley, the best way to see the city

A 600 year old live oak. Of course you can't see it, but it's there

The famous fountain of youth that drew Ponce de Leon to florida and
led to the founding of St. Augustine.

SPELLING!!

A view of part of the anchorage in the intracoastal.

One of the bars on the trolley route. Saturday night had already started!

The Flagler memmorial church.

One of the buildings ercted by Henry Flagler. His influence is powerful
in St Agustine. It's here he strted his railway that eventually reeached
Key West. It was washed out in a hurricane in the 1930s, and never rebuilt.

This sign is in front of the oldest houuse in St. Augstine.

The fort at St. Augustine. Unfortunately, I found the steps too steep,
and the rail too low for me to climb to the top where I wanted to
take a few shots of the harbor. Oh well, in another life!

Marge and I in front of the fort.

The lighthouse at St. Auguustine.

Look carefully, and you'll see a flock of Ibis birds in the tree top.
They flock here because the alligaotrs scare off the bird's
enemies, so they stay here even though they aren't penned.

Feeding time for the large storks

A picture of the biggest stork specie. The sac hanging
down means she is in mating season, and says "DON'T
MESS WITH ME!

Another bird!

One of the bird specimans. They have seceral species.
