Thu, Jan 9, 2020:  Warm today, but windy, windy, windy.  Put our awning up.  Yesterday afternoon while I was relaxing outside reading my book and minding my own business, a truck pulled in from Glades County.  She was the code enforcement officer and told us we needed a permit from the county for our shed.  We thought it was enough when the park signed off on it, but apparently not.  So, we now have to go to Moore Haven and present them with our drawings, etc.  Think it’s all about money, since we have to pay something for the permit.  On a more positive note, the book I’m reading is great—“The Aviator’s Wife.”  A historical novel about Anne Morrow Lindbergh. They met and married after his historic flight across the Atlantic.  Lindbergh got all the accolades of course, but at Charles’s insistence, she learned to fly, became an expert at celestial navigation, Morse code, and navigation.  She went with him on all his future flights and became his crew—taking over flying the plane when he was too tired and navigating their route.  He said she was a better pilot than Amelia Earhart.  Went to the tiki bar in Clewiston for lunch. 79 today but it didn’t feel it because of the wind.

Sign in the tiki bar.
