Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL: Cold again today. I’m beginning to sound like a broken record. Of course it’s all relative. Cold here is 63—compared to even north Florida which was in the 20s last night. We don’t have it so bad down here in the sub-tropics. Yeah, right. Just before 2:00 Marty came over and got Mike to play horseshoes. So he left and I took care of some computer stuff. About an hour later there was a knock on the door and it was Mark—the guy who makes fish out of coconuts. It’s been a couple of years since we’ve seen him. He’s down here for a couple of months and will be selling his coconut fish at Mallory Square. At around 4:30 we headed to the KOA for happy hour. After that it was over to Boondocks for wings. Well, Mike had wings—I don’t do wings. Life is good.

Key West Home & Garden Tour

December 29-30

This beautiful Mediterranean-style home was transformed from a small concrete box into 3000 sq. ft. of living space. It sits on a beautiful oasis next to a salt lake in New Town--complete with a "dark" pool (to match the salt lake) and a large dock. The lake has access to both the Atlantic and the Gulf. And it has an artist's cottage on the property. Note the sports car in the foreground.
