Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Warm and sultry today.  Perfect day to head to the beach.  But at noon we came in to have some lunch and the men’s hockey game was on between US and Canada and we got watching that so that nixed the beach.  And the US lost (sigh).  Canadians play for the gold on Saturday.  Went to Mangrove Mama’s for a light dinner.  Mid-80s again today. 

Doors of Key West.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  More humid today and it felt great.  We left around 11:30 to go for a bike ride and check out the new bike paths.  Biked out of the park, down Johnson Road and over the Bow Channel bridge, but when we got to the spot where the path crosses Hwy 1 and continues on the other side of the road, it was closed off.  So, we rode around a couple of really nice residential areas and explored around a little.  We had planned on having lunch at a little deli on the path, but that was out, so we biked back home.  Relaxed and cooled off for a while and then made some lunch.  Turned on the TV and the women’s gold medal hockey game was on between Canada and the US.  The US was ahead 2-0 through the second period.  But then the Canadians came back and scored 2 goals to tie it up.  The Canadians won in overtime.  Mike is not in a very good mood now. Mid-80s again today and beautiful.

We were disappointed to see the new part of the bike path shut down for some reason (sigh).

Exploring around we found this rather large property at the end of one of the roads we biked down--right on the Atlantic.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Another perfect day today.  I walked around the lake and ran into Wes walking Mutley.  He told me about a lobster he saw in the lake.  Took me over to where he saw it, but it was gone.  There are now two sharks in there. I have yet to see them. Ran into a gal walking her three dogs and they and Mutley got into a little rumble.  More bark than bite. Continued around the lake and then down Johnson Road and back picking up trash.  Ran into Char and Jerry who are both sick with colds.  A bunch of people have colds in here. Got back and made myself comfortable in my chaise lounge and started a new book.  Spent the afternoon reading and watching the palms sway gracefully in the tropical breezes.  In the evening we went to Key West and had dinner at Pepe’s.  Mike had raw oysters (ugh) and pork chops and I had parmesan encrusted snapper over pasta in a marinara sauce.  Really good.  Mid-80s today.

NAS was busy today with training flights.  This guy was coming in low and slow.  Always fun to watch.

Cute little cottage on Eaton.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A nice day today.  We headed to Key West to do the laundry and grocery shopping.  After the laundry was in the dryer, we headed around the corner to the Publix market.  Unfortunately, I forgot the list, but we managed to get everything on it.  What a memory!  Then back to the laundry and folded everything.  Had a nice relaxing lunch at The Stoned Crab.  I had a great salad with crab claws and shrimp and Mike had peel and eat shrimp and crab/shrimp bisque soup. Back home and put everything away.  Sat around and relaxed the rest of the day.  Went for a walk earlier and ran into Jan walking his two cute dogs.  Mid-80s today.  The waters around the Keys are especially pretty today.  Love driving around here—it’s so pretty.

Jolly Rover out for a sail.

Another beautiful Key West sunset.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Our usual Monday.  I did the cleaning. Mike went for donuts in the morning and then shoes in the afternoon.  A beautiful day, but too chilly for me—in shorts anyway.  And the birds have been so loud—between the red-winged blackbirds and the doves, it’s been a cacophony of noises here today.  Over for happy hour tonight.  I’m ready for a drink.  Mid-70s today.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  An absolutely beautiful day today.  A deep blue sky totally devoid of clouds.  Still a little chilly—for me anyway.  We watched our Netflix movie, “Boys From Brazil” which we hadn’t seen in several years.  After that we donned our biking gear and took the bikes out.  Biked down the road past the KOA and then down the unpaved road to the burnt out bridge.  Well, only a little way since there were several large ruts filled with water from our recent rain storm.  Started back and stopped at the KOA for a cocktail.  Back home and read for a while.  Steaks, sautéed potatoes with onion and red pepper, and southwest corn for dinner.  Really good!  Upper 70s today I guess.  I wore a jacket while biking and was glad I did.  

On the road to the burnt out bridge.

Turned around here because of the large puddles.

There is a beautiful home at the end of the paved road and just before the unpaved road to the burnt out bridge.  Supposedly, a well known female tennis star used to own it.  Not sure who does now.  A beautiful home right on the Atlantic.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A nice day today, but I felt chilly all day because of the low humidity and the wind.  Took my walk and then we ran a couple of errands and had lunch at the Wharf.  Came back and I tried sitting outside but it was too chilly for me. Our dinner and play last night was great.  It was warm enough that we could sit outside on the deck at the Roof Top.  The play was great, but it definitely wasn’t a comedy.  Got home late.  We were even out later than Carmen.  Mid-70s today.

Key West chicken out with her brood of 7.

As I approached, they gathered around her...

Then she spread her wings, hunkered down and they were all underneath her.

Our table at the Roof Top Cafe.

As usual, a very creative set design depicting a Palm Springs home.  The sky visible through the windows turned pinkish as the sun went down and then at night the stars were twinkling.

This uber fast, uber expensive, all electric Tesla roadster was charging up at the Westin garage where we parked last night.  What would prevent someone from coming along and unplugging it, I wonder?
