A big bolt of lightening hit right across the street from my MIL ~ enough to knock over a flag pole and open up a big hole in the ground that held the water pipe, throwing dirt everywhere.  Big mess ~ and no water for her for a couple of days!

We toured the Edison & Ford Estates today in Ft. Myers.   Very interesting tour, and the trees, especially, were really beautiful.

Took this pic on Bonita Beach this morning.   One of these days ~ I’ll get up the nerve to parasail.

I don’t normally see a helicopter in this parking lot.  Apparently, this one made an emergency landing last night on Bonita Beach Road near Tamiami Trail and they pushed it into the parking lot.  I was surprised to see it was still here this afternoon.

Supposedly there was a tropical storm (Bonnie) coming in today, so we took a ride to the beach to see how the waves were.  Pretty quiet, actually ~ the birds were hanging out as usual, most of them facing in the same direction (except for that goofy guy on the right!).

p.s. Happy Birthday, Dad!  Miss you!
