June 9 to 10, 2026
We had picked up a large watermelon from a street vendor near home after a breakfast at “Waffle House” on Monday, which turned out to be really quite tasty after chilling it in the refrigerator. “Seedless” turned out to be a huge exaggeration as the watermelon had countless seeds. It was good though, so we overlooked the vendor’s false claim.
Tuesday was another quiet day spent at home. “Albert” the alligator had disappointed us by not reappearing. I enjoyed Kris’s help on Tuesday with grocery shopping at Walmart, especially with the replenishment of our drinking water supply. The bottled water is heavy and hauling it home is a chore.
Kris left on Wednesday morning from Fort Meyers International Airport. Unfortunately, all good things do come to an end. Kris had to return home. The drive to the airport was easy. The goodbyes were hard.
After leaving her, we headed to the Fort Meyers Subaru dealer for an oil change. The service was needed after our 3,400 mile trip across the United States. It turned out to be a quick, easy, and enjoyable experience with complimentary coffee and another customer to chat with as we all waited for our vehicles. Maybe I’m delusional, but I continue to be amazed by the abundance of just plain happy people here. From the staff to the mutual customer, time passed quickly in pleasant conversation.
We’re all caught up now on the lives of two elders and their cat “living the dream” in Southwest Florida. Cheers, and back to you soon!
Yup! that's really Snoopy (enhanced with Ai) "living the life" in Florida!
