Winter Fun

We just returned from our annual ski trip to Beech Mountain, NC. This is Terry at the top of Beech preparing to take a run down the most difficult trail. The web site at www.skibeech.com has lots of information e.g. ticket prices, lessons, and most importantly under the mountain heading you can pull up various web cams to see the current conditions. Beech is approximately a nine hour drive from St. Augustine and is also reachable by plane into either Charlotte, NC or Tri City airport in Johnson City, Tenn.

New Years

The 5th annual Beach Blast Off held last evening at the St. Augustine Beach pier and pavilion was a hugh success. The free event featured 14 restaurants participating in a chili cook-off, ice sculpting demonstrations, Kid Zone, local food vendors and a magnificent fire works display. Net proceeds from all the Beach Blast Off events go back into the area in the form of shade pavilions and picnic benches for Splash Park. Last years net of $21,000 will be combined with this year's to fund a grant request for fitness trails and workout stations throughout St. Augustine Beach. If you missed this years event put next years on your "to do" list. Happy New Year!

Christmas Tree Decorating

Spent last evening with our soon to be 6 year old grandson, Luke, decorating his Christmas tree. Such fun to watch them as they decide just where to put each ornament and why some ornaments are more "special" than others. Lukes favorite ornaments either had his name in LARGE letters on them or were of his favorite super hero characters!!

The LYNX Arrives

LYNX is an interpretation of a Baltimore Clipper Schooner from the War of 1812. In keeping with her mission to bring life to the naval traditions of the early 19th century, LYNX has been fitted with historic artillery: four six-pounder carronades and four half-pounder swivel guns. Her crew wears uniforms of the 1812 period. These two-masted vessels with heavily raked spars were renowned for their swiftness and maneuverability, which made them ideal as privateers or naval dispatch schooners. For tour times, sailing times and costs please see http://www.privateerlynx.org/.

Look Who Came to Breakfast

Terry and I were having breakfast yesterday and suddenly there was this little fawn nibbling away outside the lanaii! What a treat. We are so lucky to live in this great town with tons of history, miles of sandy beaches and all kinds of land creatures from adorable fawns to black snakes to alligators and then we have our ocean creatures like the sperm whale that just recently beached itself on Vilano Beach and unfortunately was not able to be saved. We treasure every day.

Halloween was alot of fun for us this year. We had the two youngest grandchildren at our home for "Trick or Treat." Terry and I were very pleased to see that many families were passing out healthier snacks than in the past. Hope you all had as much fun as we did either passing out goodies or participating with your children or grandchildren.

Fall Color

And, no, this is not St. Augustine. Terry and I managed to snatch a couple of days to enjoy the fall color in North Carolina. We had anticipated that the weather would be much cooler than here in St. Augustine and were very surprised to discover that the daytime temperatures reached 80 degrees. Of course, the evening temperatures were in the high 40's which made for brisk mornings. We did a half day hike off the Blueridge Parkway on a trail known as Sims Pond. Just a couple of lovely days in the Carolinas.
