Whether it is my birthday or not my "Christmas" Cactus doesn't forget me and always blooms in February and March!



The weather has been so perfect I have started to go to The Point more often which is always a pleasant (if now slower) walk with an ever changing seascape. From canoes to million dollar yachts, kids in tires being towed all over Karen Bay until, at least, one falls into the water to catamarans which are docked all along the canal it is always a delight!



Oh, yes, after those l-o-o-o-o-n-n-n-n-g walks one does have to refuel! Not really as these meals are/were being eaten on Thursdays and Fridays when we go out food shopping, run errands and now, occasionally, a Friday movie.



We hadn't been to The Outback since the COVID virus started so we decided to go there. Allen had a Filet Mignon and I, was torn between 3 items and after asking the waiter I ordered the shrimp and chicken on a bed of fettuccine, which was good but steak should be ordered in a steakhouse! Oh well, next time and there will be a next time as we are very seldom disappointed when we go there.

On the left is a picture of the shrimp, beans and rice plate with a salsa topping I had at the Tequila Sunrise restaurant, a place I have been going to for over 30+ years and that was before I moved into Gateway where the mother of the owner lived! It's a tie between Jalisco and Tequila Sunrise which is the better neighborhood Mexican restaurant though to be honest there are many I haven't tried in Fort Lauderdale. There are a lot more now than there was when I first moved here.


All is good and tomorrow I will be going back to my former cardiologist and even though I know he won't/can't answer them all I have a list of questions for him because I have been in a fog since last November when I had an operation and then in December when I fell and got a 'infected blood' diagnosis and still don't know if that is what is changing my whole body with itching, very dry and rashes plus new meds in addition to the 12+ I am already taking!


Looking out at the sunset and just feeling good!
