I kept looking for a Yucca in bloom while in AZ as I knew I wouldn't see one elsewhere. A week later we're in Kansas and there are lots of Yuccas in bloom. In Kansas? It's still weird to me. Also weird to see cannons "aimed" out to sea, but I'm looking forward to your exploration of the fort too! Love the early morning shots, the sea grass is lovely. So someone in CA can use your credit card but you can't get black spots off the pan in your kitchen......these are the things that cause gray hair, and ice cream abuse! David may doubt the wisdom of leaving you unsupervised in the future........Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-61500922025778549992014-11-23T09:39:02.686-05:002014-11-23T09:39:02.686-05:00I am with Judy on the pan.

The calls back and forth to Mastercard and Disney must've made your hair stand straight up. How in the world did your card get compromised so that someone in CA. could go shopping? Seems like these credit card problems are happening more and more frequently. Glad you had a good time walking the beach before the annoying repeat phone calls!

Had a wonderful hike yesterday something I likely would've never done on a Saturday had he been home. And I've just endured a snafu with our early January Florida reservation that has hopefully turned out for the better, but it was a headache while in the midst of it. Thankfully, did not involve credit card just working with the owner of a cottage we were reserving that screwed up. All is well now - different cottage, but better! Had any ice cream yet?

Sadness that David is so far away, happiness at your lovely beach photos, anger that there are such nasty people out there who will attempt to defraud us, joy that you did get your WDW reservation.

I saw this creation of Bill's today and it is truly impressive, a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. There are easily 200 pieces of PVC pipe & fittings in there, each carefully measured, cut and assembled in a design that allows Bill to use his kayak cart wheels for this cart when fishing and of course with the wheels off, it fits perfectly in the space allotted in the back of the Tahoe where it also secures the beach chairs so they do not move around during a drive. Every detail was thought through in the design. I has other unique design feature too numerous to mention here, but need I say more? I'm impressed. <br />That said, I love too the sand pattern shots, the sunset, the pelican's eye and the closing quotation - lots of goodness here.
