Friday November 5th ~

 Be happy.  Be yourself.  If others don’t like 
it, then let them be.  Happiness is a choice.  
Life isn’t about pleasing everybody... 

As mentioned before, Arvid came home on 
Wednesday. He was not supposed to, but with 
Arvid everything is possible.  He then left 
again yesterday morning for Sarasota.


Yesterday Gabs and I went on the dolphin 
tour from Fort Myers Beach.  It’s a hit or miss 
if you will see a filling, but so far, the two 
times I have done it I have seen dolphins.


On yesterday’s tour we saw manatees as 
well and of course many species of birds.  
The captain told us that about two weeks ago
 they saw a crocodile.  This is not normal,
 but seems to be happening more and more. 
The below pictures taken by yours truly🐬


The dolphins are really fast so it’s really 
difficult to get a picture of them.  They did
 put on a good show by flipping several times 
for us.  Was amazing to see. No pictures 
because I was busy watching them.


Gabs loved every minute of it. On the tour 
I spoke to several people of course. A couple
 came from St Louis, Missouri, another family
 was from Chicago. A lady came with her girlfriend 
from Idaho and there was another young couple
 from California.  Quite interesting.  Gabs
 of course came from way of Virginia.


Not sure what it is about Gabsy, but the
 older ladies like him. Maybe it’s the way he talks
 to them.  Very respectful of just those gorgeous
 brown eyes, but whatever it is they like him.


After the tour Gabs and I had lunch at
 Parrot Key. Lunch was delicious and 
we had a good time. So relaxing.  


Afterwards we went to Publix, picked up a 
few snacks for the evening and some other stuff. 
 Sniff as usual is very cautious when someone else
 is around. Sniff does not like us having company, 
but at least so far, he has not hissed at Gabsy.


It was a very beautiful day. I am loving the time 
we have with Gabsy.  I even went to feed Legacy 
so this made for an even better day.  Afyer that we 
watched movies and chatted. A good day to all.


When you’re up, your friends know 
who you are.  When you’re down, 
you know who your friends are...
