It has been a lovely couple of weeks.  The weather has finally gotten nice.  Warm the way it is suppose to be down here this time of the year.  It did rain tonight but it was such a relief after the hot humid day we had.
Our friends Dave and Linda are here from Michigan and we happen to run into them the other day.  They have their car here, always a treat, and they took us to Key West today.  It was Dick's birthday and what fun we had.  Spent the day just walking around and looking at the sights.  Dave and Linda have been down there many times and knew some places to go.  We had lunch at Sloppy Joe's, known for being a Hemingway hang out.  The ocean was a beautiful aqua marine and the sun was sparkling on the water.  A most perfect day.  Then we came back to Marathon and had dinner at the Sunset Grill again.  It is fast becoming a favorite restaurant in Marathon.  A bunch of looper were there of course.  I think we will be sleeping in tomorrow.
Last weekend we went up to Islamorado key to the marine flea market.  Suppose to be one of the biggest in the keys.  It was a little disappointing because we expected to see more boat stuff and not so much t shirts and costume jewlery.  It was still fun.
People are starting to move on.  Looper are either headed up to the east coast or over to the Bahamas.  We will try to let the biggest part of the group get a head of us and bring up the rear in mid April, headed to New Bern, North Carolina.
We have been hearing about the big storms
