A Walk In the Park and Then Good-Bye To The Kids

A Walk In the Park and Then Good-Bye To The Kids - Part 1

Lindsay, Brendan's Ex, who lived in Canada for a couple years and then moved an hour away from St. Pete in North Port, was, once again, infected or inflicted with wanderlust. She decided to move to Oregon for reasons I am still unclear. Apparently she doesn't like Florida. Well, who does, except it is warm when Illinois is getting 18 inches of snow.

But I digress. Anyway, she has decided to leave the support and warm embrace of family, oops, I digress again, and strike out on her own to find whatever it is she is looking for. OK, editorial comments over. She is leaving Michael here with family to finish out the school year, but taking Alhanna and Logan with her.

We met one last Sunday afternoon at the Park in downtown St. Pete and then out to eat. The next few days will chronicle that afternoon.

Sittin' by the dock of the Bay.

Chase me! Chase me!

And so, after a romp in the park, off we go to Applebee's for a final farewell.

It's Monday and the start of another work week. Except for me. I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers. These pics need no words. Why muddy the waters? They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley. The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter. If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one. But, please, no more.

Re-opening Was A Hoax

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless. Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001. It was one of those things that can generate crime: two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job. Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things. Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold. But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find. His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead. He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds. He will be paralyzed for life. None of this is pleasant. Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
