A warm January afternoon

After the freezing weather we've had the last couple of days, today was highly appreciated. Warm. Sunny. Beautiful. So we got out. Went into town for lunch and some geocaching.

We shared a fish sandwich at the Oasis

It was my first time to dine upstairs

After lunch we were off geocaching. Folks, it is harder than it looks. But oddles of fun. One of the caches we found was called Critter Box. It was out in the woods...maybe part of Anastasia State Park, I'm not sure. Either way, it was a sweet little trail that took us to a little bridge with a clearing. That is where we searched for the cache. It has several items inside, and I took the starfish rock. It is really awesome. I took some pictures of it on my desk at home.

I know this is almost like the above picture. But the focus is on the books. And I like it anyway. And I love the quote. So, here it is!

While snapping pictures of the starfish rock, I took one of the tile that Nikki gave me for Christmas. I freaked today because I had the books all standing up, and it was on the shelf beside them. Well, the books fell when I bumped the desk and they knocked over my tile. It fell to the desktop and a couple of little pieces chipped off the corner. But, I glued them back, and you can't even tell! Whew...

A morning/afternoon in the Auggie

It was COLD this weekend. Holy cow...I saw frost on the grass this morning. But, I bundled up, and went into town anyway. By the time we got there, the sun was out and it turned out to be a lovely, but breezy, day. Started at the farmers market, then ran a few errands, had lunch, and geocached. A fun day.

Even in January we have flowers!

I love the glittery...

Lunch was at one of our favorite places in St. Augustine. It is a local haunt and well worth a visit if you come to this wonderful little city.

And the final picture was taken while geocaching. One thing about seeking the caches...it takes you to new and wonderful places.
