see ya later, alligator....

Tampa...

Evening swim!

 We did not make pizza in that oven. 

Today is a sad day.  Sad because we have to say goodbye to grandma and head north.  The "head north" part is fine, I miss not melting into a sweaty puddle every time we open the car door.  Walking across the parking lot is smothering, even if the pot of gold at the end IS Publix.  

I do like this pool, except that it's too warm.  The temperature gauge in the shade said 99.   There was a breeze though, and when I sat in the sun for twenty minutes, ahh, not too shabby.  

Saying goodbye to grandma:  she doesn't quite get it.  She sometimes forgets where she is, and really wants to go home when she does realize.  She says, "Well, you can't just leave me here all by myself!"  Well, it does not good to remind her that she insisted on living in Florida all by herself.  We can't stay down here with her, of course.  We could possibly arrange to move her to New York, but she's a Florida resident for one, and for two, she loves Florida, and not so sure she'd be happy to be moved.  So it's sad.  She needs family around to help her sort through it all each day.  

So....off we go to say goodbye, then to head to the airport...
