brenny left early for another 12 hour shift, and i got up, packed up ,and decided to say goodbye to siesta.  i filled three sandwich bags with the white white sand.  a beach-walker said i shouldnt steal the sand because i could get arrested.  i think he was kidding. brenda had said there are shark’s teeth to be found at venice beach, so i just had to go see.  didnt see one tooth, bue i found the best seashells yet.  and sea urchins! it was so worth the detour!  heading north, (!!) i thought another trip through st petersburg might hold a chance to meet paulie, but he was busy at work, and those damnable fates!!! next time. next time. 

it was a LONG day on the road as i passed into georgia and on to columbus to see my sister, dani and her family. there is no easy way to get from north florida to columbus so i traveled along some back roads and was delighted to see lots of cotton fields and pecan groves (!!) i LOVE pecans, and used to have pecan trees in my yard in mississippi when i was little.  they are so majestic!

i arrived really late…10:30ish, and was held at bay in the back yard by a really scary pitt bull.  after waiting 10 minutes in the vibe with the temperature outside now in the 40’s (!! – i was just at the beach, jeesh – !!) i took my chances and left the safe confines of the vibe and dashed to the back door.  dani was at work managing the piggly wiggly until 11, so i watched tv with her little kaylee until she got home.  when she got home we visited for a while then i was so tired from the drive and the cold, i had to go to sleep.  dani is off tomorrow, so i have the whole day to spend together with her and the kids.
