Hi folks! Just want to let you know that it’s a long weekend in my part of the world and I am ultra busy. Yesterday’s paddle boarding was so much fun! I will definitely do it again. I only fell into the water twice. Not too bad for a newbie. We visited a group of tiny islands, coves, and tiny inlets. After rushing home to shower, we enjoyed lobster dinners and vegetarian dinners on the terrace overlooking the golf course. It was a beautiful day and evening. We kept far from everyone. Today, our son and his girlfriend are coming for dinner. I prepared two of each hors d’oeuvre so we won’t have to mingle our foods. And, it’s another beautiful day and evening here. We will be very comfy outside on our deck. It feels so good to get out of the house and do things the safe way. For those interested, I wore a bikini in public for the first time in years. I didn’t look too bad compared to all the fatties that we’re out and about in theirs. See you soon!

Thanks so much! Where we went we were so far from people that we didn’t see a soul. Otherwise, I would not have done it.

I'm amazed what obese people dare to wear these days. I'm obese and take care not to over accentuate that fact but I see so many younger women wearing skin tight clothes that accentuate all the rolls they have.

Well, it's hard to look good when you're obese but at least, as in my case, one can wear clothes that are NOT skin tight @DianneN Usually I just wear capris and a tshirt type top neither of which is tight and in winter I wear long sleeved tshirts and jeans. I have to say that my calves don't look as obese as the rest of me

Thanks! I tried my best. The kids were here for dinner on our deck last night, and we laughed about who fell the most - my husband!. We are going kayaking this afternoon to enjoy what's left of our beautiful summer weekend.

Enjoy your dinner and have a good time. How about a photo of you in the bikini? My bathing suit wearing days are long over and when I do get to the beach I will just walk in what I usually wear which are long dresses almost to the ankles.

@DianneN until I trip up in it as a wave washes by and fall my fool self into the drink just my writer's imagination I am sure I will manage just fine the sand of Daytona Beach is packed solid so you walk on top of it but don't sink in.

@DianneN I now have four tattoos. The first I got was a unicorn sitting on grass on my thigh, the second is an angel with a moon. The two new ones are a tribal turtle on my arm, and a black cat with a moon on it's back on my chest.

It's a board almost like a surfboard, but used for standing or kneeling and using one oar to move around. Most people stand. I'm going kayaking later! lol

It looks like a surf board, but you stand on it and balance, and use one oar to move about on the water. It's fun, but not so easy.

It's not as easy as it looks, but you do need to know how to swim. Some of the water was very deep. Well, I didn't look bad compared to those fatties we saw!
