Some how I pictured being down at the beach yesterday after I finished work. After all it is Labor Day weekend.  Alas, the skies looked black late yesterday. My husband and I were afraid that if we went to the beach a storm would come and the trams would be shut down because of lightening.  What did we do with our time off?  Started cleaning out the kitchen cabinets in our Avalon rental unit.  We recently had the cabinet fronts redone, put in a new Silestone counter top, a new sink, new garbage disposal and a new faucet. 

We thought it would be a good idea to give the insides of the cabinets a thorough cleaning before we started putting back all the "stuff" we took out of the cabinets.  What a fun evening.

Pelican Bay, like all of us, is aging.  Our Avalon unit was built in 1993 and definitely needs some updating. What a difference the new cabinet fronts and counter make!  Here's a shot of the old cabinets:

Here's how the new cabinet fronts look.

Once we get the new tile back splash installed, I'll have to update these photos.

I recently purchase a Flip video and have been experimenting with it. Here is my first sunset video for you to enjoy.

The beach was the big draw for my husband and I.  Every night after work in the summertime, we try to get down to the beach for a quick swim.  Last night the Gulf water temperature was 89 degrees!  Sometimes we bring a change of clothes with us so we can shower and change to enjoy dinner at the Sandpiper Restaurant on the beach in Pelican Bay. 

The sunsets the last few nights have been absolutely breath taking.  My nephew, Anthony, came down from the Gainsville area and managed to take this photo of the sunset on June 11th.  We were having dinner at the Sandpiper Restaurant when he took this shot.  At first we did not think there would be ANY sunset because of the clouds but we were pleasantly surprised.

The photo on the right I snapped with my cell phone camera a few nights earlier.  Every night brings a different type of sunset.  If you are very lucky, you might even see the green flash.  Does the green flash exist?  Yes, it does!  There are very rare yet I have managed to see at least five of them in the 13 years we have lived in Pelican Bay.
