This weeks book was 'Hemingway's Key West' by Stuart B. McIver. Interesting.
 
Last week on Saturday, Jo and I got sunburned, then we had a cold front arrive last Sunday. Our monthly Social for the Southernmost Parrot Head Club was held Wednesday night at Capt. Run-a-Grounds. It is a floating restaurant in Garrison Bight. It was 53 degrees and we had a short meeting because of the cold. Now here it is Sunday again and it is in the 80's. Well at least the cold weather gave me a chance to finally do our taxes. We will get a few bucks back. 
 
Received this months Reader's Digest. It has an article about '10 Simple Keys to a happy life'. I know a few more than 10 Keys, but Key West is my favorite Key.
 
This week was 'Ole Island Days' and it ended with a street fair on Whitehead Street. Lots of crafts and art on display. I did see something different. There was a man creating art on pieces of board (8 1/2 * 11) using a magnifying glass and the sun's rays to burn the words and pictures on the wood. 
 
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was in town for a fund raiser.
 
'Sunday Morning' (the TV show) had a presentation about Key West Chickens.
