Wed. Reminisce: Wishing in Pictures

A few years ago, I lived here.
Yep, right in that apartment building. I liked it for the most part, because across the street from the buildings was this:
I think I wouldn't mind moving back somedays. Especially cold days like today. When it's snowing and gray and the sun hasn't shone for eight days straight. I used to walk down the lake front on this sidewalk to go check my email at the local library almost every day.Past the people fishing on the banks. (There was always people fishing!!!)Past the hurricane ravaged piers.Sometimes, I would watch the sailboats on the water and sometimes I would walk close to the water and look for turtles, or pelicans, or manatees.Quite often I saw these. One morning, I counted ten. From a safe distance. Past the docks, and well, a construction crew that was building another apartment complex. I never failed to get a whistle. Hee. Hee. I didn't have kids then. Crazy. Past the stinking huge yachts.And then I hung a right at the flagpole and made my way a couple blocks more through the beautifully restored historic downtown main street to the library. All in January with a pleasant breeze blowing and my sandals, skirt and t-shirt on.
