FOR OUR WORLD. Thank you to the hosts for providing this opportunity to share what's happening in every corner of this planet.
Wishing you a Happy New Year. May your skies be blue and all of your takeoffs and landings be graceful. May your year be filled with bright colors and may it be just a little zany sometimes.
And if you get to enjoy a baked grouper sandwich once in a while, while looking out at the water, then that's even better.

All pictures from the village of Matlacha -- taken when we visited early last week.
Here is a link to a post about Matlacha from the first year we stayed here in Florida. It even tells how to pronounce it.
Just wanted to stop by and wish you a very happy and joyous New Year. We are having spring here in the midwest instead of winter. Enjoying it while I can as I know it will snow and blow soon. Stella
