popcorn, favorite afternoon snack

coffee pot bayou

Another glorious day in St. Petersburg.

Yes, I did say - glorious - low 70's with a perfect cool breeze.
Windows are open and sun is smiling bright!

Sophia and I enjoyed the morning with a stroll along the bayou.
It was along this same path 3-weeks ago that we saw 5-dolphins having the time of their lives. They were swimming on their back with their tummies in the air and jumping. It was an absolute magical site.

Meet the McClenahans
They are walking a road that no one should have to walk.

Their sweet daughter lost her brave yet quick battle (of three weeks) to cancer on February 8, 2009; just shy of her first birthday. On March 5th, she would have turned one.

Although I have never met this amazing family, their story,

their pain, their faith, is inspiring.
