I just got back…
I just got back from a mini-tour of St. Augustine. We went to the Lighthouse

CVS (we had to pick up some batteries for my smoke detector and a little gift for a friend) and, finally, the beach.
St. Augustine Beach Thanksgiving 2008
I took my sandals off at the beach and was quite happy that I walked 10 minutes out and 10 minutes back. It was a beautiful Thanksgiving Day. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery and a beautiful time to be alive.
What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
Greetings from St. Augustine
The Nights of Lights has begun. Last Friday night, an annual event was launched which starts the week before Thanksgiving and ends January 31st.
If you would like to see a spectacular display of white lights that illuminate the historic buildings of St. Augustine, then you will want to visit us this winter. Millions of white lights create a wonderful tapestry of brilliant and magical optical delights. Celebrate this holiday season with Henry and me in the Nation’s oldest city during the 15th Annual Nights of Lights Celebration in St. Augustine, Florida.
From their web site at www.nightsoflights.com you read that its origins date back “to the Spanish tradition of displaying a lighted white candle during the Christmas holidays, the spectacular lighting reflects the city’s 443-year history while creating a beautiful setting for special memories. ”
Please consider a visit to St. Augustine this winter to enjoy the evening lights and the pleasant climate!
