Buddy Day? December 27th?

Found this on Google.

So... I talked to an anonymous buddy family today. And I found out about how this particular buddy family is going to be in town a certain amount of time for sure. And this particular buddy said that they would be almost 100% sure of being able to do something on Saturday, December 27th.
Now, I'm not going to mention who this buddy is, in case it causes conflicts within their Illinois family... because this certain buddy has promised friends hanging out time before confirming family plans. But I will give you the hint that they may not be wearing socks or shoes, might like biking in the winter, might live in Florida and possibly have a last name that begins with a "Hastin"...
That's all I'm sayin though.
So, CHIME IN ON THE COMMENTS!
Let's figure out the where's and who can be involved.
oof.

in the streets of dixon

in the streets of dixon
you might find
with clipboards holding forms to sign
two people of a certain kind
knocking on your door


they greet you with a casual glance
in their "business-like" sort of stance
and ask,
"Perhaps, is there any chance
some money you'd like to save?"


somedays they might just drag their feets
because of the stretching of the streets
but Arthur's provides them tasty treats
that push them further on

so if you see them, jon and shawn
please don't just kick them off your lawn
another "yes" keeps them keeping on
til the day starts again

Beach in October???

I arrived in Florida on Saturday morning... to this...



The water by their home was red this past weekend... which they hadn't seen before... and were told it was some sort of fungal tide. mmmm... fungal.


One of the places we went was Johnson Beach, where the Hastings spend a lot of dinners in the evenings.






On Sunday we went to Pensacola Beach, and walked on the pier and saw a giant seaturtle! My camera reflexes weren't good enough, but it was like 4 feet long!














oh my!!





This is Dale out on his sailboat in their backyard pretty much. I got to go out with him once before I left, and it was very serene... and tranquil...


Thanks a bunch for having me and taking care of me this past weekend Dale and Brooke! Looking forward to seeing you all around Christmas.
