Saturday October 19th

 You're not defined by your past; 
you're prepared by it. You're stronger, more
 experienced, and you have greater confidence...

The highlight of yesterday was Music Walk
 Downtown Fort Myers. If anything it was even 
better than ever.  People just wanted to forget and have
 some fun after all that has been going on lately 👏


I heard people say things like,”imagine all of this 
was flooded just last week and look at it now.  It just
 can’t get any better.”  They were right.  There was some 
flooding but businesses opened up the very next day. 
 This time Fort Myers was spared.  Relief.

There were people/pets of every age group here.  We 
loved seeing the little kids having a great time, and
 just dancing away to the music.  Music is ageless.


Arvid and I started out at our usual spot, Hideaway Bar.  
The place was packed. We thought that because it was a little 
on the cooler side that's why most of the crowd was gathered
 there. Truth is there were people everywhere having fun.


After the first set of music we decided to walk 
around and check out the other spots.  Everywhere 
was packed. Seems like everyone was just fed up 
with all these hurricanes, tornadoes you name it and
 just decided to come out and have a good time.


The music was lively and fun.  There was a 
variety of different types of music.  I have to say
 last night was one in the best Music Walks ever; 
that we have been to. Everyone wanted to get 
out some of their stresses and just live life.

Everyone was having a great time.  Many were 
also already dressed for Halloween already.  Even the 
Blues Brothers made an appearance.  It was just fun. 
 Looking forward to the Halloween extravaganza.


Jesus made his usual appearance. As usual he 
was condemning everyone. Calling everyone a sinner. 
 He is one of my favorite characters during Music Walk.  
I really get a kick out of listening to him.  He’s so
 bizarre.  Everyone just stares at him and laughs.


We checked out most of the bands. All were good.  It 
was a beautiful evening. Filled with people enjoying life
 and at the same time grateful for all their blessings.

Aside from Music Walk I did a lot of cleaning
 and we had an “office” day to catch up with phone calls 
and paperwork. No working at the house yesterday.


Sniff as usual had lots of attention and lots of brushing. 
He also loves getting massages which I always give him 
lots of.  Last night he slept curled up to me the entire night.
  For seven hours I could hardly move, but I love it.


Saturday.  Today it’s a full day for Arvid with soccer. 
After a week of working almost everyday at the 
house it will be good to just do nothing today.
  Saturday is movie night. Always a good time.


Wishing everyone a good day.

Don’t settle for what life gives you; 
make life better and build something...
