Jacksonville


Yesterday we drove up to Jacksonville to hang out with my brother and his wife and daughter. I am now living in home-improvement-project heaven! My brother loves working on his house and yard, and he has a roster of activities planned for the day. My activities mostly involve lying in a hammock and reading a book, unless it rains -- in which case I will move to the couch.

Last night we went to a restaurant called European Street, a sort of exotic deli, and I finally had a Chimay beer, which Dave told me about months ago but I never had an opportunity to try. I had to text him immediately and tell him I found it in Jacksonville!

We walked back to the car along the St. John's River, where I snapped the photo above.

Another unbeatable Florida sky! And I must say your brother seems to be a font of experience and knowledge. Ask him what his top 3 materials for fixing/making things are; I would like to compare them to my father's list of toothpicks, Vaseline, golf tees, and soda cans (which can be cut up to make an assortment of things.)
