Weekend With Tim and Beverly
My cousin Tim and I have always been close. Even though it is sometimes years between visits, when we get together it's as if time never passed. He and wife Beverly invited us down to their place on the beach in Gulf Breeze, Florida, and we decided to just go ahead and do it. So after my session on Friday night, we drove down to Florida, arriving around 3:00 in the morning, caught a short nap, then at noon we went nearly nonstop for the rest of the weekend until we had to leave on Sunday afternoon. What a blast!
![]() Captain Tim and first mate David Don't we look nautical, though? Tim had it all under control and we were absolutely along for the ride. |
![]() Portrait of fun Diane held the camera for this one, and it turned out great. |
![]() Juana's When we finally got stirring around the middle of the afternoon on Saturday, we decided to get something to eat at Juana's Restaurant, across the waterway. Good food, good people. |
![]() Party Boats Tim took us to a little lagoon formed after hurricane Ivan passed through. A few other folks knew about it, too. They were partying down when we got there. |
![]() Fetch! Bev took their dog, Fiji, on the boat with us. He loves to get in the water and fetch his ball. What a little trooper! |
![]() Give the little lady a hand.. Tim took this shot of David holding out his hand for Diane to step up on. Yes, it's real. She's lost a LOT of weight! |
![]() Your best comedy club pal is.. Beverly Johnson! She and Diane love to laugh, |
![]() Show us your... ... well never mind. |
![]() I know how you feel Kitty looks a little tired and on a short fuse. Actually, their Himalaya cat was so mellow and sweet. |
![]() Welcome This parrot butler is the first thing you see when you enter the front door to Tim and Bev's place. Very inviting. |
![]() Gin People Band We brought along GINSing and GINeral Counsel. They really hit it off with the Johnson's wine bottle opener. Looks like they're ready to rock, just like Harold Smith (that's what Bev heard when she was told the name of the group that did "Walk This Way" - aka Aerosmith). |
![]() That'll leave a mark At least until the tide comes back in. We took this picture on the lagoon beach. Diane is known for the toes. David has two different size feet. Tim is a giant. Bev has pancake soles. |
