When our owners were in town last week for their annual meeting, several of them opted to enjoy the gorgeous weather we had with a relaxing game of croquet.

Owners Bob and Judy G. snapped this photo of daughter Rachel on her recent visit here, when she pedaled more than 550 miles during her week on Sanibel.
That’s some serious pedal power! Can’t wait to see what she does on her next trip down!
As they say, after every storm the sun always shines.

Sometimes the most challenging game of catch is not in a backyard or baseball field, but in the roaring surf of the Gulf of Mexico!
This photo, taken last week, shows the wind walloping the waves into a foamy frenzy, thanks to a distant tropical storm. Looks like it ended up providing father and son with a rocking rendition of the time-honored tradition of “catch”!
