Maybe cats first and then turkey.
Bob and I are caring for three food-named cats at our current housesit — Nutmeg, Parsley (Nutmeg’s daughter), and Seasame (pronounced Sesame). We really (at least so far) interact with Seasame. The other two are pretty happy for us to be food sources, although Parsley comes close enough to check us out on occasion.

our pretty constant companion and a great purrer.
On a Google search of what to do around Niceville, a few things have popped up. One is the Turkey Creek Nature Trail which begins in Turkey Creek Park. It is basically a mile long boardwalk along a creek and marshy vegetation. While a number of signs in the park announce the presence of alligators, bears, and snakes and warn that you swim in the creek at your own risk, they provide a number of docks along the boardwalk for you to enter the water to swim or float. In fact, we saw a group of moms and young kids playing in the water and quite a few teens and young adults walking to the far end of the boardwalk with their inner tubes to float back to the start.
Although we would have liked to have seen an alligator, as we felt safe on the elevated boardwalk, we had no desire to chance seeing one up close by getting in the water.

It was the first CCC camp in the state of Florida.





but the bottom is muddy and sandy.


although “Swim at your own risk” signs were posted at each one.

in memory of loved ones who have died.



Tonight we walked 5 minutes down the street to the marina to the L J Schooners Oyster Bar. Crazy good happy hour and lovely setting!
