"Gravity" the movie & Vero Beach British Bash

Last week Mike took down the old ceiling fan in the family room and put up the new one we bought in Vero Beach. I took a photo of Mike on the ladder getting ready to put up the new ceiling fan.

We went to the movie theater in the Indian River Mall in Vero Beach last week to see the movie "Gravity" with George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. We really enjoyed the movie and it kept us on the edge of our seats. After the movie we stopped at Dairy Queen for a couple of Reese's Peanut Cup Blizzards - our favorite.

We didn't do much of any interest this week unless you call grocery shopping, doing laundry and housecleaning interesting - necessary but not newsworthy.

This morning we drove down to Vero Beach to go to the British Bash at Riverside Park. British Bash is a British car and motorcycle show sponsored by the MG Car Club Florida.

Most of the cars and motorcycles were parked

Vero Beach Air Show

Today was the first day of the Vero Beach Air Show at the Vero Beach Airport. We loaded up a couple of folding chairs and headed down to the airport. I had bought our tickets a couple of days ago online ($31.96 for both of us), so we wouldn't have to buy our tickets at the gate. We didn't pay the extra fee for VIP parking, so we had about a 2 block walk to the entrance to the airport. The last time there was an air show at Vero Beach was 16 years ago.

After showing our tickets at the entrance and having our hands stamped, we found a good spot to set up our chairs and to wait for the air show to start.

Unfortunately there were no military aircraft displays and the Army's Golden Knights and the Navy's F/A-18 Tactical Demonstration Team were unable to make the show due to the sequestration.

But we saw a lot of great performers doing low-level stunt flying,

Fletcher's Visit & Move back to Ft. Lauderdale

Sunday we went to Squid Lips Grill here in Sebastian for a late lunch.

We had a great view of the docks and river from our table and there was a nice easterly breeze off of the river.

I ordered the Citrus Salmon dinner and Mike had the H20 Burger. Our bill came to $37 (including 3 draft beers), but we had a coupon for 1 free entrée so our bill came to $21. Both of our dinners were great and the food was presented well.

Monday we had our friends Cindi and Ron over for dinner. We hadn't seen them in months and we enjoyed hearing about the camping trips they had been on this summer.

Our BIG NEWS is that Fletcher decided to move back to Ft. Lauderdale
