Watching our last sunset on the beach...
We will be heading north tomorrow for Charlotte then up to Lake George for the summer. It is bitter sweet because it has been a great season in Nokomis and The Royal Coachman, but we can't wait to smell the fresh air of The Adirondacks and for Mary Ann to be with her family.

Happy Easter from the past...
To all our Urch grandchildren, here are some pictures of your great grandfather Urch painting intricate Easter Eggs over 50 years ago... He spent years painting these eggs and hanging them in our front yard for the holiday.

Another sunset on the beach.

Surfs' up on Nokomis Beach...
It's not quite like the California coast, but these kids are having a lot of fun.

Baby racoon came to visit us for breakfast...I gave him a banana, told him he should be sleeping during the day and sent him on his way.

Fishing on The Venice Pier...
Our catch for the day looked a lot like our bait.

1/2 of a Spring Break Vacation...
Mike and Logan came down last week to visit...Kailey was sick and could not make it...and Mary Ann had to go into the hospital for a few days...so we did what we do best....the boys went out to eat.
