I love being in Florida and taking 'day trips'!
And visiting the Gulf Coast is ALWAYS fun...
and a great place to eat 'Almond Fried Grouper'...
and see the sights!
We had some wonderful bird sightings....
these birds were dancing in the sky!
We even saw these storks today...
and the weather was gorgeous!
Hey WAIT!!! The Key Lime Pie is for later, Honey!
Thanks for all of the sweet birthday messages!
My wish? To be happy and healthy! 
I hope your day is filled with happiness!

Happy Birthday my friend..Hugs and smiles Gloria
OMGosh, Diane, how did I miss your birthday? I am so sorry, but want to wish you a wonderful one, anyway! Please let me know when it was!
What restaurant were you visiting? From the photos it looks like one I've visited before! Are they famous for their soft-shell crabs and have them out back in tanks?
Anyway, Happy Birhday again. You look fabulous!
XOXO,

Best wishes.
Happy Birthday Diane. It looks like you are celebrating and having a ball! Debbie xxx000
Great shots and wasn't it nice of the birds to dance for you? We do have the most gorgeous birds in Florida, don't we. I was out photographing some just yesterday.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Why do I suddenly have a craving for Key Lime Pie?
Your lunch looks delicious.
I've never been to the Gulf Coast, but I do love Florida.
I like the way you captured thos birds in flight against the brilliant blue sky.
Happy Birthday! La
Would love to know the name of the restaurant. We used to eat a lot of grouper in Fort Myers Beach. That sounds like a great meal and I'm glad you had a great special day.
And if we're happy..., we're much more likely to be healthy!!
Hope you are having a wonderful birthday week. Happy Birthday! And Key Lime Pie...Oh, Yummy!

Happy birthday! Fried grouper and key lime pie - be still my heart!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I LOVE that picture of you!! What a cutie you are! Wish I could meet you one day...but even if I never do..it so much fun having you in my life! Just wanted to tell you that!!
Diane, it looks like you had a really special day! I'm jealous of the WARM weather you have for being outside! It's gorgeous here, sunny and bright, but -9 this morning! At least the snow on the ground makes it pretty!!
Hugs, Diane
Hello LD, thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of your day trip. Wish I was in Fl now with the cold temps here in NY. Enjoy your days there. Happy birthday.

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY!!!
We are hoping to get to FL within the next couple of months to visit my BFF who is turning 60. I can hardly wait to walk the beach!
Enjoy your Birthday!
Warmly,

Great photos! Love the one of the Woodstorks on the palm tree snags... I love living on the Gulf Coast!
Hi Diane,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! Hope you enjoyed a great day. Loved catching up with your posts. Looks like the best day and your always take the best pics.
Love your new jewelry and you look just great in your black and white outfit. So thin my friend!!
Love your bedroom before and after pics. Your home is beautiful and you have made it even better with your redos. The flower arrangement lifted on the table and box with skirt really makes a statement in the corner. Great eye!!
Hugs from Texas, Celestina Marie
I just found your blog because you became a follower on mine..I put a link to your blog so I will know every time you post.
Hop on over to my blog when you have time and leave a comment to be entered in my give away drawing :)
Opps..I put a link to your blog on my left sidebar..didn't say that right the first time :) :)
Happened onto your blog by clicking a link on another blog that belongs to a member of my Needle Punch yahoo group. Just wanted to say that I love the photos from your day trip to the Gulf Coast. I used to live in Bradenton, and I got homesick for Florida looking at your photos. Thanks for letting me visit. (Also, love your birthday outfit!)Wanda in Edmonton, Canada
Looking at your photo's filled with sunshine were a refreshing change this morning! We (I) am anxious for sun and warmth!
It looks like a wonderful day! Happy Belated Birthday :)
Wendy
Beautiful scene's, those bird pics are really neat!
A very happy Birthday to you! That pie looks awesome, nice big slice!
It is so wonderful to see you so "warm" looking from my cold vantage point here in Ohio. Key Lime Pie is my all time favorite. My husband always brings it back home to me when he travels to Fla. The storks in the tops of the trees is so interesting. Imagine perching there on such long legs! Such a fun post, thank you for sharing with us! Elizabeth
Thank you for this little tour of a warmer climate - I love the gulf coast - if we ever move to FLorida part time for retirement, I'm headed for the Gulf. That Key Lime Pie looks divine!!!...(my favorite when it's a good one)
Beautiful shots! Looks like it was a lovely day, and that fish looks so yummy! Hope you had a lovely Birthday too!
I love ALL the pics, Diane, but especially you in your French stripe sweater! Wishing you a fabulous day!!
He has a coupon for you any day! lol!
Dear Friend, I feel so bad that I missed wishing you a happy birthday! I DO wish you one though, I do, I do!!!
:)
Love and hugs,
Mona
