Sarasota Fun & Sun Resort




This is a very pretty place! Hot tubs, large warm (85) pool for swimming and games, computer room, exercise room, fishing, biking, music for dancing at night by pool, tiki bar and a dog park that Page just loves! Page jumps out of the car and heads right toward the dog area. We let her off the leash and she does absolutely nothing except smelling the other dogs scents and pees - no running, no catching the balls, no initiated socialization with any other dogs present - but she goes there at least 6 times a day! I don't 'get it' - but she is happy so (Mostly) Bob keeps takes her.

For Sale: Cook Books


Friends:
As the holidays approach, you may be interested in cooking something different for guests. There is nothing like an alligator Thanksgiving to liven up the dinner table! Or, for the not-so-good cooks, try the No Fault Cooking recipes - maybe there is a coupon in it for free legal defense if you mess up totally? Written by lawyers, I think it is a very funny / unique book title. I think I can ship most of there for the basic $2.50 media rate - except for the Italian book - that one will have to be about $5.00 - sorry but it is a gorgeous recipe book - worth paying the postage.

Thanks for looking. PayPal (with credit card option) and checks accepted. Madlyn

FS:Jonette - Chico Estate Jewelry


Friends;

I will be putting these 3 pins up for sale on eBay soon if they don't sell here. If you are interested in investing, collecting or wearing estate/collectible jewelry, have a look - I really like these pins!

As you can see, they are 3 inches tall, pewter (or pewter like), done by the Jonette company in 1988, I think distributed by Chicos - and you know they had to sell for a lot more than I'm asking here: $25.00 for all 3 pieces. The cactus has one small 'ding' on the left edge but that is all of the potential "flaws" that I see. If you are interested in only one piece and the set hasn't sold, $10.00. Add $2.50 postage for shipping in U.S. for one or all 3 pieces. Thanks for looking. Madlyn
