I never thought I’d become a snowbird but for this season, with the pandemic in full swing, spending any lengthy stay out of the United States seemed a little risky. So my dear husband relentlessly looked for a house to rent in Florida with a three month lease. We found our winter home in the gated community of Rainberry Bay.
It’s a lovely two bedroom two bath home with all the creature comforts of home. I’ve been doing a bit of cooking and we brought some of our kitchenware from home.
The weather has been sunny and mostly in the 70s. Not always the warmest weather to go to the beach or pool but very nice all the same. We haven’t been to the pool in Rainberry Bay but have taken a swim or two at my sister’s condo.
Right outside our back door, we have a pond with a walking path around it. I believe it’s a little over a mile for one time around.
The fountain in the pond is quite pretty but on really windy days we can feel the effects of it when we’re walk along the path. Normally that might be refreshing but on the cooler days, I would rather avoid it.
There is quite a bit of bird life around the pond but thankfully no alligators to welcome us.
We have visited Wakodahatchee Wetlands where wildlife abounds. There we get to see gators without getting too close.
We also visited Green Cay Wetlands where I spotted a Roseate Spoonbill.
There were many more birds and gators here since we visited last year. And Florida is having a problem with too many Iguanas.
We walked the boardwalk which was almost two miles around if you take the extra loop.
Bruce and I went to the driving range ay Westchester Country Club. I’m trying to improve my swing so I can get out on the golf course. I need a lot of work because I bob up and down and watch my ball. And to top it off, I pulled something in my back.
We went to the IMAX with Linda and Stan. No 3D but the surround sound was great. We saw Wonder Woman 84 which we all enjoyed with the exception of Bruce.
Last Friday my daughter Lauren had a long layover in Fort Lauderdale on her way to The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. We picked her up at the airport and went to Lester’s Diner for breakfast. It was an old fashioned diner and the food was great.
Bruce went to the doctor today. He has an upper respiratory infection. The doctor did a Covid and flu test on him. Keep your fingers crossed it’s not that serious.
All in all we are enjoying our time in Delray Beach. Now to get Bruce to rest!
