Tuesday, March 22nd in Melbourne Beach

It was another great weather day in Florida.

We did a little shopping at the "BEALLS" store in Melbourne.  It's hard to beat, 30% off most items and another 15% off as it was seniors day (50 and over). 






We hit the beach for a walk and returned for a dip in the pool.  Later in the evening we had Liz and Richard over for a BBQ.  All is well.

Helene has a nasty bite on her left back leg...done by a bug here called "no-see-um"....

WHAT IS A NO-SEE-UM?   No-see-ums are tiny biting flies that often live near water.  You often see many of themnosee1.gif (6853 bytes)swarming together in a cloud.  Keep your mouth shut or you might breathe some in or swallow them!  (It won’t hurt you, but it will probably make you cough.)   Biting midges are called no-see-ums because they’re so tiny that it is hard to see ‘um.  No-see-ums are less than ¼ of an inch long.
