Dunedin Florida is having an auto show and an antique fair this weekend as well as the Day of The Dead Celebration. There is so much going on today that I had to go and see for myself. Naturally, with my iPhone in hand, it was easy to document what was going on. I read that there was also a stone crab festival and craft beer festival someplace but could not find it......bummer. So Alice and I went to Ohana Cafe in Ozona and relaxed there for a couple of hours after walking through the streets of downtown Dunedin Florida. I had the Kaikaina Salad with fig dressing, pictured below. It was truly wonderful!!! Naturally, the weather was perfect! Just a typical Florida October day!!!!

Today is the Day of the Dead Celebration in downtown Dunedin Florida. This Mexican celebration is a day for praying to those family members who have passed on and it is being celebrated with music and festivities in downtown Dunedin today.

My wonderful birthday dinner was at Spoto's Steak Joint in Dunedin Florida on Main Street.  This is our favorite place for special events and today we had something new. I had the Chicken Orleans with garlic mashed potatoes, fresh carrots and a lovely tossed salad. The chicken was served with a walnut bourbon sauce. Ronnie had a half chicken, fried and served with garlic mash potatoes, fresh carrots and a beautiful tossed salad with blue cheese. As always, we had to take part of our dinner home since it was more than either of us could possibly eat in one sitting.

According to the Florida Association of Realtors, exisiting home sales were up 10.8% in August 2012 over a year ago and pending contracts are up a whopping 40.2% over last August.

My 'other half', Ronnie, went fishing with a couple of buddies yesterday and I drove up just in time to see Mike land one large stingray! He fought this guy for almost an hour before getting it to shore. I promptly jumped out of my car with my iPhone and started clicking away. Ronnie caught one last week that was over three feet from wing tip to wing tip and he did not have a camera along, so I did not want to miss getting a photo of this beautiful stingray. Then Mike released it again.........very carefully since it had one LARGE barb on it! The guys love fishing from shore and on boats. Getting into the water like this is fun and relaxing. On a boat, it can get pretty hot during the summer! They don't always catch something that they can bring home for supper. Fish that are not within... 08/01/2012

Dunedin Florida does indeed have a fantastic waterfront Fish Market, right on Edgewater Drive at the Dunedin Marina.

Get your beer and wine along with your ice and bait for your trip out in your boat, come on back in and have lunch here and before you head home, if you were only out enjoying the Florida sun and not fishing (or if you did not catch anything for dinner) pick up some fresh fish before heading home! It doesn't get any easier than this! The Dunedin Marina and Waterfront Fish Market in beautiful Dunedin Florida! Just one more reason why Dunedin is a fantastic place to live and play... 07/02/2012

Best Western Plus Yacht Harbor Inn in beautiful Dunedin Florida was a TOTAL disappointment for my daughter's wedding night! It was one of my gifts to the newlyweds..........a night on the water in a great room before they left on their Honeymoon. It was supposed to be a wonderful night in a special hotel. I was told that the room had a view of the harbor, as well as a Jacuzzi tub and a king size bed. Cost did not matter, it was my daughter's wedding night. I should have driven over and checked the room out, but I believed what I was told when I made the reservation four months in advance. I did call twice in the interim to make sure it was indeed still reserved. What I did not expect was the level of poor customer service and lies that were told to me! To begin with, the water view was ... 07/01/2012

Dunedin Causeway - Fishing, Boating, Sun Bathing, Walking - Florida Style The Dunedin Causeway connects the mainland out to Honeymoon Island State Park and is a local favorite to launch boats and kayaks, do some wade fishing, enjoy the sun with a good book or take a nice long walk along the water.

Right now the Oleander bushes are in full bloom, making this fantastic area even more beautiful! A little bit of heaven for the photographer!
