As each day passed, bringing a new tomorrow It softened the hurt and much of our sorrow
We all remember in our own special way Th e impression he made each and every day
A look, a smile, or the grumbling sounds Of a man set in his ways and holding his ground
A phrase, a laugh, a bark, or a long sigh All simple memories of a ‘very’ special guy
His inspiration and dedication helping conquer our fears Flamingoettes, from left, Donnetta Beck, Janine Pirrone, Laura Laukaitis and Alexis Marcinkoski Th e patience and kindness shared throughout the years ISH (Friends In Service Here) of Sanibel has announced that the Lazy Flamingo, Sanibel’s well-known seafood restaurant, is sponsoring the 10k Race So as one season ends, a fresh one ready to start F4 FISH.

As we look to the future, things still unclear The race is being held in conjunction with the Fort Myers Track Club and is expected to attract more than 400 participants this year.

Store employee Susan Young explained that while there Shoes, Shirts And Surfwashed Shorts may not be a much need for the warm boots among island residents, most of her clientele are tourists from colder climates, and UGGs are not always easy to find up north. Furthermore, Europeans love them. UGGs are on sale right now for $130 to $170. A surprise, at least to me, was that UGG makes sandals, great-looking ones, and even flip-flops. Sandals are on sale for about $70 and flip-flops for about $20.

There are fun things throughout the store, and it doesn’t stop at the counter, where items will catch your eye for that last-minute addition to your purchase: mugs, jewelry, slap watches for $19.95 (they’re straight and taut until you hit them lightly on your wrist and they curl around it), stickers, window decals and thermal drinking glasses. While I was there, two shoppers who were visiting from New York and New Jersey were stocking up on Life is Good wear – they do it every year because Synergy on Sanibel, they said, has the best selection they’ve ever seen. On to Adventures in Paradise Outfitters, where co-owner Josh Stewart told me some exciting news: the store is bringing in a full line of Tommy Bahama mer- chandise in October. They will have a large selection of both men’s and women’s clothing as well as accessories, candles, diffusers, and CDs. The Tommy Bahama style will be a perfect fit with the classy island ambience the store already possesses and is sure to be a popular stop on both residents’ and tourists’ shopping sprees.
