• Stopped by an estate sale in Clearwater (but basically in Dunedin) filled with blue and white treasures. One of the best parts of estate sales is getting to see all kinds of homes, landscaping, and areas. I like to take pictures and make mental notes of design ideas, etc. for the future.
• After the sale, I walked the whole of Dunedin’s main street and grabbed a Dunedin Bliss at the you-guessed-it, the Dunedin Coffee Company & Bakery. Then I slurped away and tucked into a fresh oatmeal cookie while getting some work done — this is a great opportunity for eavesdropping and people watching.
