72 degrees and perfect

Today is a perfect day. The weather couldn't be any better. The Grove is packed with people from one end to the other.

At left is a little sneak peek of the new art being put up at The Grove Spot on Virginia Street. Jeff Roman, the waiter and bartender is also an amazing artist. By the end of today, this will be the new "spot" marker outside The Grove Spot.

Remember there was a buoy marker there since they opened, AnnaMaria and Fred Hunt painted that last February, almost a year ago.

Also around town: Cameron Diaz shopping on Main Highway, caught her at Unika, she snuck out the back door when the paparazzi showed up (my friend John with my camera, I was to shy too take the picture) and Isiah Thomas, Grove resident, at Starbucks, who was nice enough to give me a nice "hello" when he entered.

The Girl Scouts have been out in force, at The Bookstore and CocoWalk, selling their delicious cookies, the parks are full and the guys and girls from the Rolex Miami OCR Regatta are winding up today as it's the last day of the event.

The Mayfair Antique Market is open and lots of folks are taking advantage of that and it seems like a lot of tourists are in town, I guess they escaped all that snow up north. Tomorrow should be a repeat of today.

If you haven't been out, get out there. It's an amazing day.
