I
lived on the left side
Upon accepting the job in Melbourne Florida, I had a small
problem, where was I to live? As it turned out, my friend
Robin was from Indialantic and her Mother who still lived there was
a realtor, so Robin's mother found me a place in Indialantic, just
across the Indian River from Melbourne that was one block from A1A
which runs right along the beach.
Once again, I found myself living in a duplex. There five or six
identical ones on the street with the owner/landlord living in the
one next to me. Indialantic is a narrow strip of land with the
Atlantic on one side and the Indian River on the other, I could walk
to the beach in less than a minute and see a sunrise and ride my
bike in the other direction and see the sunset over the Indian
River. The office I initially worked at was mile down the
road on A1A. Later when I started working at Harris, I had to
drive across the causeway over the Indian River each day which is a
most beautiful drive.
One sad thing about my stay there was I lost my cat Kathleen which I had
brought with me from Gainesville.
It was in Indialantic at Pete’s, a dinner at the end of the main street
that I last saw Robin. I was having lunch when a noisy group
came in and got seated when I hear, "Larry!", I turned around and it
was Robin. Robin, with her husband Kevin and their new baby
were home visiting their families, they all came to lunch at Pete's.
We talked briefly for a few moments and she went back to her table
and I to mine.

After renting since moving out on my own, I decided I wanted to buy a
house of my own and bought a house in Melbourne on Easy Street.
