February 28

Busy, fun day in Venice and then Punta Gorda. There was a large flea market/craft sale going on here at the Florida Pines Mobile Home/RV Park. We checked it out and had some yummy pastries and then homemade soup (we were told the ham & bean soup was THEE best) and it was very good! We also got some turkey chowder (supposed to be only in the 60's tomorrow so soup sounds like a good idea)?
And then late morning, we were off to Punta Gorda for the State Farm Retiree Luncheon - great time with 94 in attendance. Afterwards, 5 couples who are long-time boating friends met on the rooftop of the new Wyvern Hotel in downtown Punta Gorda for drinks and chatter. What a beautiful place and LuLu's was awesome with the view all around the city, the ambiance with the pool, bar, cozy seating, and perfect sunny Saturday.
